Based on my reading of the documentation, yes. The char pointer will be invalid after the *statement* in which qPrintable() is used. You've already provided additional evidence that your string is pointing to unallocated memory... you previously wrote >Bob Moran wrote on 03. September 2014 06:25 >>I discovered that a malloc call for 500+ bytes was returning a pointer 8 >>bytes below my SQL string On the face of it, I'd suggest that indicates that the memory pointed by your char* has been reallocated since it was returned to the free store. Also, as Alessandro mentioned, the length you're using is likely unreliable.
