What does data_ptr()->data() mean in QBitArray? - qt

In short here is the code (qt5.9,wingw32 win10 debug32):
QBitArray array;
array.resize(32);
//...
//array in hex: 0xaabbccdd
char* data = array.data_ptr()->data();
qDebug() << data[0]; //output: 8
//and the size of data is 5:
//data[0]: 0x08
//data[1]: 0x55
//data[2]: 0xdd
//data[3]: 0x33
//data[4]: 0xbb
It seems not like the answer said.
And I did not find the explanation in qt.io documentation.

Difference in QByteArray.data() and constData()

With Qt 5.8.0.
This code runs as I expected.
static const char mydata[] = {
0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4
};
QByteArray ba = QByteArray::fromRawData(mydata, sizeof(mydata));
const char *p = ba.constData();
const char *pp = QByteArray::fromRawData(mydata, sizeof(mydata)).constData();
qDebug("%p %p\n", p, pp);
output
0x40f548 0x40f548
dump
p 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04
pp 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04
But, I am struggling to understand what happens with this code after using data() instead of constData().
char *p = ba.data();
char *pp = QByteArray::fromRawData(mydata, sizeof(mydata)).data();
output
0x166941e8 0x166f8e70
dump
p 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04
pp 0xee 0xfe 0xee 0xfe 0xee 0xfe ... (should be 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 ?)
As explained in Qt documentation, data() function gives you a deep copy of pointer to QByteArray data so every time that is called, it will gives you another value (different address).
While constData() gives you a read only pointer to main object so it value doesn't change on every time calling.
For more details you can check here for data() function description, and here for constData() description.

Is this code send hex data in correct way in Qt C++?

I am new to Qt.I am working on finger print madoule with this document. I want to send my data to serial port in this format:
I wrote my code in this format, but I think my data has mistake, because this code turn on the LED in some device:
QByteArray ba;
ba.resize(24);
ba[0]=0x55;
ba[1]=0xAA;
ba[2]=0x24;
ba[3]=0x01;
ba[4]=0x01;
ba[5]=0x00;
ba[6]=0x00;
ba[7]=0x00;
ba[8]=0x00;
ba[9]=0x00;
ba[10]=0x00;
ba[11]=0x00;
ba[12]=0x00;
ba[13]=0x00;
ba[14]=0x00;
ba[15]=0x00;
ba[16]=0x00;
ba[17]=0x00;
ba[18]=0x00;
ba[19]=0x00;
ba[20]=0x00;
ba[21]=0x00;
ba[22]=0x27;
ba[23]=0x01;
p->writedata(ba);
Is this data correct?
You're just copying a drawing into code. It won't work without understanding what the drawing means. You seem to miss that:
The LEN field seems to be a little-endian integer that gives the number of bytes in the DATA field - perhaps it's the number of bytes that carry useful information if the packet has a fixed size.
The CKS field seems to be a checksum of some sort. You need to calculate it based on the contents of the packet. The protocol documentation should indicate whether it's across the entire packet or not, and how to compute the value.
It seems like you are talking to a fingerprint identification module like FPM-1502, SM-12, ADST11SD300/310 or similar. If so, then you could obtain a valid command packet as follows:
QByteArray cmdPacket(quint16 cmd, const char *data, int size) {
Q_ASSERT(size <= 16);
QByteArray result(24, '\0');
QDataStream s(&result, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
s.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian);
s << quint16(0xAA55) << cmd << quint16(size);
s.writeRawData(data, size);
s.skipRawData(22 - s.device()->pos());
quint16 sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 22; ++i)
sum += result[i];
s << sum;
qDebug() << result.toHex();
return result;
}
QByteArray cmdPacket(quint16 cmd, const QByteArray& data) {
return cmdPacket(cmd, data.data(), data.size());
}
The command packet to turn the sensor led on/off can be obtained as follows:
QByteArray cmdSensorLed(bool on) {
char data[2] = {'\0', '\0'};
if (on) data[0] = 1;
return cmdPacket(0x124, data, sizeof(data));
}

C++: OpenSSL, aes cfb encryption [duplicate]

I tried to implement a "very" simple encryption/decryption example. I need it for a project where I would like to encrypt some user information. I can't encrypt the whole database but only some fields in a table.
The database and most of the rest of the project works, except the encryption:
Here is a simplified version of it:
#include <openssl/aes.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
/* ckey and ivec are the two 128-bits keys necessary to
en- and recrypt your data. Note that ckey can be
192 or 256 bits as well
*/
unsigned char ckey[] = "helloworldkey";
unsigned char ivec[] = "goodbyworldkey";
int bytes_read;
unsigned char indata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char outdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
unsigned char decryptdata[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
/* data structure that contains the key itself */
AES_KEY keyEn;
/* set the encryption key */
AES_set_encrypt_key(ckey, 128, &keyEn);
/* set where on the 128 bit encrypted block to begin encryption*/
int num = 0;
strcpy( (char*)indata , "Hello World" );
bytes_read = sizeof(indata);
AES_cfb128_encrypt(indata, outdata, bytes_read, &keyEn, ivec, &num, AES_ENCRYPT);
cout << "original data:\t" << indata << endl;
cout << "encrypted data:\t" << outdata << endl;
AES_cfb128_encrypt(outdata, decryptdata, bytes_read, &keyEn, ivec, &num, AES_DECRYPT);
cout << "input data was:\t" << decryptdata << endl;
return 0;
}
But the output of "decrypted" data are some random characters, but they are the same after every execution of the code. outdata changes with every execution...
I tried to debug and search for a solution, but I couldn't find any solution for my problem.
Now my question, what is going wrong here? Or do I completely misunderstand the provided functions?
The problem is that AES_cfb128_encrypt modifies the ivec (it has to in order to allow for chaining). Your solution is to create a copy of the ivec and initialize it before each call to AES_cfb128_encrypt as follows:
const char ivecstr[AES_BLOCK_SIZE] = "goodbyworldkey\0";
unsigned char ivec[AES_BLOCK_SIZE];
memcpy( ivec , ivecstr, AES_BLOCK_SIZE);
Then repeat the memcpy before your second call to AES_cfb128_encrypt.
Note 1: Your initial vector was a byte too short, so I put an explicit additional \0 at the end of it. You should make sure all of your strings are of the correct length when copying or passing them.
Note 2: Any code which uses encryption should REALLY avoid using strcpy or any other copy of unchecked length. It's a hazard.

Qt How to copy 2. and 3. index of char array to quint16?

I am trying to take 2. and 3. index content values from a char[3] array. How can I take these two bytes to copy, equaling to quint16 variable.
Like this, for example:
char foo[3] = { 0x99, 0xEF, 0xBE };
quint16 bar = (quint8)(foo[1]) + (((qint8)(foo[2]))<<8);
qDebug() << hex << bar;
Output:

Serial port communication in Qt

I am new to Qt and need to prepare a project to send hex commands from rs232.
QString line contains 64bit binary data which i have to convert into hexadecimal and send it through rs232 .
QString a=ui->comboBox->currentText();
QString s1;
s1="./calc "+a;
QProcess p1;
p1.start(s1);
p1.waitForFinished(-1);
QString line ;
//read
QFile file("TeleOutput.txt");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
return;
QTextStream in (&file);
line = in.readAll();
ui->plainTextEdit->setPlainText(line);
So, how to convert 64 bit binary data in QString line to hexadecimal value and transfer it through rs232?
First of all - you should really use QtSerialPort
Second of all - QString is a class, which works with actual string. QByteArray works with raw data. When you write QString line = in.readAll(); it implicitly calls QString(const QByteArray &ba), which uses QString::fromAscii.
Last of all, if you want to process 64bit integers, you should do something like this:
quint64 d;
QDataStream stream(&file);
while (!stream.atEnd())
{
stream >> d;
process(d);
}
Update
Quote:
My problem is that in plainTextEdit
"1111110101000101010101010101010101010101010101010101010......." 64
bit data is populated , i need to convert this data into hex and send it through rs232
Solution:
QString binData = plainTextEdit.toPlainText();
QByteArray result;
while (binData.size() >= 64)
{
quint64 d;
QString dataPiece = binData.left(64);
binData.remove(0, 64);
d = dataPiece.toULongLong(0, 2);
result += QByteArray::number(d);
}
_com->write(result);
_com->flush();
Where _com is a pointer to QtSerialPort, with all parameters set and opened without errors.
