Executable getting somehow corrupted when being co

问题:

I'm using Qt's QNetworkAccessManager to download a file from a place (currently the local machine, but in the future it will be an HTTP server) and temporarily store it in the TEMP file (linux ubuntu). The problem I've found is that the file (which is an executable) gets corrupted in the process: when I try to run the file as executable, it returns a classical error of problematic cross-compilation.

Now that's interesting because the file is a executable for a Embedded Linux Device - I'm downloading the executable to my TEMP so I may send it later to the device. When that happens (using FileZilla), though, this error message appears:

./re8k_interface-tgt: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

Now I know the original file is fine by copying it to the device and running it, so I'm aware it has something to do with the process of copying the file, either when downloading or when writing to a QFile object. Here is how I'm doing it for now:

//Call to download
QUrl ulrTemp("//" + downloadUrls[downloadStep].arg(ui->sbID->text()));
ulrTemp.setScheme("file");

qDebug() << "Downloading from" << ulrTemp;

poReply = downloadNetworkManager->get(QNetworkRequest(ulrTemp));

connect(poReply,SIGNAL(downloadProgress(qint64,qint64)),this,SLOT(slotTransferProgress(qint64,qint64)));
connect(poReply,SIGNAL(error(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)),this,SLOT(slotTransferError(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)));


//When finished
QByteArray downloadedData;
downloadedData = reply->readAll();

reply->deleteLater();
poReply->deleteLater();

static const QString tempFilePath = QDir::tempPath();

QFile file(tempFilePath + "/" + downloadNames[downloadStep]);

if (!file.open(QFile::WriteOnly | QFile::Truncate))
{
    qDebug() << "Failure opening temp file to write: " << file.fileName();

    return;
}

QDataStream stream(&file);

stream << downloadedData;

file.close();

P.s.: I'm aware of the necessity of setting permissions

The copied file size matches exactly the original. So, where is the problem I can't see?

回答1:

When writing a byte array to a QDataStream, the array's length is written as well.

Simply don't use the data stream, use QFile, or, better QTemporaryFile directly.

The example below demonstrates how to leverage C++11 and Qt 5 to make it really simple:
