The point is to avoid a copy ;-) If the RHS is a value, this extends its lifetime.

That's not a "guess", it's confirmed by what ASAN tells us in its second backtrace. > And maybe statResult() shouldn't return a reference (or a const reference for that matter, because if the caller uses 'entry = job->statResult()' > then statResult() returning a const & doesn't make any difference if it's copied...). Well you get two copies then, one at "return" and one at '=' (technically that's an assignment, unless entry is actually declared on the same line). Anyhow the fix is clear, remove the & :-) REPOSITORY R241 KIO REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D28478 To: ahmadsamir, #frameworks, dfaure, meven, bruns Cc: kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, GB_2, michaelh, ngraham, bruns
