qt加载第三方dll,来自第三方DLL的Qt中的调用函数在调试模式下工作，在发行时崩溃...

I use a third-party DLL (FTD2xx) to communicate with an external device. Using Qt4, in debug mode everything works fine, but the release crashes silently after successfully completing a called function. It seems to crash at return, but if I write something to the console (with qDebug) at the end of the function, sometimes it does not crash there, but a few, or few dozen lines later.

I suspect a not properly cleaned stack, what the debug build can survive, but the release chokes on it. Did someone encounter a similar problem? The DLL itself cannot be changed, as the source is not available.

It seems the reduction of the optimization level was the only way around. The DLL itself might have problems, as a program which does nothing but calls a single function from that DLL crashes the same way if optimization is turned on.

Fortunately, the size and speed lost by the change in optimization level is negligible.

Edit: for anyone with similar problems on Qt 5.0 or higher: If you change the optimization level (for example, to QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = -O0), it's usually not enough to just rebuild the application. A full "clean all" is required.
