yes, likely.
esp. invaildated stack/heap can be (not "are") shadowed by debug builds,
because the memory is (often) not garbaged so fast (less packed code, later
internal "free for use" because of trace requirements)
eg.
QString &string()
{
return QString("dummy");
}
if ( string().isEmpty() )
....
might work on debug builds w/o any problem ever, but might as well crash on
aggressively optimized builds reproducably (as the reference is invalid
immediately after the function exits, but _might_ stay "clean" for some more
time) ... in a way alos depending on the system load.
Tbf, this is a very obvious one and gcc will also warn you about ;-)
