If you want a full stop, you can use qFatal() or even directly call 
abort().

That will cause a coredump of your application if your operating system 
supports such a feature (and the coredump limit is larger than 0). A core 
file will allow you to do post-mortem debugging and and may help you find 
out exactly what went wrong.
