Read access violation creating a QDomElement the second time

I wrote a class to handle an XML file. The class loads the file on construction and will save it on destruction. While the class is active I have several getter and setter functions to change the values. One of them is a function to log some file renames. On each call, it will create a new child element for elem_renames.

void DataElementHandle::renamed(QString new_name, QString old_name)
{
    QDomElement elem_ren = xml_doc.createElement("renamed");
    QDomAttr att = xml_doc.createAttribute("time");
    att.setValue(QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString(Qt::ISODate));
    elem_ren.setAttributeNode(att);

    QDomText t = xml_doc.createTextNode(old_name + " -> " + new_name);
    elem_ren.appendChild(t);

    elem_renames.appendChild(elem_ren);
}

Problem: Now, I create the DataElementHandle class and call the rename function for every change to the files. But every second time I call the function my program crashes with this error message:

Exception thrown: read access violation. The error is thrown in the first line of the function.

I don't understand why this happens. I think I can not override the QDomElement because there is still a link to the element created at the first call. But how? It should be gone at the end of the function.

I use Qt 5.8 with Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Leak Detector.

The header file:

// Version
const quint32 version = 1;

// Doc file path
QString file_path;
bool load_file_ok;

// Doc
QDomDocument xml_doc;
QDomElement root;

// First root elements
QDomElement elem_renames;

If the XML file doesn't exist a new template is created like this and will be saved to file in the destructor.

xml_doc = QDomDocument("data_xml");
root = xml_doc.createElement("root");
root.setAttribute("version", QString::number(version));
xml_doc.appendChild(root);

elem_renames= xml_doc.createElement("renames");

root.appendChild(elem_renames);

Edit 1: I've set up a test project and there it works fine. I have to investigate the problem in more detail.

Solved! I'm so stupid. I had a setup like this. And I declared and initialized the pointer to the XML class in the for loop. And because I delete the old and create a new class in an if statement below, I initialized pointer in the if statement the first time but then deleted it on the second.

        path(file_path)

        xml_doc = QDomDocument("data_xml");
        root = xml_doc.createElement("root");
        root.setAttribute("version", QString::number(version));
        xml_doc.appendChild(root);

        elem_renames= xml_doc.createElement("renames");

        root.appendChild(elem_renames);
    }
    ~TestDomClass()
    {
        QFile file(path);
        if(!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text))
        {
            // TODO
            qDebug() << "Failed to open file for writing!";
        }
        else
        {
            QTextStream stream(&file);
            stream << xml_doc.toString();

        elem_ren.setAttributeNode(att);

        QDomText t = xml_doc.createTextNode(old_name + " -> " + new_name);
