Frameworks/QStringView porting cheat sheet

Revision as of 13:00, 30 November 2020 by Ahmad Samir (talk | contribs)

According to this upstream Git repo, QStringRef will be moved to a qt5compat module in Qt6, which means KDE code needs to be ported away from it. The candidate replacement is QStringView. Since the latter's API is apparently still being modified upstream, not all methods are available in Qt 5.13 (which is the version that KDE Frameworks require at the time of writing this), this is a "cheat sheet" of sorts, listing all the QStringView methods that aren't available in Qt 5.13, or that have a different behaviour than the QString counterpart.

See the relevant discussion in https://phabricator.kde.org/T13913 (some of those methods introduced in Qt 5.15 as porting aid may be slow/ugly).

QStringView left(qsizetype length) const Until 5.15.1, the behavior was undefined when length < 0 or length > size(). Since 5.15.2, the behavior is compatible with QString::left().

QStringView mid(qsizetype start, qsizetype length) const Until 5.15.1, the behavior was undefined when start < 0 or start > size(). Since 5.15.2, the behavior is compatible with QString::mid()
QStringView right(qsizetype length) const Until 5.15.1, the behavior was undefined when length < 0 or length > size(). Since 5.15.2, the behavior is compatible with QString::right()
