Frameworks/QStringView porting cheat sheet

Revision as of 12:51, 30 November 2020 by Ahmad Samir (talk | contribs)

According to this upstream Git repo, QStringRef will be moved to a qt5combat 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.

Method Notes
QString arg(Args &&... args) const Since Qt5.14
int compare(QLatin1String l1, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) const Since Qt5.14
int compare(QChar ch) const Since Qt5.14
int compare(QChar ch, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs) const Since Qt5.14
bool contains(QChar c, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) const Since Qt5.14

qsizetype indexOf(QChar c, qsizetype from = 0, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) const Since Qt5.14
qsizetype indexOf(QStringView str, qsizetype from = 0, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) const Since Qt5.14
qsizetype indexOf(QLatin1String l1, qsizetype from = 0, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) const Since Qt5.14

qsizetype lastIndexOf(QLatin1String l1, qsizetype from = -1, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) const Since Qt5.14
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) 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 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()
