QStringRef provides a read-only subset of the QString API.
A string reference explicitly references a portion of a string() with a given size(), starting at a specific position(). Calling toString() returns a copy of the data as a real QString instance.
This class is designed to improve the performance of substring handling when manipulating substrings obtained from existing QString instances. QStringRef avoids the memory allocation and reference counting overhead of a standard QString by simply referencing a part of the original string. This can prove to be advantageous in low level code, such as that used in a parser, at the expense of potentially more complex code.
For most users, there are no semantic benefits to using QStringRef instead of QString since QStringRef requires attention to be paid to memory management issues, potentially making code more complex to write and maintain.
Warning: A QStringRef is only valid as long as the referenced string exists. If the original string is deleted, the string reference points to an invalid memory location.
We suggest that you only use this class in stable code where profiling has clearly identified that performance improvements can be made by replacing standard string operations with the optimized substring handling provided by this class.

This typedef was introduced in Qt 5.4.

Constructs a copy of the other string reference.
Constructs a string reference to the given string.
Constructs a string reference to the range of characters in the given string specified by the starting position and length in characters.
Warning: This function exists to improve performance as much as possible, and performs no bounds checking. For program correctness, position and length must describe a valid substring of string.
This means that the starting position must be positive or 0 and smaller than string's length, and length must be positive or 0 but smaller than the string's length minus the starting position; i.e, 0 <= position < string->length() and 0 <= length <= string->length() - position must both be satisfied.
Constructs an empty string reference.
Assigns the other string reference to this string reference, and returns the result.
Destroys the string reference.
Since this class is only used to refer to string data, and does not take ownership of it, no memory is freed when instances are destroyed.
Appends the string reference to string, and returns a new reference to the combined string data.
Returns the character at the given index position in the string reference.
The position must be a valid index position in the string (i.e., 0 <= position < size()).
Returns the last character in the string. Same as at(size() - 1).
This function is provided for STL compatibility.
Warning: Calling this function on an empty string constitutes undefined behavior.

Returns the string converted to a double value.

If ok is not nullptr, failure is reported by setting *ok to false, and success by setting *ok to true.
The string conversion will always happen in the 'C' locale. For locale dependent conversion use QLocale::toDouble()
For historic reasons, this function does not handle thousands group separators. If you need to convert such numbers, use QLocale::toDouble().

This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::toFloat().

If base is 0, the C language convention is used: If the string begins with "0x", base 16 is used; if the string begins with "0", base 8 is used; otherwise, base 10 is used.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.
See also toUtf8(), toLocal8Bit(), and QTextCodec.
Returns the local 8-bit representation of the string as a QByteArray. The returned byte array is undefined if the string contains characters not supported by the local 8-bit encoding.
QTextCodec::codecForLocale() is used to perform the conversion from Unicode. If the locale encoding could not be determined, this function does the same as toLatin1().
If this string contains any characters that cannot be encoded in the locale, the returned byte array is undefined. Those characters may be suppressed or replaced by another.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.
See also toLatin1(), toUtf8(), and QTextCodec.
Returns the string converted to a long using base base, which is 10 by default and must be between 2 and 36, or 0. Returns 0 if the conversion fails.
If ok is not nullptr, failure is reported by setting *ok to false, and success by setting *ok to true.
If base is 0, the C language convention is used: If the string begins with "0x", base 16 is used; if the string begins with "0", base 8 is used; otherwise, base 10 is used.
The string conversion will always happen in the 'C' locale. For locale dependent conversion use QLocale::toLong()
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::toLong().
Returns the string converted to a long long using base base, which is 10 by default and must be between 2 and 36, or 0. Returns 0 if the conversion fails.

If base is 0, the C language convention is used: If the string begins with "0x", base 16 is used; if the string begins with "0", base 8 is used; otherwise, base 10 is used.
The string conversion will always happen in the 'C' locale. For locale dependent conversion use QLocale::toLongLong()
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::toLongLong().
Returns the string converted to a short using base base, which is 10 by default and must be between 2 and 36, or 0. Returns 0 if the conversion fails.
If ok is not nullptr, failure is reported by setting *ok to false, and success by setting *ok to true.
If base is 0, the C language convention is used: If the string begins with "0x", base 16 is used; if the string begins with "0", base 8 is used; otherwise, base 10 is used.
The string conversion will always happen in the 'C' locale. For locale dependent conversion use QLocale::toShort()
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::toShort().
Returns a copy of the string reference as a QString object.
If the string reference is not a complete reference of the string (meaning that position() is 0 and size() equals string()->size()), this function will allocate a new string to return.
See also string().
Returns the string converted to an unsigned int using base base, which is 10 by default and must be between 2 and 36, or 0. Returns 0 if the conversion fails.
If ok is not nullptr, failure is reported by setting *ok to false, and success by setting *ok to true.
If base is 0, the C language convention is used: If the string begins with "0x", base 16 is used; if the string begins with "0", base 8 is used; otherwise, base 10 is used.
The string conversion will always happen in the 'C' locale. For locale dependent conversion use QLocale::toUInt()
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::toUInt().

This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::toUShort().
Returns a UCS-4/UTF-32 representation of the string as a QVector<uint>.
UCS-4 is a Unicode codec and therefore it is lossless. All characters from this string will be encoded in UCS-4. Any invalid sequence of code units in this string is replaced by the Unicode's replacement character (QChar::ReplacementCharacter, which corresponds to U+FFFD).
The returned vector is not \0'-terminated.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.
See also toUtf8(), toLatin1(), toLocal8Bit(), and QTextCodec.
Returns a UTF-8 representation of the string as a QByteArray.
UTF-8 is a Unicode codec and can represent all characters in a Unicode string like QString.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.
See also toLatin1(), toLocal8Bit(), and QTextCodec.
Returns a string that has whitespace removed from the start and the end.
Whitespace means any character for which QChar::isSpace() returns true. This includes the ASCII characters '\t', '\n', '\v', '\f', '\r', and ' '.
Unlike QString::simplified(), trimmed() leaves internal whitespace alone.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
See also QString::trimmed().
Truncates the string at the given position index.
If the specified position index is beyond the end of the string, nothing happens.
If position is negative, it is equivalent to passing zero.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.
See also QString::truncate().
Returns a Unicode representation of the string reference. Since the data stems directly from the referenced string, it is not \0'-terminated unless the string reference includes the string's null terminator.
See also string().
This function overloads operator!=().
The s const char pointer is converted to a QStringRef using the fromUtf8() function.
You can disable this operator by defining QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII when you compile your applications. This can be useful if you want to ensure that all user-visible strings go through QObject::tr(), for example.
Returns true if this string is not lexically equal to the parameter string s. Otherwise returns false.
See also QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII.
This function overloads operator<().
