    \brief The QCharRef class is a helper class for QString.

    \internal

    \ingroup text

    When you get an object of type QCharRef, if you can assign to it,
    the assignment will apply to the character in the string from
    which you got the reference. That is its whole purpose in life.
    The QCharRef becomes invalid once modifications are made to the
    string: if you want to keep the character, copy it into a QChar.

    Most of the QChar member functions also exist in QCharRef.
    However, they are not explicitly documented here.

    \class QString
    \reentrant

    \brief The QString class provides a Unicode character string.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup text
    \mainclass
    \reentrant

    QString stores a string of 16-bit \l{QChar}s, where each QChar
    stores one Unicode character. \l{Unicode} is an international
    standard that supports most of the writing systems in use today.
    It is a superset of ASCII and Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1), and all the
    ASCII/Latin-1 characters are available at the same code
    positions.

    Behind the scenes, QString uses \l{implicit sharing}
    (copy-on-write) to reduce memory usage and to avoid the needless
    copying of data. This also helps reduce the inherent overhead of
    storing 16-bit characters instead of 8-bit characters.

    In addition to QString, Qt also provides the QByteArray class to
    store raw bytes and traditional 8-bit '\\0'-terminated strings.
    For most purposes, QString is the class you want to use. It is
    used throughout the Qt API, and the Unicode support ensures that
    your applications will be easy to translate if you want to expand
    your application's market at some point. The two main cases where
    QByteArray is appropriate are when you need to store raw binary
    data, and when memory conservation is critical (e.g. with
    Qt/Embedded).

    One way to initialize a QString is simply to pass a \c{const char
    *} to its constructor. For example, the following code creates a
    QString of size 5 containing the data "Hello":

    \code
        QString str = "Hello";
    \endcode

    QString converts the \c{const char *} data into Unicode using
    fromAscii(). By default, fromAscii() treats character above 128
    as Latin-1 characters, but this can be changed by calling
    QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings().

    In all of the QString methods that take \c{const char *}
    parameters, the \c{const char *} is interpreted as a classic
    C-style '\\0'-terminated string. It is legal for the \c{const
    char *} parameter to be 0.

    You can also provide string data as an array of \l{QChar}s:

    \code
        static const QChar data[4] = { 0x0055, 0x006e, 0x10e3, 0x03a3 };
        QString str(data, 4);
    \endcode

    QString makes a deep copy of the QChar data, so you can modify it
    later without experiencing side effects. (If for performance
    reasons you don't want to take a deep copy of the character data,
    use QString::fromRawData() instead.)

    Another approach is to set the size of the string using resize()
    and to initialize the data character per character. QString uses
    0-based indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the character at
    a particular index position, you can use operator[](). On
    non-const strings, operator[]() returns a reference to a
    character that can be used on the left side of an assignment. For
    example:

    \code
        QString str;
        str.resize(4);
        str[0] = QChar('U');
        str[1] = QChar('n');
        str[2] = QChar(0x10e3);
        str[3] = QChar(0x03a3);
    \endcode

    For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use at():

    \code
        for (int i = 0; i < str.size(); ++i) {
            if (str.at(i) >= QChar('a') && str.at(i) <= QChar('f'))
                cout << "Found character in range [a-f]" << endl;
        }
    \endcode

    at() can be faster than operator[](), because it never causes a
    \l{deep copy} to occur.

    To extract several characters at a time, use left(), right(), or
    mid().

    A QString can embed '\\0' characters (QChar::null). The size()
    function always returns the size of the whole string, including
    embedded '\\0' bytes.

    After a call to resize(), newly allocated characters have
    undefined values. To set all the characters in the string to a
    particular value, call fill().

    QString provides dozens of overloads designed to simplify string
    usage. For example, if you want to compare a QString with a string
    literal, you can write code like this and it will work as expected:

    \code
        if (str == "auto" || str == "extern"
                || str == "static" || str == "register") {
            ...
        }
    \endcode

    You can also pass string literals to functions that take QStrings
    and the QString(const char *) constructor will be invoked.
    Similarly, you can pass a QString to a function that takes a
    \c{const char *} and \l{operator const char *()} will be invoked.

    QString provides the following basic functions for modifying the
    character data: append(), prepend(), insert(), replace(), and
    remove(). For example:

    \code
        QString str = "and";
        str.prepend("rock ");           // str == "rock and"
        str.append(" roll");            // str == "rock and roll"
        str.replace(5, 3, "&");         // str == "rock & roll"
    \endcode

    The replace() and remove() functions' first two arguments are the
    position from which to start erasing and the number of characters
    that should be erased.

    A frequent requirement is to remove whitespace characters from a
    string ('\\n', '\\t', ' ', etc.). If you want to remove whitespace
    from both ends of a QString, use trimmed(). If you want to remove
    whitespace from both ends and replace multiple consecutive
    whitespaces with a single space character within the string, use
    simplified().

    If you want to find all occurrences of a particular character or
    substring in a QString, use indexOf() or lastIndexOf(). The
    former searches forward starting from a given index position, the
    latter searches backward. Both return the index position of the
    character or substring if they find it; otherwise, they return -1.
    For example, here's a typical loop that finds all occurrences of a
    particular substring:

    \code
        QString str = "We must be <b>bold</b>, very <b>bold</b>";
        int j = 0;
        while ((j = str.indexOf("<b>", j)) != -1) {
            cout << "Found <b> tag at index position " << j << endl;
            ++j;
        }
    \endcode

    If you want to see if a QString starts or ends with a particular
    substring use startsWith() or endsWith(). If you simply want to
    check whether a QString contains a particular character or
    substring, use contains(). If you want to find out how many times
    a particular character or substring occurs in the string, use
    count().

    QString provides many functions for converting numbers into
    strings and strings into numbers. See the arg() functions, the
    setNum() functions, the number() static functions, and the
    toInt(), toDouble(), and similar functions.

    To get an upper or lower case version of a string use toUpper() or
    toLower().

    If you want to replace all occurrences of a particular substring
    with another, use one of the two-parameter replace() overloads.

    QStrings can be compared using overloaded operators such as
    operator<(), operator<=(), operator==(), operator>=(), and so on.

    Lists of strings are handled by the QStringList class. You can
    split a string into a list of strings using split(), and join a
    list of strings into a single string with an optional separator
    using QStringList::join(). You can obtain a list of strings from
    a string list that contain a particular substring or that match a
    particular QRegExp using QStringList::find().

    If you are building a QString gradually and know in advance
    approximately how many characters the QString will contain, you
    can call reserve(), asking QString to preallocate a certain amount
    of memory. You can also call capacity() to find out how much
    memory QString actually allocated.

    To obtain a pointer to the actual character data, call data() or
    constData(). These functions return a pointer to the beginning of
    the QChar data. The pointer is guaranteed to remain valid until a
    non-const function is called on the QString.

    \section1 Conversions between 8-bit strings and Unicode strings

    QString provides the following four functions that return a
    \c{const char *} version of the string: ascii(), latin1(),
    utf8(), and local8Bit().

    \list
    \i ascii() returns an ASCII encoded 8-bit string.
    \i latin1() returns a Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) encoded 8-bit string.
    \i utf8() returns a UTF-8 encoded 8-bit string. UTF-8 is a
       superset of ASCII that supports the entire Unicode character
       set through multibyte sequences.
    \i local8Bit() returns an 8-bit string using the system's local
       encoding.
    \endlist

    To convert from one of these encodings, QString provides
    fromAscii(), fromLatin1(), fromUtf8(), and fromLocal8Bit(). Other
    encodings are supported through QTextCodec.

    As mentioned above, QString provides a lot of functions and
    operators that make it easy to interoperate with \c{const char *}
    strings. This functionaly is a two-edged sword: It makes QString
    more convenient to use if all strings are ASCII or Latin-1, but
    there is always the risk that an implicit conversion from or to
    \c{const char *} is done using the wrong 8-bit encoding. To
    minimize these risks, you can turn off these implicit conversions
    by defining these two preprocessor symbols:

    \list
    \i \c QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII disables automatic conversions from
       ASCII to Unicode.
    \i \c QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII disables automatic conversion from QString
       to ASCII.
    \endlist

    One way to define these prepocessor symbols globally for your
    application is to add the following entry to your \l qmake .pro
    file:

    \code
        DEFINES += QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII \
                   QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII
    \endcode

    You then need to explicitly call fromAscii(), fromLatin1(),
    fromUtf8(), or fromLocal8Bit() to construct a QString from an
    8-bit string, or use the lightweight QLatin1String class, for
    example:

    \code
        QString url = QLatin1String("http://www.unicode.org/");
    \endcode

    Similarly, you must call ascii(), latin1(), utf8(), or
    local8Bit() explicitly to convert the QString to an 8-bit string.
    (Other encodings are supported through QTextCodec.)

    \section1 Note for C programmers

    Due to C++'s type system and the fact that QString is
    \l{implicitly shared}, QStrings may be treated like \c{int}s or
    other basic types. For example:

    \code
    QString boolToString(bool b)
    {
        QString result;
        if (b)
            result = "True";
        else
            result = "False";
        return result;
    }
    \endcode

    The variable, result, is a normal variable allocated on the
    stack. When return is called, because we're returning by value,
    The copy constructor is called and a copy of the string is
    returned. (No actual copying takes place thanks to the implicit
    sharing.)

    \section1 Distinction between null and empty strings

    For historical reasons, QString distinguishes between a null
    string and an empty string. A \e null string is a string that is
    initialized using QString's default constructor or by passing
    (const char *)0 to the constructor. An \e empty string is any
    string with size 0. A null string is always empty, but an empty
    string isn't necessarily null:

    \code
        QString().isNull();             // returns true
        QString().isEmpty();            // returns true

        QString("").isNull();           // returns false
        QString("").isEmpty();          // returns true

        QString("abc").isNull();        // returns false
        QString("abc").isEmpty();       // returns false
    \endcode

    All functions except isNull() treat null strings the same as
    empty strings. For example, ascii() returns a pointer to a '\\0'
    character for a null string (\e not a null pointer), and
    QString() compares equal to QString(""). We recommend that you
    always use isEmpty() and avoid isNull().

/*!
    \fn void QString::reserve(int size)

    Attempts to allocate memory for at least \a size characters. If
    you know in advance how large the string will be, you can call
    this function, and if you resize the string often you are likely
    to get better performance. If \a size is an underestimate, the
    worst that will happen is that the QString will be a bit slower.

    The sole purpose of this function is to provide a means of fine
    tuning QString's memory usage. In general, you will rarely ever
    need to call this function. If you want to change the size of the
    string, call resize().

    This function is useful for code that needs to build up a long
    string and wants to avoid repeated reallocation. In this example,
    we want to add to the string until some condition is true, and
    we're fairly sure that size is large enough to make a call to
    reserve() worthwhile:

    \code
        QString result;
        int len = 0;
        result.reserve(maxSize);
        while (...) {
            result[len++] = getNextChar(); // fill part of the space
        }
        result.squeeze();

    This function returns a section of the string.

    This string is treated as a sequence of fields separated by the
    character, \a sep. The returned string consists of the fields from
    position \a start to position \a end inclusive. If \a end is not
    specified, all fields from position \a start to the end of the
    string are included. Fields are numbered 0, 1, 2, etc., counting
    from the left, and -1, -2, etc., counting from right to left.

    The \a flags argument can be used to affect some aspects of the
    function's behavior, e.g. whether to be case sensitive, whether
    to skip empty fields and how to deal with leading and trailing
    separators; see \l{SectionFlags}.

    \code
        QString csv = "forename,middlename,surname,phone";
        QString str = csv.section(',', 2, 2);   // str == "surname"

        QString str = path.section('/', 3, 3, SectionSkipEmpty); // str == "myapp"
    \endcode

    If \a start or \a end is negative, we count fields from the right
    of the string, the right-most field being -1, the one from
    right-most field being -2, and so on.

    \code

#ifndef QT_NO_SPRINTF
/*!
    Safely builds a formatted string from the format string \a cformat
    and an arbitrary list of arguments.

    The %lc escape sequence expects a unicode character of type ushort
    (as returned by QChar::unicode()). The %ls escape sequence expects
    a pointer to a zero-terminated array of unicode characters of type
    ushort (as returned by QString::utf16()).

    The format string supports most of the conversion specifiers
    provided by printf() in the standard C++ library. It doesn't
    honor the length modifiers (e.g. \c h for \c short, \c ll for
    \c{long long}). If you need those, use the standard sprintf()
    function instead:

    \code
        char buf[BufSize];
        ::sprintf(buf, "%lld", 123456789LL);
        QString str = QString::fromAscii(buf);
    \endcode

    \warning We do not recommend using QString::sprintf() in new Qt
    code. Instead, consider using QTextOStream or arg(), both of
    which support Unicode strings seamlessly and are type-safe.
    Here's an example that uses QTextOStream:

    \code
        QString result;
        QTextOStream(&result) << "pi = " << 3.14;
        // result == "pi = 3.14"
    \endcode

    For \link QObject::tr() translations,\endlink especially if the
    strings contains more than one escape sequence, you should
    consider using the arg() function instead. This allows the order
    of the replacements to be controlled by the translator.

    Splits the string into substrings wherever the regular expression
    \a rx matches, and returns the list of those strings. If \a rx
    does not match anywhere in the string, split() returns a
    single-element list containing this string.

    Here's an example where we extract the words in a sentence
    using one or more whitespace characters as the separator:

    \code
        QString str = "Some  text\n\twith  strange whitespace.";
        QStringList list = str.split(QRegExp("\\s+"));
        // list: [ "Some", "text", "with", "strange", "whitespace." ]
    \endcode

    Here's a similar example, but this time we use any sequence of
    non-word characters as the separator:

    \code
        QString str = "This time, a normal English sentence.";
        QStringList list = str.split(QRegExp("\\W+"));
        // list: [ "This", "time", "a", "normal", "English", "sentence", "" ]
    \endcode

    (If you want to discard empty entries, call
    QStringList::remove(QString()) on the result.)

    Here's a third example where we use a zero-length assertion,
    \bold{\\b} (word boundary), to split the string into an
    alternating sequence of non-word and word tokens:

    \code
        QString str = "Now: this sentence fragment.";
        QStringList list = str.split(QRegExp("\\b"));
        // list: [ "", "Now", ": ", "this", " ", "sentence", " ", "fragment", "." ]

/*!
    This function returns a copy of this string where \a a replaces
    the lowest numbered occurrence of \c %1, \c %2, ..., \c %9.

    The \a fieldWidth value specifies the minimum amount of space that
    \a a is padded to and filled with the character \a fillChar. A
    positive value will produce right-aligned text, whereas a negative
    value will produce left-aligned text.

    The following example shows how we could create a 'status' string
    when processing a list of files:

    \code
        QString status = QString("Processing file %1 of %2: %3")
                            .arg(i)         // current file's number
                            .arg(total)     // number of files to process
                            .arg(fileName); // current file's name
    \endcode

    It is generally fine to use file names and numbers as we have
    done in the example above. But note that using arg() to construct
    natural language sentences does not usually translate well into
    other languages because sentence structure and word order often
    differ between languages.

    If there is no place marker (\c %1, \c %2, etc.), a warning
    message is output and the result is undefined.

/*!
    Constructs a QString that uses the first \a size Unicode
    characters in the array \a unicode. The data in \a unicode is \e
    not copied. The caller must be able to guarantee that \a unicode
    will not be deleted or modified as long as the QString (or an
    unmodified copy of it) exists.

    Any attempts to modify the QString or copies of it will cause it
    to create a deep copy of the data, ensuring that the raw data
    isn't modified.

    Here's an example of how we can use a QRegExp on raw data in
    memory without requiring to copy the data into a QString:

    \code
        static const QChar unicode[] = {
            0x005A, 0x007F, 0x00A4, 0x0060, 0x1009, 0x0020,
            ...
            0x0020
        };
        int size = sizeof(unicode) / sizeof(QChar);

        QString str = QString::fromRawData(unicode, size);
        if (str.contains(QRegExp(pattern)))
        ...
    \endcode

    \warning A string created with fromRawData() is \e not
    '\\0'-terminated, unless the raw data contains a '\\0' character
    at position \a size. This means unicode() will \e not return a
    '\\0'-terminated string (although utf16() does, at the cost of
    copying the raw data).

    \sa fromUtf16()
*/
QString QString::fromRawData(const QChar *unicode, int size)
{
    Data *x = static_cast<Data *>(qMalloc(sizeof(Data)));
    if (unicode) {
        x->data = (ushort *)unicode;
    } else {
        x->data = x->array;
        size = 0;
    }
    x->ref = 1;
    x->alloc = x->size = size;
    x->c = 0;
    *x->array = '\0';
    x->clean = x->encoding = x->cache = x->simpletext = x->righttoleft = 0;

}

/*! \class QLatin1String
    \brief The QLatin1String class provides a thin wrapper around an ASCII/Latin-1 encoded string literal.

    \ingroup text
    \reentrant

    Many of QString's member functions are overloaded to accept
    \c{const char *} instead of QString. This includes the copy
    constructor, the assignment operator, the comparison operators,
    and various other functions such as \link QString::insert()
    insert() \endlink, \link QString::replace() replace()\endlink,
    and \link QString::indexOf() indexOf()\endlink. These functions
    are usually optimized to avoid constructing a QString object for
    the \c{const char *} data. For example, assuming \c str is a
    QString,

    \code
        if (str == "auto" || str == "extern"
                || str == "static" || str == "register") {
            ...
        }
    \endcode

    is much faster than

    \code
        if (str == QString("auto") || str == QString("extern")
                || str == QString("static") || str == QString("register")) {
            ...
        }
    \endcode

    because it doesn't construct four temporary QString objects and
    make a deep copy of the character data.

    Applications that define \c QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII (as explained
    in the QString documentation) don't have access to QString's
    \c{const char *} API. To provide an efficient way of specifying
    constant Latin-1 strings, Qt provides the QLatin1String, which is
    just a very thin wrapper around a \c{const char *}. Using
    QLatin1String, the example code above becomes

    \code
        if (str == QLatin1String("auto")
                || str == QLatin1String("extern")
                || str == QLatin1String("static")
                || str == QLatin1String("register") {
            ...
        }
    \endcode

    This is a bit longer to type, but it provides exactly the same
    benefits as the first version of the code, and is faster than
    converting the Latin-1 strings using QString::fromLatin1().

    Thanks to the QString(const QLatin1String &) constructor,
    QLatin1String can be used everywhere a QString is expected. For example:

    \code
        QLabel *label = new QLabel(QLatin1String("MOD"), this);
    \endcode
