Hi!
In connection to a support case I have been working on it was brought to my
attention that there may be some problems that are connected to using qstricmp
and other functions that are expecting latin1 strings for one reason or
another. The reason that this might be a problem is because we are encoding our
source code as UTF-8 and there is a theoretical problem that due to this that
we are not protecting the strings correctly to ensure that they are treated as
latin1 when we explicitly write them internally. It could be that reality is
that this will never be a problem, and if that is the case then please give me
the background on that so I can pass this on too.
For user code I get that we can just say that they should do something like:
qstricmp(str, QLatin1String("a").latin1());
and that would be ensuring it is correctly seen as a latin1 encoded string. If
this is how it should be done, then shouldn’t we change our usage of it in the
Qt code as well to do the same thing? Or am I missing something?
Kind Regards,
Andy
