If wew remove the codecs we kept and only use ICU, then QTextCodec will have negligible cost and could stay in QtCore. If it stays in QtCore, we still have a question whether QString::fromLocal8Bit shall assume it's UTF-8 on Unix systems. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
