Greetings all,
Is it possible to detect errors while encoding a QString from char*?
Here's the case: I get a string as a char* form an external library (on which I
don't have any control).
This string can use either UTF8 encoding, or "local8bit" encoding - thus may
vary from a user to the other.
What I basically need is to be table to write something like this:
char const* src = ...;
bool encoding_failed = false;
QString qs = QString::fromUtf8(src, &encoding_failed);
if ( encoding_failed )
{
qs = QString::fromLocal8Bit(src);
}
I looked at the docs for QString and QTextCodec, but I couldn't find any error
support.
Is there any (portable) way of achieving this?
Thanks in advance for any hint.
