The main use of \c QLatin1Literal is in conjunction with \c QStringBuilder to reduce the number of reallocations needed to build up a string from smaller chunks. \sa QStringBuilder, QLatin1String, QString, QStringRef */ /*! \fn QLatin1Literal::QLatin1Literal(const char(&string)[]) Constructs a new literal from the given \a string. */ /*! \fn int QLatin1Literal::size() const Returns the number of characters in the literal \i{excluding} the trailing NUL char. */ /*! \fn char *QLatin1Literal::data() const Returns a pointer to the first character of the string literal. The string literal is terminated by a NUL character. */ /*! \fn QLatin1Literal::operator QString() const Converts the \c QLatin1Literal into a \c QString object. */ /*! \class QStringBuilder \reentrant \since 4.6 \brief QStringBuilder is a template class that provides a facility to build up QStrings from smaller chunks. \ingroup tools \ingroup shared \ingroup text \mainclass When creating strings from smaller chunks, typically \c QString::operator+() is used, resulting in \i{n - 1} reallocations when operating on \i{n} chunks. QStringBuilder uses expression templates to collect the individual parts, compute the total size, allocate memory for the resulting QString object, and copy the contents of the chunks into the result. The QStringBuilder class is not to be used explicitly in user code. Instances of the class are created as return values of the operator%() function, acting on objects of type \c QString, \c QLatin1String, \c QLatin1Literal, \c \QStringRef, \c QChar, \c QLatin1Char, and \c char. Concatenating strings with operator%() generally yields better performance then using \c QString::operator+() on the same chunks if there are three or more of them, and performs equally well in other cases. \sa QLatin1Literal, QString */ /* !fn template QStringBuilder operator%(const A &a, const B &b) Returns a \c QStringBuilder object that is converted to a QString object when assigned to a variable of QString type or passed to a function that takes a QString parameter. This function is usable with arguments of type \c QString, \c QLatin1String, \c QLatin1Literal, \c QStringRef, \c QChar, \c QLatin1Char, and \c char. */
