<hr><h2><a name="details"></a>Detailed Description</h2>
The QCString class provides an abstraction of the classic C zero-terminated char array (<var>char*</var>).
<p>
QCString inherits <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>, which is defined as <a href="qarray.html">QArray</a>&lt;char&gt;.
<p>Since QCString is a QArray, it uses <em>explicit</em>
<a href="shclass.html">sharing</a> with a reference count.
<p>You might use QCString for text that is never exposed to the user,
but for text the user sees, you should use <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> (which provides
implicit sharing, Unicode and other internationalization support).
<p>Note that QCString is one of the weaker classes in Qt; its design is
flawed (it tries to behave like a more convenient const char *) and
as a result, algorithms that use QCString heavily all too often
perform badly.  For example, <a href="#45ce01">append</a>() is O(<a href="#5a756d">length</a>()) since it scans
for a null terminator, which makes many algorithms that use QCString
scale even worse.
<p>Note that for the QCString methods that take a <var>const char *</var>
parameter the results are undefined if the QCString is not
zero-terminated.  It is legal for the <var>const char *</var> parameter
to be 0.
<p>A QCString that has not been assigned to anything is <em>null,</em> i.e. both
the length and data pointer is 0. A QCString that references the empty
string ("", a single '\0' char) is <em>empty.</em>  Both null and empty
QCStrings are legal parameters to the methods. Assigning <var>const char
* 0</var> to QCString gives a null QCString.

<p>See also  <a href="#a8274d">isNull</a>().
<h3 class="fn"><a name="b6f493"></a>QCString::QCString(constchar*str, uintmaxsize)</h3>
<p>Constructs a string that is a deep copy of <em>str,</em> that is no more
than <em>maxsize</em> bytes long including the '\0'-terminator.
<p>Example:

returns a reference to the string.
<h3 class="fn">QCString&amp;<a name="b4948b"></a>QCString::setNum(ushort<a href="n.html">n</a>)</h3>
<p>Sets the string to the printed unsigned value of <em><a href="n.html">n</a></em> and returns a
reference to the string.
<h3 class="fn">QCString&amp;<a name="e7cb03"></a>QCString::setStr(constchar*str)</h3>
<p>Makes a deep copy of <em>str.</em>
Returns a reference to the string.
<h3 class="fn">QCString<a name="656340"></a>QCString::simplifyWhiteSpace()const</h3>
<p>Returns a new string that has white space removed from the start and the end,
plus any sequence of internal white space replaced with a single space
(ASCII 32).
<p>White space means any ASCII code 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 32.
<p><pre>    <a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a> s = "  lots\t of\nwhite    space ";
    <a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a> t = s.<a href="#656340">simplifyWhiteSpace</a>();                // t == "lots of white space"
</pre>
<p>See also  <a href="#ed0533">stripWhiteSpace</a>().
<h3 class="fn">QCString&amp;<a name="b6eb85"></a>QCString::sprintf(constchar*format, ...)</h3>
<p>Implemented as a call to the native vsprintf() (see your C-library
manual).
<p>If your string is shorter than 256 characters, this sprintf() calls
<a href="#8daa86">resize</a>(256) to decrease the chance of memory corruption.  The string is
resized back to its natural length before sprintf() returns.
<p>Example:
<pre>    <a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a> s;
    s.<a href="#b6eb85">sprintf</a>( "%d - %s", 1, "first" );         // result &lt; 256 chars

    <a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a> big( 25000 );                      // very long string
    big.<a href="#b6eb85">sprintf</a>( "%d - %s", 2, longString );    // result &lt; 25000 chars
</pre>
<p><b>Warning:</b> All vsprintf() implementations will write past the end of
the target string (*this) if the format specification and arguments
happen to be longer than the target string, and some will also fail
if the target string is longer than some arbitrary implementation
limit.
<p>Giving user-supplied arguments to sprintf() is begging for trouble.
Sooner or later someone <em>will</em> paste a 3000-character line into
your application.
<h3 class="fn">QCString<a name="ed0533"></a>QCString::stripWhiteSpace()const</h3>
