Detailed Description

Many of QString's member functions are overloaded to accept const char * instead of QString. This includes the copy constructor, the assignment operator, the comparison operators, and various other functions such as insert(), replace(), and indexOf(). These functions are usually optimized to avoid constructing a QString object for the const char * data. For example, assuming str is a QString,

if (str == "auto" || str == "extern"
        || str == "static" || str == "register") {
    ...
}

is much faster than

if (str == QString("auto") || str == QString("extern")
        || str == QString("static") || str == QString("register")) {
    ...
}

because it doesn't construct four temporary QString objects and make a deep copy of the character data.

Applications that define QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII (as explained in the QString documentation) don't have access to QString's const char * API. To provide an efficient way of specifying constant Latin-1 strings, Qt provides the QLatin1String, which is just a very thin wrapper around a const char *. Using QLatin1String, the example code above becomes

if (str == QLatin1String("auto")
        || str == QLatin1String("extern")
        || str == QLatin1String("static")
        || str == QLatin1String("register") {
    ...
}

This is a bit longer to type, but it provides exactly the same benefits as the first version of the code, and is faster than converting the Latin-1 strings using QString::fromLatin1().

Thanks to the QString(QLatin1String) constructor, QLatin1String can be used everywhere a QString is expected. For example:

QLabel *label = new QLabel(QLatin1String("MOD"), this);

Note: If the function you're calling with a QLatin1String argument isn't actually overloaded to take QLatin1String, the implicit conversion to QString will trigger a memory allocation, which is usually what you want to avoid by using QLatin1String in the first place. In those cases, using QStringLiteral may be the better option.

Member Function Documentation

template <typename Needle, typename Flags> decltype(qTokenize(*this, std::forward<Needle>(needle), flags...)) QLatin1String::tokenize(Needle &&sep, Flags... flags) const

Splits the string into substring views wherever sep occurs, and returns a lazy sequence of those strings.

Equivalent to

return QStringTokenizer{std::forward<Needle>(sep), flags...};

except it works without C++17 Class Template Argument Deduction (CTAD) enabled in the compiler.

See QStringTokenizer for how sep and flags interact to form the result.

Note: While this function returns QStringTokenizer, you should never, ever, name its template arguments explicitly. If you can use C++17 Class Template Argument Deduction (CTAD), you may write

QStringTokenizer result = sv.tokenize(sep);

(without template arguments). If you can't use C++17 CTAD, you must store the return value only in auto variables:

auto result = sv.tokenize(sep);

This is because the template arguments of QStringTokenizer have a very subtle dependency on the specific tokenize() overload from which they are returned, and they don't usually correspond to the type used for the separator.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.0.

See also QStringTokenizer and qTokenize().

template <typename Args> QString QLatin1String::arg(Args &&... args) const

Replaces occurrences of %N in this string with the corresponding argument from args. The arguments are not positional: the first of the args replaces the %N with the lowest N (all of them), the second of the args the %N with the next-lowest N etc.

Args can consist of anything that implicitly converts to QString, QStringView or QLatin1String.

In addition, the following types are also supported: QChar, QLatin1Char.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

See also QString::arg().

Returns the index position of the last occurrence of the string-view str, Latin-1 string l1, or character ch, respectively, in this Latin-1 string, searching backward from index position from. Returns -1 if str is not found.

If from is -1 (default), the search starts at the last character; if from is -2, at the next to last character and so on.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (default), the search is case sensitive; otherwise the search is case insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

See also indexOf(), QStringView::lastIndexOf(), QStringView::indexOf(), and QString::indexOf().

Returns true if this Latin-1 string contains an occurrence of the string-view str, Latin-1 string l1, or character ch; otherwise returns false.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

See also indexOf(), QStringView::contains(), QStringView::indexOf(), and QString::indexOf().

Returns the index position of the first occurrence of the string-view str, Latin-1 string l1, or character ch, respectively, in this Latin-1 string, searching forward from index position from. Returns -1 if str is not found.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (default), the search is case sensitive; otherwise the search is case insensitive.

If from is -1, the search starts at the last character; if it is -2, at the next to last character and so on.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

See also QString::indexOf().

Returns true if this Latin-1 string ends with string-view str, Latin-1 string l1, or character ch, respectively; otherwise returns false.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.

See also startsWith().

Returns true if this Latin-1 string starts with string-view str, Latin-1 string l1, or character ch, respectively; otherwise returns false.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.

See also endsWith().

Returns an integer that compares to zero as this Latin-1 string compares to the string-view str, Latin-1 string l1, or character ch, respectively.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the comparison is case sensitive; otherwise the comparison is case-insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

QLatin1String::QLatin1String(const QByteArray &str)

bool QLatin1String::operator>=(const char *other) const

Returns true if this string is lexically greater than or equal to const char pointer other; otherwise returns false.

The other const char pointer is converted to a QString using the QString::fromUtf8() function.

You can disable this operator by defining QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII when you compile your applications. This can be useful if you want to ensure that all user-visible strings go through QObject::tr(), for example.
