QString, QByteArray, QList, aso often use sign integers to store sizes, indexing, aso. This often leads to signed/unsigned mismatches and is not really according standard practice. Also, this restricts the indexes, sizes, aso to 32-bit. One solution to resolve the signed/unsigned mismatch is to cast the types to the appropriate type, but this can be dangerous, and hides the real problem.
A better approach would be to use std::size_t. My proposal is to replace all int types with size_t where appropriate. I realise that this has a major impact on compatibility, but it is certainly something that should be considered. A solution to the compatibility problem could be to duplicate the methods and mark the old ones as obsolete.
