Hi, With every Qt release we see how the new release improved over previous releases in terms of speed, memory consumption, etc.
Any chance of having UTF-8 storage support for QString? UTF-8 is native on Linux and other *NIX platforms, Qt programs should use less memory, and perform better by reading less bytes from memory. Did anybody try this? I've heard that Qt Creator is storing sources files both in UTF-8 format for libclang, and UTF16 for its internal usage. That sounds like a bit wasteful. KDE Plasma could then better compare / compete with the other Linux desktop environments which use UTF-8 for strings. I guess I could use CopperSpice to test this, since they added CsString with both QString8 (UTF-8) and QString16 (UTF-16) supported. https://utf8everywhere.org/ states *"UTF-16 is the worst of both worlds, being both variable length and too wide"* Cheers, Cristian.
