Hi,
is there any documentation, blog post, wiki page, other source or guideline
about usage of string literals in autotests?
More specifically:
The line
QString ("I love QLatin1StringView");
...triggers 'QString' is deprecated: Use fromUtf8, QStringLiteral, or
QLatin1StringView. QString has been explicitly marked deprecated here'
in qwindow.cpp, but not in tst_qwindow.cpp.
In gui autotests, only tst_QStandardItemModel uses the _L1 macro, in widgets
only tst_QComboBox. "using namespace Qt::StringLiterals" can be found at the
beginning of a test class, as well as at the beginning of a test function.
>From what I see, most test functions actually construct QString with a const
>char*. Some use QStringLiteral locally, others use QLatin1StringView.
Since _L1 usage is massive in corelib, I wonder whether there is a standard
that everyone can apply when writing or reviewing autotests. If it exists and I
have overlooked it, please forgive my negligence and point me to it.
*
What is the recommended way to construct a string in autotests?
*
Where to place "using namespace"?
*
Shall string constructions be fixed as a drive-by?
IMHO, clarifying these questions generally helps and expedites code reviews.

as a recent example.
Thanks, kind regards and happy Easter
