Hello, i have reported last year on the tracker a strange behaviour with this function : https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-23139.
in fact a string empty is also null. For exemple : #include <QCoreApplication> #include <QTextCodec> #include <QDebug> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QCoreApplication a(argc, argv); QTextCodec *_code = QTextCodec::codecForName(QString(QLatin1String("Windows-1252")).toLocal8Bit()); QString _t = _code->toUnicode(""); qWarning() << "codec toUnicode" << _t.isEmpty() << _t.isNull(); // return true and true; bad _t = QString::fromUtf8(""); qWarning() << "fromUtf8" << _t.isEmpty() << _t.isNull(); // return true and false; good return a.exec(); } it causes problems with database driver because when a QString is empty the driver database can put null into the database. as i say in the bug tracker the problem seems to be in qsimplecodec.cpp in the function convertToUnicode. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
