No, that's not going to happen because templates are not magic. It would mean increasing the size of the library so we support both types of string formatting. That's also why we don't have arg() today in QByteArray. The new std::format-like API that is being developed will likely be QString only too. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
