+1. And from the snippet above, is that a minified example form the code? Because otherwise, it is a very bad thing to do. There is *no* reason to ever do: QString("%1").arg(foo); Do you want to stringify a number? Use QString::number. Do you want to assign another string? Assign it directly. Want to convert a bytearray or const char? Use the explicit conversion functions. > Here are my notes about why global static objects are bad: See also: http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2011/08/static-initializers.html -- Milian Wolff m...@milianw.de http://milianw.de _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
