I checked the sources and it turned out that they are equivalent
except on Mac, as shown from this excerpt from qfile.cpp:
static QByteArray locale_encode(const QString &f)
{
#ifndef Q_OS_DARWIN
return f.toLocal8Bit();
#else
// Mac always expects UTF-8
return f.toUtf8();
#endif
}
...
void
QFile::setEncodingFunction(EncoderFn f)
{
if (!f)
f = locale_encode;
QFilePrivate::encoder = f;
}
...
QByteArray
QFile::encodeName(const QString &fileName)
{
return (*QFilePrivate::encoder)(fileName);
}
