If yes, copying a QString from a widget to another (for example > widget1.setCaption( widget2.caption() ) ) would lead to an unnecessary copy.
True, but how often do you copy a string from one widget to another? I'm guessing almost never (never= not often enough to worry about, or be performance critical). The only place that copying might be an issue is in something like Qt's XML parser. Otherwise I say drop QString. The whole "add str()" thing is a pain in the ass and leads to subtle bugs (espically when you use strings as keys in dictionaries). cheers, -- Simon Edwards | Guarddog Firewall [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.simonzone.com/software/ Nijmegen, The Netherlands | "ZooTV?
