0001 # qstring-unneeded-heap-allocations 0002 0003 Finds places with unneeded memory allocations due to temporary `QString`s. 0004 0005 Here's a summary of usages that allocate: 0006 0007 1. `QString s = "foo"; // Allocates, use QStringLiteral("foo") instead` 0008 0009 2. `QString s = QLatin1String("foo"); // Allocates, use QStringLiteral("foo") instead` 0010 0011 2.1 `QString s = QLatin1String(""); // No allocation. QString is optimized for this case, so it's safe for empty literals` 0012 0013 3. `QString s = QStringLiteral("foo"); // No allocation` 0014 0015 4. `QString s = QString::fromLatin1("foo"); // Allocates, use QStringLiteral` 0016 0017 5. `QString s = QString::fromUtf8("foo"); // Allocates, use QStringLiteral` 0018 0019 6. `s == "foo" // Allocates, use QLatin1String` 0020 0021 7. `s == QLatin1String("foo") // No allocation` 0022 0023 8. `s == QStringLiteral("foo") // No allocation` 0024 0025 9. `QString {"append", "compare", "endsWith", "startsWith", "indexOf", "insert",` 0026 ` "lastIndexOf", "prepend", "replace", "contains" } // They all have QLatin1String overloads, so passing a QLatin1String is ok.` 0027 0028 10. `QString::fromLatin1("foo %1").arg(bar) // Allocates twice, replacing with QStringLiteral makes it allocate only once.` 0029 0030 0031 #### Fixits 0032 0033 This check supports a fixit to rewrite your code. See the README.md on how to enable it. 0034 0035 #### Pitfalls 0036 0037 - `QStringLiteral` might make your app crash at exit if plugins are involved. 0038 See: 0039 <https://blogs.kde.org/2015/11/05/qregexp-qstringliteral-crash-exit> and 0040 <http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2015-November/023681.html> 0041 0042 - Also note that MSVC crashes when `QStringLiteral` is used inside initializer lists. For that reason no warning or fixit is emitted for this case unless you set an env variable: 0043 0044 export CLAZY_EXTRA_OPTIONS="qstring-allocations-no-msvc-compat"
