/*
 * Note on the use of SIMD in qstring.cpp:
 *
 * Several operations with strings are improved with the use of SIMD code,
 * since they are repetitive. For MIPS, we have hand-written assembly code
 * outside of qstring.cpp targeting MIPS DSP and MIPS DSPr2. For ARM and for
 * x86, we can only use intrinsics and therefore everything is contained in
 * qstring.cpp. We need to use intrinsics only for those platforms due to the
 * different compilers and toolchains used, which have different syntax for
 * assembly sources.
 *
 * ** SSE notes: **
 *
 * Whenever multiple alternatives are equivalent or near so, we prefer the one
 * using instructions from SSE2, since SSE2 is guaranteed to be enabled for all
 * 64-bit builds and we enable it for 32-bit builds by default. Use of higher
 * SSE versions should be done when there is a clear performance benefit and
 * requires fallback code to SSE2, if it exists.
 *
 * Performance measurement in the past shows that most strings are short in
 * size and, therefore, do not benefit from alignment prologues. That is,
 * trying to find a 16-byte-aligned boundary to operate on is often more
 * expensive than executing the unaligned operation directly. In addition, note
 * that the QString private data is designed so that the data is stored on
 * 16-byte boundaries if the system malloc() returns 16-byte aligned pointers
 * on its own (64-bit glibc on Linux does; 32-bit glibc on Linux returns them
 * 50% of the time), so skipping the alignment prologue is actually optimizing
 * for the common case.

    \class QString
    \inmodule QtCore
    \reentrant

    \brief The QString class provides a Unicode character string.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup string-processing

    QString stores a string of 16-bit \l{QChar}s, where each QChar
    corresponds to one UTF-16 code unit. (Unicode characters
    with code values above 65535 are stored using surrogate pairs,
    i.e., two consecutive \l{QChar}s.)

    \l{Unicode} is an international standard that supports most of the
    writing systems in use today. It is a superset of US-ASCII (ANSI
    X3.4-1986) and Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1), and all the US-ASCII/Latin-1
    characters are available at the same code positions.

    Behind the scenes, QString uses \l{implicit sharing}
    (copy-on-write) to reduce memory usage and to avoid the needless
    copying of data. This also helps reduce the inherent overhead of
    storing 16-bit characters instead of 8-bit characters.

    In addition to QString, Qt also provides the QByteArray class to
    store raw bytes and traditional 8-bit '\\0'-terminated strings.
    For most purposes, QString is the class you want to use. It is
    used throughout the Qt API, and the Unicode support ensures that
    your applications will be easy to translate if you want to expand
    your application's market at some point. The two main cases where
    QByteArray is appropriate are when you need to store raw binary
    data, and when memory conservation is critical (like in embedded
    systems).

    \section1 Initializing a String

    One way to initialize a QString is simply to pass a \c{const char
    *} to its constructor. For example, the following code creates a
    QString of size 5 containing the data "Hello":

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 0

    QString converts the \c{const char *} data into Unicode using the
    fromUtf8() function.

    In all of the QString functions that take \c{const char *}
    parameters, the \c{const char *} is interpreted as a classic
    C-style '\\0'-terminated string encoded in UTF-8. It is legal for
    the \c{const char *} parameter to be \nullptr.

    You can also provide string data as an array of \l{QChar}s:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 1

    QString makes a deep copy of the QChar data, so you can modify it
    later without experiencing side effects. (If for performance
    reasons you don't want to take a deep copy of the character data,
    use QString::fromRawData() instead.)

    Another approach is to set the size of the string using resize()
    and to initialize the data character per character. QString uses
    0-based indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the character at
    a particular index position, you can use \l operator[](). On
    non-\c{const} strings, \l operator[]() returns a reference to a
    character that can be used on the left side of an assignment. For
    example:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 2

    For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use the at()
    function:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 3

    The at() function can be faster than \l operator[](), because it
    never causes a \l{deep copy} to occur. Alternatively, use the
    first(), last(), or sliced() functions to extract several characters
    at a time.

    A QString can embed '\\0' characters (QChar::Null). The size()
    function always returns the size of the whole string, including
    embedded '\\0' characters.

    After a call to the resize() function, newly allocated characters
    have undefined values. To set all the characters in the string to
    a particular value, use the fill() function.

    QString provides dozens of overloads designed to simplify string
    usage. For example, if you want to compare a QString with a string
    literal, you can write code like this and it will work as expected:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 4

    You can also pass string literals to functions that take QStrings
    as arguments, invoking the QString(const char *)
    constructor. Similarly, you can pass a QString to a function that
    takes a \c{const char *} argument using the \l qPrintable() macro
    which returns the given QString as a \c{const char *}. This is
    equivalent to calling <QString>.toLocal8Bit().constData().

    \section1 Manipulating String Data

    QString provides the following basic functions for modifying the
    character data: append(), prepend(), insert(), replace(), and
    remove(). For example:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 5

    In the above example the replace() function's first two arguments are the
    position from which to start replacing and the number of characters that
    should be replaced.

    When data-modifying functions increase the size of the string,
    they may lead to reallocation of memory for the QString object. When
    this happens, QString expands by more than it immediately needs so as
    to have space for further expansion without reallocation until the size
    of the string has greatly increased.

    The insert(), remove() and, when replacing a sub-string with one of
    different size, replace() functions can be slow (\l{linear time}) for
    large strings, because they require moving many characters in the string
    by at least one position in memory.

    If you are building a QString gradually and know in advance
    approximately how many characters the QString will contain, you
    can call reserve(), asking QString to preallocate a certain amount
    of memory. You can also call capacity() to find out how much
    memory the QString actually has allocated.

    QString provides \l{STL-style iterators} (QString::const_iterator and
    QString::iterator). In practice, iterators are handy when working with
    generic algorithms provided by the C++ standard library.

    \note Iterators over a QString, and references to individual characters
    within one, cannot be relied on to remain valid when any non-\c{const}
    method of the QString is called. Accessing such an iterator or reference
    after the call to a non-\c{const} method leads to undefined behavior. When
    stability for iterator-like functionality is required, you should use
    indexes instead of iterators as they are not tied to QString's internal
    state and thus do not get invalidated.

    \note Due to \l{implicit sharing}, the first non-\c{const} operator or
    function used on a given QString may cause it to, internally, perform a deep
    copy of its data. This invalidates all iterators over the string and
    references to individual characters within it. After the first non-\c{const}
    operator, operations that modify QString may completely (in case of
    reallocation) or partially invalidate iterators and references, but other
    methods (such as begin() or end()) will not. Accessing an iterator or
    reference after it has been invalidated leads to undefined behavior.

    A frequent requirement is to remove whitespace characters from a
    string ('\\n', '\\t', ' ', etc.). If you want to remove whitespace
    from both ends of a QString, use the trimmed() function. If you
    want to remove whitespace from both ends and replace multiple
    consecutive whitespaces with a single space character within the
    string, use simplified().

    If you want to find all occurrences of a particular character or
    substring in a QString, use the indexOf() or lastIndexOf()
    functions. The former searches forward starting from a given index
    position, the latter searches backward. Both return the index
    position of the character or substring if they find it; otherwise,
    they return -1.  For example, here is a typical loop that finds all
    occurrences of a particular substring:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 6

    QString provides many functions for converting numbers into
    strings and strings into numbers. See the arg() functions, the
    setNum() functions, the number() static functions, and the
    toInt(), toDouble(), and similar functions.

    To get an upper- or lowercase version of a string use toUpper() or
    toLower().

    Lists of strings are handled by the QStringList class. You can
    split a string into a list of strings using the split() function,
    and join a list of strings into a single string with an optional
    separator using QStringList::join(). You can obtain a list of
    strings from a string list that contain a particular substring or
    that match a particular QRegularExpression using the QStringList::filter()
    function.

    \section1 Querying String Data

    If you want to see if a QString starts or ends with a particular
    substring use startsWith() or endsWith(). If you simply want to
    check whether a QString contains a particular character or
    substring, use the contains() function. If you want to find out
    how many times a particular character or substring occurs in the
    string, use count().

    To obtain a pointer to the actual character data, call data() or
    constData(). These functions return a pointer to the beginning of
    the QChar data. The pointer is guaranteed to remain valid until a
    non-\c{const} function is called on the QString.

    \section2 Comparing Strings

    QStrings can be compared using overloaded operators such as \l
    operator<(), \l operator<=(), \l operator==(), \l operator>=(),
    and so on.  Note that the comparison is based exclusively on the
    numeric Unicode values of the characters. It is very fast, but is
    not what a human would expect; the QString::localeAwareCompare()
    function is usually a better choice for sorting user-interface
    strings, when such a comparison is available.

    On Unix-like platforms (including Linux, \macos and iOS), when Qt
    is linked with the ICU library (which it usually is), its
    locale-aware sorting is used.  Otherwise, on \macos and iOS, \l
    localeAwareCompare() compares according the "Order for sorted
    lists" setting in the International preferences panel. On other
    Unix-like systems without ICU, the comparison falls back to the
    system library's \c strcoll(),

    \section1 Converting Between Encoded Strings Data and QString

    QString provides the following three functions that return a
    \c{const char *} version of the string as QByteArray: toUtf8(),
    toLatin1(), and toLocal8Bit().

    \list
    \li toLatin1() returns a Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) encoded 8-bit string.
    \li toUtf8() returns a UTF-8 encoded 8-bit string. UTF-8 is a
       superset of US-ASCII (ANSI X3.4-1986) that supports the entire
       Unicode character set through multibyte sequences.
    \li toLocal8Bit() returns an 8-bit string using the system's local
       encoding. This is the same as toUtf8() on Unix systems.
    \endlist

    To convert from one of these encodings, QString provides
    fromLatin1(), fromUtf8(), and fromLocal8Bit(). Other
    encodings are supported through the QStringEncoder and QStringDecoder
    classes.

    As mentioned above, QString provides a lot of functions and
    operators that make it easy to interoperate with \c{const char *}
    strings. But this functionality is a double-edged sword: It makes
    QString more convenient to use if all strings are US-ASCII or
    Latin-1, but there is always the risk that an implicit conversion
    from or to \c{const char *} is done using the wrong 8-bit
    encoding. To minimize these risks, you can turn off these implicit
    conversions by defining some of the following preprocessor symbols:

    \list
    \li \l QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII disables automatic conversions from
       C string literals and pointers to Unicode.
    \li \l QT_RESTRICTED_CAST_FROM_ASCII allows automatic conversions
       from C characters and character arrays, but disables automatic
       conversions from character pointers to Unicode.
    \li \l QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII disables automatic conversion from QString
       to C strings.
    \endlist

    You then need to explicitly call fromUtf8(), fromLatin1(),
    or fromLocal8Bit() to construct a QString from an
    8-bit string, or use the lightweight QLatin1String class, for
    example:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 1

    Similarly, you must call toLatin1(), toUtf8(), or
    toLocal8Bit() explicitly to convert the QString to an 8-bit
    string.

    \table 100 %
    \header
    \li Note for C Programmers

    \row
    \li
    Due to C++'s type system and the fact that QString is
    \l{implicitly shared}, QStrings may be treated like \c{int}s or
    other basic types. For example:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 7

    The \c result variable, is a normal variable allocated on the
    stack. When \c return is called, and because we're returning by
    value, the copy constructor is called and a copy of the string is
    returned. No actual copying takes place thanks to the implicit
    sharing.

    \endtable

    \section1 Distinction Between Null and Empty Strings

    For historical reasons, QString distinguishes between a null
    string and an empty string. A \e null string is a string that is
    initialized using QString's default constructor or by passing
    (\c{const char *})0 to the constructor. An \e empty string is any
    string with size 0. A null string is always empty, but an empty
    string isn't necessarily null:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 8

    All functions except isNull() treat null strings the same as empty
    strings. For example, toUtf8().constData() returns a valid pointer
    (\e not nullptr) to a '\\0' character for a null string. We
    recommend that you always use the isEmpty() function and avoid isNull().

    \section1 Argument Formats

    In member functions where an argument \e format can be specified
    (e.g., arg(), number()), the argument \e format can be one of the
    following:

    \table
    \header \li Format \li Meaning
    \row \li \c e \li format as [-]9.9e[+|-]999
    \row \li \c E \li format as [-]9.9E[+|-]999
    \row \li \c f \li format as [-]9.9
    \row \li \c g \li use \c e or \c f format, whichever is the most concise
    \row \li \c G \li use \c E or \c f format, whichever is the most concise
    \endtable

    A \e precision is also specified with the argument \e format. For
    the 'e', 'E', and 'f' formats, the \e precision represents the
    number of digits \e after the decimal point. For the 'g' and 'G'
    formats, the \e precision represents the maximum number of
    significant digits (trailing zeroes are omitted).

    \section1 More Efficient String Construction

    Many strings are known at compile time. But the trivial
    constructor QString("Hello"), will copy the contents of the string,
    treating the contents as Latin-1. To avoid this one can use the
    QStringLiteral macro to directly create the required data at compile
    time. Constructing a QString out of the literal does then not cause
    any overhead at runtime.

    A slightly less efficient way is to use QLatin1String. This class wraps
    a C string literal, precalculates it length at compile time and can
    then be used for faster comparison with QStrings and conversion to
    QStrings than a regular C string literal.

    Using the QString \c{'+'} operator, it is easy to construct a
    complex string from multiple substrings. You will often write code
    like this:

    \snippet qstring/stringbuilder.cpp 0

    There is nothing wrong with either of these string constructions,
    but there are a few hidden inefficiencies. Beginning with Qt 4.6,
    you can eliminate them.

    First, multiple uses of the \c{'+'} operator usually means
    multiple memory allocations. When concatenating \e{n} substrings,
    where \e{n > 2}, there can be as many as \e{n - 1} calls to the
    memory allocator.

    In 4.6, an internal template class \c{QStringBuilder} has been
    added along with a few helper functions. This class is marked
    internal and does not appear in the documentation, because you
    aren't meant to instantiate it in your code. Its use will be
    automatic, as described below. The class is found in
    \c {src/corelib/tools/qstringbuilder.cpp} if you want to have a
    look at it.

    \c{QStringBuilder} uses expression templates and reimplements the
    \c{'%'} operator so that when you use \c{'%'} for string
    concatenation instead of \c{'+'}, multiple substring
    concatenations will be postponed until the final result is about
    to be assigned to a QString. At this point, the amount of memory
    required for the final result is known. The memory allocator is
    then called \e{once} to get the required space, and the substrings
    are copied into it one by one.

    Additional efficiency is gained by inlining and reduced reference
    counting (the QString created from a \c{QStringBuilder} typically
    has a ref count of 1, whereas QString::append() needs an extra
    test).

    There are two ways you can access this improved method of string
    construction. The straightforward way is to include
    \c{QStringBuilder} wherever you want to use it, and use the
    \c{'%'} operator instead of \c{'+'} when concatenating strings:

    \snippet qstring/stringbuilder.cpp 5

    A more global approach which is the most convenient but
    not entirely source compatible, is to this define in your
    .pro file:

    \snippet qstring/stringbuilder.cpp 3

    and the \c{'+'} will automatically be performed as the
    \c{QStringBuilder} \c{'%'} everywhere.

    \section1 Maximum Size and Out-of-memory Conditions

    The maximum size of QString depends on the architecture. Most 64-bit
    systems can allocate more than 2 GB of memory, with a typical limit
    of 2^63 bytes. The actual value also depends on the overhead required for
    managing the data block. As a result, you can expect the maximum size
    of 2 GB minus overhead on 32-bit platforms, and 2^63 bytes minus overhead
    on 64-bit platforms. The number of elements that can be stored in a
    QString is this maximum size divided by the size of QChar.

    When memory allocation fails, QString throws a \c std::bad_alloc
    exception if the application was compiled with exception support.
    Out of memory conditions in Qt containers are the only case where Qt
    will throw exceptions. If exceptions are disabled, then running out of
    memory is undefined behavior.

    Note that the operating system may impose further limits on applications
    holding a lot of allocated memory, especially large, contiguous blocks.
    Such considerations, the configuration of such behavior or any mitigation
    are outside the scope of the Qt API.

    \note a statically allocated string will report a capacity of 0,

    other words, one should not assume that the free memory is always located
    after the initialized elements.

    \sa reserve(), squeeze()
*/

/*!
    \fn void QString::reserve(qsizetype size)

    Ensures the string has space for at least \a size characters.

    If you know in advance how large the string will be, you can call this
    function to save repeated reallocation in the course of building it.
    This can improve performance when building a string incrementally.
    A long sequence of operations that add to a string may trigger several
    reallocations, the last of which may leave you with significantly more
    space than you really need, which is less efficient than doing a single
    allocation of the right size at the start.

    If in doubt about how much space shall be needed, it is usually better to
    use an upper bound as \a size, or a high estimate of the most likely size,
    if a strict upper bound would be much bigger than this. If \a size is an
    underestimate, the string will grow as needed once the reserved size is
    exceeded, which may lead to a larger allocation than your best overestimate
    would have and will slow the operation that triggers it.

    \warning reserve() reserves memory but does not change the size of the
    string. Accessing data beyond the end of the string is undefined behavior.
    If you need to access memory beyond the current end of the string,
    use resize().

    This function is useful for code that needs to build up a long
    string and wants to avoid repeated reallocation. In this example,
    we want to add to the string until some condition is \c true, and
    we're fairly sure that size is large enough to make a call to
    reserve() worthwhile:

    character, \a sep. The returned string consists of the fields from
    position \a start to position \a end inclusive. If \a end is not
    specified, all fields from position \a start to the end of the

    The \a flags argument can be used to affect some aspects of the

    to skip empty fields and how to deal with leading and trailing
    separators; see \l{SectionFlags}.

    If \a start or \a end is negative, we count fields from the right

    Safely builds a formatted string from the format string \a cformat
    and an arbitrary list of arguments.

    The format string supports the conversion specifiers, length modifiers,
    and flags provided by printf() in the standard C++ library. The \a cformat
    string and \c{%s} arguments must be UTF-8 encoded.

    \note The \c{%lc} escape sequence expects a unicode character of type
    \c char16_t, or \c ushort (as returned by QChar::unicode()).
    The \c{%ls} escape sequence expects a pointer to a zero-terminated array
    of unicode characters of type \c char16_t, or ushort (as returned by
    QString::utf16()). This is at odds with the printf() in the standard C++
    library, which defines \c {%lc} to print a wchar_t and \c{%ls} to print
    a \c{wchar_t*}, and might also produce compiler warnings on platforms
    where the size of \c {wchar_t} is not 16 bits.

    \warning We do not recommend using QString::asprintf() in new Qt
    code. Instead, consider using QTextStream or arg(), both of
    which support Unicode strings seamlessly and are type-safe.
    Here is an example that uses QTextStream:

    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 64

    For \l {QObject::tr()}{translations}, especially if the strings
    contains more than one escape sequence, you should consider using
    the arg() function instead. This allows the order of the
    replacements to be controlled by the translator.

/*
    Algorithm for multiArg:

    1. Parse the string as a sequence of verbatim text and placeholders (%L?\d{,3}).
       The L is parsed and accepted for compatibility with non-multi-arg, but since
       multiArg only accepts strings as replacements, the localization request can
       be safely ignored.
    2. The result of step (1) is a list of (string-ref,int)-tuples. The string-ref
       either points at text to be copied verbatim (in which case the int is -1),
       or, initially, at the textual representation of the placeholder. In that case,
       the int contains the numerical number as parsed from the placeholder.
    3. Next, collect all the non-negative ints found, sort them in ascending order and
       remove duplicates.
       3a. If the result has more entires than multiArg() was given replacement strings,
           we have found placeholders we can't satisfy with replacement strings. That is
           fine (there could be another .arg() call coming after this one), so just
           truncate the result to the number of actual multiArg() replacement strings.
       3b. If the result has less entries than multiArg() was given replacement strings,
           the string is missing placeholders. This is an error that the user should be
           warned about.
    4. The result of step (3) is a mapping from the index of any replacement string to
       placeholder number. This is the wrong way around, but since placeholder
       numbers could get as large as 999, while we typically don't have more than 9
       replacement strings, we trade 4K of sparsely-used memory for doing a reverse lookup
       each time we need to map a placeholder number to a replacement string index
       (that's a linear search; but still *much* faster than using an associative container).
    5. Next, for each of the tuples found in step (1), do the following:
       5a. If the int is negative, do nothing.
       5b. Otherwise, if the int is found in the result of step (3) at index I, replace
           the string-ref with a string-ref for the (complete) I'th replacement string.
       5c. Otherwise, do nothing.
    6. Concatenate all string refs into a single result string.

/*! \class QLatin1String
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QLatin1String class provides a thin wrapper around an US-ASCII/Latin-1 encoded string literal.

    \ingroup string-processing
    \reentrant

    Many of QString's member functions are overloaded to accept
    \c{const char *} instead of QString. This includes the copy
    constructor, the assignment operator, the comparison operators,
    and various other functions such as \l{QString::insert()}{insert()},
    \l{QString::replace()}{replace()}, and \l{QString::indexOf()}{indexOf()}.
    These functions are usually optimized to avoid constructing a
    QString object for the \c{const char *} data. For example,
    assuming \c str is a QString,

    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 3

    is much faster than

    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 4

    because it doesn't construct four temporary QString objects and
    make a deep copy of the character data.

    Applications that define \l QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII (as explained
    in the QString documentation) don't have access to QString's
    \c{const char *} API. To provide an efficient way of specifying
    constant Latin-1 strings, Qt provides the QLatin1String, which is
    just a very thin wrapper around a \c{const char *}. Using
    QLatin1String, the example code above becomes

    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 5

    This is a bit longer to type, but it provides exactly the same
    benefits as the first version of the code, and is faster than
    converting the Latin-1 strings using QString::fromLatin1().

    Thanks to the QString(QLatin1String) constructor,
    QLatin1String can be used everywhere a QString is expected. For
    example:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 6

    \note If the function you're calling with a QLatin1String
    argument isn't actually overloaded to take QLatin1String, the
    implicit conversion to QString will trigger a memory allocation,
    which is usually what you want to avoid by using QLatin1String
    in the first place. In those cases, using QStringLiteral may be
    the better option.

  \macro QStringLiteral(str)
  \relates QString

  The macro generates the data for a QString out of the string literal \a str
  at compile time. Creating a QString from it is free in this case, and the
  generated string data is stored in the read-only segment of the compiled
  object file.

  If you have code that looks like this:

  \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 9

  then a temporary QString will be created to be passed as the \c{hasAttribute}
  function parameter. This can be quite expensive, as it involves a memory
  allocation and the copy/conversion of the data into QString's internal
  encoding.

  This cost can be avoided by using QStringLiteral instead:

  \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 10

  In this case, QString's internal data will be generated at compile time; no
  conversion or allocation will occur at runtime.

  Using QStringLiteral instead of a double quoted plain C++ string literal can
  significantly speed up creation of QString instances from data known at
  compile time.

  \note QLatin1String can still be more efficient than QStringLiteral
  when the string is passed to a function that has an overload taking
  QLatin1String and this overload avoids conversion to QString.  For
  instance, QString::operator==() can compare to a QLatin1String
  directly:

  \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstring.cpp 11

  \note Some compilers have bugs encoding strings containing characters outside
  the US-ASCII character set. Make sure you prefix your string with \c{u} in
  those cases. It is optional otherwise.
