Long live Q{Any,Utf8}StringView!
We need to add these two classes at the same time, because
QAnyStringView makes all QUtf8StringView relational operators moot. We
might want to add some later, esp. for UTF-8/UTf-8 comparisons, to
avoid the pessimization that we can't early-out on size() mismatch in
QAnyStringView equality operators, but that's an optimization, not a
correctness issue, and can be fixed in a source-compatible way even
after Qt 6 is released.
To deal with the char8_t problem in C++20, make QUtf8StringView a
class template out of which two UTF-8 views can be instantiated: the
Qt 7 version, which depends on C++20 char8_t as value_type, and the Qt
6 version where value_type is a char. Use inline namespaces to map the
QUtf8StringView identifier to one or the other, depending on the C++
version used to compile the user code. The inline namespace names must
needs be a bit ugly, as their inline'ness depends on __cpp_char8_t. If
we simply used q_v1/q_v2 we'd be blocking these names for Qt inline
namespaces forever, because it's likely that inline'ness of other
users of inline namespaces in Qt depends on things other than
__cpp_char8_t. While inline'ness of namespaces is, theoretically
speaking, a compile-time-only property, at least Clang warns about
mixed use of inline on a given namespace, so we need to bite the
bullet here. This is also the reason for the QT_BEGIN_..._NAMESPACE
macros: GCC is ok with the first declaration making a namespace
inline, while Clang warns upon re-opening an inline namespace as a
non-inline one.
