- \class QStringIterator
- \since 5.3
- \inmodule QtCore
- \ingroup tools
-
- \internal
-
- \brief The QStringIterator class provides a Unicode-aware iterator over QString.
-
- \reentrant
-
- QStringIterator is a Java-like, bidirectional, const iterator over the contents of a
- QString. Unlike QString's own iterators, which manage the individual UTF-16 code units,
- QStringIterator is Unicode-aware: it will transparently handle the \e{surrogate pairs}
- that may be present in a QString, and return the individual Unicode code points.
-
- You can create a QStringIterator that iterates over a given
- QStringView by passing the string to the QStringIterator's constructor:
-
- \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qstringiterator.cpp 0
-
- A newly created QStringIterator will point before the first position in the
- string. It is possible to check whether the iterator can be advanced by
- calling hasNext(), and actually advance it (and obtain the next code point)
- by calling next():
-
- \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qstringiterator.cpp 1
-
- Similarly, the hasPrevious() and previous() functions can be used to iterate backwards.
-
- The peekNext() and peekPrevious() functions will return the code point
- respectively after and behind the iterator's current position, but unlike
- next() and previous() they will not move the iterator.
- Similarly, the advance() and recede() functions will move the iterator
- respectively after and behind the iterator's current position, but they
- will not return the code point the iterator has moved through.
-
- \section1 Unicode Handling
-
- QString and all of its functions work in terms of UTF-16 code units. Unicode code points
- that fall outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+10000 to U+10FFFF) will therefore
- be represented by \e{surrogate pairs} in a QString, that is, a sequence of two
- UTF-16 code units that encode a single code point.
-
- QStringIterator will automatically handle surrogate pairs inside a QString,
- and return the correctly decoded code point, while also moving the iterator by
- the right amount of code units to match the decoded code points.
-
- For instance:
-
- \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qstringiterator.cpp 2
-
- If the iterator is not able to decode the next code point (or the previous
- one, when iterating backwards), then it will return \c{0xFFFD}, that is,
- Unicode's replacement character (see QChar::ReplacementCharacter).
- It is possible to make QStringIterator return another value when it encounters
- a decoding problem; please refer to the each function documentation for
- more details.
-
- \section1 Unchecked Iteration
-
- It is possible to optimize iterating over a QString contents by skipping
- some checks. This is in general not safe to do, because a QString is allowed
- to contain malformed UTF-16 data; however, if we can trust a given QString,
- then we can use the optimized \e{unchecked} functions.
-
- QStringIterator provides the \e{unchecked} counterparts for next(),
- peekNext(), advance(), previous(), peekPrevious(), and recede():
- they're called, respectively,
- nextUnchecked(), peekNextUnchecked(), advanceUnchecked(),
- previousUnchecked(), peekPreviousUnchecked(), recedeUnchecked().
- The counterparts work exactly like the original ones,
- but they're faster as they're allowed to make certain assumptions about
- the string contents.
-
- \note please be extremely careful when using QStringIterator's unchecked functions,
- as using them on a string containing malformed data leads to undefined behavior.
