[deprecated in 6.4] qsizetype QString::count() const

This function is deprecated since 6.4. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use size() or length() instead.

This function overloads count().

Same as size().

[static, deprecated in 6.0] QString QString::fromUcs4(const uint *str, qsizetype size = -1)

This function is deprecated since 6.0. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use the char32_t overload instead.

[static, deprecated in 6.0] QString QString::fromUtf16(const ushort *str, qsizetype size = -1)

This function is deprecated since 6.0. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use the char16_t overload instead.

[noexcept, since 6.2, deprecated in 6.8] QString operator""_qs(const char16_t *str, int size)

This function is deprecated since 6.8. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use _s from Qt::StringLiterals namespace instead.

Literal operator that creates a QString out of the first size characters in the char16_t string literal str.

The QString is created at compile time, and the generated string data is stored in the read-only segment of the compiled object file. Duplicate literals may share the same read-only memory. This functionality is interchangeable with QStringLiteral, but saves typing when many string literals are present in the code.

The following code creates a QString:

auto str = u"hello"_qs;

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also QStringLiteral and QtLiterals::operator""_qba(const char *str, size_t size).
