/*
 * 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.

    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,
    that is, 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 are easy to translate if you want to expand
    your application's market at some point. Two prominent 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 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 \c{'\\0'}-terminated string. Except where the function's
    name overtly indicates some other encoding, such \c{const char *}
    parameters are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8.
 
    Since Qt 6.4, it is also possible to initialize QStrings using
    the \l {Qt::Literals::StringLiterals::operator""_s()} and
    \l {Qt::Literals::StringLiterals::operator""_L1()} literal
    operators. In many cases, using the literals results in
    \l{More efficient string construction}{more efficient string construction}.
 
 
    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. You can avoid taking a
    deep copy of the character data by using QStringView or
    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 toLocal8Bit().\l{QByteArray::}{constData()}
    on the QString.
 
    \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,
    QString may reallocate the memory in which it holds its data. 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 significantly 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. Do not call non-const
    functions while keeping iterators. Accessing an iterator or reference
    after it has been invalidated leads to undefined behavior. See the
    \l{Implicit sharing iterator problem} section for more information.
 
    A frequent requirement is to remove or simplify the spacing between
    visible characters in a string. The characters that make up that spacing
    are those for which \l {QChar::}{isSpace()} returns \c true, such as
    the simple space \c{' '}, the horizontal tab \c{'\\t'} and the newline \c{'\\n'}.
    To obtain a copy of a string leaving out any spacing from its start and end,
    use \l trimmed(). To also replace each sequence of spacing characters within
    the string with a simple space, \c{' '}, use \l 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, the latter searches backward.
    Either can be told an index position from which to start their search.
    Each returns 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 uppercase 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 filtered list
    from a string list by selecting the entries in it that contain a
    particular substring or match a particular QRegularExpression.
    See QStringList::filter() for details.
 
    \section1 Querying string data
 
    To see if a QString starts or ends with a particular substring, use
    startsWith() or endsWith(). To check whether a QString contains a
    specific character or substring, use the contains() function. To
    find out how many times a particular character or substring occurs
    in a 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. The comparison is based exclusively on the lexicographical
    order of the two strings, seen as sequences of UTF-16 code units.
    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.
 
    When Qt is linked with the ICU library (which it usually is), its
    locale-aware sorting is used. Otherwise, platform-specific solutions
    are used:
    \list
        \li On Windows, localeAwareCompare() uses the current user locale,
            as set in the \uicontrol{regional} and \uicontrol{language}
            options portion of \uicontrol{Control Panel}.
        \li On \macos and iOS, \l localeAwareCompare() compares according
            to the \uicontrol{Order for sorted lists} setting in the
            \uicontrol{International preferences} panel.
        \li On other Unix-like systems, the comparison falls back to the
            system library's \c strcoll().
    \endlist
 
    \section1 Converting between encoded string data and QString
 
    QString provides the following 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 QLatin1StringView 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 null
    and empty strings. A \e null string is a string that is
    initialized using QString's default constructor or by passing
    \nullptr 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().\l{QByteArray::}{constData()} returns a valid pointer
    (not \nullptr) to a '\\0' character for a null string. We
    recommend that you always use the isEmpty() function and avoid isNull().
 
    \section1 Number formats
 
    When a QString::arg() \c{'%'} format specifier includes the \c{'L'} locale
    qualifier, and the base is ten (its default), the default locale is
    used. This can be set using \l{QLocale::setDefault()}. For more refined
    control of localized string representations of numbers, see
    QLocale::toString(). All other number formatting done by QString follows the
    C locale's representation of numbers.
 
    When QString::arg() applies left-padding to numbers, the fill character
    \c{'0'} is treated specially. If the number is negative, its minus sign
    appears before the zero-padding. If the field is localized, the
    locale-appropriate zero character is used in place of \c{'0'}. For
    floating-point numbers, this special treatment only applies if the number is
    finite.
 
    \section2 Floating-point formats
 
    In member functions (for example, arg() and number()) that format floating-point
    numbers (\c float or \c double) as strings, the representation used can be
    controlled by a choice of \e format and \e precision, whose meanings are as
    for \l {QLocale::toString(double, char, int)}.
 
    If the selected \e format includes an exponent, localized forms follow the
    locale's convention on digits in the exponent. For non-localized formatting,
    the exponent shows its sign and includes at least two digits, left-padding
    with zero if needed.
 
    \section1 More efficient string construction
 
    Many strings are known at compile time. The QString constructor from
    C++ string literals will copy the contents of the string,
    treating the contents as UTF-8. This requires memory allocation and
    re-encoding string data, operations that will happen at runtime.
    If the string data is known at compile time, you can use the QStringLiteral
    macro or similarly \c{operator""_s} to create QString's payload at compile
    time instead.
 
    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:
 
    First, repeated use of the \c{'+'} operator may lead to
    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.
 
    These allocations can be optimized by an internal class
    \c{QStringBuilder}. 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.
 
    \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 reducing reference
    counting (the QString created from a \c{QStringBuilder}
    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 more convenient but not entirely
    source-compatible, is to define \c QT_USE_QSTRINGBUILDER (by adding
    it to the compiler flags) at build time. This will make concatenating
    strings with \c{'+'} work the same way as \c{QStringBuilder's} \c{'%'}.
 
    \note Using automatic type deduction (for example, by using the \c
    auto keyword) with the result of string concatenation when QStringBuilder
    is enabled will show that the concatenation is indeed an object of a
    QStringBuilder specialization:
 
    \snippet qstring/stringbuilder.cpp 6
 
    This does not cause any harm, as QStringBuilder will implicitly convert to
    QString when required. If this is undesirable, then one should specify
    the necessary types instead of having the compiler deduce them:
 
    \snippet qstring/stringbuilder.cpp 7
 
    \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 a 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 cases where Qt
    will throw exceptions. If exceptions are disabled, then running out of
    memory is undefined behavior.
 
    \note Target operating systems may impose limits on how much memory an
    application can allocate, in total, or on the size of individual allocations.
    This may further restrict the size of string a QString can hold.
    Mitigating or controlling the behavior these limits cause is beyond the
    scope of the Qt API.

/*!
    \fn void QString::reserve(qsizetype size)
 
    Ensures the string has space for at least \a size characters.
 
    If you know in advance how large a string will be, you can call this
    function to save repeated reallocation while 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 need. This 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

    guarantees that).
 
    The string type \c{T} is also a template and is either \c{const QString} or
    \c{QString}. This function can do both copy-conversion and in-place
    conversion depending on the state of the \a str parameter:

       \li \c{T} is \c{QString} and its refcount != 1: copy-convert

    \endlist
 
    In copy-convert mode, the local variable \c{s} is detached from the input
    \a str. In the in-place convert mode, \a str is in moved-from state and
    \c{s} contains the only copy of the string, without reallocation (thus,
    \a it is still valid).
 
    There is one pathological case left: when the in-place conversion needs to
    reallocate memory to grow the buffer. In that case, we need to adjust the \a

    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 (as returned by QChar::unicode()), or \c ushort.
    The \c{%ls} escape sequence expects a pointer to a zero-terminated array
    of unicode characters of type \c char16_t, or \c 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.

    returns the list of those strings. If \a sep does not match
    anywhere in the string, split() returns a single-element list
    containing this string.
 
    \a cs specifies whether \a sep should be matched case
    sensitively or case insensitively.
 
    If \a behavior is Qt::SkipEmptyParts, empty entries don't
    appear in the result. By default, empty entries are kept.
 
    Example:
 
    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 62
 
    If \a sep is empty, split() returns an empty string, followed
    by each of the string's characters, followed by another empty string:
 
    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 62-empty
 
    To understand this behavior, recall that the empty string matches
    everywhere, so the above is qualitatively the same as:

    Returns a copy of this string with the lowest-numbered place-marker
    replaced by string \a a, i.e., \c %1, \c %2, ..., \c %99.
 
    \a fieldWidth specifies the minimum amount of space that \a a
    shall occupy. If \a a requires less space than \a fieldWidth, it
    is padded to \a fieldWidth with character \a fillChar.  A positive
    \a fieldWidth produces right-aligned text. A negative \a fieldWidth
    produces left-aligned text.
 
    This example shows how we might create a \c status string for
    reporting progress while processing a list of files:
 
    \snippet qstring/main.cpp 11-qstringview
 
    First, \c arg(i) replaces \c %1. Then \c arg(total) replaces \c
    %2. Finally, \c arg(fileName) replaces \c %3.
 
    One advantage of using arg() over asprintf() is that the order of the
    numbered place markers can change, if the application's strings are
    translated into other languages, but each arg() will still replace
    the lowest-numbered unreplaced place-marker, no matter where it
    appears. Also, if place-marker \c %i appears more than once in the
    string, arg() replaces all of them.
 
    If there is no unreplaced place-marker remaining, a warning message
    is printed and the result is undefined. Place-marker numbers must be
    in the range 1 to 99.

  The \a a argument is expressed in base \a base, which is 10 by
  default and must be between 2 and 36. For bases other than 10, \a a
  is treated as an unsigned integer.
 
  \a fieldWidth specifies the minimum amount of space that \a a is

  value produces right-aligned text; a negative value produces
  left-aligned text.
 
  The '%' can be followed by an 'L', in which case the sequence is
  replaced with a localized representation of \a a. The conversion
  uses the default locale, set by QLocale::setDefault(). If no default
  locale was specified, the system locale is used. The 'L' flag is
  ignored if \a base is not 10.

/*
    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 entries 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.

  \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 QLatin1StringView can still be more efficient than QStringLiteral
  when the string is passed to a function that has an overload taking
  QLatin1StringView and this overload avoids conversion to QString.  For
  instance, QString::operator==() can compare to a QLatin1StringView
  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.
 
  \note QStringLiteral is interchangeable with \l operator""_s. The latter saves
  typing when many string literals are present in the code.
