/*!
    \class TQCString
    \reentrant
    \brief The TQCString class provides an abstraction of the classic C
    zero-terminated char array (char *).

    \compat

    TQCString tries to behave like a more convenient \c{const char *}.
    The price of doing this is that some algorithms will perform
    badly. For example, append() is O(length()) since it scans for a
    null terminator. Although you might use TQCString for text that is
    never exposed to the user, for most purposes, and especially for
    user-visible text, you should use QString. QString provides
    implicit sharing, Unicode and other internationalization support,
    and is well optimized.

    Note that for the TQCString methods that take a \c{const char *}
    parameter the \c{const char *} must either be 0 (null) or not-null
    and '\0' (NUL byte) terminated; otherwise the results are
    undefined.

    A default constructed TQCString is \e null, i.e. both the length
    and the data pointer are 0 and isNull() returns true.

    \note However, if you ask for the data pointer of a null TQCString
    by calling data(), then because the internal representation of the
    null TQCString is shared, it will be detached and replaced with a
    non-shared, empty representation, a non-null data pointer will be
    returned, and subsequent calls to isNull() will return false. But
    if you ask for the data pointer of a null TQCString by calling
    constData(), the shared internal representation is not detached, a
    null data pointer is returned, and subsequent calls to isNull()
    will continue to return true.

    A TQCString that references the empty string ("", a single '\0'
    char) is \e empty, i.e. isEmpty() returns true.  Both null and
    empty TQCStrings are legal parameters to the methods.  Assigning
    \c{const char *} 0 to TQCString produces a null TQCString.

    The length() function returns the length of the string; resize()
    resizes the string and truncate() truncates the string. A string
    can be filled with a character using fill(). Strings can be left
    or right padded with characters using leftJustify() and
    rightJustify(). Characters, strings and regular expressions can be
    searched for using find() and findRev(), and counted using
    contains().

    Strings and characters can be inserted with insert() and appended
    with append(). A string can be prepended with prepend().
    Characters can be removed from the string with remove() and
    replaced with replace().

    Portions of a string can be extracted using left(), right() and
    mid(). Whitespace can be removed using stripWhiteSpace() and
    simplifyWhiteSpace(). Strings can be converted to uppercase or
    lowercase with upper() and lower() respectively.

    Strings that contain numbers can be converted to numbers with
    toShort(), toInt(), toLong(), toULong(), toFloat() and toDouble().
    Numbers can be converted to strings with setNum().

    Many operators are overloaded to work with TQCStrings. TQCString
    also supports some more obscure functions, e.g. sprintf(),
    setStr() and setExpand().

    \sidebar Note on Character Comparisons

    In TQCString the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of which
    character is greater than or less than another character is locale
    dependent. This affects functions which support a case insensitive
    option or which compare or lowercase or uppercase their arguments.
    Case insensitive operations and comparisons will be accurate if
    both strings contain only ASCII characters. (If \c $LC_CTYPE is
    set, most Unix systems do "the right thing".) Functions that this
    affects include contains(), find(), findRev(), \l operator<(), \l
    operator<=(), \l operator>(), \l operator>=(), lower() and
    upper().

    This issue does not apply to \l{QString}s since they represent
    characters using Unicode.
    \endsidebar

    Performance note: The TQCString methods for QRegExp searching are
    implemented by converting the TQCString to a QString and performing
    the search on that. This implies a deep copy of the TQCString data.
    If you are going to perform many QRegExp searches on a large
    TQCString, you will get better performance by converting the
    TQCString to a QString yourself, and then searching in the QString.

    \class TQCString tqcstring.h
    \reentrant
    \brief The TQCString class provides an abstraction of the classic C
    zero-terminated char array (char *).

    \ingroup text
    \ingroup collection
    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared

    TQCString inherits TQByteArray, which is defined as
    TQMemArray\<char\>. Since TQCString is a TQMemArray, it uses \link
    shclass.html explicit sharing\endlink with a reference count.

    TQCString tries to behave like a more convenient \c{const char *}.
    The price of doing this is that some algorithms will perform
    badly. For example, append() is O(length()) since it scans for a
    null terminator. Although you might use TQCString for text that is
    never exposed to the user, for most purposes, and especially for
    user-visible text, you should use TQString. TQString provides
    implicit sharing, Unicode and other internationalization support,
    and is well optimized.

    Note that for the TQCString methods that take a \c{const char *}
    parameter the \c{const char *} must either be 0 (null) or not-null
    and '\0' (NUL byte) terminated; otherwise the results are
    undefined.

    A TQCString that has not been assigned to anything is \e null, i.e.
    both the length and the data pointer is 0. A TQCString that
    references the empty string ("", a single '\0' char) is \e empty.
    Both null and empty TQCStrings are legal parameters to the methods.
    Assigning \c{const char *} 0 to TQCString produces a null TQCString.

    The length() function returns the length of the string; resize()
    resizes the string and truncate() truncates the string. A string
    can be filled with a character using fill(). Strings can be left
    or right padded with characters using leftJustify() and
    rightJustify(). Characters, strings and regular expressions can be
    searched for using find() and findRev(), and counted using
    contains().

    Strings and characters can be inserted with insert() and appended
    with append(). A string can be prepended with prepend().
    Characters can be removed from the string with remove() and
    replaced with replace().

    Portions of a string can be extracted using left(), right() and
    mid(). Whitespace can be removed using stripWhiteSpace() and
    simplifyWhiteSpace(). Strings can be converted to uppercase or
    lowercase with upper() and lower() respectively.

    Strings that contain numbers can be converted to numbers with
    toShort(), toInt(), toLong(), toULong(), toFloat() and toDouble().
    Numbers can be converted to strings with setNum().

    Many operators are overloaded to work with TQCStrings. TQCString
    also supports some more obscure functions, e.g. sprintf(),
    setStr() and setExpand().

    \target asciinotion
    \sidebar Note on Character Comparisons

    In TQCString the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of which
    character is greater than or less than another character is locale
    dependent. This affects functions which support a case insensitive
    option or which compare or lowercase or uppercase their arguments.
    Case insensitive operations and comparisons will be accurate if
    both strings contain only ASCII characters. (If \c $LC_CTYPE is
    set, most Unix systems do "the right thing".) Functions that this
    affects include contains(), find(), findRev(), \l operator<(), \l
    operator<=(), \l operator>(), \l operator>=(), lower() and
    upper().

    This issue does not apply to \l{TQString}s since they represent
    characters using Unicode.
    \endsidebar

    Performance note: The TQCString methods for TQRegExp searching are
    implemented by converting the TQCString to a TQString and performing
    the search on that. This implies a deep copy of the TQCString data.
    If you are going to perform many TQRegExp searches on a large
    TQCString, you will get better performance by converting the
    TQCString to a TQString yourself, and then searching in the TQString.

/*!
    Implemented as a call to the native vsprintf() (see the manual for
    your C library).

    If the string is shorter than 256 characters, this sprintf() calls
    resize(256) to decrease the chance of memory corruption. The
    string is resized back to its actual length before sprintf()
    returns.

    Example:
    \code
    TQCString s;
    s.sprintf( "%d - %s", 1, "first" );		// result < 256 chars

    TQCString big( 25000 );			// very long string
    big.sprintf( "%d - %s", 2, longString );	// result < 25000 chars
    \endcode

    \warning All vsprintf() implementations will write past the end of
    the target string (*this) if the \a format specification and
    arguments happen to be longer than the target string, and some
    will also fail if the target string is longer than some arbitrary
    implementation limit.

    Giving user-supplied arguments to sprintf() is risky: Sooner or
    later someone will paste a huge line into your application.
