QTreeWidget layout differs from OS to OS with same code base

[SGaist]

Hi,

What OS ?
What version of Qt ?
Are you providing the translation with your application ?

[VRonin]

Can you try using std::initializer_list instead of operator <<?
systemData->addChildren(QList<QTreeWidgetItem*>{createTreeWidgetItem(tr("Generator Data")), createTreeWidgetItem(tr("Sensing mode")), createTreeWidgetItem(tr("Grid options"))});

This seemed to do the trick. So the list initialization order is not respected with the << operator? But most of all, why is it not respected only under windows?

Thanks by the way.

I think it's just due to how multiple operators are resolved. The compiler you are using on windows unusually goes right to left

Thats actually important to know. Is that true for all << operators ?

for example QTextStream stream(&someFile); stream << "a" << "b" << "c"; actually results in "cba" on windows and "abc" on linux,in the text file ?

Or is this just for containers ?

Which compiler is that? Can you try something for me, just for kicks?
Does this work correctly:

QList<QTreeWidgetItem*> dummy;
dummy << createTreeWidgetItem(tr("Generator Data")) << createTreeWidgetItem(tr("Sensing mode") << createTreeWidgetItem(tr("Grid options"));
systemData->addChildren(dummy);

With your test "just for kicks", the output is inverted (see first post). I'm using the msvc2015 32bit compiler for windows

Did you actually run it with the dummy and not with the anonymous object is the point?
The reason I asked is I'd encountered non-compliant behavior with msvc when dealing with anonymous objects, hence the question.

[nwoki]

@kshegunov yup. I did as you asked

Then the compiler does not follow the rules for the C++ bitshift operators.
