typedef std::basic_string<unsigned char> ustring;

[davecotter]

apparently this functionality has been removed?

it had been working up until i must have upgraded my compiler or something. using clang ARM 64bit on mac (Qt Creator)

anyone have a drop-in replacement?

For what? The typedef for ustring? What's the relation to Qt here? std::basic_string is a standard c++ class. You can also add this typedef by yourself if you really need it for some reason. Also take a look at e.g. here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8400896/ustring-an-inplace-replacement-of-stdstring-stdwstring

[davecotter]

for what?

because i had been using it in my QT project, and now it fails to work, and i do not have the code for it, and my attempts (many hours) have failed

the typedef for ustring?

yes

What's the relation to Qt here?

only that i've been using Qt, and thought i'd ask here

You can ... add this typedef by yourself

i tried but char_traits<unsigned char> doesn't compile any more. it did last week. but not today. the only thing i thought i did different was upgrade Qt

take a look at e.g. here

well that doesn't provide the code i need, so not useful

they say i could do typedef std::basic_string<char8_t> ustring;, but i'm on C++11 and that would require C++20

As it's a removed c++ feature (or bug?) there is no relation to Qt. Fix your code to use e.g. std::vector<uchar> or QByteArray instead.
