[QString] Implicit Sharing

HAWK0044

Hello. In Qt doc there is line about QByteArray and QString implicit sharing. So the question is, will QString take the reference of the byte array allocated in the stack?

I have following code, it's reading string from stream ( which is read from network), assuming string len always > 0 and < 8192

QString CPacketReader::readString(QDataStream &s){
    qint32 len = readInt(s);

    char buf[8192] = {0};
    int read = s.readRawData(buf,len);
    return QString::fromLatin1(buf,read);
}

Thank you.

No. Your code is safe. The data from the char array will be copied when the QString object is created.
