How to insert a double quotes in a QString?

Re: How to insert double quotes in the contents of a QString?
The answer in the above thread is not understandable in C++ syntax. please help.
My case is simple, I want Qt to avoid putting escape sequence in QString object. see this code.

const char *s="dir=\"c:/Program Files\"";
QString qs="dir=\"c:/Program Files\"";
qDebug()<<s; // shows  dir="c:/Program Files"
qDebug()<<qs;// shows  dir=\"c:/Program Files\"

why qs added a back slash(or the escape sequence) ?

It doesn't. Just look at qs in a debugger. For some reason, qDebug() escapes inline quotes (that may be intentional, haven't investigated).

QString is fine, it's just qDebug that forces the print of escape chars. Use qDebug().noquote() << qs;

wonderful. You guys almost answered within seconds!. thank you. so qDebug() made me confused. so I will continue work peacefully. good day to you.

It's intentional, yes. There was a discussion about it, I think on the mailing list, about a year ago or so, I can't seem to dig it up though. But as far as I remember Thiago was adamant this is intended and correct behavior.
