[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.
