What is a QString replacement?

Question

For many reasons (low performance, high resource consumption, large shared library size, large executable file sizes, and our low-level platform), my team is considering moving from Qt. As part of this, we are looking for a replacement for the QString class, which will allow a) unicode b) regular expressions c) general operations, such as getting substrings, finding a substring, length (number of characters, not bytes), concatenation, etc. It should also store strings inside UTF-8 in order to save memory (Qt uses UTF-16 or similar). It would also be great if he used the "Implicit Exchange" technique, as QString does. Is there any LGPL (or similar) ready-to-use sort class in the universe? ...

Answer 1

I would just use std :: string with Boost String Algorithms and UTF-8 CPP

Answer 2

You might want to take a look at my plis library, which does everything you asked for above, except for an implicit exchange. Cm:
