Description
This is a follow up for QTBUG-102334.
The mentioned bugreport suggests to set the file encoding via
settings.setIniCodec("UTF-8");
in the Qt5 application. This works mostly, but sadly not always. There are race conditions, where QSettings is instanciated from various places, and it want's to do something with the settings right now - before I've a chance to set the ini codec at all.
1 operator<< qtimezone.cpp 980 0x7ffff2338a2a 2 operator<< qdatetime.cpp 5737 0x7ffff232e129 3 (anonymous namespace)::FilteredOperatorSwitch<QDateTime, true>::save qmetatype.cpp 1466 0x7ffff2455ce0 4 (anonymous namespace)::SaveOperatorSwitch::delegate<QDateTime> qmetatype.cpp 1508 0x7ffff2455ce0 5 QMetaTypeSwitcher::switcher<bool, (anonymous namespace)::SaveOperatorSwitch> qmetatypeswitcher_p.h 74 0x7ffff2455ce0 6 QMetaType::save qmetatype.cpp 1616 0x7ffff2455ce0 7 QVariant::save qvariant.cpp 2599 0x7ffff24875b0 8 operator<< qvariant.cpp 2625 0x7ffff248779f 9 QSettingsPrivate::variantToString qsettings.cpp 460 0x7ffff23c83a9 10 QConfFileSettingsPrivate::writeIniFile qsettings.cpp 1897 0x7ffff23cdb0a 11 QConfFileSettingsPrivate::syncConfFile qsettings.cpp 1515 0x7ffff23ce85a 12 QConfFileSettingsPrivate::sync qsettings.cpp 1367 0x7ffff23ceb93 13 QSettings::~QSettings qsettings.cpp 2763 0x7ffff23c42a6 14 QSettings::~QSettings qsettings.cpp 2768 0x7ffff23c42c9 15 std::default_delete<QSettings>::operator() unique_ptr.h 79 0xad3847 16 std::unique_ptr<QSettings, std::default_delete<QSettings>>::~unique_ptr unique_ptr.h 361 0xad3847 ... <More>
In this case, it would be good to have some static way to set the ini codec, while the application is being initialized.
So there's still no chance to run both Qt5 / Qt6 dev at the same time.
