      The code fails on 64-bit platforms:

      QByteArray ba;
const QString str =  ~~~ more than 2Gi characters ~~~;
QDataStream(&ba) << str;
QString restored;
QDataStream(ba) >> restored;
assert(restored == str);

      Ditto all other containers.

      The problem seems to be that the serialisation format only allocates a four-octet length field.

      There doesn't appear to be something you can do, unless you change the format to include a longer length indicator.
