Remove QStringView's ushort support [3/3]: remove support

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The use of ushort as the scalar type to mean QChar dates back to C++98 when char16_t and char32_t did not exist, yet. Now that they do, use of the C++11 character types yields self-explanatory APIs and less implementation work (casts).

      The QStringView support for ushort characters was helpful in the run up to QTBUG-110403, but now is the time to retire it.

      Acceptance criteria:

      • QStringView (and QAnyStringView, QString, ...) API that deals in ushort for UTF-16 and in uint for UTF-32 types is removed, or at the very least fully inline and non-exported.
