    Description

      In the initial Qt 6.0 Alpha release, the QStringConverter::encodingForData function was inserting a zero character somewhere at the start of the string:

      #include <QByteArray>
      #include <QDebug>
      #include <QStringConverter>
      
      int main()
      {
          const QByteArray bytes { "Foo bar baz" };
          qDebug() << "before:" << bytes;
          QStringConverter::encodingForData(bytes.constData(), bytes.size());
          qDebug() << "after :" << bytes;
      }
      

      output:

      before: "Foo bar baz"
      after : "Foo \x00""ar baz"
      

      See comment for updated version for the latest Qt 6.0 Alpha release, where the parameter changed to QByteArrayView, which now crashes on this example.
