Hello. I am trying to use QString objects effeciently, e.g. in my app I need to convert numbers that follow some text like 'code=124253'. It is convenient to use midRef to access the string containing only the digits, but it doesn't allow to call toInt() to translate them. QStringRef's string member simply returns the pointer to the initial string, so it is useless in this case also. So, although I can access the needed data I can't use it without creating a new QString object. QStringRef seems to be a bit useless being too restricted in its functionality. Is there any way to operate with QStringRef like with QString objects, at least how to convert QStringRef to integer without additional memory allocation?
