QString use .c_str()?

[jonthom]

maybe the confusion here is my semi pseudo code:

QString str = "Some string";
const char * c_string = str.toStdString().c_str();

QString str = "Some string";
const char * c_string = str.toStdString().c_str();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

not

const char * c_string = QString().toStdString().c_str();

const char * c_string = QString().toStdString().c_str();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I agree putting the latter line into code would probably segfault or return NULL to the pointer. Sorry for the confusion.
