Detailed Description

template<size_t N>
class QStaticByteArrayMatcher< N >

The QStaticByteArrayMatcher class is a compile-time version of QByteArrayMatcher.

Since

5.9 \inmodule QtCore

This class is useful when you have a sequence of bytes that you want to repeatedly match against some byte arrays (perhaps in a loop), or when you want to search for the same sequence of bytes multiple times in the same byte array. Using a matcher object and indexIn() is faster than matching a plain QByteArray with QByteArray::indexOf(), in particular if repeated matching takes place.

Unlike QByteArrayMatcher, this class calculates the internal representation at {compile-time}, so it can even benefit if you are doing one-off byte array matches.

Create the QStaticByteArrayMatcher by calling qMakeStaticByteArrayMatcher(), passing it the C string literal you want to search for. Store the return value of that function in a {static const auto} variable, so you don't need to pass the {N} template parameter explicitly:

Then call indexIn() on the QByteArray in which you want to search, just like with QByteArrayMatcher.

Since this class is designed to do all the up-front calculations at compile-time, it does not offer a setPattern() method.

Searches the char string haystack, which has length hlen, from byte position from (default 0, i.e.

from the first byte), for the byte array pattern() that was set in the constructor.

Returns the position where the pattern() matched in haystack, or -1 if no match was found.

Return a QStaticByteArrayMatcher with the correct {N} determined automatically from the pattern passed.

To take full advantage of this function, assign the result to an {auto} variable:
