Saving strings with embedded zero-bytes (\0) as CFStrings would
sometimes fail, and only write the part of the string leading
up to the first zero-byte, instead of all the way to the final
zero-terminator. This bug was revealed by the code-path that
falls back to storing e.g. QTime as strings, via the helper
method QSettingsPrivate::variantToString().
We now use the same approach as on platforms such as Windows
and WinRT, where the string produced by variantToString() is
checked for null-bytes, and if so, stored using a binary
representation instead of as a string. For our case that
means we fall back to CFData when detecting the null-byte.
To separate strings from regular byte arrays, new logic has
been added to variantToString() that wraps the null-byte
strings in @String(). That way we can implement a fast-path
when converting back from CFData, that doesn't go via the
slow and lossy conversion via UTF8, and the resulting QVariant
will be of type QVariant::ByteArray. The reason for using
UTF-8 as the binary representation of the string is that
in the case of storing a QByteArray("@foo") we need to
still be able to convert it back to the same byte array,
which doesn't work if the on-disk format is UTF-16.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
