Motivation / Problem
OnQueryTextFinished
gets achar *
which in many places gets passed intoStrEmpty
.The
char *
fulfils multiple meanings; when it'snullptr
it means the window was closed and there is no string, when the string is empty (str[0] == '\0'
) this denotes the default value (also functionally; clearing the company name and then pressing OK will give you the default name), and then anything non-empty is considered valid data.Since we're moving towards a more C++-styled codebase, convert this
char *
intostd::optional<std::string>
instead.Description
Convert the parameter type of
OnQueryTextFinished
.Limitations
This introduces quite a few
->c_str()
s because many places useatoi
and friends. Replacingatoi
with a more modern variant is beyond the scope of this PR.Checklist for review
