Because of the addition of the operator T*(), the expression "it + N"
where N was not exactly qsizetype but any other integer type was a
compilation failure because of ambiguous overload resolution.
With GCC it's apparently a warning:
warning: ISO C++ says that these are ambiguous, even though the worst conversion for the first is better than the worst conversion for the second:
note: candidate 1: ‘QList<T>::iterator QList<T>::iterator::operator+(qsizetype) const [with T = char; qsizetype = long long int]’
note: candidate 2: ‘operator+(char*, ptrdiff_t {aka long int})’ (built-in)
With Clang, it's an error:
error: use of overloaded operator '+' is ambiguous (with operand types 'QList<int>::const_iterator' and 'ptrdiff_t' (aka 'long'))
note: candidate function
inline const_iterator operator+(qsizetype j) const { return const_iterator(i+j); }
note: built-in candidate operator+(const int *, long)
Pick-to: 6.2
