<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px; color: #74777D;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">I admit "making them const as needed" is badly phrased; I meant whether the container iterated-over is const to begin with, or can be made const in the range-for to avoid a detach/deep-copy ... etc, depending on the code and what it does. The same for the first argument of the range-for loop.</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">The "addition"/change I was mainly talking about is the micro-optimization of not calling toString() twice; I think such basic coding practice changes are OK in this context.</p></div></div>
<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">Still unsure what you mean with the constness, as the QHash <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">shortcuts</tt> has been const all the time, and thus the access methods and its returned references. If you meant the initially proposed <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">const QKeySequence &seq = it.key();</tt> that was just an alias reference to something const ref before (<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">it.key()</tt>), whose idea was to not touch the other existing code as well as make it more obvious to the code reader what <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">it.key()</tt> is. It did not change any constness.</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">Back to your original comment:<br />
So here my 2 penny collected over decades: avoid that. One change/aspect at a time. No additional clean-up., as basic as it is (even no whitespace changes, unless line touched anyway).</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The commit message might miss to mention that change, or make it more complicated to read because it lists all the while-at-it changes.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">There are no obvious changes, unless documented. What is clear to the commit creator, might be unclear to the commit reader, as they have another context</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Line-wise commit annotation mark-up will be set for lines which are changed while not relevant for the actual main change (which only would be mentioned in the commit message first line/title)</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">One is concentrated on the main change, and might miss important details relevant to that other change, and introduce regressions.</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">You may discard these 2 penny of mine, but let's talk again in some years ;) Better though ask the search engine for what other people recommend as best commit practice & compare. Still you are free to collect your own experience: if young people only did what old people tell them, new discoveries would never be made ;) But most of the times...</p></div></div></div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R263 KXmlGui</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D23813">https://phabricator.kde.org/D23813</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>kossebau, dfaure<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>ahmadsamir, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, GB_2, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
