Lambda expressions with uncaptured constants were leading to errors,
and there were also some warnings about deprecated functions
(QFontMetrics::width and inet_ntoa).
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
At its only usage point, its return value is stored into a u32, and the
default implementation returns 0xFFFFFFFF (-1), which would be an
unsigned integer. Given all of the bits are used to determine a color,
it makes slightly more sense to treat this as an unsigned value as
opposed to a signed one.
* Use font based sizing for row height. Fits more rows on screen.
* Adds whitespace for better formatting and minimum column width.
Helps prevent frequent resizing while scrolling.
