FText::GetEmpty
#include "Internationalization/Text.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: static
Description
Returns a reference to the statically-allocated empty FText singleton, avoiding heap allocation for the common case of an empty text value.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns a const reference to a global singleton — do not store the reference itself, as it is valid for the lifetime of the program. Copy the returned value if you need a mutable FText.
- • Prefer FText::GetEmpty() over FText() when you explicitly mean "no text"; both are empty but GetEmpty() signals intent more clearly and is cheaper (no allocation).
