[Qgis-developer] setFilterExpression() does not works?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Alexander,

This seems to be related to the copy constructor of QgsExpression not
working properly. Please file a bug for this.

It's a quite complex topic, because the original expression string
cannot just be used because of dynamically created expressions. On the
other hand the dynamic method fails for certain types (longlong I think).

And personally I think that QgsExpressions could be implicitly shared,
but I've heard other opinions on this topic.

Cheers,
Matthias
