Add this to your .pro file:

DEFINES += QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII

All your encoding issues will pop up as compilation errors.

The reason that is not enabled by default is that it also shows as 
compilation errors many things that you know to be right. But it's a good 
practice to clean up your code of Unicode issues.
