QString::toShort(.) erroneously accepts and truncates values

QString::toShort(.) accepts values it should not accept and can give wrong results.

Example:

QString str("100007FFF");
bool ok;
short hex = str.toShort(&ok, 16);

After the call to QString::toShort(.), ok is true, and hex is 0x7FFF (i.e., 0x100007FFF apparently was truncated to 0x7FFF). The conversion using QString::toShort(.) should have failed instead of returning a wrong value.

What happens is that QString::toShort(.) uses QString::toLongLong(.), but stores the result of the call to QString::toLongLong(.) in a long, thereby truncating it. Furthermore, QString::toShort(.) does not check whether the call to QString::toLongLong(.) actually succeeded.
