We essentially just end up moving `release_value_but_fixme_...` one
layer down, but it makes adding more fallible operations in the
serialization function more comfortable.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
These can be used by Model subclasses to signal the exact operations
that happened to a model, so that persistent model indices in that
area are not invalidated.
This patch adds persistent indices to models. A PersistentModelIndex is
a ModelIndex that will survive most model updates (provided that the
data the PersistentModelIndex points to has not been removed by the
model's data store). PersistentModelIndex objects can be safely held
by objects outside the model they originated from.
Most of the models were just calling did_update anyway, which is
pointless since it can be unified to the base Model class. Instead, code
calling update() will now call invalidate(), which functions identically
and is more obvious in what it does.
Additionally, a default implementation is provided, which removes the
need to add empty implementations of update() for each model subclass.
