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 :^)
This prevents us from needing a sv suffix, and potentially reduces the
need to run generic code for a single character (as contains,
starts_with, ends_with etc. for a char will be just a length and
equality check).
No functional changes.
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.
Error::from_string_literal now takes direct char const*s, while
Error::from_string_view does what Error::from_string_literal used to do:
taking StringViews. This change will remove the need to insert `sv`
after error strings when returning string literal errors once
StringView(char const*) is removed.
No functional changes.
We were doing a number of things wrong:
- Switching to the parent context in the else meant that we couldn't
break out of the else section anymore
- We were not validating the resulting values, and so the stack was
in a relatively unknown state after 'else'
This commit fixes these issues :^)
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
