`static const` variables can be computed and initialized at run-time
during initialization or the first time a function is called. Change
them to `static constexpr` to ensure they are computed at
compile-time.
This allows some removal of `strlen` because the length of the
`StringView` can be used which is pre-computed at compile-time.
The format of these names is "Full Abbreviation (.fileformat)". For
example: "FLAC (.flac)", "RIFF WAVE (.wav)", "MPEG Layer III (.mp3)",
"Vorbis (.ogg)" The reasoning is that the container and therefore the
file ending may differ significantly from the actual format, and the
format should be given as unambiguously as possible and necessary.
Previously, a libc-like out-of-line error information was used in the
loader and its plugins. Now, all functions that may fail to do their job
return some sort of Result. The universally-used error type ist the new
LoaderError, which can contain information about the general error
category (such as file format, I/O, unimplemented features), an error
description, and location information, such as file index or sample
index.
Additionally, the loader plugins try to do as little work as possible in
their constructors. Right after being constructed, a user should call
initialize() and check the errors returned from there. (This is done
transparently by Loader itself.) If a constructor caused an error, the
call to initialize should check and return it immediately.
This opportunity was used to rework a lot of the internal error
propagation in both loader classes, especially FlacLoader. Therefore, a
couple of other refactorings may have sneaked in as well.
The adoption of LibAudio users is minimal. Piano's adoption is not
important, as the code will receive major refactoring in the near future
anyways. SoundPlayer's adoption is also less important, as changes to
refactor it are in the works as well. aplay's adoption is the best and
may serve as an example for other users. It also includes new buffering
behavior.
Buffer also gets some attention, making it OOM-safe and thereby also
propagating its errors to the user.
This fixes all current code smells, bugs and issues reported by
SonarCloud static analysis. Other issues are almost exclusively false
positives. This makes much code clearer, and some minor benefits in
performance or bug evasion may be gained.
Previously, error_string() returned char* which is bad Serenity style
and caused issues when other error handling methods were tried. As both
WavLoader and (future) FLAC loader store a String internally for the
error message, it makes sense to return a String reference instead.
Prior code in `WavLoader::get_more_samples()` would attempt to
read the requested number of samples without actually checking
whether that many samples were remaining in the stream.
This was the cause of an audible pop at the end of a track, due
to reading non-audio data that is sometimes at the end of a Wave file.
Now we only attempt to read up to the end of sample data, but no
further.
Also, added comments to clarify the meaning of "sample", and how it
should be independent of the number of channels.
This fixes a bug where if you try to play a Wave file a second
time (or loop with `aplay -l`), the second time will be pure
noise.
The function `Audio::Loader::seek` is meant to seek to a specific
audio sample, e.g. seek(0) should go to the first audio sample.
However, WavLoader was interpreting seek(0) as the beginning
of the file or stream, which contains non-audio header data.
This fixes the bug by capturing the byte offset of the start of the
audio data, and offseting the raw file/stream seek by that amount.
LibAudio's WavLoader plugin for loading WAV files now supports loading
audio files with 32-bit float or 64-bit float samples.
By supporting these new non-int sample formats, Audio::Buffer now stores
the sample format (out of a list of supported formats) instead of the
raw bit depth. (The bit depth is easily calculated with
pcm_bits_per_sample)

A C++ source file containing just
#include <LibFoo/Bar.h>
should always compile cleanly.
This patch adds missing header inclusions that could have caused weird error
messages if they were used in a different context. Also, this confused QtCreator.
