In doing so, this removes all uses of the Encoder's stream operator,
except for where it is currently still used in the generated IPC code.
So the stream operator currently discards any errors, which is the
existing behavior. A subsequent commit will propagate the errors.
Currently, the generated IPC decoders will default-construct the type to
be decoded, then pass that value by reference to the concrete decoder.
This, of course, requires that the type is default-constructible. This
was an issue for decoding Variants, which had to require the first type
in the Variant list is Empty, to ensure it is default constructible.
Further, this made it possible for values to become uninitialized in
user-defined decoders.
This patch makes the decoder interface such that the concrete decoders
themselves contruct the decoded type upon return from the decoder. To do
so, the default decoders in IPC::Decoder had to be moved to the IPC
namespace scope, as these decoders are now specializations instead of
overloaded methods (C++ requires specializations to be in a namespace
scope).
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 :^)
In order to avoid the base encode/decode methods from being used (and
failing a static assertion), we must be sure to declare/define the
custom type implementations as template specializations.
After this, LibIPC is no longer sensitive to include order.
There's no need to allocate a String for these. Note the "string"
parameter of DateTime::parse is left as a String for now; the parser is
currently using strtol which needs a NUL-terminated string. This method
can likely be rewritten with GenericLexer.
The default format string is used in many applications/services like
FileManager/FileSystemAccessServer. Showing the time zone in e.g. the
last modified time for every file in FileManager is feeling a bit over
the top, so let's revert this change and assume the user is smart enough
to know what time zone they are in.
This formats the time zone name. This is now used in the default format
string because DateTime is meant to represent local time; it only makes
sense to include the time zone by default now that we support non-UTC.
Just like month, the day value here is one-based. This resulted in the
following situation, which is obviously unexpected:
Core::DateTime::create(1970); // 1970-01-00 -> 1969-12-31
DateTime can now be parsed from a string. Implements the same formatters
as strptime: https://linux.die.net/man/3/strptime (Well, some of them at
least).
