AK: Introduce the new String, replacement for DeprecatedString DeprecatedString (formerly String) has been with us since the start, and it has served us well. However, it has a number of shortcomings that I'd like to address. Some of these issues are hard if not impossible to solve incrementally inside of DeprecatedString, so instead of doing that, let's build a new String class and then incrementally move over to it instead. Problems in DeprecatedString: - It assumes string allocation never fails. This makes it impossible to use in allocation-sensitive contexts, and is the reason we had to ban DeprecatedString from the kernel entirely. - The awkward null state. DeprecatedString can be null. It's different from the empty state, although null strings are considered empty. All code is immediately nicer when using Optional<DeprecatedString> but DeprecatedString came before Optional, which is how we ended up like this. - The encoding of the underlying data is ambiguous. For the most part, we use it as if it's always UTF-8, but there have been cases where we pass around strings in other encodings (e.g ISO8859-1) - operator[] and length() are used to iterate over DeprecatedString one byte at a time. This is done all over the codebase, and will *not* give the right results unless the string is all ASCII. How we solve these issues in the new String: - Functions that may allocate now return ErrorOr<String> so that ENOMEM errors can be passed to the caller. - String has no null state. Use Optional<String> when needed. - String is always UTF-8. This is validated when constructing a String. We may need to add a bypass for this in the future, for cases where you have a known-good string, but for now: validate all the things! - There is no operator[] or length(). You can get the underlying data with bytes(), but for iterating over code points, you should be using an UTF-8 iterator. Furthermore, it has two nifty new features: - String implements a small string optimization (SSO) for strings that can fit entirely within a pointer. This means up to 3 bytes on 32-bit platforms, and 7 bytes on 64-bit platforms. Such small strings will not be heap-allocated. - String can create substrings without making a deep copy of the substring. Instead, the superstring gets +1 refcount from the substring, and it acts like a view into the superstring. To make substrings like this, use the substring_with_shared_superstring() API. One caveat: - String does not guarantee that the underlying data is null-terminated like DeprecatedString does today. While this was nifty in a handful of places where we were calling C functions, it did stand in the way of shared-superstring substrings.

AK+LibUnicode: Provide Unicode-aware String case transformations Since AK can't refer to LibUnicode directly, the strategy here is that if you need case transformations, you can link LibUnicode and receive them. If you try to use either of these methods without linking it, then you'll of course get a linker error (note we don't do any fallbacks to e.g. ASCII case transformations). If you don't need these methods, you don't have to link LibUnicode.

AK: Introduce the new String, replacement for DeprecatedString DeprecatedString (formerly String) has been with us since the start, and it has served us well. However, it has a number of shortcomings that I'd like to address. Some of these issues are hard if not impossible to solve incrementally inside of DeprecatedString, so instead of doing that, let's build a new String class and then incrementally move over to it instead. Problems in DeprecatedString: - It assumes string allocation never fails. This makes it impossible to use in allocation-sensitive contexts, and is the reason we had to ban DeprecatedString from the kernel entirely. - The awkward null state. DeprecatedString can be null. It's different from the empty state, although null strings are considered empty. All code is immediately nicer when using Optional<DeprecatedString> but DeprecatedString came before Optional, which is how we ended up like this. - The encoding of the underlying data is ambiguous. For the most part, we use it as if it's always UTF-8, but there have been cases where we pass around strings in other encodings (e.g ISO8859-1) - operator[] and length() are used to iterate over DeprecatedString one byte at a time. This is done all over the codebase, and will *not* give the right results unless the string is all ASCII. How we solve these issues in the new String: - Functions that may allocate now return ErrorOr<String> so that ENOMEM errors can be passed to the caller. - String has no null state. Use Optional<String> when needed. - String is always UTF-8. This is validated when constructing a String. We may need to add a bypass for this in the future, for cases where you have a known-good string, but for now: validate all the things! - There is no operator[] or length(). You can get the underlying data with bytes(), but for iterating over code points, you should be using an UTF-8 iterator. Furthermore, it has two nifty new features: - String implements a small string optimization (SSO) for strings that can fit entirely within a pointer. This means up to 3 bytes on 32-bit platforms, and 7 bytes on 64-bit platforms. Such small strings will not be heap-allocated. - String can create substrings without making a deep copy of the substring. Instead, the superstring gets +1 refcount from the substring, and it acts like a view into the superstring. To make substrings like this, use the substring_with_shared_superstring() API. One caveat: - String does not guarantee that the underlying data is null-terminated like DeprecatedString does today. While this was nifty in a handful of places where we were calling C functions, it did stand in the way of shared-superstring substrings.

How we solve these issues in the new String: - Functions that may allocate now return ErrorOr<String> so that ENOMEM errors can be passed to the caller. - String has no null state. Use Optional<String> when needed. - String is always UTF-8. This is validated when constructing a String. We may need to add a bypass for this in the future, for cases where you have a known-good string, but for now: validate all the things! - There is no operator[] or length(). You can get the underlying data with bytes(), but for iterating over code points, you should be using an UTF-8 iterator. Furthermore, it has two nifty new features: - String implements a small string optimization (SSO) for strings that can fit entirely within a pointer. This means up to 3 bytes on 32-bit platforms, and 7 bytes on 64-bit platforms. Such small strings will not be heap-allocated. - String can create substrings without making a deep copy of the substring. Instead, the superstring gets +1 refcount from the substring, and it acts like a view into the superstring. To make substrings like this, use the substring_with_shared_superstring() API. One caveat: - String does not guarantee that the underlying data is null-terminated like DeprecatedString does today. While this was nifty in a handful of places where we were calling C functions, it did stand in the way of shared-superstring substrings.

AK: Introduce the new String, replacement for DeprecatedString DeprecatedString (formerly String) has been with us since the start, and it has served us well. However, it has a number of shortcomings that I'd like to address. Some of these issues are hard if not impossible to solve incrementally inside of DeprecatedString, so instead of doing that, let's build a new String class and then incrementally move over to it instead. Problems in DeprecatedString: - It assumes string allocation never fails. This makes it impossible to use in allocation-sensitive contexts, and is the reason we had to ban DeprecatedString from the kernel entirely. - The awkward null state. DeprecatedString can be null. It's different from the empty state, although null strings are considered empty. All code is immediately nicer when using Optional<DeprecatedString> but DeprecatedString came before Optional, which is how we ended up like this. - The encoding of the underlying data is ambiguous.

However, having to use String::from_utf8() on every literal string is a bit unwieldy, so let's have these options available! Naming-wise '_string' is not as short as 'sv' but should be relatively clear; it also matches '_bigint' and '_ubigint' in length. '_short_string' may be longer than the actual string itself, but it's still an improvement over the static function :^) Since our C++ source files are UTF-8 encoded anyway, it should be impossible to create a string literal with invalid UTF-8, so including that in the name is not as important as in the function that can receive arbitrary data.
