The order of precedence with the `*` operator sometimes makes it a bit
harder to detect whether or not the result is actually used. Let's fail
compilation if anyone tries to discard the result.
This requires pulling in some of the STL, but the result is that our
iterator is now STL Approved ™️ and our containers can be
auto-conformed to Swift protocols.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
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 this particular case, auto is a footgun, because we are very
certain about the type that we want to return. const-correctness
could have been violated (as Vector did), because Iterator did not
enforce that the returned pointer was actually const if the Iterator
was an Iterator over a const container.
This commit makes it possible to instantiate `Vector<T&>` and use it
to store references to `T` in a vector.
All non-pointer observers are made to return the reference, and the
pointer observers simply yield the underlying pointer.
Note that the 'find_*' methods act on the values and not the pointers
that are stored in the vector.
This commit also makes errors in various vector methods much more
readable by directly using requires-clauses on them.
And finally, it should be noted that Vector cannot hold temporaries :^)

This commit makes the user-facing StdLibExtras templates and utilities
arguably more nice-looking by removing the need to reach into the
wrapper structs generated by them to get the value/type needed.
The C++ standard library had to invent `_v` and `_t` variants (likely
because of backwards compat), but we don't need to cater to any codebase
except our own, so might as well have good things for free. :^)
- The change to quick_sort requires SimpleIterator to support
assignment.
- Rename quick_sort to single_pivot_quick_sort to make it easier
to choose a specific implementation (not based on signature).
- Ensure single_pivot_quick_sort does not copy the pivots
- Expand sorts_without_copy test case to cover both single and dual
pivot implementations.
This gives the compiler enough information to optimize index validation
when using range-for to iterate over a Vector, drastically reducing the
cost of such loops.
