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.
Xcode 15 betas 1-3 lack https://reviews.llvm.org/D135772, which fixes a
bug that causes trailing `requires` clauses to be evaluated twice,
failing the second time. Reported as FB12284201.
This caused compile errors when instantiating types derived from RefPtr:
> error: invalid reference to function 'NonnullRefPtr': constraints not
> satisfied
> note: because substituted constraint expression is ill-formed: value
> of type '<dependent type>' is not contextually convertible to 'bool'.
This commit works around the issue by moving the `requires` clauses
after the template parameter list.
In most cases, trailing `requires` clauses and those specified after the
template parameter list work identically, so this change should not
impact the code's behavior. The only difference is that trailing
requires clauses are evaluated *after* constrained placeholder types
(i.e. `Integral auto i` function parameter).
We now null out smart pointers *before* calling unref on the pointee.
This ensures that the same smart pointer can't be used to acquire a new
reference to the pointee after its destruction has begun.
I ran into this when destroying a non-empty IntrusiveList of RefPtrs,
but the problem was more general so this fixes it for all of RefPtr,
NonnullRefPtr, OwnPtr and NonnullOwnPtr.
Until now, it was possible to assign a RP<T const> or NNRP<T const>
to RP<T> or NNRP<T>. This meant that the constness of the T was lost.
We had a lot of code that relied on this sloppiness, and by the time
you see this commit, I hopefully found and fixed all of it. :^)
`OwnPtrWithCustomDeleter` was a decorator which provided the ability
to add a custom deleter to `OwnPtr` by wrapping and taking the deleter
as a run-time argument to the constructor. This solution means that no
additional space is needed for the `OwnPtr` because it doesn't need to
store a pointer to the deleter, but comes at the cost of having an
extra type that stores a pointer for every instance.
This logic is moved directly into `OwnPtr` by adding a template
argument that is defaulted to the default deleter for the type. This
means that the type itself stores the pointer to the deleter instead
of every instance and adds some type safety by encoding the deleter in
the type itself instead of taking a run-time argument.
Note that this still keeps the old behaviour of putting things in std by
default on serenity so the tools can be happy, but if USING_AK_GLOBALLY
is unset, AK behaves like a good citizen and doesn't try to put things
in the ::std namespace.
std::nothrow_t and its friends get to stay because I'm being told that
compilers assume things about them and I can't yeet them into a
different namespace...for now.
This patch adds the `USING_AK_GLOBALLY` macro which is enabled by
default, but can be overridden by build flags.
This is a step towards integrating Jakt and AK types.
Even if the pointer value is const, the value they point to is not
necessarily const, so these functions should not add the qualifier.
This also removes the redundant non-const implementations of these
operators.
C++20 can automatically synthesize `operator!=` from `operator==`, so
there is no point in writing such functions by hand if all they do is
call through to `operator==`.
This fixes a compile error with compilers that implement P2468 (Clang
16 currently). This paper restores the C++17 behavior that if both
`T::operator==(U)` and `T::operator!=(U)` exist, `U == T` won't be
rewritten in reverse to call `T::operator==(U)`. Removing `!=` operators
makes the rewriting possible again.

Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
This makes it an error to not do something with a returned smart
pointer, which should help prevent mistakes. In cases where you do need
to ignore the value, casting to void will placate the compiler.
I did have to add comments to disable clang-format on a couple of lines,
where it wanted to format the code like this:
```c++
private : NonnullRefPtr() = delete;
```
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.
While I was working on LibWeb, I got a page fault at 0xe0e0e0e4.
This indicates a destroyed RefPtr if compiled with SANITIZE_PTRS
defined. However, the page fault handler didn't print out this
indication.
This makes the page fault handler print out a note if the faulting
address looks like a recently destroyed RefPtr, OwnPtr, NonnullRefPtr,
NonnullOwnPtr, ThreadSafeRefPtr or ThreadSafeNonnullRefPtr. It will
only do this if SANITIZE_PTRS is defined, as smart pointers don't get
scrubbed without it being defined.
Some time ago, automatic locking was added to the AK smart pointers to
paper over various race conditions in the kernel. Until we've actually
solved the issues in the kernel, we're stuck with the locking.
However, we don't need to punish single-threaded userspace programs with
the high cost of locking. This patch moves the thread-safe variants of
RefPtr, NonnullRefPtr, WeakPtr and RefCounted into Kernel/Library/.
This commit moves the KResult and KResultOr objects to Kernel/API to
signify that they may now be freely used by userspace code at points
where a syscall-related error result is to be expected. It also exposes
KResult and KResultOr to the global namespace to make it nicer to use
for userspace code.
Our existing implementation did not check the element type of the other
pointer in the constructors and move assignment operators. This meant
that some operations that would require explicit casting on raw pointers
were done implicitly, such as:
- downcasting a base class to a derived class (e.g. `Kernel::Inode` =>
`Kernel::ProcFSDirectoryInode` in Kernel/ProcFS.cpp),
- casting to an unrelated type (e.g. `Promise<bool>` => `Promise<Empty>`
in LibIMAP/Client.cpp)
This, of course, allows gross violations of the type system, and makes
the need to type-check less obvious before downcasting. Luckily, while
adding the `static_ptr_cast`s, only two truly incorrect usages were
found; in the other instances, our casts just needed to be made
explicit.
And also try_create<T> => try_make_ref_counted<T>.
A global "create" was a bit much. The new name matches make<T> better,
which we've used for making single-owner objects since forever.
Aggregate initialization with brace-enclosed parameters is a
[C++20 feature][1] not yet implemented by Clang. This caused compile
errors if we tried to use the factory functions to create smart pointers
to aggregates.
As a (temporary) fix, [the LWG's previously proposed solution][2] is
implemented by this commit.
Now, wherever it's not possible to direct-initialize, aggregate
initialization is performed.

These functions abstract away the need to call the proper new operator
("throwing" or "non-throwing") and manually adopt the resulting raw
pointer. Modelled after the existing `NonnullOwnPtr<T> make()`
functions, these forward their parameters to the object's constructor.
Note: These can't be used in the common "factory method" idiom, as
private constructors can't be called from a standalone function.
The naming is consistent with AK's and Shell's previous implementation
of these:
- `make` creates a `NonnullOwnPtr<T>` and aborts if the allocation could
not be performed.
- `try_make` creates an `OwnPtr<T>`, which may be null if the allocation
failed.
- `create` creates a `NonnullRefPtr<T>`, and aborts on allocation
failure.
- `try_create` creates a `RefPtr<T>`, which may be null if the
allocation was not successful.
Other software might not expect these to be defined and behave
differently if they _are_ defined, e.g. scummvm which checks if
the TODO macro is defined and fails to build if it is.
Unfortunately adopt_ref requires a reference, which obviously does not
work well with when attempting to harden against allocation failure.
The adopt_ref_if_nonnull() variant will allow you to avoid using bare
pointers, while still allowing you to handle allocation failure.
Also, the PeekType of smart pointers is now T* instead of const T*.
Note: This commit doesn't compile, it breaks HashMap::get() for some
types. Fixed in the next commit.

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. :^)
Alot of code is shared between i386/i686/x86 and x86_64
and a lot probably will be used for compatability modes.
So we start by moving the headers into one Directory.
We will probalby be able to move some cpp files aswell.
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
Problem:
- Many constructors are defined as `{}` rather than using the ` =
default` compiler-provided constructor.
- Some types provide an implicit conversion operator from `nullptr_t`
instead of requiring the caller to default construct. This violates
the C++ Core Guidelines suggestion to declare single-argument
constructors explicit
(https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit).
Solution:
- Change default constructors to use the compiler-provided default
constructor.
- Remove implicit conversion operators from `nullptr_t` and change
usage to enforce type consistency without conversion.
Problem:
- `typedef` is a keyword which comes from C and carries with it old
syntax that is hard to read.
- Creating type aliases with the `using` keyword allows for easier
future maintenance because it supports template syntax.
- There is inconsistent use of `typedef` vs `using`.
Solution:
- Use `clang-tidy`'s checker called `modernize-use-using` to update
the syntax to use the newer syntax.
- Remove unused functions to make `clang-tidy` happy.
- This results in consistency within the codebase.
This makes most operations thread safe, especially so that they
can safely be used in the Kernel. This includes obtaining a strong
reference from a weak reference, which now requires an explicit
call to WeakPtr::strong_ref(). Another major change is that
Weakable::make_weak_ref() may require the explicit target type.
Previously we used reinterpret_cast in WeakPtr, assuming that it
can be properly converted. But WeakPtr does not necessarily have
the knowledge to be able to do this. Instead, we now ask the class
itself to deliver a WeakPtr to the type that we want.
Also, WeakLink is no longer specific to a target type. The reason
for this is that we want to be able to safely convert e.g. WeakPtr<T>
to WeakPtr<U>, and before this we just reinterpret_cast the internal
WeakLink<T> to WeakLink<U>, which is a bold assumption that it would
actually produce the correct code. Instead, WeakLink now operates
on just a raw pointer and we only make those constructors/operators
available if we can verify that it can be safely cast.
In order to guarantee thread safety, we now use the least significant
bit in the pointer for locking purposes. This also means that only
properly aligned pointers can be used.
