This commit removes DeprecatedString's "null" state, and replaces all
its users with one of the following:
- A normal, empty DeprecatedString
- Optional<DeprecatedString>
Note that null states of DeprecatedFlyString/StringView/etc are *not*
affected by this commit. However, DeprecatedString::empty() is now
considered equal to a null StringView.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
These instances were detected by searching for files that include
AK/Memory.h, but don't match the regex:
\\b(fast_u32_copy|fast_u32_fill|secure_zero|timing_safe_compare)\\b
This regex is pessimistic, so there might be more files that don't
actually use any memory function.
In theory, one might use LibCPP to detect things like this
automatically, but let's do this one step after another.

AK/StdLibExtras.h, but don't match the regex:

tr|round_up_to_power_of_two|swap|to_underlying)\\b
(Without the linebreaks.)
This regex is pessimistic, so there might be more files that don't
actually use any "extra stdlib" functions.

This patch refactors StringImpl::to_{lower,upper}case to use the new
static methods StringImpl::create_{lower,upper}cased if they have to use
to create a new StringImpl. This allows implementing StringView's
to_{lower,upper}case_string using the same methods.
It also replaces the usage of hand-written to_ascii_lowercase() and
similar methods with those from CharacterTypes.h.

(...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.
When creating a StringImpl for a C string that starts with a null-byte,
we would ignore the explicitly given length and return the empty
StringImpl - presumably to check for "\0", but this leads to false
positives ("\0foo") so let's only care about the length.
FlyString is a flyweight string class that wraps a RefPtr<StringImpl>
known to be unique among the set of FlyStrings. The class is very
unoptimized at the moment.
When to use FlyString:
- When you want O(1) string comparison
- When you want to deduplicate a lot of identical strings
When not to use FlyString:
- For strings that don't need either of the above features
- For strings that are likely to be unique
Move the "fast memcpy" stuff out of StdLibExtras.h and into Memory.h.
This will break a ton of things that were relying on StdLibExtras.h
to include a bunch of other headers. Fix will follow immediately after.
This makes it possible to include StdLibExtras.h from Types.h, which is
the main point of this exercise.
This should make stuff like placement new work correctly when building
outside of Serenity. This stuff is a bit delicate due to the weirdly
staged toolchain build at the moment. Hopefully we can unify this stuff
in the future.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Using int was a mistake. This patch changes String, StringImpl,
StringView and StringBuilder to use size_t instead of int for lengths.
Obviously a lot of code needs to change as a result of this.
`AK::String` can now be reversed via AK::String::reverse(). This makes
life a lot easier for functions like `itoa()`, where the output
ends up being backwards. Very much not like the normal STL
(which requires an `std::reverse` object) way of doing things.
A call to reverse returns a new `AK::String` so as to not upset any
of the possible references to the same `StringImpl` shared between
Strings.
There's no need for a member char* m_characters if we always store them
in the inline buffer. So with this patch, we now do.
After that, rearrange the members a bit for ideal packing. :^)
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
