Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
Same as Vector, ByteBuffer now also signals allocation failure by
returning an ENOMEM Error instead of a bool, allowing us to use the
TRY() and MUST() patterns.
Currently, to append a UTF-16 view to a StringBuilder, callers must
first convert the view to UTF-8 and then append the copy. Add a UTF-16
overload so callers do not need to hold an entire copy in memory.
Previously the StringBuilder class would use memcpy() to write
directly into the ByteBuffer's buffer. Instead we should use the
append() method which ensures we don't overrun the buffer.
Previously ByteBuffer::grow() behaved like Vector<T>::resize().
However the function name was somewhat ambiguous - and so this patch
updates ByteBuffer to behave more like Vector<T> by replacing grow()
with resize() and adding an ensure_capacity() method.
This also lets the user change the buffer's capacity without affecting
the size which was not previously possible.
Additionally this patch makes the capacity() method public (again).
Previously StringBuilder would start allocating an external buffer
once the caller has used up more than half of the inline buffer's
capacity. Instead we should prefer to use the inline buffer until
it is full and only then start to allocate an external buffer.
This was removed as part of the ByteBuffer changes but the allocation
optimization is still necessary at least for non-SerenityOS targets
where malloc_good_size() isn't supported or returns a small value and
causes a whole bunch of unnecessary reallocations.
Previously ByteBuffer would internally hold a RefPtr to the byte
buffer and would behave like a reference type, i.e. copying a
ByteBuffer would not create a duplicate byte buffer, but rather
two objects which refer to the same internal buffer.
This also changes ByteBuffer so that it has some internal capacity
much like the Vector<T> type. Unlike Vector<T> however a byte
buffer's data may be uninitialized.
With this commit ByteBuffer makes use of the kmalloc_good_size()
API to pick an optimal allocation size for its internal buffer.

(...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.
This patch adds a 128-byte inline buffer that we use before switching
to using a dynamically growing ByteBuffer.
This allows us to avoid heap allocations in many cases, and totally
incidentally also speeds up @nico's favorite test, "disasm /bin/id"
more than 2x. :^)
With 0 initial capacity, we don't allocate an underlying ByteBuffer
for the StringBuilder, which would then lead to a null String() being
returned from to_string().
This patch makes sure we always build a valid String.
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.
You can now #include <AK/Forward.h> to get most of the AK types as
forward declarations.
Header dependency explosion is one of the main contributors to compile
times at the moment, so this is a step towards smaller include graphs.
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.
The former allows you to inspect the string while it's being built.
It's an explicit method rather than `operator StringView()` because
you must remember you can only look at it in between modifications;
appending to the StringBuilder invalidates the StringView.
The latter lets you clear the state of a StringBuilder explicitly, to
start from an empty string again.
