Just because we may compile serenity with or without NDEBUG doesn't
mean that consuming projects or Ports will share the setting.
Always define the custom assertion function so that we don't have to
keep the same debug settings between all projects.
This API is only used by Jakt to implement weak reference unwrapping.
By making it return a NonnullRefPtr, it can be assigned to anything
that accepts a NonnullRefPtr, unlike the previous T* return type (since
that can also be null).
Template argument are checked to ensure that the `Out` type is equal or
convertible to the type returned by the invokee.
Compilation now fails on:
`Function<void()> f = []() -> int { return 0; };`
But this is allowed:
`Function<ErrorOr<int>()> f = []() -> int { return 0; };`
Pretty much no other read function does this, and getting rid of the
typename template parameter for the stream makes the transition to the
new AK::Stream a bit easier.
Similar to the return values earlier, a signed value doesn't really make
sense here. Relying on the much more standard `size_t` makes it easier
to use Stream in all contexts.
Quick select is an algorithm that is able to find the median
of a Vector without fully sorting it.
This replaces the old very naive implementation
for `AK::Statistics::median()` with `AK::quickselect_inline`
This adds the quick select algorithm that finds
the kth smallest element for any collection.
Whilst doing so it also partially sorts the collection.
I have also included the option to use different pivoting functions
including median of medians which makes the quick select have
a truely linear time complexity at the costs of enormous overhead,
so this that only really useful for really large datasets.
The same was chosen to reflect the fact that it modifies
the collection in place during the selection process.
The AnyString concept is currently broken because it checks whether a
StringView is constructible from a type T. The StringView constructors,
however, only accept constant rvalue references - i.e. `T const&`.
This also adds a test to ensure this continues to work.
`Stream` will be qualified as `AK::Stream` until we remove the
`Core::Stream` namespace. `IODevice` now reuses the `SeekMode` that is
defined by `SeekableStream`, since defining its own would require us to
qualify it with `AK::SeekMode` everywhere.
Having an alias function that only wraps another one is silly, and
keeping the more obvious name should flush out more uses of deprecated
strings.
No behavior change.
