Because of the added complexity of *non-throwing* `new`, helper methods
for correctly constructing smart pointers were added in a previous
commit. This commit changes the documentation to recommend using these,
and adds examples to aid in correctly determining when to use
non-throwing new when manually creating smart pointers.
Components are a group of build targets that can be built and installed
separately. Whether a component should be built can be configured with
CMake arguments: -DBUILD_<NAME>=ON|OFF, where <NAME> is the name of the
component (in all caps).
Components can be marked as REQUIRED if they're necessary for a
minimally functional base system or they can be marked as RECOMMENDED
if they're not strictly necessary but are useful for most users.
A component can have an optional description which isn't used by the
build system but may be useful for a configuration UI.
Components specify the TARGETS which should be built when the component
is enabled. They can also specify other components which they depend on
(with DEPENDS).
This also adds the BUILD_EVERYTHING CMake variable which lets the user
build all optional components. For now this defaults to ON to make the
transition to the components-based build system easier.
The list of components is exported as an INI file in the build directory
(e.g. Build/i686/components.ini).
Fixes#8048.
PR #7970 added a line clarifying the requirement for QEMU 5.
Unfortunately, this location this line was added changed the meaning
of the following line, referencing the availability of GCC in Ubuntu
20.04.
QEMU 5 is not available in Ubuntu 20.04, so this change is incorrect,
as well as misleading.
These are pretty common on older LGA1366 & LGA1150 motherboards.
NOTE: Since the registers datasheets for all versions of the chip
besides versions 1 - 3 are still under NDAs i had to collect
several "magical vendor constants" from the *BSD driver and the
linux driver that i was not able to name verbosely, and as such
these are labeled with the comment "vendor magic values".
This is a fairly small change; removed the statement "Pointer and
reference types in C++ code" as it does not provide any additional
knowledge that contributors are or will be aware of after further
reading into the "Pointers and References" section. It seems
unnecessary and redundant given the sentence adjacent to it.
Unfortunately we cannot enforce this with clang-format yet, as that
feature is not available. Until then, let's try to write new code
with this in mind, and convert old code as we go.
This option replaces the use of ENABLE_ALL_THE_DEBUG_MACROS in CI runs,
and enables all debug options that might be broken by developers
unintentionally that are only used in specific debugging situations.
When debugging kernel code, it's necessary to set extra flags. Normal
advice is to set -ggdb3. Sometimes that still doesn't provide enough
debugging information for complex functions that still get optimized.
Compiling with -Og gives the best optimizations for debugging, but can
sometimes be broken by changes that are innocuous when the compiler gets
more of a chance to look at them. The new CMake option enables both
compile options for kernel code.
This only tests "can it be parsed", but the goal of this commit is to
provide a test framework that can be built upon :)
The conformance tests are downloaded, compiled* and installed only if
the INCLUDE_WASM_SPEC_TESTS cmake option is enabled.
(*) Since we do not yet have a wast parser, the compilation is delegated
to an external tool from binaryen, `wasm-as`, which is required for the
test suite download/install to succeed.
This *does* run the tests in CI, but it currently does not include the
spec conformance tests.
This was hiding on the serenityos.org website previously, where not
many people found it. Let's put it in a more natural location, and
also make sure to link to it from the README.
The current ProtocolServer was really only used for requests, and with
the recent introduction of the WebSocket service, long-lasting
connections with another server are not part of it. To better reflect
this, this commit renames it to RequestServer.
This commit also changes the existing 'protocol' portal to 'request',
the existing 'protocol' user and group to 'request', and most mentions
of the 'download' aspect of the request to 'request' when relevant, to
make everything consistent across the system.
Note that LibProtocol still exists as-is, but the more generic Client
class and the more specific Download class have both been renamed to a
more accurate RequestClient and Request to match the new names.
This commit only change names, not behaviors.

This command line flag can be used to disable VirtIO support on
certain configurations (native windows) where interfacing with
virtio devices can cause qemu to freeze.
Helps with bare metal debugging, as we can't be sure our implementation
will work with a given machine.
As reported by someone on Discord, their machine hangs when we attempt
the dummy transfer.
