If we're sharing buffers, we only want to share trivial structures
as anything else could potentially share internal pointers, which
most likely is going to cause problems due to different address
spaces.
Fix the GUI::SystemTheme structure, which was not trivial, which
is now caught at compile time.
Fixes#3650
The problem with our test suite is that it can't detect if a test
failed. When a test fails we simply write 'FAIL ...' to stderr and move
on.
Previously, the test suite would list all tests as passing regardless
how many assertions failed. In the future it might be smart to implement
this properly but test suites for C++ are always hard to do nicely.
(Because C++ execution isn't meant to be embedded.)
It's now save to pass a signed integer as parameter and then use it as
replacement field (previously, this would just cast it to size_t which
would be bad.)
This finally takes care of the kind-of excessive boilerplate code that were the
ctype adapters. On the other hand, I had to link `LibC/ctype.cpp` to the Kernel
(for `AK/JsonParser.cpp` and `AK/Format.cpp`). The previous commit actually makes
sense now: the `string.h` includes in `ctype.{h,cpp}` would require to link more LibC
stuff to the Kernel when it only needs the `_ctype_` array of `ctype.cpp`, and there
wasn't any string stuff used in ctype.
Instead of all this I could have put static derivatives of `is_any_of()` in the
concerned AK files, however that would have meant more boilerplate and workarounds;
so I went for the Kernel approach.
Since commit 1ec59f28ce turns the ctype macros
into functions we can now feed them directly to a GenericLexer! This will lead to
removing the ctype adapters that were kind-of excessive boilerplate, but needed as
the Kernel doesn't compile with the LibC.
I put this into the <AK/PrintfImplementation.h> header in the hope that
it could be re-used by the printf implementation. That would not be
super trivial though, so I am not doing that now.
The `consume_quoted_string()` can now take an escape character. This allows it
(for example) to capture a string's enclosing quotes. The escape character is
optional by default.
You can also consume and unescape a quoted string with the eponymous method
`consume_and_unescape_string()`. It takes an escape character as parameter
(backslash by default). It builds a String in which common escape sequences
get... unescaped :^) (e.g. \n, \r, \t...).
Instead of just implementing format specifiers ad-hog this commit
implements the exact syntax std::format uses.
There are still a ton of features that are not supported by this
implementation, however, the format specifiers should be parsed
correctly.
In some cases however, the format specifiers aren't quite parsed
correctly, for example:
String::formatted("{:{}}", 42, 4)
should produce the string " 42" however an (unrelated) assertion fails.
This is because vformat doesn't consider nested parentheses. I have to
spend some time coming up with a simple way of doing this, I don't feel
like doing that right now.
The fundamental code for this already exists, by limiting the number of
format arguments (arbitrarily) to 256 large widths are used to encode
that these should be taken from other format parameters.
With this commit, <AK/Format.h> has a more supportive role and isn't
used directly.
Essentially, there now is a public 'vformat' function ('v' for vector)
which takes already type erased parameters. The name is choosen to
indicate that this function behaves similar to C-style functions taking
a va_list equivalent.
The interface for frontend users are now 'String::formatted' and
'StringBuilder::appendff'.
Two things I hate about C++:
1. 'int', 'signed int' and 'unsigned int' are two distinct types while
'char, 'signed char' and 'unsigned char' are *three* distinct types.
This is because 'signed int' is an alias for 'int' but 'signed char'
can't be an alias for 'char' because on some weird systems 'char' is
unsigned.
One might think why not do it the other way around, make 'int' an
alias for 'signed int' and 'char' an alias for whatever that is on
the platform, or make 'char' signed on all platforms. But who am I
to ask?
2. 'unsigned long' and 'unsigned long long' are always different types,
even if both are 64 bit numbers.
This commit fixes a few bugs that coming from this.

This function is not avaliable in the kernel.
In the future it would be nice to have some sort of <charconv> header
that does this for all integer types and then call it in strtoull and et
cetera.
The difference would be that this function say 'from_chars' would return
an Optional and not just interpret anything invalid as zero.
There are three classes avaliable that share the functionality of
BufferStream:
1. InputMemoryStream is for reading from static buffers. Example:
Bytes input = /* ... */;
InputMemoryStream stream { input };
LittleEndian<u32> little_endian_value;
input >> little_endian_value;
u32 host_endian_value;
input >> host_endian_value;
SomeComplexStruct complex_struct;
input >> Bytes { &complex_struct, sizeof(complex_struct) };
2. OutputMemoryStream is for writing to static buffers. Example:
Array<u8, 4096> buffer;
OutputMemoryStream stream;
stream << LittleEndian<u32> { 42 };
stream << ReadonlyBytes { &complex_struct, sizeof(complex_struct) };
foo(stream.bytes());
3. DuplexMemoryStream for writing to dynamic buffers, can also be used
as an intermediate buffer by reading from it directly. Example:
DuplexMemoryStream stream;
stream << NetworkOrdered<u32> { 13 };
stream << NetowkrOrdered<u64> { 22 };
NetworkOrdered<u32> value;
stream >> value;
ASSERT(value == 13);
foo(stream.copy_into_contiguous_buffer());
Unlike BufferStream these streams do not use a fixed endianness
(BufferStream used little endian) these have to be explicitly specified.
There are helper types in <AK/Endian.h>.
OutputMemoryStream was originally a proxy for DuplexMemoryStream that
did not expose any reading API.
Now I need to add another class that is like OutputMemoryStream but only
for static buffers. My first idea was to make OutputMemoryStream do that
too, but I think it's much better to have a distinct class for that.
I originally wanted to call that class FixedOutputMemoryStream but that
name is really cumbersome and it's a bit unintuitive because
InputMemoryStream is already reading from a fixed buffer.
So let's just use DuplexMemoryStream instead of OutputMemoryStream for
any dynamic stuff and create a new OutputMemoryStream for static
buffers.
Consider the following snippet:
void foo(InputStream& stream) {
if(!stream.eof()) {
u8 byte;
stream >> byte;
}
}
There is a very subtle bug in this snippet, for some input streams eof()
might return false even if no more data can be read. In this case an
error flag would be set on the stream.
Until now I've always ensured that this is not the case, but this made
the implementation of eof() unnecessarily complicated.
InputFileStream::eof had to keep a ByteBuffer around just to make this
possible. That meant a ton of unnecessary copies just to get a reliable
eof().
In most cases it isn't actually necessary to have a reliable eof()
implementation.
In most other cases a reliable eof() is avaliable anyways because in
some cases like InputMemoryStream it is very easy to implement.
This makes PrintfImplementation usable with any sequence, provided that
a 'next element' function can be written for it.
Does not affect the behaviour of printf() and co.
It wasn't actually possible to call
const LogStream& operator<<(const LogStream&, ReadonlyBytes);
because it was shadowed by
template<typename T>
const LogStream& operator<<(const LogStream& stream, Span<T> span);
not sure how I didn't find this when I added the overload.
It would be possible to use SFINAE to disable the other overload,
however, I think it is better to use a different method entirely because
the output can be very verbose:
void dump_bytes(ReadonlyBytes);
