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.
The name "variables" is a bit awkward and what the directory entries are
really about is kernel configuration so let's make it clear with the new
name.
Similar to POSIX read, the basic read and write functions of AK::Stream
do not have a lower limit of how much data they read or write (apart
from "none at all").
Rename the functions to "read some [data]" and "write some [data]" (with
"data" being omitted, since everything here is reading and writing data)
to make them sufficiently distinct from the functions that ensure to
use the entire buffer (which should be the go-to function for most
usages).
No functional changes, just a lot of new FIXMEs.
This also removes DirIterator::error_string(), since the same strerror()
string will be included when you print the Error itself. Except in `ls`
which is still using fprintf() for now.
This commit moves the implementation of getopt into AK, and converts its
API to understand and use StringView instead of char*.
Everything else is caught in the crossfire of making
Option::accept_value() take a StringView instead of a char const*.
With this, we must now pass a Span<StringView> to ArgsParser::parse(),
applications using LibMain are unaffected, but anything not using that
or taking its own argc/argv has to construct a Vector<StringView> for
this method.
This generally seems like a better name, especially if we somehow also
need a better name for "read the entire buffer, but not the entire file"
somewhere down the line.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
