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.
Previously, when deallocating a range of VM, we would sort and merge
the range list. This was quite slow for large processes.
This patch optimizes VM deallocation in the following ways:
- Use binary search instead of linear scan to find the place to insert
the deallocated range.
- Insert at the right place immediately, removing the need to sort.
- Merge the inserted range with any adjacent range(s) in-line instead
of doing a separate merge pass into a list copy.
- Add Traits<Range> to inform Vector that Range objects are trivial
and can be moved using memmove().
I've also added an assertion that deallocated ranges are actually part
of the RangeAllocator's initial address range.
I've benchmarked this using g++ to compile Kernel/Process.cpp.
With these changes, compilation goes from ~41 sec to ~35 sec.
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.
This removes an item at an index without preserving the sort order of
the Vector.
This enables constant-time removal from unsorted Vectors, as it avoids
shifting all of the entries following the removed one.
This can definitely be improved with better trivial type detection and
by using the TypedTransfer template in more places.
It's a bit annoying that we can't get <type_traits> in Vector.h since
it's included in the toolchain compilation before we have libstdc++.
This is a complement to append() that works by constructing the new
element in-place via placement new and forwarded constructor arguments.
The STL calls this emplace_back() which looks ugly, so I'm inventing
a nice word for it instead. :^)
It's not possible to grow one of these vectors beyond what's already in them
since it's not possible to default-construct Nonnull{Own,Ref}Ptr.
Add Vector::shrink() which can be used when you want to shrink the Vector
and delete resize() from the specialized Vectors.
This allows you to do things like:
vector.insert_before_matching(value, [](auto& entry) {
return value < entry;
});
Basically it scans until it finds an element that matches the condition
callback and then inserts the new value before the matching element.
This is prep work for supporting HashMap with NonnullRefPtr<T> as values.
It's currently not possible because many HashTable functions require being
able to default-construct the value type.
The LibC build is a bit complicated, since the toolchain depends on it.
During the toolchain bootstrap, after we've built parts of GCC, we have
to stop and build Serenity's LibC, so that the rest of GCC can use it.
This means that during that specific LibC build, we don't yet have access
to things like std::initializer_list.
For now we solve this by defining SERENITY_LIBC_BUILD during the LibC
build and excluding the Vector/initializer_list support inside LibC.
This is a slot-in convenience replacement for Vector<NonnullRefPtr<T>> that
makes accessors return T& instead of NonnullRefPtr<T>&.
Since NonnullRefPtr guarantees non-nullness, this allows you to access these
vector elements using dot (.) rather than arrow (->). :^)
Put together a pretty well-performing queue using a Vector and an offset.
By using the new Vector::shift_left(int) instead of Vector::take_first()
we can avoid shifting the vector contents every time and instead only
do it every so often.
Maybe this could be generalized into a separate class, I'm not sure if it's
the best algorithm though, it's just what I came up with right now. :^)
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
It was depressing not being able to capture anything when passing a lambda
to qsort_r() so let's just have our own QuickSort. I was gonna have to do
this eventually anyway. :^)
