Problem:
- Many constructors are defined as `{}` rather than using the ` =
default` compiler-provided constructor.
- Some types provide an implicit conversion operator from `nullptr_t`
instead of requiring the caller to default construct. This violates
the C++ Core Guidelines suggestion to declare single-argument
constructors explicit
(https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit).
Solution:
- Change default constructors to use the compiler-provided default
constructor.
- Remove implicit conversion operators from `nullptr_t` and change
usage to enforce type consistency without conversion.
This was causing WindowServer and Taskbar to crash sometimes when the
stars aligned and we tried cutting off a string ending with "..." right
on top of an emoji. :^)
Problem:
- `typedef` is a keyword which comes from C and carries with it old
syntax that is hard to read.
- Creating type aliases with the `using` keyword allows for easier
future maintenance because it supports template syntax.
- There is inconsistent use of `typedef` vs `using`.
Solution:
- Use `clang-tidy`'s checker called `modernize-use-using` to update
the syntax to use the newer syntax.
- Remove unused functions to make `clang-tidy` happy.
- This results in consistency within the codebase.
