This is a set of functions that allow you to convert between arbitrary
IEEE 754 floating point types, as long as they can be represented
within 64 bits. Conversion methods between floats and doubles are
provided, as well as a generic `float_to_float()`.
Example usage:
#include <AK/FloatingPoint.h>
double val = 1.234;
auto weird_f16 =
convert_from_native_double<FloatingPointBits<0, 6, 10>>(val);
Signed and unsigned floats are supported, and both NaN and +/-Inf are
handled correctly. Values that do not fit in the target floating point
type are clamped.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
Instead of having two separate implementations of AK::RefCounted, one
for userspace and one for kernelspace, there is now RefCounted and
AtomicRefCounted.
The commit that introduced BuiltinWrappers (548529a) accidentally used
`val` instead of `value` in the non `__GNUC__` and `__clang__` versions
of the functions.
That this did not already happen took me by surprise, as for
most other similar containers/types in AK (e.g. Span) the index
will be checked. This check not happening could easily let
off-by-one indexing errors slip through the cracks.
This can almost be identical to the Linux version, except that the
`pthread_attr_t` object is populated using a call to
`pthread_attr_get_np` instead of `pthread_getattr_np`.
FreeBSD also needs `pthread_atttr_t` to be initialized using
`pthread_attr_init` instead of zero-initialization, but it's the
technically correct thing to do on Linux as well.
This constructor relied on running strlen implicitly on its argument,
thereby potentially causing out-of-bound reads (some of which were
caught a few days ago). The removal of this constructor ensures that the
caller must explicitly pass the size of the string by either:
1) Using operator""sv on literal strings; or
2) Calling strlen explicitly, making it clear that the size of the view
is being calculated at runtime.
During the removal of StringView(char const*), all users of these
functions were removed, and they are of dubious value (relying on
implicit StringView conversion).
This prevents us from needing a sv suffix, and potentially reduces the
need to run generic code for a single character (as contains,
starts_with, ends_with etc. for a char will be just a length and
equality check).
No functional changes.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Error::from_string_literal now takes direct char const*s, while
Error::from_string_view does what Error::from_string_literal used to do:
taking StringViews. This change will remove the need to insert `sv`
after error strings when returning string literal errors once
StringView(char const*) is removed.
No functional changes.
This commit moves the length calculations out to be directly on the
StringView users. This is an important step towards the goal of removing
StringView(char const*), as it moves the responsibility of calculating
the size of the string to the user of the StringView (which will prevent
naive uses causing OOB access).
This makes the assumption that we never pass a stack-allocated char
array to CheckedFormatString arguments (dbgln, outln, warnln). This
assumption seems to hold true for the current state of Serenity code, at
least. :^)
Previously we would treat the empty string as `null`. This caused
JavaScript like this to fail:
```js
var object = {};
try {
object = JSON.parse("");
} catch {}
var array = object.array || [];
```
Since `JSON.parse("")` returned null instead of throwing, it would set
`object` to null and then try and use it instead of using the default
backup value.
Is it another great upgrade to our PNG encoder like in 9aafaec259?
Well, not really - it's not a 2x or 55x improvement like you saw there,
but still it saves something:
- a screenshot of a blank Serenity desktop dropped from about 45 KiB
to 40 KiB.
- re-encoding NASA photo of the Earth to PNG again saves about 25%
(16.5 MiB -> 12.3 MiB), compared to not using filters.

This commit has no behavior changes.
In particular, this does not fix any of the wrong uses of the previous
default parameter (which used to be 'false', meaning "only replace the
first occurence in the string"). It simply replaces the default uses by
String::replace(..., ReplaceMode::FirstOnly), leaving them incorrect.
