This commit adds an equivalent to the sh 'case' construct, except it's
much more pleasing to look at and write:
```sh
match "$something" {
p1 { echo "p1!" }
p2 { echo "p2!" }
* { echo "string catch-all!" }
}
```
is the equivalent of:
```sh
case $something in
p1)
echo "p1!"
;;
p2)
echo "p2!"
;;
*)
echo "catch-all!"
;;
esac
```
Since our shell does not treat lists as strings, matching lists is also
possible:
```sh
match (1foo 2foo foo3) {
(?foo 2* *) { echo wowzers! }
(* * *) { echo 3-element list catch-all }
}
```
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.
xterms send a bitmask (+ 1) in the 2nd CSI parameter if "special"
keys (arrow keys, pgup/down, etc) are sent with modifiers held down.
Serenity's Terminal used to send ^[[O, which is a nonexistent
escape sequence and a misread of VT100's ^[O (ie the '[' is
replaced by 'O'). Since the xterm scheme also supports shift
and alt modifiers, switch to that.
More flexible, and makes ctrl-left/right and alt-left/right work
in SerenityOS's bash port.
Also do this for page up/down.
No behavior change for SerenityOS's Shell.
Fix gracefully failing these calls if used within IRQ handlers. If we're
handling IRQs, we need to handle these failures first, because we can't
really resolve page faults in a meaningful way. But if we know that it
was one of these functions that failed, then we can gracefully handle
the situation.
This solves a crash where the Scheduler attempts to produce backtraces
in the timer irq, some of which cause faults.
Fixes#3492
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.
Piggyback on the existing mechanism to set individual properties.
This doesn't cover layouts or child widgets, but the per-widget own
properties can be set this way.
Any property can now be set in JSON GUI, all you need to do is handle
it in the relevant Core::Object::set_property() override. :^)
This is our first client of the new JSON GUI declaration thingy.
The skeleton of the TextEditor app GUI is now declared separately from
the C++ logic, and we use the Core::Object::name() of widgets to locate
them once they have been instantiated by the GUI builder.
My original idea for GUI building tools was to have the "VisualBuilder"
app generate C++ code which in turn programmatically instantiated UI.
That never really materialized in any useful way beyond static UIs.
This is a fresh, new approach: using JSON to declare the UI and parsing
and constructing this UI at runtime. This will allow for way more
dynamic and flexible approaches to GUI development (I think.)
The basic idea is that you pass a JSON string to Widget::load_from_json
and it takes care of the rest.
This first version supports basic box layouts and instantiation of
arbitrary widgets, as long as those widgets have been registered.
This code has some pretty rough edges right now as it's evolving and
we need to figure out a lot of things about how it should work.
Nevertheless, it feels pretty cool. :^)
