VP9 continues to function, but this also allows AV1 to be decoded. With
this commit, H.264 is still non-functional, as the decoder requires
some extra initial data from the track definition in the Matroska file.
Rather than removing LibLocale entirely, we will use it as a wrapper
around ICU (which has some C-like interfaces, and uses UTF-16 for its
string types). Using ICU will provide better web compatibility overall,
and will let us implement features we were previously unable to (e.g.
Intl.Collator requires data that is not in the JSON export of the CLDR).
Sometimes, especially on WSL, no fonts are installed, which will fail
`VERIFY(m_default_font)` in Ladybird/FontPlugin.
Note that Liberation Sans does not provide fonts for `cursive` and
`fantasy`, which will fall back to the default, sans-serif, font.
To cover all generic font families Microsoft's "Core fonts for the Web"
are available as `ttf-mscorefonts-installer`, `ttf-ms-fonts`, etc.
Allowing an environment variable to enable/disable the build for clangd
and other toolchains will improve the developer-experience than
reconfiguring and building the toolchain manually.
Now you will have to call the command as following
$ CLANG_ENABLE_CLANGD=ON Toolchain/BuildClang.sh
Static analysis is great, but these workflows have not worked in a long
time, and no one was looking at the results. Our PVS Studio license and
our Sonar Cloud token have expired. Remove the workflows (at least for
now) so we don't waste CI runners and cache space. If someone is
motivated to revive these, they can revert this commit.
Turns out clangd supports code formatting using the clang-format
engine. Because we also document another code formatter to install,
when users use both extensions VSCode will ask to choose one or the
other. Therefore, let's just choose clangd for code formatting since
it is needed anyways for code comprehension.
Explain a bit about what pkg is and what it isn't, and clarify that
while Serenity kinda-sorta has the beginnings of a "package manager",
it's not exactly like a typical Linux package manager with binary
software.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
This patch fixes `nix develop` commands not using proper paths, uses
the serenity root directory as an assumption for all commands and
adds variants of nix commands to use a custom entry point, for example
a shell.
If PulseAudio is available, the Qt6 audio plugin will never be used. So
let's remove it from the build.
Note that on macOS, the Qt6 audio plugin will be used if the Qt chrome
is enabled. Otherwise, Audio Unit will be used for the AppKit chrome.
This is the only instance of `*OS's` in the repo that does not use `s`
after the apostrophe.
Generally, the saxon genitive for singular nouns is always written as
`'s` even if they end in `s`.
`-serial mon:stdio` passes through all kinds of key combinations,
`-serial stdio` doesn't. This probably isn't something that we want
while running tests or CI, so switch to the non-passing variant.
aarch64 actually failed to run due to this, since it already had
`-serial stdio` in its arguments, causing a conflict. This is why that
entry is now gone entirely.
`-nographic` additionally reconfigures the Terminal, which clears the
previous scrollback and (ocasionally) breaks line wrapping. This is
probably not something that we want, so only ask for the redirection
behavior.
Unless a new toolchain update has been merged, users should not need to
rebuild their toolchain. Yet, the first thing they see in the build
documentation is to run `Meta/serenity.sh rebuild-toolchain`, which
might incorrectly lead them to use it whenever they encounter an error.
This is a waste of time and causes frustration.
Move any mentions of this option to `Troubleshooting.md` and add a note
to `BuildInstructions.md` about the toolchain build being a one-time
endeavor.
Add another dev shell to `Toolchain/flake.nix` called `ladybird.nix`
that pulls in the dependencies for building Ladybird.
Also update the documentation to mention building with a flake.
Let users save their nix develop derivation in a profile by ignoring
this specific folder. It encourages the following workflow:
```
nix develop Toolchain/ --profile Toolchain/nix-profiles/dev
```
Which stops the dev enviornment being collected in the nix store. Later
devs can come back and do:
```
nix develop Toolchain/nix-profiles/dev
```
To continue where they left off, without having to download everything
from nixpkgs again.
Add a nix flake to `Toolchain/` that wraps the existing nix derivation
`Toolchain/serenity.nix`. This also comes with a lockfile making the nix
developer enviornment setup more reproducible.
We also update the documentation for "other builds" to mention the
flake.
The proper syntax for defining user-defined literals does not require a
space between the `operator""` token and the operator name:
> error: identifier 'sv' preceded by whitespace in a literal operator
> declaration is deprecated
This is a minimal set of changes to allow `serenity.sh build riscv64` to
successfully generate the build environment and start building. This
includes some, but not all, assembly stubs that will be needed later on;
they are currently empty.
The following changes take effect:
1. Annotate FixedStringBuffer => `FixedStringBuffer` in many places.
2. Remove non-existing helpers for FixedStringBuffers. I added them
previously but even then they were removed in a following fixup so these
references were never valid. Therefore let's just put a vague reference
to the fact that we have some helpers for this class in the Kernel, and
let people to figure out quickly by themselves for this topic.
3. Put a sentence to explain that FixedStringBuffer objects are not only
being used in syscall handling code, but also for storing actual data in
both the Thread and Process classes as well.
In distributions with newer versions of OpenSSL, when you run
Meta/serenity.sh rebuild-toolchain you'll get curl: (35)
error:0A000152:SSL routines::unsafe legacy renegotiation
disabled. This is because OpenSSL was compiled with legacy
renegotiation disabled by default. I've added instructions
to Documentation/BuildInstructions.md to solve this issue.
The documentation for building Ladybird gives a list of packages to
install under openSUSE, but is missing the Qt6 Multimedia development
package, qt6-multimedia-devel.
Include it.
This includes a few new options to the .clang-format configuration file
to A) adhere to option changes within clang-format 16 (namely the option
AlignTrailingComments), and B) enforce existing style guide rules with
new clang-format rules.
The build instructions include build-essential,
which installs gcc and g++.
However, build-essential's currently stable version (v12.9) depends on
a version of g++ < 12, thus, Ladybird doesn't build.
Doing this removes the qt6-svg dependency and allows our rasterizer to
be used for these little icons (and happens to be a fair bit smaller
than the old SVGs).
This creates (and installs upon WebContent startup) a platform plugin to
play audio data.
On Serenity, we use AudioServer to play audio over IPC. Unfortunately,
AudioServer is currently coupled with Serenity's audio devices, and thus
cannot be used in Ladybird on Lagom. Instead, we use a Qt audio device
to play the audio, which requires the Qt multimedia package.
While we use Qt to play the audio, note that we can still use LibAudio
to decode the audio data and retrieve samples - we simply send Qt the
raw PCM signals.
