The Windows CRT definition of assert() is not noreturn, and causes
compile errors when using it as the backing for VERIFY() in debug
configurations of applications like the Jakt compiler.
This has KString, KBuffer, DoubleBuffer, KBufferBuilder, IOWindow,
UserOrKernelBuffer and ScopedCritical classes being moved to the
Kernel/Library subdirectory.
Also, move the panic and assertions handling code to that directory.
Just because we may compile serenity with or without NDEBUG doesn't
mean that consuming projects or Ports will share the setting.
Always define the custom assertion function so that we don't have to
keep the same debug settings between all projects.
Even though this almost certainly wouldn't run properly even if we had
a working kernel for AARCH64 this at least lets us build all the
userland binaries.
Until now, VERIFY() failures would just cause a __builtin_trap() in
release builds, which made them a bit too harsh. This commit adds an
out-of-line helper function that prints the error before trapping.
This adds a NOLINT directive to the definition of the TODO() macro.
clang-tidy wants the assert replaced with a static_assert, since the
macro simply resolves to assert(false). This is obviously nonsensical,
since we want the code to still compile even with TODO().
The same fix has already been implemented for VERIFY_NOT_REACHED().
The definition of VERIFY_NOT_REACHED() as `assert(false)` causes the
tool to suggest converting it to a static_assert. Which doesn't make
any sense in context for what the macro is trying to do: crash the
program at runtime.
Previously we would just print "ASSERTION FAILED: false", which was
kinda cryptic and also didn't make it clear whether this was a TODO or
an unreachable condition. Now, we actually print "ASSERTION FAILED:
TODO", making it crystal clear.
Other software might not expect these to be defined and behave
differently if they _are_ defined, e.g. scummvm which checks if
the TODO macro is defined and fails to build if it is.

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
I've been using this in the new HTML parser and it makes it much easier
to understand the state of unfinished code branches.
TODO() is for places where it's okay to end up but we need to implement
something there.
ASSERT_NOT_REACHED() is for places where it's not okay to end up, and
something has gone wrong.
This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.
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.
Instead of aborting the program when we hit an assertion, just print a
message and keep going.
This allows us to write tests that provoke assertions on purpose.
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.
