This mirrors String::from_utf8(StringView).
Jakt will use this to construct strings instead of just assuming the
allocation will succeed, lowering the API difference between
Jakt::String and AK::String by one API :^)
Having an alias function that only wraps another one is silly, and
keeping the more obvious name should flush out more uses of deprecated
strings.
No behavior change.
These are formatters that can only be used with debug print
functions, such as dbgln(). Currently this is limited to
Formatter<ErrorOr<T>>. With this you can still debug log ErrorOr
values (good for debugging), but trying to use them in any
String::formatted() call will fail (which prevents .to_string()
errors with the new failable strings being ignored).
You make a formatter debug only by adding a constexpr method like:
static constexpr bool is_debug_only() { return true; }
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
Note that this still keeps the old behaviour of putting things in std by
default on serenity so the tools can be happy, but if USING_AK_GLOBALLY
is unset, AK behaves like a good citizen and doesn't try to put things
in the ::std namespace.
std::nothrow_t and its friends get to stay because I'm being told that
compilers assume things about them and I can't yeet them into a
different namespace...for now.
This is used in Jakt, and providing that value from Jakt's side is more
trouble than doing this.
Considering this class is bound to go away, a little
backwards-compatible API change is just fine.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
