This is a clear sign that they want to use a UnixDateTime instead.
This also adds support for placing durations and date times into SQL
databases via their millisecond offset to UTC.
That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
We are currently converting parsed expiry times to local time, whereas
the RFC dictates we parse them as UTC. When expiring cookies, we must
also use the current UTC time to compare against the cookies' expiry
times.
In doing so, this removes all uses of the Encoder's stream operator,
except for where it is currently still used in the generated IPC code.
So the stream operator currently discards any errors, which is the
existing behavior. A subsequent commit will propagate the errors.
Currently, the generated IPC decoders will default-construct the type to
be decoded, then pass that value by reference to the concrete decoder.
This, of course, requires that the type is default-constructible. This
was an issue for decoding Variants, which had to require the first type
in the Variant list is Empty, to ensure it is default constructible.
Further, this made it possible for values to become uninitialized in
user-defined decoders.
This patch makes the decoder interface such that the concrete decoders
themselves contruct the decoded type upon return from the decoder. To do
so, the default decoders in IPC::Decoder had to be moved to the IPC
namespace scope, as these decoders are now specializations instead of
overloaded methods (C++ requires specializations to be in a namespace
scope).
In order to avoid the base encode/decode methods from being used (and
failing a static assertion), we must be sure to declare/define the
custom type implementations as template specializations.
After this, LibIPC is no longer sensitive to include order.
