Note that since many low-level bare C APIs are used, null-terminated
strings are still necessary in many places, which sadly required the
addition of many DeprecatedStrings.
Expand the following types from 32-bit to 64-bit:
- blkcnt_t
- blksize_t
- dev_t
- nlink_t
- suseconds_t
- clock_t
This matches their size on other 64-bit systems.
This also removes DirIterator::error_string(), since the same strerror()
string will be included when you print the Error itself. Except in `ls`
which is still using fprintf() for now.
Currently, `ls` crashes when printing certain byte sequences.
This is likely due to an out-of-bounds error when iterating
through the `StringView` representing the file name to be printed.
We switch to using an index-based for loop to a range-based
for loop. This fixes#16678.
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 :^)
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This commit moves the length calculations out to be directly on the
StringView users. This is an important step towards the goal of removing
StringView(char const*), as it moves the responsibility of calculating
the size of the string to the user of the StringView (which will prevent
naive uses causing OOB access).
This converts the return value of File::read_link() from String to
ErrorOr<String>.
The rest of the change is to support the potential of an Error being
returned and subsequent release of the value when no Error is returned.
Unfortunately at this stage none of the places affected can utililize
our TRY() macro.
Add them in `<Kernel/API/Device.h>` and use these to provides
`{makedev,major,minor}` in `<sys/sysmacros.h>`. It aims to be more in
line with other Unix implementations and avoid code duplication in user
land.
Since the InodeIndex encapsulates a 64 bit value, it is correct to
ensure that the Kernel is exposing the entire value and the LibC is
aware of it.
This commit requires an entire re-compile because it's essentially a
change in the Kernel ABI, together with a corresponding change in LibC.
It's technically not specified by POSIX, but it appears most Unix-like
systems worth mentioning put those definitions there. Also, it's more
logical since the dev_t type is defined there.

(...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.
