Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.
Previously <AK/Function.h> also included <AK/OwnPtr.h>. That's about to
change though. This patch fixes a few build problems that will occur
when that change happens.
This changes Variant::visit() to forward the value returned by the
selected visitor invocation. By perfectly forwarding the returned value,
this allows for the visitor to return by value or reference.
Note that all provided visitors must return the same type - the compiler
will otherwise fail with the message: "inconsistent deduction for auto
return type".
The current code is factored such that reads to the entirety of the last
byte should be dropped. This was relying on the fact that last would be
one past the end in that case. Instead of actually reading that byte
when it's completely out of bounds of the bitmask, just skip reads that
would be invalid. Add more tests to make sure that the behavior is
correct for byte aligned reads of byte aligned bitmaps.
The should_not_destroy test case intentionally performs an invalid stack
access on a NeverDestroyed to confirm that the destructor for the held
type was not called.
We can't unref an object to destruction while there's still a live
RefPtr to the object, otherwise the RefPtr destructor will try to
destroy it again, accessing the refcount of a destroyed object (before
realizing that oops! the object is already dead)
Unfortunately adopt_ref requires a reference, which obviously does not
work well with when attempting to harden against allocation failure.
The adopt_ref_if_nonnull() variant will allow you to avoid using bare
pointers, while still allowing you to handle allocation failure.
This allows the construction of `Variant<int, int, int>`.
While this might not seem useful, it is very useful for making variants
that contain a series of member function pointers, which I plan to use
in LibGL for glGenLists() and co.
