This patch adds JsonValue, JsonObject and JsonArray. You can use them to
build up a JsonObject and then serialize it to a string via to_string().
This patch only implements encoding, no decoding yet.
The underlying data structure is a singly-linked list of Vector<T>.
We never shift any of the vector contents around, but we batch the memory
allocations into 1000-element segments.
Put together a pretty well-performing queue using a Vector and an offset.
By using the new Vector::shift_left(int) instead of Vector::take_first()
we can avoid shifting the vector contents every time and instead only
do it every so often.
Maybe this could be generalized into a separate class, I'm not sure if it's
the best algorithm though, it's just what I came up with right now. :^)
StringView character buffer is not guaranteed to be null-terminated;
in particular it will not be null-terminated when making a substring.
This means it is not correct to check whether we've reached the end
of a StringView by comparing the next character to null; instead, we
need to do an explicit length (or pointer) comparison.
Without this function, comparing a String to a const char* will instantiate
a temporary String which is obviously not great.
Also add some missing null checks to StringView::operator==(const char*).
String&& is just not very practical. Also return const String& when the
returned string is a member variable. The call site is free to make a copy
if he wants, but otherwise we can avoid the retain count churn.
This is useful when you want to ensure some little thing happens when you
exit a certain scope.
This patch makes use of it in LibC's netdb code to make sure we close the
connection to the LookupServer.
This is a small change to the existing split() functionality to support
the case of splitting a string and stopping at a certain number of
tokens. This is useful for parsing e.g. key/value pairs, where the value
may contain the delimiter you're splitting on.
We should work towards a pattern where we take StringView as function
arguments, and store String as member, to push the String construction
to the last possible moment.
