The variant member already contains enough information to give us the
type when needed, so remove the type member and synthesize it when
needed, this allows lots of optimisation opportunaties when copying and
moving Values around.
This should make debugging and profiling much better, at little to no
runtime cost.
Also moves off the operator definitions to a separate header, so it
should also improve the editing experience quite a bit.
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.
The compiler can re-order the structure (class) members if that's
necessary, so if we make Process to inherit from ProcFSExposedComponent,
even if the declaration is to inherit first from ProcessBase, then from
ProcFSExposedComponent and last from Weakable<Process>, the members of
class ProcFSExposedComponent (including the Ref-counted parts) are the
first members of the Process class.
This problem made it impossible to safely use the current toggling
method with the write-protection bit on the ProcessBase members, so
instead of inheriting from it, we make its members the last ones in the
Process class so we can safely locate and modify the corresponding page
write protection bit of these values.
We make sure that the Process class doesn't expand beyond 8192 bytes and
the protected values are always aligned on a page boundary.
This extracts the sampler functionality into its own class.
Beginning with OpenGL 3 samplers are actual objects, separate
from textures. It makes sense to do this already as it also
cleans up code organization quite a bit.
The POSIX C regex functions are expected to live in the C standard
library, but Serenity split off its regex library into LibRegex. Make a
compromise by implementing stub forwarders for the C regex library that
load libregex.so and call the real implementation.
This is needed for ports that expect these C functions to be available
inside the standard C library without introducing a strong coupling
between LibC and LibDl or LibRegex. The non-standard Serenity C++ regex
API still lives inside LibRegex as before.
28b1e66b51 made that
the m_all_editor_wrappers vector is cleared everytime a project path
is changed (the m_project if check is just for the app launch --
the vector is empty there anyway), making the code never execute.
Previously when user wanted to save an uncreated file, the program
would just quietly ignore the save request, without giving any message.
This can be seen when creating a new editor in split view mode.
If you want to record perf events, just enable profiling. This allows us
to add random perf events to programs without littering the file system
with perfcore files.
Making userspace provide a global string ID was silly, and made the API
extremely difficult to use correctly in a global profiling context.
Instead, simply make the kernel do the string ID allocation for us.
This also allows us to convert the string storage to a Vector in the
kernel (and an array in the JSON profile data.)
The first perf_event argument to a PERF_EVENT_SIGNPOST is now
interpreted as a string ID (in the profile strings set.)
This allows us to generate signposts with custom strings. :^)
This syscall allows userspace to register a keyed string that appears in
a new "strings" JSON object in profile output.
This will be used to add custom strings to profile signposts. :^)
Signposts generated by perf_event(PERF_EVENT_SIGNPOST) now show up in
profile timelines, and if you hover them you get a tooltip with the two
arguments passed with the event.
