This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
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 :^)
This moves all code comprehension-related code to a new library,
LibCodeComprehension.
This also moves some types related to code comprehension tasks (such as
autocomplete, find declaration) out of LibGUI and into
LibCodeComprehension.
The SemanticSyntaxHighlighter uses TokenInfo results from the
language server to provide 'semantic' syntax highlighting, which
provides more fin-grained text spans results.
For example, the SemanticSyntaxHighlighter can color function calls,
member fields references and user-defined types in different colors.
With the simple lexer-only syntax highlighter, all of these tokens were
given the same text highlighting span type.
Since we have to provide immediate highlighting feedback to the user
after each edit and before we get the result for the language server,
we use a heuristic which computes the diff between the current tokens
and the last known tokens with compete semantic information
(We use LibDiff for this).
This heuristic is not very performant, and starts feeling sluggish with
bigger (~200 LOC) files.
A possible future improvement would be only computing the diff for
tokens in text ranges that have changes since the last commit.
