This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
Same as Vector, ByteBuffer now also signals allocation failure by
returning an ENOMEM Error instead of a bool, allowing us to use the
TRY() and MUST() patterns.
Currently, to append a UTF-16 view to a StringBuilder, callers must
first convert the view to UTF-8 and then append the copy. Add a UTF-16
overload so callers do not need to hold an entire copy in memory.
`append()` is almost never going to select the overload that is desired.
e.g. it will append chars when you pass it a Vector<size_t>, which is
definitely not the right overload :)
Previously ByteBuffer would internally hold a RefPtr to the byte
buffer and would behave like a reference type, i.e. copying a
ByteBuffer would not create a duplicate byte buffer, but rather
two objects which refer to the same internal buffer.
This also changes ByteBuffer so that it has some internal capacity
much like the Vector<T> type. Unlike Vector<T> however a byte
buffer's data may be uninitialized.
With this commit ByteBuffer makes use of the kmalloc_good_size()
API to pick an optimal allocation size for its internal buffer.

Problem:
- Many constructors are defined as `{}` rather than using the ` =
default` compiler-provided constructor.
- Some types provide an implicit conversion operator from `nullptr_t`
instead of requiring the caller to default construct. This violates
the C++ Core Guidelines suggestion to declare single-argument
constructors explicit
(https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit).
Solution:
- Change default constructors to use the compiler-provided default
constructor.
- Remove implicit conversion operators from `nullptr_t` and change
usage to enforce type consistency without conversion.
This patch adds a 128-byte inline buffer that we use before switching
to using a dynamically growing ByteBuffer.
This allows us to avoid heap allocations in many cases, and totally
incidentally also speeds up @nico's favorite test, "disasm /bin/id"
more than 2x. :^)
With this commit, <AK/Format.h> has a more supportive role and isn't
used directly.
Essentially, there now is a public 'vformat' function ('v' for vector)
which takes already type erased parameters. The name is choosen to
indicate that this function behaves similar to C-style functions taking
a va_list equivalent.
The interface for frontend users are now 'String::formatted' and
'StringBuilder::appendff'.
You can now #include <AK/Forward.h> to get most of the AK types as
forward declarations.
Header dependency explosion is one of the main contributors to compile
times at the moment, so this is a step towards smaller include graphs.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Using int was a mistake. This patch changes String, StringImpl,
StringView and StringBuilder to use size_t instead of int for lengths.
Obviously a lot of code needs to change as a result of this.
The former allows you to inspect the string while it's being built.
It's an explicit method rather than `operator StringView()` because
you must remember you can only look at it in between modifications;
appending to the StringBuilder invalidates the StringView.
The latter lets you clear the state of a StringBuilder explicitly, to
start from an empty string again.
This was a workaround to be able to build on case-insensitive file
systems where it might get confused about <string.h> vs <String.h>.
Let's just not support building that way, so String.h can have an
objectively nicer name. :^)
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.
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
You're never gonna be right 100% of the time when guessing how much buffer
space you need. This avoids having to make that type of decision in a bunch
of cases. :^)
