This is based on the paper by Daniel Lemire called
"Number parsing at a Gigabyte per second", currently available at
https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.11408
An implementation can be found at
https://github.com/fastfloat/fast_float
To support both strtod like methods and String::to_double we have two
different APIs. The parse_first_floating_point gives back both the
result, next character to read and the error/out of range status.
Out of range here means we rounded to infinity 0.
The other API, parse_floating_point_completely, will return a floating
point only if the given character range contains just the floating point
and nothing else. This can be much faster as we can skip actually
computing the value if we notice we did not parse the whole range.
Both of these APIs support a very lenient format to be usable in as many
places as possible. Also it does not check for "named" values like
"nan", "inf", "NAN" etc. Because this can be different for every usage.
For integers and small values this new method is not faster and often
even a tiny bit slower than the current strtod implementation. However
the strtod implementation is wrong for a lot of values and has a much
less predictable running time.
For correctness this method was tested against known string -> double
datasets from https://github.com/nigeltao/parse-number-fxx-test-data
This method gives 100% accuracy.
The old strtod gave an incorrect value in over 50% of the numbers
tested.
This is a set of functions that allow you to convert between arbitrary
IEEE 754 floating point types, as long as they can be represented
within 64 bits. Conversion methods between floats and doubles are
provided, as well as a generic `float_to_float()`.
Example usage:
#include <AK/FloatingPoint.h>
double val = 1.234;
auto weird_f16 =
convert_from_native_double<FloatingPointBits<0, 6, 10>>(val);
Signed and unsigned floats are supported, and both NaN and +/-Inf are
handled correctly. Values that do not fit in the target floating point
type are clamped.
This is an enum-like type that works with arbitrary sized storage > u64,
which is the limit for a regular enum class - which limits it to 64
members when needing bit field behavior.

This is the IPv6 counter part to the IPv4Address class and implements
parsing strings into a in6_addr and formatting one as a string. It
supports the address compression scheme as well as IPv4 mapped
addresses.
The goal of this file is to enable C++ overloaded functions for
standard builtin functions that we use. It contains fallback
implementations for systems that do not have the builtins available.
DisjointChunks<T> provides a nice interface over multiple sequential
Vector<T>'s, allowing the user to iterate over/index into/slice from
said buffers as if they were a single contiguous buffer.
To work with views on such objects, DisjointSpans<T> is provided, which
has the same behaviour but does not own the underlying objects.
Using a file(GLOB) to find all the test files in a directory is an easy
hack to get things started, but has some drawbacks. Namely, if you add
a test, it won't be found again without re-running CMake. `ninja` seems
to do this automatically, but it would be nice to one day stop seeing it
rechecking our globbed directories.
When swapping the same object, we could end up with a double-free error.
This was found while quick-sorting a Vector of Variants holding complex
types, reproduced by the new swap_same_complex_object test case.
The following commit broke Tests/AK/TestJSON.cpp as it removed the
file that the test loaded from disk to validate JSON parsing.

Base: Remove "test.frm" from HackStudio test project
Instead of restoring the file, lets just embed a bit of JSON in the
test case to avoid using external resources, as they obviously are
surprising and make the test less portable across environments.
Let's bring this class back, but without the confusing resize() API.
A FixedArray<T> is simply a fixed-size array of T.
The size is provided at run-time, unlike Array<T> where the size is
provided at compile-time.
Doing these as custom classes might be faster, especially when writing
them in SSE, but this would cause a lot of Code duplication and due to
the nature of constexprs and the intelligence of the compiler they might
be using SSE/MMX either way
