The existing `load_from_gml()` methods look the same as before from the
outside. Inside though, they now forward to `try_load_from_gml()` which
returns Error when things go wrong. It also now calls the `try_create()`
factory method for Objects instead of the `construct()` one.
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 :^)
In order to avoid having multiple instances, we were keeping a pointer
to these singleton objects and only allocating them when it was null.
We have `__cxa_guard_{acquire,release}` in the userland, so there's no
need to do this dance, as the compiler will ensure that the constructors
are only called once.
This is a fallible version of add<T>(...) that returns ErrorOr<T>.
It can be used together with TRY() to handle allocation failures when
instantiating new Core::Objects.
Core::deferred_invoke is a way of executing an action after previously
queued events have been processed. It removes the requirement of
having/being a Core::Object subclass in order to defer invocation
through Core::Object::deferred_invoke.
Core::Object::deferred_invoke now delegates to Core::deferred_invoke.
The version with the Object& argument is still present but will be
removed in the following commits.
This commit additionally fixes a new places where the
DeferredInvocationEvent was dispatched to the event loop directly, and
replaces them with the Core::deferred_invoke equivalent.
We don't need to be allocating Strings for these names during static
initialization. The C-string literals will be stored in the .rodata ELF
section, so they're not going anywhere. We can just wrap the .rodata
storage for the class names in StringViews and use those in Object
registration and lookup APIs.
Core::EventLoop now makes an outbound connection to InspectorServer
instead of listening for incoming connections on a /tmp/rpc/PID socket.
This has many benefits, for example:
- We no longer keep an open listening socket in most applications
- We stop leaking socket files in /tmp/rpc
- We can tighten the pledges in many programs (patch coming)
This also moves Widget::load_from_json into Core::Object as a virtual
function in order to allow loading non-widget objects in GML (e.g.
BoxLayout).

Taking a StringView parameter that gets immediately converted to
a String anyway is silly. Just take a String directly instead.
This pattern is the main reason we have the "StringView internal
StringImpl pointer" optimization, and I suspect that we can throw
that whole thing out if we make a couple more patches like this.
This should allow creating intrusive lists that have smart pointers,
while remaining free (compared to the impl before this commit) when
holding raw pointers :^)
As a sidenote, this also adds a `RawPtr<T>` type, which is just
equivalent to `T*`.
Note that this does not actually use such functionality, but is only
expected to pave the way for #6369, to replace NonnullRefPtrVector<T>
with intrusive lists.
As it is with zero-cost things, this makes the interface a bit less nice
by requiring the type name of what an `IntrusiveListNode` holds (and
optionally its container, if not RawPtr), and also requiring the type of
the container (normally `RawPtr`) on the `IntrusiveList` instance.
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
