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 :^)
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This implements Optional<T&> as a T*, whose presence has been missing
since the early days of Optional.
As a lot of find_foo() APIs return an Optional<T> which imposes a
pointless copy on the underlying value, and can sometimes be very
misleading, with this change, those APIs can return Optional<T&>.
This avoids a value copy when calling value() or value_or() on a
temporary Optional. This is very common when using the HashMap::get()
API like this:
auto value = hash_map.get(key).value_or(fallback_value);
This patch introduces a new operator== to compare an Optional to its
contained type directly. If the Optional does not contain a value, the
comparison will always return false.
This also adds a test case for the new behavior as well as comparison
between Optional objects themselves.
