This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
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 :^)
Changing the naming conventions one-by-one was tedious and error-prone.
A settings file is likely to be more forward compatible than a
screenshot. The settings file was made by repeating the manual steps
provided in the documentation, and exporting the file in CLion.
The two major changes noticeable on the SerenityOS codebase are:
- Much improved support for const placement, clang-format-14 ignored
our east-const configuration in various places
- Different formatting for requires clauses, now breaking them onto
their own line, which helps with readability a bit
Current versions of CLion also ship LLVM 15, so the built-in formatting
now matches CI formatting again :^)
As Evil stated in the Discord, WSL users must install the DLL
libraries with their QEMU Installation or else they will receive
obscure errors about the syntax of the Meta/run.sh file as shown in
SerenityOS#14033.
YouCompleteMe is a plugin for Vim which provides code-completion
functionality. This change adds a configuration file which makes
YouCompleteMe aware of which compile flags to use with clangd.
So far we've gotten away with using GCC 11 for Lagom and to compile the
toolchain, but via #15795 we discovered a compiler bug that has been
fixed in the latest version but would error the build with CI's GCC 11.
Time for an upgrade :^)
We already use ubuntu-22.04 images in most places, so this is pretty
straightforward. The only exception is Idan's self-hosted runner, which
uses Ubuntu Focal. LibJS should build fine with GCC 11, still.
This code generator no longer creates JS wrappers for platform objects
in the old sense, instead they're JS objects internally themselves.
Most of what we generate now are prototypes - which can be seen as
bindings for the internal C++ methods implementing getters, setters, and
methods - as well as object constructors, i.e. bindings for the internal
create_with_global_object() method.
Also tweak the naming of various CMake glue code existing around this.
This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
The FLAC "spec tests", or rather the test suite by xiph that exercises
weird FLAC features and edge cases, can be found at
https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/flac-test-files and is a good
challenge for our FLAC decoder to become more spec compliant. Running
these tests is similar to LibWasm spec tests, you need to pass
INCLUDE_FLAC_SPEC_TESTS to CMake.
As of integrating these tests, 23 out of 63 fail. :yakplus:
Add a variant of auto formatting using clang-format that doesn't use
additional packages. It works by adding a buffer-local hook to
`'before-save` for all C++ project files.
The current compilerArgs will cause an error when VSCode's C++ extension
queries the compiler for defaults, causing it to revert to the system's
default compiler.
The generate-manpages script needs to be updated again to handle the new
PNGs in section 1. (I'm intentionally not making this a multi-directory
glob.)
This PR includes information that highlights the importance of
updating Xcode on MacOS. I ran into problems building serenity
on MacOS because I had Xcode installed but not updated in a while.
This triggered seemingly unrelated errors that were easily solved
by updating Xcode.
Even though we tell the user to change the version manually if it
doesn't match with the current
`Toolchain/Local/i686/i686-pc-serenity/include/XX.X.X` version, it
doesn't hurt to update it properly now that versions differ by major
version.
