We had an unusual optimization in AK::StringView where constructing
a StringView from a String would cause it to remember the internal
StringImpl pointer of the String.
This was used to make constructing a String from a StringView fast
and copy-free.
I tried removing this optimization and indeed we started seeing a
ton of allocation traffic. However, all of it was due to a silly
pattern where functions would take a StringView and then go on
to create a String from it.
I've gone through most of the code and updated those functions to
simply take a String directly instead, which now makes this
optimization unnecessary, and indeed a source of bloat instead.
So, let's get rid of it and make StringView a little smaller. :^)
Previously this would create new to_lowercase()'d strings from the
needle and the haystack. This generated a huge amount of malloc
traffic in some programs.
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.
`-Wnull-dereference` has found a lot of "possible null dereferences" in userland.
However, in the kernel, no warnings occurred. To keep it that way,
preemptivly add the flag here and remove it once it is enabled system
wide.
This flag makes the compiler check statically for a null deref. It does
not take into account any human-imposed invariants and as such, may need a
`VERIFY(ptr);`, `if(ptr)`, or `if(!ptr)` before using a pointer.
However, as long as a pointer is not reassigned,
the verify will be valid, meaning that adding `VERIFY` can be done sparingly.
The bullet point should not be centered in the height of the list item,
but rather stay in front of the first line.
So, instead of giving the marker the full height of the ListItemBox,
it gets the height of a single line.
This closes#6384
This commit adds a SpinBox to the FontPicker dialog to allow users to
set arbitrary font sizes (1 to 255 inclusive) for TTF fonts.
The SpinBox is only visible when the user is selecting a TTF font.
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.
To protect the main Browser process against nefarious cookies, parse the
cookies out-of-process and then send the parsed result over IPC to the
main process. This way, if the cookie parser blows up, only that tab
will be affected.
This manually builds shared libraries for a bunch of ports. Using
libtool would be preferable but that's currently broken so I'm
linking the shared libraries manually.
This warning informs of float-to-double conversions. The best solution
seems to be to do math *either* in 32-bit *or* in 64-bit, and only to
cross over when absolutely necessary.
