Allowing an environment variable to enable/disable the build for clangd
and other toolchains will improve the developer-experience than
reconfiguring and building the toolchain manually.
Now you will have to call the command as following
$ CLANG_ENABLE_CLANGD=ON Toolchain/BuildClang.sh
Static analysis is great, but these workflows have not worked in a long
time, and no one was looking at the results. Our PVS Studio license and
our Sonar Cloud token have expired. Remove the workflows (at least for
now) so we don't waste CI runners and cache space. If someone is
motivated to revive these, they can revert this commit.
Turns out clangd supports code formatting using the clang-format
engine. Because we also document another code formatter to install,
when users use both extensions VSCode will ask to choose one or the
other. Therefore, let's just choose clangd for code formatting since
it is needed anyways for code comprehension.
Explain a bit about what pkg is and what it isn't, and clarify that
while Serenity kinda-sorta has the beginnings of a "package manager",
it's not exactly like a typical Linux package manager with binary
software.
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')
This patch fixes `nix develop` commands not using proper paths, uses
the serenity root directory as an assumption for all commands and
adds variants of nix commands to use a custom entry point, for example
a shell.
If PulseAudio is available, the Qt6 audio plugin will never be used. So
let's remove it from the build.
Note that on macOS, the Qt6 audio plugin will be used if the Qt chrome
is enabled. Otherwise, Audio Unit will be used for the AppKit chrome.
This is the only instance of `*OS's` in the repo that does not use `s`
after the apostrophe.
Generally, the saxon genitive for singular nouns is always written as
`'s` even if they end in `s`.
`-serial mon:stdio` passes through all kinds of key combinations,
`-serial stdio` doesn't. This probably isn't something that we want
while running tests or CI, so switch to the non-passing variant.
aarch64 actually failed to run due to this, since it already had
`-serial stdio` in its arguments, causing a conflict. This is why that
entry is now gone entirely.
`-nographic` additionally reconfigures the Terminal, which clears the
previous scrollback and (ocasionally) breaks line wrapping. This is
probably not something that we want, so only ask for the redirection
behavior.
Unless a new toolchain update has been merged, users should not need to
rebuild their toolchain. Yet, the first thing they see in the build
documentation is to run `Meta/serenity.sh rebuild-toolchain`, which
might incorrectly lead them to use it whenever they encounter an error.
This is a waste of time and causes frustration.
Move any mentions of this option to `Troubleshooting.md` and add a note
to `BuildInstructions.md` about the toolchain build being a one-time
endeavor.
Add another dev shell to `Toolchain/flake.nix` called `ladybird.nix`
that pulls in the dependencies for building Ladybird.
Also update the documentation to mention building with a flake.
