FlyString is a flyweight string class that wraps a RefPtr<StringImpl>
known to be unique among the set of FlyStrings. The class is very
unoptimized at the moment.
When to use FlyString:
- When you want O(1) string comparison
- When you want to deduplicate a lot of identical strings
When not to use FlyString:
- For strings that don't need either of the above features
- For strings that are likely to be unique
Move the "fast memcpy" stuff out of StdLibExtras.h and into Memory.h.
This will break a ton of things that were relying on StdLibExtras.h
to include a bunch of other headers. Fix will follow immediately after.
This makes it possible to include StdLibExtras.h from Types.h, which is
the main point of this exercise.
We can use __builtin_memset() without including <string.h>.
This is pretty neat, as it will allow us to reduce the header deps
of AK templates a bit, if applied consistently.
Note that this is an enabling change for an upcoming #include removal.
This was causing some obvious-in-hindsight but hard to spot bugs where
we'd implicitly convert the bool to an integer type and carry on with
the number 1 instead of the actual value().
Instead of set(const JsonValue&) and set(JsonValue&&), just do
set(JsonValue) and let callers move() if they want. This removes some
ambiguity and the compiler is smart enough to optimize it anyway.
Now it actually defaults to "a < b" comparison, instead of forcing you
to provide a trivial less-than comparator. Also you can pass in any
collection type that has .begin() and .end() and we'll sort it for you.
Add an extra out-parameter to shbuf_get() that receives the size of the
shared buffer. That way we don't need to make a separate syscall to
get the size, which we always did immediately after.
This feels a lot more consistent and Unixy:
create_shared_buffer() => shbuf_create()
share_buffer_with() => shbuf_allow_pid()
share_buffer_globally() => shbuf_allow_all()
get_shared_buffer() => shbuf_get()
release_shared_buffer() => shbuf_release()
seal_shared_buffer() => shbuf_seal()
get_shared_buffer_size() => shbuf_get_size()
Also, "shared_buffer_id" is shortened to "shbuf_id" all around.
This commit replaces SinglyLinkedListIterator::universal_end() with an
empty SinglyLinkedListIterator(). Piano needs this in order to
initialize a member array of iterators without 84 lines of
universal_end().
This should make stuff like placement new work correctly when building
outside of Serenity. This stuff is a bit delicate due to the weirdly
staged toolchain build at the moment. Hopefully we can unify this stuff
in the future.
