Get rid of the weird old signature:
- int StringType::to_int(bool& ok) const
And replace it with sensible new signature:
- Optional<int> StringType::to_int() const
With 0 initial capacity, we don't allocate an underlying ByteBuffer
for the StringBuilder, which would then lead to a null String() being
returned from to_string().
This patch makes sure we always build a valid String.
This adds a replace functionality that replaces a string that contains
occurences of a "needle" by a "replacement" value. With "all_occurences"
enabled, all occurences are being replaced, otherwise only the first
occurence is being replaced.
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
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Using int was a mistake. This patch changes String, StringImpl,
StringView and StringBuilder to use size_t instead of int for lengths.
Obviously a lot of code needs to change as a result of this.
`AK::String` can now be reversed via AK::String::reverse(). This makes
life a lot easier for functions like `itoa()`, where the output
ends up being backwards. Very much not like the normal STL
(which requires an `std::reverse` object) way of doing things.
A call to reverse returns a new `AK::String` so as to not upset any
of the possible references to the same `StringImpl` shared between
Strings.
This was a workaround to be able to build on case-insensitive file
systems where it might get confused about <string.h> vs <String.h>.
Let's just not support building that way, so String.h can have an
objectively nicer name. :^)
Instead of aborting the program when we hit an assertion, just print a
message and keep going.
This allows us to write tests that provoke assertions on purpose.
