When in permissive mode, the ConfigServer will not treat reads and
writes to non-pledged domains as errors, but instead turns them into
no-ops: Reads will act as if the key was not found, and writes will do
nothing. Permissive mode must be enabled before pledging any domains.
This is needed to make GUI Widgets nicer to work with in GML Playground:
a few Widgets include reads and writes to LibConfig in order to load
system settings (eg, GUI::Calendar) or to save and restore state
(eg, GUI::DynamicWidgetContainer). Without this change, editing a
layout that includes one of these Widgets will cause GML Playground to
crash when they try to access config domains that are not pledged.
The solution used previously is to make Playground pledge more domains,
but not only does this mean Playground has to know about these cases,
but also that working on a layout file can alter the user's settings in
other arbitrary apps, which is not something we want.
By simply ignoring these config accesses, we avoid those downsides, and
Widgets will simply use the fallback values they already have to provide
to Config::read_foo_value().
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')
InodeWatcherFlags is an enumeration from the Kernel. To avoid using it
outside of Serenity, add a FileWatcherFlags for FileWatcher, much like
we already have FileWatcherEvent::Type.
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 :^)
Plumbs synchronous calls for adding and removing group entries to
config files. This is useful for services like SystemServer which
default to group names for executable paths, and for removing all
keys at once.
