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')
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 :^)
Before this patch, when you called FileSystemAccessServer::Client::try_*
twice, the second call used the same variable to store the promise. This
"race condition" is now solved using a HashMap, to store multiple
parallel requests.
This transitions from synchronous IPC calls to asynchronous IPC calls
provided through a synchronous interface in LibFileSystemAccessClient
which allows the parent Application to stay responsive.
It achieves this with Promise which is pumping the Application event
loop while waiting for the Dialog to respond with the user's action.
LibFileSystemAccessClient provides a lazy singleton which also ensures
that FileSystemAccessServer is running in the event of a crash.
This also transitions TextEditor into using LibFileSystemAccessClient.
Adds new service FileSystemAccessServer which allows programs to
request a file descriptor for any file on the file system.
The user can be prompted to choose the path with a FilePicker, or the
path can be provided by the application which will show a MessageBox
showing the pid and name of the calling process and allows the user to
approve or deny the request.
