Unfortunately this patch is quite large.
The main functionality included are a BTree index implementation and
the Heap class which manages persistent storage.
Also included are a Key subclass of the Tuple class, which is a
specialization for index key tuples. This "dragged in" the Meta layer,
which has classes defining SQL objects like tables and indexes.
This patch adds the basic dynamic value classes used by the SQL Storage
layer. The most elementary class is Value, which holds a typed Value
which can be converted to standard C++ types. A Tuple is a collection
of Values described by a TupleDescriptor, which specifies the names,
types, and ordering of the elements in the Tuple.
Tuples and Values can be serialized and deserialized to and from
ByteBuffers. This is mechanism which is used to save them to disk.
Tuples are used as keys in SQL indexes and rows in SQL tables.
Also included is a test file.
LibSQL aims to be a SQLite clone for SerenityOS. Step 1 is creating a
tokenizer to lex SQL tokens. This lexer is heavily influenced by the
LibJS lexer.
