If we are out of memory, we can't try to allocate a string that could
fail as well. When Error is converted to String, this would result in an
endless OOM-throwing loop. Instead, pre-allocate the string on the VM,
and use it to construct the Error.
Note that as of this commit, the OOM string is still a DeprecatedString.
This is just preporatory for Error's conversion to String.
This makes it ever-so-slightly faster, but more importantly, it fixes
the bug where a `/\//` regex's `source` property would return `\\/`
("\\\\/") instead of `\/` due to the existing '/' -> '\/' replace()
call.
This will be needed by Value::to_string_without_side_effects, which can
be called in contexts without a VM (e.g. in AK::Format specializations).
So to_string_without_side_effects will need to be callable without a VM,
thus NumberToString must be as well.
For example the words "can't" and "32.3" should not have boundaries
detected on the "'" and "." code points, respectively.
The String test cases fixed here are because "b'ar" is now considered
one word.
Depending on how this is invoked, the preprocessor may get confused when
pasting the VM parameter into this expression. For example, it trips up
on the JS REPL in cases such as:
TRY_OR_THROW_OOM(*g_vm, ...);
Not an issue currently, but while developing, it's easy to miss cases
where an infallible AK::StringBuilder method is still used. By making
this inheritance private, and explicitly pulling in base methods we
can safely use, we get extra help from the compiler to indicate such
mistakes immediately.
For example, consider cases where we want to propagate errors only in
specific instances:
auto result = read_data(); // something like ErrorOr<ByteBuffer>
if (result.is_error() && result.error().code() != EINTR)
continue;
auto bytes = TRY(result);
The TRY invocation will currently copy the byte buffer when the
expression (in this case, just a local variable) is stored into
_temporary_result.
This patch binds the expression to a reference to prevent such copies.
In less trival invocations (such as TRY(some_function()), this will
incur only temporary lifetime extensions, i.e. no functional change.
First, this adds an overload of PrimitiveString::create for StringView.
This overload will throw an OOM completion if creating a String fails.
This is not only a bit more convenient, but it also ensures at compile
time that all PrimitiveString::create(string_view) invocations will be
handled as String and OOM-aware.
Next, this wraps all invocations to PrimitiveString::create(string_view)
with MUST_OR_THROW_OOM.
A small PrimitiveString::create(DeprecatedFlyString) overload also had
to be added to disambiguate between the StringView and DeprecatedString
overloads.
