We currently bundle AK with LibCore on Lagom. This means that to use AK,
all libraries must also depend on LibCore. This will create circular
dependencies when we create LibURL, as LibURL will depend on LibUnicode,
which will depend on LibCore, which will depend on LibURL.
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')
This is a bit spammy now that we are performing some overload resolution
at build time. The fallback to an interface has generally worked fine on
the types it warns about (BufferSource, Module, etc.) so let's not warn
about it for every build.
IFF was a generic container fileformat that was popular on the Amiga
since it was the only file format supported by Deluxe Paint.
ILBM is an image format popular in the late eighties/nineties
that uses the IFF container.
This is a very first version of the decoder that only supports
(byterun) compressed files with bpp <= 8.
Only the minimal chunks are decoded: CMAP, BODY, BMHD.
I am planning to add support for the following variants:
- EHB (32 colours + lighter 32 colours)
- HAM6 / HAM8 (special mode that allowed to display the whole Amiga
4096 colours / 262 144 colours palette)
- TrueColor (24bit)
Things that could be fun to do:
- Still images could be animated using color cycle information
