We have two known PlatformObjects that need to implement some of the
behavior of LegacyPlatformObjects to date: Window, and HTMLFormElement.
To make this not require double (or virtual) inheritance of
PlatformObject, move the behavior of LegacyPlatformObject into
PlatformObject. The selection of LegacyPlatformObject behavior is done
with a new bitfield of feature flags instead of a dozen virtual
functions that return bool. This change simplifies every class involved
in the diff with the notable exception of Window, which now needs some
ugly const casts to implement named property access.
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 :^)
This can be used to ask a PlatformObject if it implements a given IDL
interface. It's implemented by a chain of virtual overrides that get
inserted for each subclass by the WEB_PLATFORM_OBJECT macro.
This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
