This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
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 :^)
Otherwise, we end up propagating those dependencies into targets that
link against that library, which creates unnecessary link-time
dependencies.
Also included are changes to readd now missing dependencies to tools
that actually need them.
The syscalls are renamed as they no longer reflect the exact POSIX
functionality. They can now handle setting/getting scheduler parameters
for both threads and processes.
Doesn't use them in libc headers so that those don't have to pull in
AK/Platform.h.
AK_COMPILER_GCC is set _only_ for gcc, not for clang too. (__GNUC__ is
defined in clang builds as well.) Using AK_COMPILER_GCC simplifies
things some.
AK_COMPILER_CLANG isn't as much of a win, other than that it's
consistent with AK_COMPILER_GCC.
We previously had at least three different implementations for resolving
executables in the PATH, all of which had slightly different
characteristics.
Merge those into a single implementation to keep the behaviour
consistent, and maybe to make that implementation more configurable in
the future.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
These were accidental (or leftover) uses of String::characters() to
construct StringViews through its StringView(char const*) constructor.
Since this constructor is due to be removed, this will no longer work.
Plus this prevents strlen from being run on these strings unnecessarily.
This also makes us a bit more accurate, due to better rounding of
intermediate results.
This also gives us the flush-to-zero and denormals-are-zero SSE settings
for free! (Assuming UE is build with SSE)
This allows disassembly of binaries with SSE2 instructions in them.
SSE2 also extends all MMX instructions without affecting the mnemonic,
therefore these are just directed to the same function for now.
The UserspaceEmulator does not know this as of
this commit.
This almost fully implements the SSE extension, similar to the x87 and
MMX extensions, using a separate class "SoftVPU".
Currently missing are all shadow and exception checks, as well as the
denormals-are-zero and flush-to-zero flags.
Also missing are some integer-SIMD functions.
The obsolete ttyname and ptsname syscalls are removed.
LibC doesn't rely on these anymore, and it helps simplifying the Kernel
in many places, so it's an overall an improvement.
In addition to that, /proc/PID/tty node is removed too as it is not
needed anymore by userspace to get the attached TTY of a process, as
/dev/tty (which is already a character device) represents that as well.
...and implement SoftCPU::read_memory<T> with it.
This allows the MMU to read a typed object (using 1-byte reads), which
is significantly nicer to use than reading the struct fields manually.
Instead of making it hold the shadow data as another `T`, make it hold
the data as a byte array, and allow it to read the byte array as `T`.
This makes it much easier to make a "read_typed" function in the MMU.
While trying out `ue --profile` today, I received an invalid json
profile. After poking around at the file it looks like we never close
the `events: [..` array that we generate, and thus end up with an
invalid document.
The fix is straight forward, always emit the closing brace.
