We currently have 2 base64 coders: one in AK, another in LibWeb for a
"forgiving" implementation. ECMA-262 has an upcoming proposal which will
require a third implementation.
Instead, let's use the base64 implementation that is used by Node.js and
recommended by the upcoming proposal. It handles forgiving decoding as
well.
Our users of AK's implementation should be fine with the forgiving
implementation. The AK impl originally had naive forgiving behavior, but
that was removed solely for performance reasons.
Using http://mattmahoney.net/dc/enwik8.zip (100MB unzipped) as a test,
performance of our old home-grown implementations vs. the simdutf
implementation (on Linux x64):
Encode Decode
AK base64 0.226s 0.169s
LibWeb base64 N/A 1.244s
simdutf 0.161s 0.047s
We no longer have multiple locations including AK (e.g. LibC). So let's
avoid awkwardly defining the AK library across multiple CMake files.
This is to allow more easily adding third-party dependencies to AK in
the future.
As recommended by the CMake docs, let's tolerate systems or setups that
don't have backtrace(3) in the `<execinfo.h>` header file, such as those
using libbacktrace directly.
This large commit also refactors LibWebView's process handling to use
a top-level Application class that uses a new WebView::Process class to
encapsulate the IPC-centric nature of each helper process.
This fixes some errors where too many bytes were allowed to be read for
signed integers of a smaller size (e.g. i32). The new parser doesn't
make 64-bit assumptions and now matches the generality of its unsigned
counterpart.
The [UTF-8](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3629#page-5)
standard says to reject strings with upper or lower surrogates. However,
in many standards, ECMAScript included, unpaired surrogates (and
therefore UTF-8 surrogates) are allowed in strings. So, this commit
extends the UTF-8 validation API with `AllowSurrogates`, which will
reject upper and lower surrogate characters.
Format string checking was disabled in Clang-based builds due to a
compiler bug: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51182. Now
that the requirement has been raised to Clang 17, that is no longer
necessary.
This has been tested to work correctly with Apple Clang 15.0.0 (which is
the *least modern* supported compiler), as well as CLion 2024.1's
bundled Clangd.
Instead of being opt-out with NOESCAPE, it is now opt-in with ESCAPING.
Opt-out is ideal, but unfortunately this was extremely noisy when
compiling the entire codebase. Escaping functions are rarer than non-
escaping ones, so let's just go with that for now.
This also allows us to gradually add heuristics for detecting missing
ESCAPING annotations and emitting them as errors. It also nicely matches
the spelling that Swift uses (@escaping), which is where this idea
originally came from.
With this change, ".*make.*" function family now does error checking
earlier, which improves experience while using clangd. Note that the
change also make them instantiate classes a bit more eagerly, so in
LibVideo/PlaybackManager, we have to first define SeekingStateHandler
and only then make() it.
