Note that as of this commit, there aren't any such throwers, and the
call site in Heap::allocate will drop exceptions on the floor. This
commit only serves to change the declaration of the overrides, make sure
they return an empty value, and to propagate OOM errors frm their base
initialize invocations.
When trying to figure out the correct implementation, we now have a very
strong distinction on plugins that are well suited for sniffing, and
plugins that need a MIME type to be chosen.
Instead of having multiple calls to non-static virtual sniff methods for
each Image decoding plugin, we have 2 static methods for each
implementation:
1. The sniff method, which in contrast to the old method, gets a
ReadonlyBytes parameter and ensures we can figure out the result
with zero heap allocations for most implementations.
2. The create method, which just creates a new instance so we don't
expose the constructor to everyone anymore.
In addition to that, we have a new virtual method called initialize,
which has a per-implementation initialization pattern to actually ensure
each implementation can construct a decoder object, and then have a
correct context being applied to it for the actual decoding.
This is to differentiate between the upcoming `AllocatingMemoryStream`,
which automatically allocates memory as needed instead of operating on a
static memory area.
This generally seems like a better name, especially if we somehow also
need a better name for "read the entire buffer, but not the entire file"
somewhere down the line.
LibFuzzer documentation [1] states that all return values except for 0
and -1 are currently reserved for future use. -1 is a special return
value that causes LibFuzzer to not add a testing input to the testing
corpus, regardless of the code coverage that it causes.

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 now prepares all the needed (fallible) components before actually
constructing a LoaderPlugin object, so we are no longer filling them in
at an arbitrary later point in time.
The Demuxer class was changed to return errors for more functions so
that all of the underlying reading can be done lazily. Other than that,
the demuxer interface is unchanged, and only the underlying reader was
modified.
The MatroskaDocument class is no more, and MatroskaReader's getter
functions replace it. Every MatroskaReader getter beyond the Segment
element's position is parsed lazily from the file as needed. This means
that all getter functions can return DecoderErrors which must be
handled by callers.
As new demuxers are added, this will get quite full of files, so it'll
be good to have a separate folder for these.
To avoid too many chained namespaces, the Containers subdirectory is
not also a namespace, but the Matroska folder is for the sake of
separating the multiple classes for parsed information entering the
Video namespace.
The class is virtual and has one subclass, SubsampledYUVFrame, which
is used by the VP9 decoder to return a single frame. The
output_to_bitmap(Bitmap&) function can be used to set pixels on an
existing bitmap of the correct size to the RGB values that
should be displayed. The to_bitmap() function will allocate a new bitmap
and fill it using output_to_bitmap.
This new class also implements bilinear scaling of the subsampled U and
V planes so that subsampled videos' colors will appear smoother.
Instead of trying to create a Window and a Document, and use those to
create a ParsingContext, just use the JS::Realm only constructor to make
sure that bindings are stashed on the main thread VM's realm.
This is needed so that the allocated NativeFunction receives the correct
realm, usually forwarded from the Object's initialize() function, rather
than using the current realm.
Global object initialization is tightly coupled to realm creation, so
simply pass it to the function instead of relying on the non-standard
'associated realm' concept, which I'd like to remove later.
This works essentially the same way as regular Object::initialize() now.
Additionally this allows us to forward the realm to GlobalObject's
add_constructor() / initialize_constructor() helpers, so they set the
correct realm on the allocated constructor function object.
This matches the target names for the main serenity build, and will make
simplifying the Lagom build much easier going forward.
The LagomFoo name came from a time when we had both library builds in
the same CMake generated project and needed to deconflict the names.
Previously, we were sending Buffers to the server whenever we had new
audio data for it. This meant that for every audio enqueue action, we
needed to create a new shared memory anonymous buffer, send that
buffer's file descriptor over IPC (+recfd on the other side) and then
map the buffer into the audio server's memory to be able to play it.
This was fine for sending large chunks of audio data, like when playing
existing audio files. However, in the future we want to move to
real-time audio in some applications like Piano. This means that the
size of buffers that are sent need to be very small, as just the size of
a buffer itself is part of the audio latency. If we were to try
real-time audio with the existing system, we would run into problems
really quickly. Dealing with a continuous stream of new anonymous files
like the current audio system is rather expensive, as we need Kernel
help in multiple places. Additionally, every enqueue incurs an IPC call,
which are not optimized for >1000 calls/second (which would be needed
for real-time audio with buffer sizes of ~40 samples). So a fundamental
change in how we handle audio sending in userspace is necessary.
This commit moves the audio sending system onto a shared single producer
circular queue (SSPCQ) (introduced with one of the previous commits).
This queue is intended to live in shared memory and be accessed by
multiple processes at the same time. It was specifically written to
support the audio sending case, so e.g. it only supports a single
producer (the audio client). Now, audio sending follows these general
steps:
- The audio client connects to the audio server.
- The audio client creates a SSPCQ in shared memory.
- The audio client sends the SSPCQ's file descriptor to the audio server
with the set_buffer() IPC call.
- The audio server receives the SSPCQ and maps it.
- The audio client signals start of playback with start_playback().
- At the same time:
- The audio client writes its audio data into the shared-memory queue.
- The audio server reads audio data from the shared-memory queue(s).
Both sides have additional before-queue/after-queue buffers, depending
on the exact application.
- Pausing playback is just an IPC call, nothing happens to the buffer
except that the server stops reading from it until playback is
resumed.
- Muting has nothing to do with whether audio data is read or not.
- When the connection closes, the queues are unmapped on both sides.
This should already improve audio playback performance in a bunch of
places.
Implementation & commit notes:
- Audio loaders don't create LegacyBuffers anymore. LegacyBuffer is kept
for WavLoader, see previous commit message.
- Most intra-process audio data passing is done with FixedArray<Sample>
or Vector<Sample>.
- Improvements to most audio-enqueuing applications. (If necessary I can
try to extract some of the aplay improvements.)
- New APIs on LibAudio/ClientConnection which allows non-realtime
applications to enqueue audio in big chunks like before.
- Removal of status APIs from the audio server connection for
information that can be directly obtained from the shared queue.
- Split the pause playback API into two APIs with more intuitive names.
I know this is a large commit, and you can kinda tell from the commit
message. It's basically impossible to break this up without hacks, so
please forgive me. These are some of the best changes to the audio
subsystem and I hope that that makes up for this :yaktangle: commit.
