After splitting a node, the new node was written to the same pointer as
the current node - probably a copy / paste error. This new code requires
a `.pointer() -> u32` to exist on the object to be serialized,
preventing this issue from happening again.
Fixes#15844.
This prevents us from needing a sv suffix, and potentially reduces the
need to run generic code for a single character (as contains,
starts_with, ends_with etc. for a char will be just a length and
equality check).
No functional changes.
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.
Classes reading and writing to the data heap would communicate directly
with the Heap object, and transfer ByteBuffers back and forth with it.
This makes things like caching and locking hard. Therefore all data
persistence activity will be funneled through a Serializer object which
in turn submits it to the Heap.
Introducing this unfortunately resulted in a huge amount of churn, in
which a number of smaller refactorings got caught up as well.
Unfortunately this patch is quite large.
The main functionality included are a BTree index implementation and
the Heap class which manages persistent storage.
Also included are a Key subclass of the Tuple class, which is a
specialization for index key tuples. This "dragged in" the Meta layer,
which has classes defining SQL objects like tables and indexes.
