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.
This needs to happen before prototype/constructor intitialization can be
made lazy. Otherwise, GC could run during the C++ constructor and try to
collect the object currently being created.
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 is the way.
On a more serious note, there's no reason to keep adding ref-counted
classes to LibWeb now that the majority of classes is GC'd - it only
adds the risk of discovering some cycle down the line, and forces us to
use handles as we can't visit().
With the addition of the 'fetch params' struct, the single ownership
model we had so far falls apart completely.
Additionally, this works nicely for FilteredResponse's internal response
instead of risking a dangling reference.
Replacing the public constructor with a create() function also found a
few instances of a Request being stack-allocated!
