- Move header to base/include to make it applicable for base types
like 'Affinity' down the road.
- Represent 'Rect' as typle of point and area, which is the most
common form of initialization, creates in valid 'Rect' by default.
- Turn Point, Area, and Rect into compound types, making x, y, w, h, at,
area accessible without a method call
- 'Rect::Compound' function for constructing a 'Rect' from two points,
replacing a former constructor
- Use result type 'Rect::Cut_remainder' instead of out parameters.
Fixes#5239
This patch turns 'Color' from a class to a POD type by replacing
the constructors by the named create functions 'rgb', 'clamped_rgb',
and 'clamped_rgba'. It thereby enables the initialization of Color
values using { .r = ... } syntax and makes the type usable in const
expressions.
It also narrows the type for color components and alpha values to
uint8_t. So possible integer overflows of computed values are detected
by -Wconversion.
As 'Color::rgb(0, 0, 0)' is repeatedly used as a default value, the
patch adds the 'Color::black()' function.
Fixes#5238
The implementations of snprintf and vsnprintf are not needed for the
loading of png images by the demo applications. So we can avoid the
dependency from the format library hosted in the libports repository.
Issue #2064
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
