This replaces the hack of OFAdjacentData being able to keep a pointer to
the parent. file: [c534072540] check-in: [d1a8c88dc6] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 16164 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While the idea sounds nice that the tag name is the class, this means the
serialization includes whether something is mutable or immutable. This means
doing as much as making something immutable changes the serialization, which
can then cause issues after being deserialized. file: [fedaecf95c] check-in: [6ce0093f8d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 13201 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Otherwise every second method would need to have
OFInvalidArgumentException documented. file: [f9aa8dca83] check-in: [96e0a91a06] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14148 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The new names should be more accurate. file: [7ddb882b03] check-in: [627511b032] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14750 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

-[allocMemoryWithSize:] has book keeping overhead that is unnecessary
for temporary memory. file: [20a79e42c1] check-in: [0ddaac3f5b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14753 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While it makes sense to wrap malloc and calloc to replace the error
checking with exceptions, it does not make sense to wrap free. file: [8ada741898] check-in: [3d8286feee] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14753 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The internal hash is still 32 bit in most places, but this way, it is at
least not baked into the API and ABI and can be upgraded later, should
that ever be necessary. file: [fe0918c4c9] check-in: [aeb403a1ed] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14787 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

It is not guaranteed that a type encoding for it exists. file: [1f025529e1] check-in: [d74f244ab7] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14778 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

When using self = [self init…], this already releases self on an
exception, so using it inside of a @try / @catch block that releases
self would lead to a double-release. file: [8d40ffbf81] check-in: [81156ee75a] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14287 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

These were unavailable in the immutable class, but available in the
mutable subclass. However, Clang 3.4 does not support this. file: [f8e15d9a7d] check-in: [dae363ef82] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 14276 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

OFMutableData supports no copy now by just copying anyway and freeing if
required. file: [d98f273881] check-in: [6cf7d6c33e] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12403 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Since OFComparing no longer conforms to OFObject, OFObject needed to be
added at a few places. file: [7aeee7380b] check-in: [11f24addd7] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12433 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This removes all query methods and replaces them by a single one that
returns a dictionary. Not only does this allow querying multiple
attributes at once, it is also more extensible, as the previous
attributes were specific to file URLs. file: [995d1dfd33] check-in: [34fe205b84] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12423 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This also adds -[OFURL fileSystemRepresentation] to correctly convert a
URL back to a path in the local file system. file: [878145eec0] check-in: [b83d1414b1] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12394 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Instead, explicitly declare them, as OF_ASSUME_NONNULL_{BEGIN,END} does
not apply to implicit return types. This means that after this commit,
all init methods have a nonnull return type, as they should have. file: [15a4b9e206] check-in: [2f4e0df8be] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12374 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This does not make OFHTTPClientResponse completely asynchronous yet.

Since -[initWithURL:] does not work well with an asynchronous API, it no
longer supports HTTP URLs. However, a new, asynchronous API will be
added as a replacement later on. file: [74dd1893f5] check-in: [56a18442e2] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12198 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This removes "b" for binary and always uses binary, as there is no good
reason to not use binary. file: [504d17c5e3] check-in: [23e57c5040] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 13991 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
