[webkit-dev] PSA: JSC::UString will retire, String is excited to meet you

[Benjamin Poulain]

Hi WebKit-dev,


Some unifying has been done between String and UString, and it will
soon be time to remove UString entirely.

The benefits of removing UStrings are:
-Simpler code.
-No need to implement each feature in String and UString
-Fewer ref-deref
-Smaller binary (about 44kb smaller on Mac x86_64)

The bug is https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95271
I want to do some more performance testing and hopefully the patch
will land tomorrow.

Cheers,
Benjamin

PS: Gyuyoung Kim has verified the ELF build. Can someone help with the GTK EWS?
PSS: It is likely to break something somewhere, some help after
landing is appreciated.
