awesomekling LibIPC: Allow opt-in UTF-8 validation on message parameters 
You can now mark String message parameters with the [UTF8] attribute.
This will cause the generated decoder to perform UTF-8 validation and
reject the message if the given parameter is not a valid UTF-8 string.

This frees up the receiving side from having to do this validation at
a higher level.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Travis CI status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
