Problem/Motivation

\Drupal\file\Entity\File::getSize() can cause deprecations on PHP 8.1 because we pass the NULL value into format_size() in template_preprocess_file_link()

Steps to reproduce

Run \Drupal\Tests\file\Kernel\FileItemTest

Proposed resolution

Either make \Drupal\file\Entity\File::getSize() conform to its interface - it says it returns a string or fix template_preprocess_file_link()

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Can we update the docblock of the function format_size() that the first parameter must be a int or a float. Can we also do a check for that and throw a deprecation warning when this is not the case. See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.abs.php

I think the question here is not about format_size() but about whether the fix should be in \Drupal\file\Entity\File::getSize() or template_preprocess_file_link()

From core/includes/common.inc:

function format_size($size, $langcode = NULL) {
  $absolute_size = abs($size);

and PHP defines the functions abs() as abs(int|float $num): int|float. Therefor the variable $size must be an integer value or a float value. It is not saying anything about allowing string values.

@daffie see https://3v4l.org/ejYM6 - not all PHP docs are correct.

Related issues: +#2157945: Deprecate format_size() and use Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\ByteSizeMarkup instead

I bet it because PHP using internal conversion from strings to numbers, I bet because https://wiki.php.net/rfc/string_to_number_comparison

No need to fix docs for function which is going to be deprecated (naming question) #2157945: Deprecate format_size() and use Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\ByteSizeMarkup instead

The issue fixes the problem as #7 points with BC so no CR needed
