* Return empty hash when set or vector is empty in crypto. * Changing <operator in sequence_hash struct. * Fixing vm script and allowing only single sync target per vpath. * Making vm cluster log level to debug. * Increasing hpws max message size and fixing lcl mode in vm cluster scripts. * lcl block fix.
Hot Pocket Consensus Engine
What's here?
In development
A C++ version of hotpocket designed for production envrionments, original prototype here: https://github.com/codetsunami/hotpocket
Libraries
- Crypto - Libsodium https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium
- jsoncons (for JSON and BSON) - https://github.com/danielaparker/jsoncons
- P2P Protocol - https://google.github.io/flatbuffers
- Fuse filesystem - https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse
- Reader Writer Queue - https://github.com/cameron314/readerwriterqueue
- Concurrent Queue - https://github.com/cameron314/concurrentqueue

Setting up Hot Pocket development environment
Run the setup script located at the repo root (tested on Ubuntu 18.04).
./dev-setup.sh
Build Hot Pocket
- Run
cmake .(You only have to do this once) - Run
make(Hot Pocket binary will be created as./build/hpcore) - Refer to the Wiki for instructions on running Hot Pocket.
FlatBuffers message definitions
If you update flatbuffers message definitions, you need to run the flatbuffers code generator to update the stubs.
Example: When you make a change to p2pmsg.fbs defnition file, you need to run this:
flatc -o src/msg/fbuf/ --gen-mutable --cpp src/msg/fbuf/p2pmsg.fbs
Code structure
Code is divided into subsystems via namespaces.
conf:: Handles configuration. Loads and holds the central configuration object. Used by most of the subsystems.
crypto:: Handles cryptographic activities. Wraps libsodium and offers convenience functions.
sc:: Handles smart contract process execution and managing user/SC I/O and npl I/O. Makes use of usr, p2p and hpfs.
usr:: Handles user connections. Makes use of crypto and comm.
p2p:: Handles peer-to-peer connections and message exchange between nodes. Makes use of crypto and comm.
consensus:: Handles consensus and proposal rounds. Makes use of usr, p2p and sc
ledger:: Maintains the ledger and handles ledger syncing activites.
comm:: Handles generic web sockets communication functionality. Mainly acts as a wrapper for hpws.
util:: Contains shared data structures/helper functions used by multiple subsystems.
hpfs:: hpfs state management client helpers.
