A few unit tests have historically generated a lot of noise
to the console from log writes. This noise was not useful
and made it harder to locate actual test failures.
By changing the log level of these tests from
- severities::kError to
- severities::kDisabled
it was possible to remove that noise coming from the logs.
This patch removes calls to several deprecated asio functions.
* `io_service::post` becomes `post` (free function)
* `io_service::work` becomes `executor_work_guard`
* `io_service::wrap` becomes `bind_executor`
* `get_io_context` becomes `get_executor` or `get_executor().context()`
This patch was tested with boost 1.69 and 1.70. The functions
`ripple::get_lowest_layer` and `beast::create_waitable_timer` are required to
handle a breaking difference between these versions. When rippled no longer
needs to support pre 1.70 boost versions, both of these functions may be
removed, and the waitable timer injections may also be removed.
Fixes: RIPD-1574
Alias beast address classes to the asio equivalents. Adjust users of
address classes accordingly. Fix resolver class so that it can support
ipv6 addresses. Make unit tests use ipv6 localhost network. Extend
endpoint peer message to support string endpoint
representations while also supporting the existing fields (both are
optional/repeated types). Expand test for Livecache and Endpoint.
Workaround some false positive ipaddr tests on windows (asio bug?)
Replaced usage of address::from_string(deprecated) with free function
make_address. Identified a remaining use of v4 address type and
replaced with the more appropriate IPEndpoint type (rpc_ip cmdline
option). Add CLI flag for using ipv4 with unit tests.
Release Notes
-------------
The optional rpc_port command line flag is deprecated. The rpc_ip
parameter now works as documented and accepts ip and port combined.
All uses of beast::Thread were previously removed from the code
base, so beast::Thread is removed. One piece of beast::Thread
needed to be preserved: the ability to set the current thread's
name. So there's now a beast::CurrentThreadName that allows the
current thread's name to be set and returned.
Thread naming is also cleaned up a bit. ThreadName.h and .cpp
are removed since beast::CurrentThreadName does a better job.
ThreadEntry is also removed, but its terminateHandler() is
preserved in TerminateHandler.cpp. The revised terminateHandler()
uses beast::CurrentThreadName to recover the name of the running
thread.
Finally, the NO_LOG_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTIONS #define is removed since
it was discovered that the MacOS debugger preserves the stack
of the original throw even if the terminateHandler() rethrows.
The existing configuration includes 512 and 1024 bit DH
parameters and supports ciphers such as RC4 and 3DES and
hash algorithms like SHA-1 which are no longer considered
secure.
Going forward, use only 2048-bit DH parameters and define
a new default set of modern ciphers to use:
HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS:!SHA1:!3DES:!RC4:!EXPORT:!DSS
Additionally, allow administrators who wish to have different
settings to configure custom global and per-port ciphers suites
in the configuration file using the `ssl_ciphers` directive.
