The XRP Ledger utilizes an account model. Unlike systems based on a UTXO
model, XRP Ledger accounts are first-class objects. This design choice
allows the XRP Ledger to offer rich functionality, including the ability
to own objects (offers, escrows, checks, signer lists) as well as other
advanced features, such as key rotation and configurable multi-signing
without needing to change a destination address.
The trade-off is that accounts must be stored on ledger. The XRP Ledger
applies reserve requirements, in XRP, to protect the shared global ledger
from growing excessively large as the result of spam or malicious usage.
Prior to this commit, accounts had been permanent objects; once created,
they could never be deleted.
This commit introduces a new amendment "DeletableAccounts" which, if
enabled, will allow account objects to be deleted by executing the new
"AccountDelete" transaction. Any funds remaining in the account will
be transferred to an account specified in the deletion transaction.
The amendment changes the mechanics of account creation; previously
a new account would have an initial sequence number of 1. Accounts
created after the amendment will have an initial sequence number that
is equal to the ledger in which the account was created.
Accounts can only be deleted if they are not associated with any
obligations (like RippleStates, Escrows, or PayChannels) and if the
current ledger sequence number exceeds the account's sequence number
by at least 256 so that, if recreated, the account can be protected
from transaction replay.
At this point all of the jss::* names are defined in the same
file. That file has been named JsonFields.h. That file name
has little to do with either JsonStaticStrings (which is what
jss is short for) or with jss. The file is renamed to jss.h
so the file name better reflects what the file contains.
All includes of that file are fixed. A few include order
issues are tidied up along the way.
* Using txnsExpected_, which is influenced by both the config
and network behavior, can reserve far too much or far too
little memory, wasting time and resources.
* Not an issue during normal operation, but a user could
cause problems on their local node with extreme configuration
settings.
* Rename isArray to isArrayOrNull
* Rename isObject to isObjectOrNull
* Introduce isArray and isObject
* Change as many uses of isArrayorNull to isArray as possible
* Change as many uses of isObjectorNull to isObject as possible
* Reject null JSON arrays for subscribe and unsubscribe
In order to automatically run unit tests with newly created
amendments, prefer to start with jtx::supported_features() and
then subtract unwanted features.
These changes identified a few bugs that were hiding in
amendments. One of those bugs, in FlowCross, is not yet fixed.
By uncommenting the test in CrossingLimits_test.cpp you can see
failures relating to that bug. Since FlowCross is not yet
enabled on the network we can fix the bug at our convenience.
Enable all supported amendments in Env by default. Rename `features()`
to `with_features()` and add `all_features_except()` to support feature
subsets in Env. Refactor internal feature handling based on a bitset.
Add envconfig test helper for manipulating Env config via
callables. Create new common modifiers for non-admin config,
validator config and one for using different server port values.
When started with "--start", put all known, non-vetoed
amendments in the genesis ledger. This avoids the need
to wait 256 ledgers before amendments are enabled when
testing with a fresh ledger.
When attempting to parse a BufferSequence as a JSON object,
if the sequence contained more than buffer, the JSON parser
would incorrectly attempt to decode each buffer as a separate
JSON object, instead of one complete object.
