Entries in the ledger are located using 256-bit locators. The locators
are calculated using a wide range of parameters specific to the entry
whose locator we are calculating (e.g. an account's locator is derived
from the account's address, whereas the locator for an offer is derived
from the account and the offer sequence.)
Keylets enhance type safety during lookup and make the code more robust,
so this commit removes most of the earlier code, which used naked
uint256 values.
This commit removes obsolete comments, dead or no longer useful
code, and workarounds for several issues that were present in older
compilers that we no longer support.
Specifically:
- It improves the transaction metadata handling class, simplifying
its use and making it less error-prone.
- It reduces the footprint of the Serializer class by consolidating
code and leveraging templates.
- It cleanups the ST* class hierarchy, removing dead code, improving
and consolidating code to reduce complexity and code duplication.
- It shores up the handling of currency codes and the conversation
between 160-bit currency codes and their string representation.
- It migrates beast::secure_erase to the ripple namespace and uses
a call to OpenSSL_cleanse instead of the custom implementation.
Currently there is no mechanism for a validator to report the
version of the software it is currently running. Such reports
can be useful for those who are developing network monitoring
dashboards and server operators in general.
This commit, if merged, defines an encoding scheme to encode
a version string into a 64-bit unsigned integer and adds an
additional optional field to validations.
This commit piggybacks on "HardenedValidations" amendment to
determine whether version information should be propagated
or not.
The general encoding scheme is:
XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY
X: 16 bits identifying the particular implementation
Y: 48 bits of data specific to the implementation
The rippled-specific format (implementation ID is: 0x18 0x3B) is:
00011000-00111011-MMMMMMMM-mmmmmmmm-pppppppp-TTNNNNNN-00000000-00000000
M: 8-bit major version (0-255)
m: 8-bit minor version (0-255)
p: 8-bit patch version (0-255)
T: 11 if neither an RC nor a beta
10 if an RC
01 if a beta
N: 6-bit rc/beta number (1-63)
This commit introduces the "HardenedValidations" amendment which,
if enabled, allows validators to include additional information in
their validations that can increase the robustness of consensus.
Specifically, the commit introduces a new optional field that can
be set in validation messages can be used to attest to the hash of
the latest ledger that a validator considers to be fully validated.
Additionally, the commit leverages the previously introduced "cookie"
field to improve the robustness of the network by making it possible
for servers to automatically detect accidental misconfiguration which
results in two or more validators using the same validation key.
- Add missing `#include` in `ripple/core/JobTypeInfo.h`
- Protect version string from clang-format in
`ripple/protocol/impl/BuildInfo.cpp`.
`Builds/CMake/RippledVersion.cmake` searches for this line by pattern.
The payment engine restricts payment paths so two steps do not input the
same Currency/Issuer or output the same Currency/Issuer. This check was
skipped when the path started or ended with XRP. An example of a path
that was incorrectly accepted was: XRP -> //USD -> //XRP -> EUR
This patch enables the path loop check for paths that start or end with
XRP.
When computing rates for offers, an STAmount's value can be out of can be out of
range (before canonicalizing). There was an assert that could incorrectly fire
in some cases. This patch removes that assert.
The fix1781 amendment was incorrectly introduced during conflict
resolution and support for it is not included at this time. This commit
removes the definition of the amendment identifier.
* In and Out parameters were swapped when calculating the rate
* In and out qualities were not calculated correctly; use existing functions
to get the qualities
* Added tests to check that theoretical quality matches actual computed quality
* Remove in/out parameter from qualityUpperBound
* Rename an overload of qualityUpperBound to adjustQualityWithFees
* Add fix amendment
STAmount::soTime and soTime2 were time based "amendment like"
switches to control small changes in behavior for STAmount.
soTime2, which was the most recent, was dated Feb 27, 2016.
That's over 3 years ago.
The main reason to retain these soTimes would be to replay
old transactions. The likelihood of needing to replay a
transaction from over three years ago is pretty low. So it
makes sense to remove these soTime values.
In Flow_test the testZeroOutputStep() test is removed. That
test started to fail when the STAmount::soTimes were removed.
I checked with the original author of the test. He said
that the code being tested by that unit test has been removed,
so it makes sense to remove the test. That test is removed.
The existing platform detection code was derived from the old Beast
library, which was, itself, derived from JUCE.
This commit removes that code and replaces it with the Boost.Predef
library which defines a consistent set of compiler, architecture,
operating system, library, and other version numbers.
For more on Boost.Predef, please see the Boost documentation. The
documentation for the current version as of this writing is at:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/doc/html/predef.html
This commit restructures the HTTP based protocol negotiation that `rippled`
executes and introduces support for negotiation of compression for peer
links which, if implemented, should result in significant bandwidth savings
for some server roles.
This commit also introduces the new `[network_id]` configuration option
that administrators can use to specify which network the server is part of
and intends to join. This makes it possible for servers from different
networks to drop the link early.
The changeset also improves the log messages generated when negotiation
of a peer link upgrade fails. In the past, no useful information would
be logged, making it more difficult for admins to troubleshoot errors.
This commit also fixes RIPD-237 and RIPD-451
