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.
Per issue #2354, when the log level of a server was configured at
"trace", sensitive keying meterial generated by the `wallet_propose`
command could be written to the server's log file, if one was
configured.
This commit improves the log scrubbing code to account for the
sensitive information generated by a `wallet_propose`.
** Important security consideration **
We still caution everyone *against* executing this command on a
server that they do not control: a malicious server operator could
intercept the generated keypair, or operate a modified server that
returns keypairs that are not securely generated.
Previously, writes using debugLog() tagged every entry with
"TRC:". Now users of debugLog() must specify the severity
level they want their information logged at.
Replace Journal public data members with member function accessors
in order to make Journal lighter weight. The change makes a
Journal cheaper to pass by value.
Also add missing stream checks (e.g., calls to JLOG) to avoid
text processing that ultimately will not be stored in the log.
The Journal API is affected. There are two uses for the
Journal::Severity enum:
o It is used to declare a threshold which log messages must meet
in order to be logged.
o It declares the current logging level which will be compared
to the threshold.
Those uses that affect the threshold are now named threshold()
rather than severity() to make the uses easier to distinguish.
Additionally, Journal no longer carries a Severity variable.
All handling of the threshold() is now delegated to the
Journal::Sink.
Sinks are no longer constructed with a default threshold of
kWarning; their threshold must be passed in on construction.
