Beast includes a lot of code for encapsulating cross-platform differences
which are not used or needed by rippled. Additionally, a lot of that code
implements functionality that is available from the standard library.
This moves away from custom implementations of features that the standard
library provides and reduces the number of platform-specific interfaces
andfeatures that Beast makes available.
Highlights include:
* Use std:: instead of beast implementations when possible
* Reduce the use of beast::String in public interfaces
* Remove Windows-specific COM and Registry code
* Reduce the public interface of beast::File
* Reduce the public interface of beast::SystemStats
* Remove unused sysctl/getsysinfo functions
* Remove beast::Logger
* Header-only!
* No external dependencies or other beast modules
* Compilation options allow for:
- Stand-alone application to run a single test suite
- Stand-alone application to run a set of test suites
- Global suite of tests inline with the host application
- Disable test suite generation completely
* Existing tests reworked to use the new classes
* No longer requires its own compiler include path
* Includes use relative paths to locate the file
* Client applications include the file themselves
* Inclusion of BeastConfig.h can be controlled via preprocessor directive
