* A new, unified interface for generating random numbers and
filling buffers supporting any engine that fits the
UniformRandomNumberGenerator concept;
* Automatically seeded replacement for rand using the fast
xorshift+ PRNG engine;
* A CSPRNG engine that can be used with the new framework
when needing to to generate cryptographically secure
randomness.
* Unit test cleanups to work with new engine.
Removes the base_uint constructor that took a string. Replaces
that functionality with two free functions named from_hex_text<>.
Use of from_hex_text<> looks like this:
auto v = from_hex_text<uint256>("AAA555");
static_assert (std::is_same<decltype(v), uint256>::value, "Huh!");
from_hex_text<> only operates on base_uint types. At the moment the
list of those types include:
o uint128,
o uint160,
o uint256,
o Directory,
o Account,
o Currency, and
o NodeID.
Using from_hex_text<> with any other types will not compile due to
an enable_if.
* Implement subtraction as addition to the additive inverse
* Do not allow comparison with, addition to or subtraction from integers
* Remove unused functions
* Convert member functions to free functions
* Isolate unit-test specific code into the unit test
The STAmount class includes a number of functions which serve as thin
wrappers, which are unused or used only in one place, or which break
encapsulation by exposing internal implemenation details. Removing
such functions simplifies the interface of the class and ensures
consistency.
* getSNValue and getNValue are now free functions
* canonicalizeRound is no longer exposed
* Removed addRound and subRound
* Removed overloads of multiply, mulRound, divide and divRound
This introduces the STVar container, capable of holding any STBase-derived
class and implementing a "small string" optimization. STObject is changed
to store std::vector<STVar> instead of boost::ptr_vector<STBase>. This
eliminates a significant number of needless dynamic memory allocations and
deallocations during transaction processing when ledger entries are
deserialized. It comes at the expense of larger overall storage requirements
for STObject.
* Remove unused members
* SerialIter holds only a pointer and offset now
* Use free functions for some Serializer members
* Use SerialIter in some places instead of Serializer
An alternative to the unity build, the classic build compiles each
translation unit individually. This adds more modules to the classic build:
* Remove unity header app.h
* Add missing includes as needed
* Remove obsolete NodeStore backend code
* Add app/, core/, crypto/, json/, net/, overlay/, peerfinder/ to classic build
Source files are moved between modules, includes changed and added,
and some code rewritten, with the goal of reducing cross-module dependencies
and eliminating cycles in the dependency graph of classes.
* Remove RippleAddress dependency in CKey_test
* ByteOrder.h, Blob.h, and strHex.h are moved to basics/. This makes
the basics/ module fully independent of other ripple sources.
* types/ is merged into protocol/. The protocol module now contains
all primitive types specific to the Ripple protocol.
* Move ErrorCodes to protocol/
* Move base_uint to basics/
* Move Base58 to crypto/
* Remove dependence on Serializer in GenerateDeterministicKey
* Eliminate unity header json.h
* Remove obsolete unity headers
* Remove unnecessary includes
