Per XLS-0095, we are taking steps to rename ripple(d) to xrpl(d).
This change specifically removes all copyright notices referencing Ripple, XRPLF, and certain affiliated contributors upon mutual agreement, so the notice in the LICENSE.md file applies throughout. Copyright notices referencing external contributions remain as-is. Duplicate verbiage is also removed.
This change fixes the suite names all around the test files, to make them match to the folder name in which this test files are located. Also, the RCL test files are relocated to the consensus folder, because they are testing consensus functionality.
The codebase is filled with includes that are unused, and which thus can be removed. At the same time, the files often do not include all headers that contain the definitions used in those files. This change uses clang-format and clang-tidy to clean up the includes, with minor manual intervention to ensure the code compiles on all platforms.
When writing objects to the NodeStore, we need to convert them from
the in-memory format to the binary format used by the node store.
The conversion is handled by the `EncodedBlob` class, which is only
instantiated on the stack. Coupled with the fact that most objects
are under 1024 bytes in size, this presents an opportunity to elide
a memory allocation in a critical path.
This commit also simplifies the interface of `EncodedBlob` and
eliminates a subtle corner case that could result in dangling
pointers.
These changes are not expected to cause a significant reduction in
memory usage. The change avoids the use of a `std::shared_ptr` when
unnecessary and tries to use stack-based memory allocation instead
of the heap whenever possible.
This is a net gain both in terms of memory usage (lower
fragmentation) and performance (less work to do at runtime).
