Ed Hennis 012c67a7eb Rework subtraction rounding (again) for more accuracy
- Go back to the old method of computing the mantissa, but when post
  processing, expand the mantissa to slightly larger than maxMantissa,
  then in doRoundDown, if the result is not exact, subtract one.
  Finally, let doNormalize figure out the rounding of the result.

Basics

Utility functions and classes.

The module xrpl/basics should contain no dependencies on other modules.

Choosing an xrpld container.

  • std::vector

    • For ordered containers with most insertions or erases at the end.
  • std::deque

    • For ordered containers with most insertions or erases at the start or end.
  • std::list

    • For ordered containers with inserts and erases to the middle.
    • For containers with iterators stable over insert and erase.
    • Generally slower and bigger than std::vector or std::deque except for those cases.
  • std::set

    • For sorted containers.
  • xrpl::hash_set

    • Where inserts and contains need to be O(1).
    • For "small" sets, std::set might be faster and smaller.
  • xrpl::hardened_hash_set

The following container is deprecated

  • std::unordered_set
  • Use xrpl::hash_set instead, which uses a better hashing algorithm.
  • Or use xrpl::hardened_hash_set to prevent algorithmic complexity attacks.
