Pratik Mankawde 87eb3fcf3b perf: Add single-pass ranged normalization to Number
IOUAmount::normalize() previously built a Number (one normalize pass to
the default Large range) and then re-normalized down to the narrower IOU
range via fromNumber (a second pass) -- two full passes where one would
do.

Add a static Number::normalizeToRange<Min,Max>(mantissa, exponent) that
normalizes raw integers straight to a target range in a single pass,
building no intermediate Number. Refactor the existing const member
overload to share one implementation, so both paths have a single source
of truth. Rewire the getSTNumberSwitchover()-true branch of
IOUAmount::normalize() to call the new primitive.

The result is bit-identical to the old two-pass path: an intermediate
pass to a strictly wider range cannot change the final narrower-range
result. Equivalence is proven by new GTests that sweep mantissa/exponent
boundaries, negatives, int64 extremes, rounding cusps, and all four
rounding modes against the prior two-pass result, plus exact-value
assertions on hand-computed cases.

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.
