Bart 3a172301ce chore: Remove unity builds (#6300)
Unity builds were intended to speed up builds, by bundling multiple files into compilation units. However, now that ccache is available on all platforms, there is no need for unity builds anymore, as ccache stores compiled individual build objects for reuse. This change therefore removes the ability to make unity builds.

Basics

Utility functions and classes.

ripple/basic should contain no dependencies on other modules.

Choosing a rippled 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.
