Vito 8bb57c395e Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/develop' into tapanito/vault-block-deposit
Adapt Vault_test.cpp to current develop APIs:
- Rename keylet::loanbroker -> keylet::loanBroker.
- Rename keylet::mptIssuance -> keylet::mptokenIssuance.
- Rename namespace loanBroker -> loan_broker (test helper).
- Wrap bare env.seq(...) and integer literals in
  SeqProxy::rawSequence(...) for keylet::loanBroker / keylet::loan.
- Drop the stale testVaultDeleteData in favor of develop's
  testVaultDeleteMemoData.
- Guard the three MPT non-transferable test cases that depend on
  the removed tmfMPTCanMutateCanTransfer / tmfMPTClearCanTransfer
  mutable-flag API with #if 0 and a FIXME; there is no supported way
  on develop to clear lsfMPTCanTransfer after MPT creation.

protocol

Classes and functions for handling data and values associated with the XRP Ledger protocol.

Serialized Objects

Objects transmitted over the network must be serialized into a canonical format. The prefix "ST" refers to classes that deal with the serialized format.

The term "Tx" or "tx" is an abbreviation for "Transaction", a commonly occurring object type.

Optional Fields

Our serialized fields have some "type magic" to make optional fields easier to read:

  • The operation x[sfFoo] means "return the value of 'Foo' if it exists, or the default value if it doesn't."
  • The operation x[~sfFoo] means "return the value of 'Foo' if it exists, or nothing if it doesn't." This usage of the tilde/bitwise NOT operator is not standard outside of the xrpld codebase.
    • As a consequence of this, x[~sfFoo] = y[~sfFoo] assigns the value of Foo from y to x, including omitting Foo from x if it doesn't exist in y.

Typically, for things that are guaranteed to exist, you use x[sfFoo] and avoid having to deal with a container that may or may not hold a value. For things not guaranteed to exist, you use x[~sfFoo] because you want such a container. It avoids having to look something up twice, once just to see if it exists and a second time to get/set its value. (Real example)

The source of this "type magic" is in SField.h.
