* Tally and duration counters for Job Queue tasks and RPC calls
optionally rendered by server_info and server_state, and
optionally printed to a distinct log file.
- Tally each Job Queue task as it is queued, starts, and
finishes running. Track total duration queued and running.
- Tally each RPC call as it starts and either finishes
successfully or throws an exception. Track total running
duration for each.
* Track currently executing Job Queue tasks and RPC methods
along with durations.
* Json-formatted performance log file written by a dedicated
thread, for above-described data.
* New optional parameter, "counters", for server_info and
server_state. If set, render Job Queue and RPC call counters
as well as currently executing tasks.
* New configuration section, "[perf]", to optionally control
performance logging to a file.
* Support optional sub-second periods when rendering human-readable
time points.
protocol
Classes and functions for handling data and values associated with the Ripple protocol.
Serialized Objects
In ripple objects transmitted over the network must be serialized into a canonical format. The prefix "ST" refers to classes that deal with the serialized format of ripple objects.
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 therippledcodebase.- 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.
- As a consequence of this,
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.
