Ed Hennis ffc0d26d20 Merge remote-tracking branch 'mywork/ximinez/lending-number' into ximinez/lending-XLS-66
* mywork/ximinez/lending-number:
  Add a distinction between a "valid" and a "representable" Number
  chore: Point xrpld symlink to rippled (6012)
  Catch up the consequences of Number changes
  Fix build error - avoid copy
  Add integer enforcement when converting to XRP/MPTAmount to Number
  Make all STNumber fields "soeDEFAULT"
  Add optional enforcement of valid integer range to Number

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.
  • ripple::hash_set

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

The following container is deprecated

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