When writing objects to the NodeStore, we need to convert them from
the in-memory format to the binary format used by the node store.
The conversion is handled by the `EncodedBlob` class, which is only
instantiated on the stack. Coupled with the fact that most objects
are under 1024 bytes in size, this presents an opportunity to elide
a memory allocation in a critical path.
This commit also simplifies the interface of `EncodedBlob` and
eliminates a subtle corner case that could result in dangling
pointers.
These changes are not expected to cause a significant reduction in
memory usage. The change avoids the use of a `std::shared_ptr` when
unnecessary and tries to use stack-based memory allocation instead
of the heap whenever possible.
This is a net gain both in terms of memory usage (lower
fragmentation) and performance (less work to do at runtime).
Introduces a conanfile.py (and a Conan recipe for RocksDB) to enable building the package with Conan, choosing more recent default versions of dependencies. It removes almost all of the CMake build files related to dependencies, and the configurations for Travis CI and GitLab CI. A new set of cross-platform build instructions are written in BUILD.md.
Includes example GitHub Actions workflow for each of Linux, macOS, Windows.
* Test on macos-12
We use the <concepts> library which was not added to Apple Clang until
version 13.1.6. The default Clang on macos-11 (the sometimes current
version of macos-latest) is 13.0.0, and the default Clang on macos-12 is
14.0.0.
Closes#4223.
The existing spinlock code, used to protect SHAMapInnerNode
child lists, has a mistake that can allow the same child to
be repeatedly locked under some circumstances.
The bug was in the `SpinBitLock::lock` loop condition check
and would result in the loop terminating early.
This commit fixes this and further simplifies the lock loop
making the correctness of the code easier to verify without
sacrificing performance.
It also promotes the spinlock class from an implementation
detail to a more general purpose, easier to use lock class
with clearer semantics. Two different lock types now allow
developers to easily grab either a single spinlock from an
a group of spinlocks (packed in an unsigned integer) or to
grab all of the spinlocks at once.
While this commit makes spinlocks more widely available to
developers, they are rarely the best tool for the job. Use
them judiciously and only after careful consideration.
The amendment increases the maximum sign of an account's signer
list from 8 to 32.
Like all new features, the associated amendment is configured with
a default vote of "no" and server operators will have to vote for
it explicitly if they believe it is useful.
* Abort background path finding when closed or disconnected
* Exit pathfinding job thread if there are no requests left
* Don't bother creating the path find job if there are no requests
* Refactor to remove circular dependency between InfoSub and PathRequest
The existing trust line caching code was suboptimal in that it stored
redundant information, pinned SLEs into memory and required multiple
memory allocations per cached object.
This commit eliminates redundant data, reducing the size of cached
objects and unpinning SLEs from memory, and uses value_types to
avoid the need for `std::shared_ptr`. As a result of these changes, the
effective size of a cached object, includes the overhead of the memory
allocator and the `std::shared_ptr` should be reduced by at least 64
bytes. This is significant, as there can easily be tens of millions
of these objects.
In order to preserve the Hooks ABI, it is important that field
values used for hooks be stable going forward.
This commit reserves the required codes so that they will not
be repurposed before Hooks can be proposed for inclusion in
the codebase.
