Beast includes a lot of code for encapsulating cross-platform differences
which are not used or needed by rippled. Additionally, a lot of that code
implements functionality that is available from the standard library.
This moves away from custom implementations of features that the standard
library provides and reduces the number of platform-specific interfaces
andfeatures that Beast makes available.
Highlights include:
* Use std:: instead of beast implementations when possible
* Reduce the use of beast::String in public interfaces
* Remove Windows-specific COM and Registry code
* Reduce the public interface of beast::File
* Reduce the public interface of beast::SystemStats
* Remove unused sysctl/getsysinfo functions
* Remove beast::Logger
* Zero lets classes efficiently compare with 0, so
you can use constructors like x < zero or y != zero.
* New BEAST_CONSTEXPR to handle Windows/C++11 differences
regarding the constexpr specifier.
* Common code extracted to Python directories.
* Read ~/.scons file for scons environment defaults.
* Override scons settings with shell environment variables.
* New "tags" for debug, nodebug, optimize, nooptimize builds.
* Universal platform detection.
* Default value of environment variables set through prefix dictionaries.
* Check for correct Boost value and fail otherwise.
* Extract git describe --tags into a preprocesor variable, -DTIP_BRANCH
* More colors - blue for unchanged defaults, green for changed defaults, red for error.
* Contain unit tests for non-obvious stuff.
* Check to see that boost libraries have been built.
* Right now, we accept both .dylib and .a versions but it'd be easy to enforce .a only.
* is_contiguous_hashable trait identifies optimizable types
* hash_append() function overloads for basic types:
- scalars, floats
- array, C array
- pair, tuple
- boost array and tuple (if configured)
* Provided Spooky hash wrapper for use with hash_append
* Use hash_append in hardened_hash and other places
* New Utility meta functions for working with variadics:
- static_and
- static_sum
* Added type_name utility function for diagnostics
* hash_metrics suite of functions to evalulate hash functions
* Test suites to measure hash function performance
* Various fixes
* No longer requires its own compiler include path
* Includes use relative paths to locate the file
* Client applications include the file themselves
* Inclusion of BeastConfig.h can be controlled via preprocessor directive
* Add CallQueue vflib compatibility class
* Use run instead of run_one
* Merge BindableServiceQueue into CallQueue
* Take BEAST_VARIADIC_MAX into account
* Fix license headers as suggested by Vinnie
* Remove obsolete comment
* Add ManualServiceQueue
* Add ManualServiceQueue to beast_vflib include
* Move static unit test variables of header only classes to module cpp
* Remove no longer used mutex member
* _VARIADIC_MAX maxes out at 10
* Correctly apply BEAST_VARIADIC_MAX
* Merge BindableServiceQueue into CallQueue
* New GuiServiceQueue and its JUCE dependency
* Fix leftover merge errors
* Fix CallQueue unit test
* Don't use bassert for better CI support
