Legacy workarounds for Visual Studio non thread-safe initialization
of function local objects with static storage duration are removed:
* Remove LeakChecked
* Remove StaticObject
* Remove SharedSingleton
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
* Rename unity files
* Move some modules to new subdirectories
* Remove obsolete Visual Studio project files
* Remove obsolete coding style and TODO list
* Wraps standard integer types to provide type-safety
* Named types provide self-documenting semantics
* Catches programmer errors involving mismatched types at compile time
* Operators restrict mutation to only safe and meaningful operations
* 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.
* 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
* Header-only!
* No external dependencies or other beast modules
* Compilation options allow for:
- Stand-alone application to run a single test suite
- Stand-alone application to run a set of test suites
- Global suite of tests inline with the host application
- Disable test suite generation completely
* Existing tests reworked to use the new classes
* 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
* New maybe_const_t alias for maybe_const
* New asio::enable_wait_for_async for safe cleanup
* New asio::memory_buffer, a managed boost::asio compatible buffer
* shared_handler improvements:
- Can be 'empty' (no stored handler).
- Default constructible as 'empty'.
- Safe evaluation in bool contexts, false==empty
* Fix is_call_possible metafunction:
- Works on empty argument lists
- Works with reference types
* Replace SafeBool idiom with C++11 explicit operator bool
* Move IPAddress function definitions to the header
* Move cyclic_iterator to container/
* Remove unused BufferType
* Remove obsolete classes:
- NamedPipe
- ReadWriteLock
- ScopedReadLock
- ScopedWriteLock
- LockGuard
