Calculate the number of file descriptors that are needed during
execution based on the configuration file, with a hard floor
of 1024, adjusting the limit if possible. Refuse to run if enough
fds are not available.
Additionally, allow administrators to limit the number of incoming
connections a configured port will accept. By default no limit is
imposed.
* Remove cxx14 compatibility layer from ripple
* Update travis to clang 3.6 and drop gcc 4.8
* Remove unneeded beast CXX14 defines
* Do not run clang build with gdb with travis
* Update circle ci to clang 3.6 & gcc-5
* Don't run rippled in gdb, clang builds crash gdb
* Staticly link libstdc++, boost, ssl, & protobuf
* Support builds on ubuntu 15.10
* Add Backend::verify API for doing consistency checks
* Add Database::close so caller can catch exceptions
* Improved Timing test for NodeStore creates a simulated workload
An alternative to the unity build, the classic build compiles each
translation unit individually. This adds more modules to the classic build:
* Remove unity header app.h
* Add missing includes as needed
* Remove obsolete NodeStore backend code
* Add app/, core/, crypto/, json/, net/, overlay/, peerfinder/ to classic build
Makes rippled configurable to support deletion of all data in its key-value
store (nodestore) and ledger and transaction SQLite databases based on
validated ledger sequence numbers. All records from a specified ledger
and forward shall remain available in the key-value store and SQLite, and
all data prior to that specific ledger may be deleted.
Additionally, the administrator may require that an RPC command be
executed to enable deletion. This is to align data deletion with local
policy.
