There have been cases in the past where SFields have been defined
in such a way that they did not follow our conventions. In
particular, the string representation of an SField should match
the in-code name of the SField.
This change leverages the preprocessor to encourage SFields to
be properly constructed.
The suffixes of SField types are changed to be the same as
the suffixes of corresponding SerializedTypeIDs. This allows
The preprocessor to match types using simple name pasting.
Since the string representation of the SField is part of our
stable API, the name of sfPayChannel was changed to sfChannel.
This change allows sfChannel to follow our conventions while
making no changes to our external API.
Entries in the ledger are located using 256-bit locators. The locators
are calculated using a wide range of parameters specific to the entry
whose locator we are calculating (e.g. an account's locator is derived
from the account's address, whereas the locator for an offer is derived
from the account and the offer sequence.)
Keylets enhance type safety during lookup and make the code more robust,
so this commit removes most of the earlier code, which used naked
uint256 values.
- Add support for all transaction types and ledger object types to gRPC
implementation of tx and account_tx.
- Create common handlers for tx and account_tx.
- Remove mutex and abort() from gRPC server. JobQueue is stopped before
gRPC server, with all coroutines executed to completion, so no need for
synchronization.
The XRP Ledger utilizes an account model. Unlike systems based on a UTXO
model, XRP Ledger accounts are first-class objects. This design choice
allows the XRP Ledger to offer rich functionality, including the ability
to own objects (offers, escrows, checks, signer lists) as well as other
advanced features, such as key rotation and configurable multi-signing
without needing to change a destination address.
The trade-off is that accounts must be stored on ledger. The XRP Ledger
applies reserve requirements, in XRP, to protect the shared global ledger
from growing excessively large as the result of spam or malicious usage.
Prior to this commit, accounts had been permanent objects; once created,
they could never be deleted.
This commit introduces a new amendment "DeletableAccounts" which, if
enabled, will allow account objects to be deleted by executing the new
"AccountDelete" transaction. Any funds remaining in the account will
be transferred to an account specified in the deletion transaction.
The amendment changes the mechanics of account creation; previously
a new account would have an initial sequence number of 1. Accounts
created after the amendment will have an initial sequence number that
is equal to the ledger in which the account was created.
Accounts can only be deleted if they are not associated with any
obligations (like RippleStates, Escrows, or PayChannels) and if the
current ledger sequence number exceeds the account's sequence number
by at least 256 so that, if recreated, the account can be protected
from transaction replay.
At this point all of the jss::* names are defined in the same
file. That file has been named JsonFields.h. That file name
has little to do with either JsonStaticStrings (which is what
jss is short for) or with jss. The file is renamed to jss.h
so the file name better reflects what the file contains.
All includes of that file are fixed. A few include order
issues are tidied up along the way.
