Use C++17 constant expressions to calculate the inverse
alphabet map at compile time instead of at runtime.
Remove support for encoding & decoding tokens using the
Bitcoin alphabet.
The existing platform detection code was derived from the old Beast
library, which was, itself, derived from JUCE.
This commit removes that code and replaces it with the Boost.Predef
library which defines a consistent set of compiler, architecture,
operating system, library, and other version numbers.
For more on Boost.Predef, please see the Boost documentation. The
documentation for the current version as of this writing is at:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/doc/html/predef.html
This commit restructures the HTTP based protocol negotiation that `rippled`
executes and introduces support for negotiation of compression for peer
links which, if implemented, should result in significant bandwidth savings
for some server roles.
This commit also introduces the new `[network_id]` configuration option
that administrators can use to specify which network the server is part of
and intends to join. This makes it possible for servers from different
networks to drop the link early.
The changeset also improves the log messages generated when negotiation
of a peer link upgrade fails. In the past, no useful information would
be logged, making it more difficult for admins to troubleshoot errors.
This commit also fixes RIPD-237 and RIPD-451
Problem:
- There are several specific overloads with some custom code that can be
easily replaced using Boost.Hex.
Solution:
- Introduce `strHex(itr, itr)` to return a string given a begin and end
iterator.
- Remove `strHex(itr, size)` in favor of the `strHex(T)` where T is
something that has a `begin()` member function. This allows us to
remove the strHex overloads for `std::string`, Blob, and Slice.
The RippleAddress class was used to represent a number of fundamentally
different types: account public keys, account secret keys, node public
keys, node secret keys, seeds and generators.
The class is replaced by the following types:
* PublicKey for account and node public keys
* SecretKey for account and node private keys
* Generator for generating secp256k1 accounts
* Seed for account, node and generator seeds
