This commit combines a number of cleanups, targeting both the
code structure and the code logic. Large changes include:
- Using more strongly-typed classes for SHAMap nodes, instead of relying
on runtime-time detection of class types. This change saves 16 bytes
of memory per node.
- Improving the interface of SHAMap::addGiveItem and SHAMap::addItem to
avoid the need for passing two bool arguments.
- Documenting the "copy-on-write" semantics that SHAMap uses to
efficiently track changes in individual nodes.
- Removing unused code and simplifying several APIs.
- Improving function naming.
- Simplify and consolidate code for parsing hex input.
- Replace beast::endian::order with boost::endian::order.
- Simplify CountedObject code.
- Remove pre-C++17 workarounds in favor of C++17 based solutions.
- Improve `base_uint` and simplify its hex-parsing interface by
consolidating the `SexHex` and `SetHexExact` methods into one
API: `parseHex` which forces callers to verify the result of
the operation; as a result some public-facing API endpoints
may now return errors when passed values that were previously
accepted.
- Remove the simple fallback implementations of SHA2 and RIPEMD
introduced to reduce our dependency on OpenSSL. The code is
slow and rarely, if ever, exercised and we rely on OpenSSL
functionality for Boost.ASIO as well.
* Remove DinD Service from container build template
DinD has changed how it works on GItLab due to recent docker changes such that the service no long needs to be called so long as the runner is being run on a `docker-X` tagged machine.
* refactor for docker service on normal node
When attempting to load a validator list from a configured
site, attempt to reuse the last IP that was successfully
used if that IP is still present in the DNS response.
Otherwise, randomly select an IP address from the list of
IPs provided by the DNS system.
This commit fixes#3494.
With few exceptions, servers will typically receive multiple copies
of any given message from its directly connected peers. For servers
with several peers this can impact the processing latency and force
it to do redundant work. Proposal and validation messages are often
relayed with extremely high redundancy.
This commit, if merged, introduces experimental code that attempts
to optimize the relaying of proposals and validations by allowing
servers to instruct their peers to "squelch" delivery of selected
proposals and validations. Servers making squelching decisions by
a process that evaluates the fitness and performance of a given
server and randomly selecting a subset of the best candidates.
The experimental code is presently disabled and must be explicitly
enabled by server operators that wish to test it.
Tickets are a mechanism to allow for the "out-of-order" execution of
transactions on the XRP Ledger.
This commit, if merged, reworks the existing support for tickets and
introduces support for 'ticket batching', completing the feature set
needed for tickets.
The code is gated under the newly-introduced `TicketBatch` amendment
and the `Tickets` amendment, which is not presently active on the
network, is being removed.

Commit 4dc08f820258ac6c62071c7070c175e48352f8b3 introduced support for
deterministic shards, which makes the sharding functionality provided
by rippled more useful.
After merging, several opportunities for further improvements to the
deterministic sharding implementation were identified and a significant
increase int memory usage during shard finalization was detected.
Because of these issues, the commit is being reverted and the feature is
being rolled back. It will be reintroduced in a future release.
* Builds Windows dependencies first.
* Builds ALL OSs in the last stage.
* Fix the MacOS builds.
* Windows dependency stages are allowed to fail so ALL configurations will
attempt to build. Windows builds will probably fail if dependencies fail
(caching may allow them to succeed), but they will at least be attempted.
* Remove broken AppVeyor config file, so it stops trying.
This change can help improve the liveness of the network during periods of network
instability, by allowing the network to track which validators are presently not online
and to disregard them for the purposes of quorum calculations.
If the 'HardenedValidations' amendment is enabled, this commit will
track the version of the software that validators embed in their
validations.
If a server notices that at least 60% of the validators on its UNL
are running a newer version than it is running, it will periodically
print an informational message, reminding the operator to check for
update.
This commit, if merged, adds support to allow multiple indepedent nodes to
produce a binary identical shard for a given range of ledgers. The advantage
is that servers can use content-addressable storage, and can more efficiently
retrieve shards by downloading from multiple peers at once and then verifying
the integrity of a shard by cross-checking its checksum with the checksum
other servers report.
* Improve documentation
* Make the ShardArchiveHandler rather than the DatabaseShardImp perform
LastLedgerHash verification for downloaded shards
* Remove ShardArchiveHandler's singleton implementation and make it an
Application member
* Have the Application invoke ShardArchiveHandler initialization
instead of clients
* Add RecoveryHandler as a ShardArchiveHandler derived class
* Improve commenting
* Add documentation for shard validation
* Retrieve last ledger hash for imported shards
* Verify the last ledger hash in Shard::finalize
* Limit last ledger hash retrieval attempts for imported shards
* Use a common function for removing failed shards
* Add new ShardInfo::State for imported shards
The built-in watchdog is simplistic and can, sometimes, cause problems
especially on systems that have the ability to automatically start and
monitor processes.
This commit removes the sustain system entirely, changes the handling
of the SIGTERM signal to properly terminate the process and improves
the error message reported to the user when the command line used to
start `rippled` is incorrect and malformed.
This commit removes obsolete comments, dead or no longer useful
code, and workarounds for several issues that were present in older
compilers that we no longer support.
Specifically:
- It improves the transaction metadata handling class, simplifying
its use and making it less error-prone.
- It reduces the footprint of the Serializer class by consolidating
code and leveraging templates.
- It cleanups the ST* class hierarchy, removing dead code, improving
and consolidating code to reduce complexity and code duplication.
- It shores up the handling of currency codes and the conversation
between 160-bit currency codes and their string representation.
- It migrates beast::secure_erase to the ripple namespace and uses
a call to OpenSSL_cleanse instead of the custom implementation.
The automated build system only builds packages signed with a list of
approved keys. This is a security measure to prevent someone who gains
push access to the repository from producing potentially malicious
packages that are signed by Ripple's trusted private keys.
Moving this list to the new location makes it easy to add and delete
new keys to the list.
* Peers negotiate compression via HTTP Header "X-Offer-Compression: lz4"
* Messages greater than 70 bytes and protocol type messages MANIFESTS,
ENDPOINTS, TRANSACTION, GET_LEDGER, LEDGER_DATA, GET_OBJECT,
and VALIDATORLIST are compressed
* If the compressed message is larger than the uncompressed message
then the uncompressed message is sent
* Compression flag and the compression algorithm type are included
in the message header
* Only LZ4 block compression is currently supported
* Make ShardArchiveHandler a singleton.
* Add state database for ShardArchiveHandler.
* Use temporary database for SSLHTTPDownloader downloads.
* Make ShardArchiveHandler a Stoppable class.
* Automatically resume interrupted downloads at server start.
* Reduce lock scope on all public functions
* Use TaskQueue to process shard finalization in separate thread
* Store shard last ledger hash and other info in backend
* Use temp SQLite DB versus control file when acquiring
* Remove boost serialization from cmake files
- 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.
