Add `STObject` constructor to explicitly set the inner object template. This allows certain AMM transactions to apply in the same ledger: There is no issue if the trading fee is greater than or equal to 0.01%. If the trading fee is less than 0.01%, then: - After AMM create, AMM transactions must wait for one ledger to close (3-5 seconds). - After one ledger is validated, all AMM transactions succeed, as appropriate, except for AMMVote. - The first AMMVote which votes for a 0 trading fee in a ledger will succeed. Subsequent AMMVote transactions which vote for a 0 trading fee will wait for the next ledger (3-5 seconds). This behavior repeats for each ledger. This has no effect on the ultimate correctness of AMM. This amendment will allow the transactions described above to succeed as expected, even if the trading fee is 0 and the transactions are applied within one ledger (block).
protocol
Classes and functions for handling data and values associated with the XRP Ledger protocol.
Serialized Objects
Objects transmitted over the network must be serialized into a canonical format. The prefix "ST" refers to classes that deal with the serialized format.
The term "Tx" or "tx" is an abbreviation for "Transaction", a commonly occurring object type.
Optional Fields
Our serialized fields have some "type magic" to make optional fields easier to read:
- The operation
x[sfFoo]means "return the value of 'Foo' if it exists, or the default value if it doesn't." - The operation
x[~sfFoo]means "return the value of 'Foo' if it exists, or nothing if it doesn't." This usage of the tilde/bitwise NOT operator is not standard outside of therippledcodebase.- As a consequence of this,
x[~sfFoo] = y[~sfFoo]assigns the value of Foo from y to x, including omitting Foo from x if it doesn't exist in y.
- As a consequence of this,
Typically, for things that are guaranteed to exist, you use
x[sfFoo] and avoid having to deal with a container that may
or may not hold a value. For things not guaranteed to exist,
you use x[~sfFoo] because you want such a container. It
avoids having to look something up twice, once just to see if
it exists and a second time to get/set its value.
(Real example)
The source of this "type magic" is in SField.h.
