The only reason we need `hex-conservative` is to parse strings and
format them as hex. For users that do not require this functionality we
can make the `hex-conservative` crate an optional dependency.
The `serde` feature requires `Display` so we enable `hex` from the
`serde` feature.
If `hex` feature is not enabled we still need to be able to debug so
provide `fmt::Debug` functionality by way of macros.
Close: #2654
`s.parse` is more idiomatic and produces more helpful error messages.
This has been changed repo wide in the main codebase, not including
examples, rustdocs, and in the test module.
`use std::str::FromStr;` has been removed where this change makes
it unnecessary.
This commit illustrates the transformation I intend to make everywhere
we use newtyped hashes as "general hashes". *Within the module that the
newtype is defined* I encapsulate engine calls, which I do by calling
engine methods on the underlying general hash function. So within the
module there is a slight reduction in type safety, in the sense that I
need to make sure that I'm wrapping stuff properly.
But outside of the module, there will be no difference except that I
will no longer export engine/from_engine/hash/etc on newtyped hashes.
Instead callers will need to compute the newtyped hash only in ways
supported by the API.
In theory we could have a macro to produce engine/from_engine/etc for
newtypes that want to act as general hashes. But AFAICT there is no use
case for this.
Alternately, we could have a macro that produces *private* Engine types
and private engine/from_engine/etc methods for the hashes, which could
be used within the module and would provide stronger type safety within
the module. But in practice, raw hashing is usually only used within a
couple of methods, so all this infrastructure is way overkill and will
just make maintenance harder for everybody.
Its not immediately obvious why we nest the whole `io` code in an `io`
submodule within `lib.rs`. As far as I can tell we can inline it and
re-export from `rust-bitcoin` same as we do for our other dependencies.
This change would effect other users of the crate but since the `io`
crate is unreleased this effects no-one except us.
In order to support standard (de)serialization of structs, the
`rust-bitcoin` ecosystem uses the standard `std::io::{Read,Write}`
traits. This works great for environments with `std`, however sadly
the `std::io` module has not yet been added to the `core` crate.
Thus, in `no-std`, the `rust-bitcoin` ecosystem has historically
used the `core2` crate to provide copies of the `std::io` module
without any major dependencies. Sadly, its one dependency,
`memchr`, recently broke our MSRV.
Worse, because we didn't want to take on any excess dependencies
for `std` builds, `rust-bitcoin` has had to have
mutually-exclusive `std` and `no-std` builds. This breaks general
assumptions about how features work in Rust, causing substantial
pain for applications far downstream of `rust-bitcoin` crates.
Here, we add a new `bitcoin_io` crate, making it an unconditional
dependency and using its `io` module in the in-repository crates
in place of `std::io` and `core2::io`. As it is not substantial
additional code, the `hashes` io implementations are no longer
feature-gated.
This doesn't actually accomplish anything on its own, only adding
the new crate which still depends on `core2`.
Seems we no longer need an explicit error handler, remove it.
I did not grok the reason (long thread link below) but just removed it
and checked that the embedded crates still ran correctly.

The API guidelines say macro input should be evocative of the output.
`hash_newtype` didn't have this property.
This change makes it look exactly like the resulting struct, `$len`
parameter was removed since it's not needed, reversing is controlled
using an attribute. The macro is also better documented and ready to be
extended in the future.
The tagged SHA256 newtype is not yet modified because it has a more
complicated input parameters.
Closes#1648
The `ToHex` trait was replaced by either simple `Display`/`LowerHex`
where appropriate or `DisplayHex` from `bitcoin_internals` which is
faster.
This change replaces the usages and removes the trait.
We would like to bring the `bitcoin_hashes` crate into the
`rust-bitcoin` repository.
Import `bitcoin_hashes` into `rust-bitocin/hashes`, doing so looses all
the commit history from the original crate but if we archive the
original repository then the history will be preserved. We maintain the
same version number obviously and in the changelog we note the change of
repository.
Commit hash that was tip of `bitcoin_hashes` at time of import:
commit 54c16249e06cc6b7870c7fc07d90f489d82647c7
Includes making `embedded` and `fuzzing` per-crate i.e., move them into
`bitcoin` as hashes includes these also.
NOTE: Does _not_ enable fuzzing for `hashes` in CI.
Notes on CI:
Attempts to merge in the github actions from the hashes crate however reduces
coverage by not running hashes tests for beta toolchain. Some additional
work could be done to improve the CI to increase efficiency without
reducing coverage. Leaving for another day.
