Taking an external dependency just to convert ints to byte arrays
is somewhat of a waste, especially when Rust isn't very aggressive
about doing cross-crate LTO.
Note that the latest LLVM pattern-matches this, and while I haven't
tested it, that should mean this means no loss of optimization.
The protocol has a bug where a 0u8 is pushed at the end of each
block header on the wire in headers messages. WHy this bug came
about is unrealted and shouldn't impact API design.
- Move network::encodable::* to consensus::encode::*
- Rename Consensus{En,De}codable to {En,De}codable (now under
consensus::encode)
- Move network::serialize::Error to consensus::encode::Error
- Remove Raw{En,De}coder, implement {En,De}coder for T: {Write,Read}
instead
- Move network::serialize::Simple{En,De}coder to
consensus::encode::{En,De}coder
- Rename util::Error::Serialize to util::Error::Encode
- Modify comments to refer to new names
- Modify files to refer to new names
- Expose {En,De}cod{able,er}, {de,}serialize, Params
- Do not return Result for serialize{,_hex} as serializing to a Vec
should never fail
Addresses #96.
Turns out it was being used for hex encoding/decoding, so replaced that with the `hex` crate.
i chose to import the `decode` method as:
```
use hex::decode as hex_decode
```
so that it is clear to the reader what is being decoded when it is called. "decode" is such a generic sounding function name that it would get confusing otherwise.
Work is stalled on some other library work (to give better lifetime
requirements on `eventual::Future` and avoid some unsafety), so
committing here.
There are only three errors left in this round :)
Also all the indenting is done, so there should be no more massive
rewrite commits. Depending how invasive the lifetime-error fixes
are, I may even be able to do sanely sized commits from here on.
27 files changed, 3944 insertions(+), 3812 deletions(-) :} I've
started doing whitespace changes as well, I want everything to
be 4-space tabs from now on.
Reconnecting an existing socket simply was not working; the Rust socket
did not expose any methods for reconnection, so I simply tried calling
connect() again. As near as I can tell, this was a no-op --- which makes
sense because both the sending and receiving threads had their own copy
of the Socket, and it's not clear what the synchronization behaviour
should have been.
Instead if the connection fails, we relay this information to the main
thread, wait for an acknowledgement, then simply destroy the listening
thread. The caller can then simply call `start()` again.
Looks like to implement the crypto opcodes I may need to switch from
rust-crypto to rust-openssl.. or implement RIPEMD-160 for rust-crypto.
In either case I will need to generalize the hash.rs stuff to support
other hashes, so I'm committing here as a checkpoint before doing all
that.
This is a massive simplification, fixes a couple endianness bugs (though
not all of them I don't think), should give a speedup, gets rid of the
`serialize_iter` crap.
I think this is what I want to do for everything json-visible...perhaps
I will not be able to keep the macro for it though, since there are
some clever variations on it (e.g. blocks should have their header's
hash as a field, txes should appear as txids unless vebose output is
requested, etc.)
We were conflicting with the Rust stdlib trait Hash, which is used
by various datastructures which need a general hash. Also implement
Hash for Sha256dHash so that we can use bitcoin hashes as keys for
such data structures.
