Add two simple integer wrapper types for abstracting over block
height (from genesis block) and block interval.
This does not include hex because block height is typically written in
decimal.
These types are very thin wrappers, their usecase is to assist in code
readability instead of enforcing any logic.
Currently we re-export two error types at the crate root, this is
surprising because:
- Why not none or all the rest?
- Why these two?
Observe that the `ParseIntError` is special in that it is used by
other modules so its good to have at the crate root (other errors are
expected to be used with a module prefix eg, `amount::ParseError`).
There is no obvious reason why `ParseAmountError` is re-exported.
Comment and doc inline the `ParesIntError`, remove the re-export of
the `ParseAmountError`.
Make an attempt to improve the ergonomics and docs clarity of the
`units` crate.
- Don't inline error type re-exports, this keeps them up in the
"Re-exports" section and saves cluttering the other inlined docs.
- Re-export and inline the docs for `FeeRate` and `Weight` same as we do
for `Amount`. This makes the "Structs" section of the docs nice except
for the exclusion of the locktime types (which cannot be helped).
This lint triggers when parsing a reference to a large struct as a
generic argument, which is wrong.
Allow it crate wide because [subjectively] this lint never warns for
anything useful.
Currently we are deriving the serde traits for the `absolute::{Height,
Time}` types, this is incorrect because we maintain an invariant on
the inner `u32` of both types that it is above or below the threshold.
Manually implement the serde traits and pass the deserialized `u32` to
`from_consensus` to maintain the invariant.
Close: #2559
Move the following unit types to the new `units` crate:
- `locktime::absolute::{Height, Time}`
- `locktime::relative::{Height, Time}`
- `FeeRate`
- `Weight`
Also move the `parse` module as well as constants as required.
Do minimal changes to get things building:
- Feature gate on "alloc" as needed.
- Remove rustdocs that use `bitcoin` types.
- Re-export units types so this is a non-breaking change.
- Fix import paths.
Make the trait level attributes uniform across all released crates in
the repo. Excludes things that are obviously not needed, eg, bench stuff
if there is not bench code.
- Remove `uninhabited_references` - this is allow by default now.
- Remove `unconditional_recursion` and mark the single false positive we
have with an `allow`.
Note, this does not add `missing_docs` to the `io` crate. There is an
open PR at the moment to add that along with the required docs.
Previously the crate used negative reasoning to enable `std` which was
hard to understand, required the `prelude` module and wasn't really
needed because it's only needed when a crate wants to add `alloc`
feature-backwards compatibly and this crate always had the feature.
This cleans up usage to unconditionally use `#[no_std]` and then just
add `extern crate` on top as needed by activated features.
Using the crate without allocation was previously disabled making the
crate empty without the feature. This chage makes it more fine-grained:
it only disables string and float conversions which use allocator. We
could later provide float conversions by using a sufficiently-long
`ArrayString`.
