This documents cargo features in two ways: explictly in text and in code
using `#[doc(cfg(...))]` attribute where possible. Notably, this is
impossible for `serde` derives. The attribute is contitional and only
activated for docs.rs or explicit local builds.
This change also adds `package.metadata.docs.rs` field to `Cargo.toml`
which instructs docs.rs to build with relevant features and with
`docsrs` config activated enabling `#[doc(cfg(...))] attributes.
I also took the opportunity to fix a few missing spaces in nearby code.
Based on the original work by Justin Moon.
*MSRV unchanged from 1.29.0.*
When `std` is off, `no-std` must be on, and we use the [`alloc`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/alloc/) and core2 crates. The `alloc` crate requires the user define a global allocator.
* Import from `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
* `alloc` only used if `no-std` is on
* Create `std` feature
* Create `no-std` feature which adds a core2 dependency to polyfill `std::io` features. This is an experimental feature and should be
used with caution.
* CI runs tests `no-std`
* MSRV for `no-std` is 1.51 or so
This is instead of encode::Errors because the encoders should
not be allowed to return errors that don't originate in the writer
they are writing into.
This is a part of the method definition that has been relied upon for a
while already.
This is a port of the bitcoin-core CPartialMerkleTree and CMerkleBlock classes.
Here they are called PartialMerkleTree and MerkleBlock.
These are useful for SPV clients that wish to verify that a transaction is
present in a specific block in an authenticated way.
