We would like the codebase to be optimized for readability not ease of
development, as such code that is write-once-read-many should not use
macros.
Currently we use the `impl_std_error` macro to implement
`std::error::Error` for struct error types. This makes the code harder
to read at a glance because one has to think what the macro does.
Remove the `impl_std_error` macro and write the code explicitly.
This implements basic facilities to conditionally carry string inputs in
parse errors. This includes:
* `InputString` type that may carry the input and format it
* `parse_error_type!` macro creating a special type for parse errors
* `impl_parse` implementing parsing for various types as well as its
`serde`-supporting alternative
We currently use the functions `min_value` and `max_value` because the
consts were not available in Rust 1.41.1, however we recently bumped the
MSRV so we can use the consts now.
As we did for the `bitcoin` crate, remove attribution from all files in
the `internals` crate.
While we are at it add an SPDX line to the few files missing it, whether
this license nonsense is even needed is left as an argument for another
day.
Justification:
Currently we have a mishmash of attribution lines accompanying the SPDX
identifier. These lines are basically meaningless because:
- The date is often wrong
- The original author attributed is not the only contributor to a file
- The term "rust bitcoin developers" is basically just noise
Just remove all the attribution lines and be done with it.
If we use `#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_auto_cfg))]` instead of
`#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_cfg))]` we no longer need to manually
mark types with `#[cfg_attr(docsrs, doc(cfg(feature = "std")))]`.
Sweeeeeet.
Various formatting issues have crept into the codebase because we do not
run the formatter in CI.
In preparation for enabling formatting checks in CI run `cargo +nightly
fmt` to fix current formatting issues. No changes other than those
create by the formatter.
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.
3e520f9094 Use hex from internals rather than hashes (Martin Habovstiak)
Pull request description:
`bitcoin-internals` contains a more performant implementation of hex encoding than what `bitcoin_hashes` uses internally. This switches the implementations for formatting trait implementations as a step towards moving over completely.
The public macros are also changed to delegate to inner type which is technically a breaking change but we will break the API anyway and the consuers should only call the macro on the actual hash newtypes where the inner types already have the appropriate implementations.
Apart from removing reliance on internal hex from public API this reduces duplicated code generated and compiled. E.g. if you created 10 hash newtypes of SHA256 the formatting implementation would be instantiated 11 times despite being the same.
To do all this some other changes were required to the hex infrastructure. Mainly modifying `put_bytes` to accept iterator (so that `iter().rev()` can be used) and adding a new `DisplayArray` type. The iterator idea was invented by Tobin C. Harding, this commit just adds a bound check and generalizes over `u8` and `&u8` returning iterators.
While it may seem that `DisplayByteSlice` would suffice it'd create and initialize a large array even for small arrays wasting performance. Knowing the exact length `DisplayArray` fixes this.
Another part of refactoring is changing from returning `impl Display` to return `impl LowerHex + UpperHex`. This makes selecting casing less annoying since the consumer no longer needs to import `Case` without cluttering the API with convenience methods.

This fixes several API bugs:
* Use `TryFrom` instead of `From` for fallible conversions
* Move byte conversion methods from `impl_array_newtype` to
`impl_bytes_newtype`
* Add missing trait impls like `AsRef`, `Borrow`, their mutable versions
and infallible conversions from arrays

Pnicking on oversized slice is useful to catch errors in code that's
supposed to know the exact sizes but this is undesirable in code that
doesn't. These two methods help with handling the case when `buf.len()`
is not known upfront.
All the types that we define with `impl_array_newtype` are
`Copy` so the correct conversion method to get the underlying byte array
is `to_bytes`. We currently provide `into_bytes` as well as `to_bytes`,
with one of them calling `clone` - this is unnecessary and against
convention.
- Remove `into_bytes` and for `to_bytes` just return the inner field.
- Add a method that causes build to fail if `Copy` is not implemented.
`impl_array_newtype` is an internal macro, move it to a new, ever so
meaningfully named, `macros` module.
Use `#[macro_export]`, no other changes to the macro.
1bf885550e Redesign `hex::BufEncoder` to accept owned arrays (Martin Habovstiak)
Pull request description:
Not being able to create an owned `BufEncoder` prevented returning it from functions which need to allocate the buffer on stack. Such is the case in WIP serde via consensus serialzation.
This change refactors `OutBytes` to be unsized, adds an `AsOutBytes` trait and uses that one instead of `Into` to perform the conversion.
Closes#1270
This is meant as potentially mergeable demonstration. Interestingly, it was easier than I expected.

There's a `hex` module in `bitcoin_hashes` which is a bit out of place
and not very fast - it passes each *digit* through dynamic dispatch not
only adding overhead but also not allowing `String` to make better
allocations.
This change adds basic support for hex encoding using a stack-allocated
buffer which minimizes the overhead of dynamic dispatch. It also
provides a new `DisplayHex` trait designed to replace `ToHex` found in
`bitcoin_hashes`.
Add a new crate `bitcoin-internals` to be used for internal code needed
by multiple soon-to-be-created crates.
Add the `write_err` macro to `bitcoin-internals`, nothing else.
This patch uses a `path` dependency which means `rust-bitcoin` cannot be
released in its current state, will need to be changed once we release
the `bitcoin-internals` crate on `crates.io`.
