Currently we have a few things mixed up in the feature gating of
`hashes`.
Observe that:
- `io::Write` is not related to allocation.
- "std" should be able to enable "alloc".
Improve feature gating by doing:
- Enable "alloc" from "std" and simplify `cfg` codebase wide.
- Enable "internals/alloc" from "alloc".
- Fix feature gating to use the minimal requirement i.e., "alloc".
Remove `FromHex` from hash and script types
- Remove the `FromHex` implementation from hash types and `ScriptBuf`
- Remove the `FromStr` implementation from `ScriptBuf` because it does not
roundtrip with `Display`.
- Implement a method `from_hex` on `ScriptBuf`.
- Implement `FromStr` on hash types using a fixed size array.
This leaves `FromHex` implementations only on `Vec` and fixed size arrays.
We have old Rust 1.29 error handling code still in `hashes`. Implement
`std::error::Error` for the `hex::Error` and `error::Error` types in
line with "modern" Rust 1.41.1 error handling.
The `HexWriter` is not used any more since we added the new hex code in
internals for fast hex encoding.
While we are removing the benches for `HexWriter` also remove the last
remaining bench for writing using `Display` because this is not the
correct place for that code - its trivial to re add later in the correct
module.
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.
