Our decoding code reads bytes in very small chunks. Which is not
efficient when dealing with the OS where the cost of a context switch is
significant. People could already buffer the data but it's easy to
forget it by accident.
This change requires the new `io::BufRead` trait instead of `io::Read`
in all bounds.
Code such as `Transaction::consensus_decode(&mut File::open(foo))` will
break after this is applied, uncovering the inefficiency.
This was originally Kix's work, done before we had the `io` crate.
Changes to `bitcoin` were originally his, any new mistakes are my own.
Changes to `io` are mine.

Better describe what the nonce is used for.
Note this file has not had its docs manicured so the line length is 80
still, just use the same line length instead of the conventional 100.
Fix: #575
There is no advantage in having `io::Read` as opposed to `Read` and
importing the trait. It is surprising that we do so.
Remove `io::` path from `io::Read` and `io::Write`. Some docs keep the
path, leave them as is. Add import `use io::{Read, Write}`.
Refactor only, no logic changes.
We would like all the various hash types to be defined where they
rightly live instead of in the `hash_types` module.
Move the BIP-158 filter hash types to the `bip158` module.
We would like all the various hash types to be defined where they
rightly live instead of in the `hash_types` module.
Move transaction hash types to the `transaction` module.
We would like all the various hash types to be defined where they
rightly live instead of in the `hash_types` module.
Move the block hash types to the `block` module. While moving, add full
stops to the rustdoc of each hash.
Re-export _all four_ types from lib.rs (previously `WitnessMerkleNode`
was not re-exported).
We have a convention in `rust-bitcoin` to use external crates directly
when importing them not via `crate::foo`.
Update all the import paths for `io` to use this form.

Pull request description:
In order to support standard (de)serialization of structs, the
`rust-bitcoin` ecosystem uses the standard `std::io::{Read,Write}`
traits. This works great for environments with `std`, however sadly
the `std::io` module has not yet been added to the `core` crate.
Thus, in `no-std`, the `rust-bitcoin` ecosystem has historically
used the `core2` crate to provide copies of the `std::io` module
without any major dependencies. Sadly, its one dependency,
`memchr`, recently broke our MSRV.
Worse, because we didn't want to take on any excess dependencies
for `std` builds, `rust-bitcoin` has had to have
mutually-exclusive `std` and `no-std` builds. This breaks general
assumptions about how features work in Rust, causing substantial
pain for applications far downstream of `rust-bitcoin` crates.
This is mostly done, I'm still finalizing the `io::Error` commit at the end to drop the `core2` required dep in no-std, but its getting there. Would love further feedback on the approach or code-level review on these first handful of commits.

In order to move towards our own I/O traits in the `rust-bitcoin`
ecosystem, we have to slowly replace our use of the `std` and
`core2` traits.
Here we take the second big step, replacing
`{std,core2}::io::Read` with our own `bitcoin_io::io::Read`. We
provide a blanket impl for our trait for all `std::io::Read`, if
the `std` feature is enabled, allowing users who use their own
streams or `std` streams to call `rust-bitcoin` methods directly.
Improve the public exports in two ways:
1. Inline re-exports into the docs of the module that re-exports them.
2. Separate public and private use statements
Recently we discussed a way to separate the public and private import
statements to make the code more clear and prevent `rustfmt` joining
them all together.
Separate public exports using a code block and `#[rustfmt::skip]`. Has
the nice advantage of reducing the number of `#[doc(inline)]` attributes
also.
1. Modules first, as they are part of the project's structure.
2. Private imports
3. Public re-exports (using `rustfmt::skip` to prevent merge)
Use the format
```rust
mod xyz;
mod abc;
use ...;
pub use {
...,
};
```

On our way to v1.0.0 we are defining a standard for our error types,
this includes:
- Uses the following derives (unless not possible, usually because of `io::Error`)
`#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]`
- Has `non_exhaustive` unless we really know we can commit to not adding
anything.
Furthermore, we are trying to make the codebase easy to read. Error code
is write-once-read-many (well it should be) so if we make all the error
code super uniform the users can flick to an error and quickly see what
it includes. In an effort to achieve this I have made up a style and
over recent times have change much of the error code to that new style,
this PR audits _all_ error types in the code base and enforces the
style, specifically:
- Is layed out: definition, [impl block], Display impl, error::Error impl, From impls
- `error::Error` impl matches on enum even if it returns `None` for all variants
- Display/Error impls import enum variants locally
- match uses *self and `ref e`
- error::Error variants that return `Some` come first, `None` after
Re: non_exhaustive
To make dev and review easier I have added `non_exhaustive` to _every_
error type. We can then remove it error by error as we see fit. This is
because it takes a bit of thinking to do and review where as this patch
should not take much brain power to review.
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.
One encodes to a writer and decodes from a reader, most of the time in
the consensus `Encodable`/`Decodable` traits we use generic `R`/`W` and
variable `r`/`w` but there are other places that use other characters.
While touching these lines note also that there are a bunch of unneeded
`mut`s, I'm not sure why since usually between the compiler and the
linter `mut` is handled correctly.
Make implementations of `Encodable` and `Decodable` uniform by:
- Use R/W and r/w for trait and variable name
- Remove unneeded mut
Throughout the codebase we cast values to `u64` when constructing a
`VarInt`. We can make the code marginally cleaner by adding `From<T>`
impls for all unsigned integer types less than or equal to 64 bits.
Also allows us to (possibly unnecessarily) comment the cast in a single
place.
The `ServiceFlags` type is used by the p2p layer. It can live in the
`mod.rs` file of the `p2p` module. Done in preparation for removing the
`p2p::constants` module.
This is a straight code move, the `ServiceFlags` replaces the
current re-export.
The `PROTOCOL_VERSION` const is a p2p layer constant. It can live in the
`mod.rs` file of the `p2p` module.
This is a straight code move, the `PROTOCOL_VERSION` replaces the
current re-export.
The `network` module deals with data types and logic related to
internetworking bitcoind nodes, this is commonly referred to as the p2p
layer.
Rename the `network` module to `p2p` and fix all the paths.
