In order to avoid significant malloc traffic, messages previously
explicitly stated their serialized length allowing for Vec
preallocation during the message serialization pipeline. This added
some amount of complexity in the serialization code, but did avoid
some realloc() calls.
Instead, here, we drop all the complexity in favor of a fixed 2KiB
buffer for all message serialization. This should not only be
simpler with a similar reduction in realloc() traffic, but also
may reduce heap fragmentation by allocating identically-sized
buffers more often.
This changes the LICENSE file and adds license headers to most files
to relicense under dual Apache-2.0 and MIT. This is helpful in that
we retain the patent grant issued under Apache-2.0-licensed work,
avoiding some sticky patent issues, while still allowing users who
are more comfortable with the simpler MIT license to use that.
See https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-lightning/issues/659 for
relicensing statements from code authors.
This makes Readable symmetric with Writeable and makes sense -
something which is Readable should be Readable for any stream which
implements std::io::Read, not only for a stream type it decides on.
This solves some lifetime-compatibility issues in trying to read()
from a LengthLimitingReader in arbitrary Readable impls.
Previously, in each of our fuzz tests we had a dummy test which
had a hard-coded hex string which it passed into the fuzz target
so that when a failing test case was found, its hex could be
copied into the test and you could run cargo test to analyze the
failure. However, this was somewhat unwieldy as converting large
tests back and forth between hex and raw files is quite annoying.
Instead, we replace each of those tests with a test in each target
that looks for files in fuzz/test_cases and runs each file it finds.
Since we're editing every bin target anyway, we also automate adding
no_main to libfuzzer builds with #![cfg_attr].
This merges local and global features into one struct, which is
parameterized by where it appers. The parameterization restricts
which queries can be made and which features can be set, in line
with the latest BOLT 9.
Closes#427.
