As it happens, the two share the exact same interface (even the test
suite removed in this PR passes) - `minilru` has an edge on efficiency
however, avoiding the doubly linked list node allocations etc
Since these types were written, we've gained an executable spec:
https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs
This PR aligns some of the types we use with this spec to simplify
comparisons and cross-referencing.
Using a `distinct` type is a tradeoff between nim ergonomics, type
safety and the ability to work around nim quirks and stdlib weaknesses.
In particular, it allows us to overload common functions such as `hash`
with correct and performant versions as well as maintain control over
string conversions etc at the cost of a little bit of ceremony when
instantiating them.
Apart from distinct byte types, `Hash32`, is introduced in lieu of the
existing `Hash256`, again aligning this commonly used type with the spec
which picks bytes rather than bits in the name.
* Using unsigned types for message type and requst IDs
why:
Negative values are neither defined for RLP nor in the protocol specs
which refer to the RLPs (see yellow paper app B clause (199).
* Fix `int` argument (must be `uint`) in fuzzing tests
why:
Not part of all tests so it slipped through.
* Restricting exception catcher
why:
`CatchableError` is not needed here
* Check data length before converting to `openArray[]`
why:
Getting the first entry of an `openArray[]` crashes with `IndexDefect`.
This is particularly annoying when decoding messages in rlpx.
* Added unit test using rlpx message that causes this problem to detect
- Rework to have exception raise only at rlp decoding and use
result types from then onwards
- Adjust the current API to have result versions and deprecated
the ones which had var Record + bool
- Add PublickKey to the Record object, as this allows us to skip
fromRaw calls whenever access is needed to the public key
- Add a TypedRecord.fromRecord which cannot fail and deprecate
the old one
- Some other minor clean-up & re-ordering
- Rework adding and updating of fields by having an insert call
that gets used everywhere. Avoiding also duplicate keys. One
side-effect of this is that ENR sequence number will always get
updated on an update call, even if nothing changes.
- Deprecate initRecord as it is only used in tests and is flawed
- Assert when predefined keys go into the extra custom pairs.
Any of the predefined keys are only to be passed now via specific
parameters to make sure that the correct types are stored in ENR.
- Clearify the Opt.none behaviour for Record.update
- When setting ipv6, allow for tcp/udp port fields to be used
default
- General clean-up
- Rework/clean-up completely the ENR tests.
Fixes a missing CancelledError async raising on discv5 waitMessage
which would cause "Error set on a non-raising future".
Also moves some more results import away from stew.
* Fix chronos related deprecated warnings in discv5
* Fix chronos related deprecated warnings in uTP code
* Improve discv5 closeWait order of events and add noCancel
* Refactor p2pProtocol internals
* Attempt to fix rlp crash with Nim v2 (#658)
* Attempt to fix rlp crash with Nim v2
* Fix test_ecies for nim v2
* Reduce compiler warnings
* Resolve ambiquity in testutils
* Disable nim devel continue-on-error
This allows for protocols build on top of discv5 to use the ENR
provided in the handshake directly, instead of having to rely
on requesting it from the discv5 routing table.
