Nim devel brach(1.7.1) introduce gc=orc as default mode.
Because the p2p protocol using unsafe pointer operations
for it's ProtocolInfo and using global variables scattered
around, the orc mistakenly(or maybe correctly) crash the protocol.
* Provide dedicated `DisconnectionReason` enum type RLP reader
why:
Without this reader, the program communicating via RLPX will crash when
receiving out of bound reason codes disconnect message.
Out of bound value assignments to an enum causes a `RangeError`defect
and consequently the program to terminate. This `RangeError` is avoided
here and a `MalformedRlpError` catchable error raised.
* Using default exception type in bespoke `read(DisconnectionReason)`
why:
This should not differ from the default enum parser. The particular
message is different and more targeted, here.
Note: The default RLP parser was not used because `
`array[1,DisconnectionReason]` is currently not properly handled and
should give a siliar error message as a `DisconnectionReason` error.
* De-clutter, custom read() was not needed

* Handle the decodeAuthMessage error case separatly and log to trace
Garbage data on the TCP port (e.g. from port scanners) would
cause lots of error log messages, so log this to trace and get rid
of a (little) bit of exception usage in the process.
* Remove usage of result var in rlpxAccept and rlpxConnect
* Discv4: Add ENRRequest & ENRResponse msgs to avoid fails on these
Fix#499
These messages are not implemented yet however, but just ignored.
why:
Rlp errors throw exceptions which cause the dispatcher loop to
terminate the current session immediately.
details:
The DisconnectionReasonList message requires a single entry list.
Observed and now accepted deviations are:
Geth: single byte number
bor(a Geth fork): blobbed single entry list containing a number
- add eventLoop to control all incoming events
- change semantic of write to asynchronously block only when send buffer is full, and not when bytes do not fit into send window
- change handling of receive buffer, to start dropping packets if the reorder buffer and receive buffer are full. Old behaviour was to async block unless there is space which could lead to resource exhaustion attacks
