- Refactor (and rename crate) and implement RwLock len cache.
- improve docs
- update ethcore verification queue to new version
- Implement Default, From, also derive Debug
- update: parking_lot to 0.7
New util LenCachingMutex can be used in place of a Mutex, when working
with collections, or other types with a len() method. When
the Guard is dropped, the value returned from len() is stored
into an AtomicUsize and can be queried using load_len() without
needing to lock the Mutex. Implementations for ```Vec``` and
```VecDeque```.
Now used in [Verification](4ded4181a6/ethcore/src/verification/queue/mod.rs (L196)) so that calls to ```VerificationQueue.queue_info()```
no longer require locks.
* VerificationQueue don't spawn up extra threads
In the verification queue we spawn up worker threads to do the work.
However, if `num-verifiers` is specified we still spawn the maximum
number of threads which consume extra memory.
There is one catch though when `--scale-verifiers` is specified then
we can't do it because all threads are created upon initilization AFAIK.
In my opinion, is doesn't to use both `num-verifiers` and
`scale-verifiers` they are kind of contradictory!
* Fix nits in logic and add tests for verification
* refactor(verification queue) - rm hardcoded const
* Address grumbles in new tests
* Remove hardcoded `MAX_VERIFIERS` constant and replace it by relying
entirely on `num_cpu` crate instead inorder to support CPUs that have
more cores/logical cores
* ethcore: don't validate difficulty when ignoring seal check
* ethcore: fix block verification test
* ethcore: document skipped verifications when check_seal is disabled
* Update `add_license` script
* run script
* add `remove duplicate lines script` and run it
* Revert changes `English spaces`
* strip whitespaces
* Revert `GPL` in files with `apache/mit license`
* don't append `gpl license` in files with other lic
* Don't append `gpl header` in files with other lic.
* re-ran script
* include c and cpp files too
* remove duplicate header
* rebase nit
* Don't panic in import_block if invalid rlp
* Remove redundant type annotation
* Replace RLP header view usage with safe decoding
Using the view will panic with invalid RLP. Here we use Rlp decoding directly which will return a `Result<_, DecoderError>`. While this path currently should not have any invalid RLP - it makes it safer if ever called with invalid RLP from other code paths.
* WIP
* Convert Ethcore error to use error_chain
* Use error_chain for ImportError and BlockImportError
* Fix error pattern matches for error_chain in miner
* Implement explicit From for AccountsError
* Fix pattern matches for ErrorKinds
* Handle ethcore error_chain in light client
* Explicitly define Result type to avoid shadowing
* Fix remaining Error pattern matches
* Fix tab space formatting
* Helps if the tests compile
* Fix error chain matching after merge
* WIP
* Replace Rlp with UntrustedRlp in views, explicity unwrap with expect
First pass to get it to compile. Need to figure out whether to do this or to propogate Errors upstream, which would require many more changes to dependent code. If we do this way we are assuming that the views are always used in a context where the rlp is trusted to be valid e.g. when reading from our own DB. So need to fid out whether views are used with data received from an untrusted (e.g. extrernal peer).
* Remove original Rlp impl, rename UntrustedRlp -> Rlp
* Create rlp views with view! macro to record debug info
Views are assumed to be over valid rlp, so if there is a decoding error we record where the view was created in the first place and report it in the expect
* Use $crate in view! macro to avoid import, fix tests
* Expect valid rlp in decode functions for now
* Replace spaces with tabs in new file
* Add doc tests for creating views with macro
