rlp::decode returns Result
Make a best effort to handle decoding errors gracefully throughout the code, using `expect` where the value is guaranteed to be valid (and in other places where it makes sense).
* 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
* Update rlp docs to reflect removing of UntrustedRlp
* Replace UntrustedRlp usages in private-tx merge
This is a huge change, which includes some changes to replace code that
originally cloned to reuse allocations instead. The updated
`elastic-array` crate renames its consuming `Vec`-conversion method to
`into_vec`, which means that I can do a simple
`sed -i 's/to_vec/into_vec/'` and then fix the compilation errors.
This commit is probably a minor performance win and definitely a
significant readability win.
* fixed naming of rlp modules
* RlpStream cleanup
* appending short rlp lists (0...55 bytes) is 25% faster
* RlpStream does not use bytes module, nor trait Stream
* removed unused code from rlp module
* compiling ethcore-util with new rlp serialization
* compiling parity with new rlp serialization
* fixed compiling ethcore-light with new rlp serialization
* fixed compiling ethsync with new rlp serialization
* removed redundant comment, print
* removed redundant double-space
* replace usage of WriteBytesExt with ByteOrder
