Pre-C++17 char_traits::compare isn't constexpr so we can't constexpr the
find/rfind methods that use it.
begin() etc, however, can be constexpr (and need to be for some of the
other constexpr methods here that use them).
Howard Hinnart's date.h is the library that was accepted as C++20
date/calendar support, so this is essentially a backport of C++20 date
time support.
(It does support timezone support, but requires more of the library and
that seems like overkill for what we need; this just prints UTC
timestamps instead, which need only a header-only include).
This was being used to get at gcc/clang's __builtin_expect, but we don't
really need that: we can just avoid the check entirely when not in debug
mode which should be even faster.
fromEnv here wasn't usefully templatized (the base template basically
couldn't be used for anything except a string anyway), so just replaced
it with the overloads we need and moved the implementations out of the
header.
Renames the cmake Catch2 test target to "catch" (instead of "check") and
adds a "rungtest" for gtest (because the "gtest" target is already taken
by the gtest library itself), and then repurposes the "check" target to
run both test suite binaries.
Also updates the top-level Makefile to do the same thing, except that
there the gtest target is just "gtest" instead of "rungtest".
Adds a TrimWhiteSpace instead of using abseil's.
Adds Catch2 tests for it, and also converts the existing str tests to
catch (which look much, much nicer than the gtest ones).
The comparison done here was really weird: by comparing lengths *before*
contents "zz" would sort before "aaa". It wasn't invalid for the
specific purpose being used here (looking for true/false values), but
would be highly broken if someone tried to use it elsewhere.
Also renamed it because it really is just a `<` implementation, not a
full cmp implementation.
These aren't needed: CMake already knows how to follow #includes and
rebuild when headers change as long as the headers are included
*somewhere*. The extra .cpp files here just require building a bunch of
.cpp files with just header content that we just end up throw away
during linking (since the same things will also be compiled in whatever
other compilation units include the same headers).
- util::Mutex is now a std::shared_timed_mutex, which is capable of
exclusive and shared locks.
- util::Lock is still present as a std::lock_guard<util::Mutex>.
- the locking annotations are preserved, but updated to the latest
supported by clang rather than using abseil's older/deprecated ones.
- ACQUIRE_LOCK macro is gone since we don't pass mutexes by pointer into
locks anymore (WTF abseil).
- ReleasableLock is gone. Instead there are now some llarp::util helper
methods to obtain unique and/or shared locks:
- `auto lock = util::unique_lock(mutex);` gets an RAII-but-also
unlockable object (std::unique_lock<T>, with T inferred from
`mutex`).
- `auto lock = util::shared_lock(mutex);` gets an RAII shared (i.e.
"reader") lock of the mutex.
- `auto lock = util::unique_locks(mutex1, mutex2, mutex3);` can be
used to atomically lock multiple mutexes at once (returning a
tuple of the locks).
This are templated on the mutex which makes them a bit more flexible
than using a concrete type: they can be used for any type of lockable
mutex, not only util::Mutex. (Some of the code here uses them for
getting locks around a std::mutex). Until C++17, using the RAII types
is painfully verbose:
```C++
// pre-C++17 - needing to figure out the mutex type here is annoying:
std::unique_lock<util::Mutex> lock(mutex);
// pre-C++17 and even more verbose (but at least the type isn't needed):
std::unique_lock<decltype(mutex)> lock(mutex);
// our compromise:
auto lock = util::unique_lock(mutex);
// C++17:
std::unique_lock lock(mutex);
```
All of these functions will also warn (under gcc or clang) if you
discard the return value. You can also do fancy things like
`auto l = util::unique_lock(mutex, std::adopt_lock)` (which lets a
lock take over an already-locked mutex).
- metrics code is gone, which also removes a big pile of code that was
only used by metrics:
- llarp::util::Scheduler
- llarp:🧵:TimerQueue
- llarp::util::Stopwatch
Step 1 of removing abseil from lokinet.
For the most part this is a drop-in replacement, but there are also a
few changes here to the JSONRPC layer that were needed to work around
current gcc 10 dev snapshot:
- JSONRPC returns a json now instead of an optional<json>. It doesn't
make any sense to have a json rpc call that just closes the connection
with returning anything. Invoked functions can return a null (default
constructed) result now if they don't have anything to return (such a
null value won't be added as "result").
