- 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
llarp/context.cpp, llarp/nodedb.{h,c}pp: load netdb AFTER whitelist
llarp/router/router.cpp: explore always
llarp/router/{i,}rc_lookup_handler.{h,c}pp explore with whitelist, update routers with lookup before stale
This commit refactors functionality from the Router class into separate,
dedicated classes.
There are a few behavior changes that came as a result of discussion on
what the correct behavior should be.
In addition, many things Router was previously doing can now be provided
callback functions to alert the calling point when the asynchronous
action completes, successfully or otherwise.
