- Replace all cryptonote_config macros with constexpr variables. Some
become integer types, some become chrono types.
- generally this involved removing a "CRYPTONOTE_" prefix since the
values are now in the `cryptonote` namespace
- some constants are grouped into sub-namespaces (e.g.
cryptonote::p2p)
- deprecated constants (i.e. for old HFs) are in the `cryptonote::old`
namespace.
- all the magic hash key domain separating strings are now in
cryptonote::hashkey::WHATEVER.
- Move some economy-related constants to oxen_economy.h instead
- Replaced the BLOCKS_EXPECTED_IN_DAYS constexpr functions with more
straightforward `BLOCKS_PER_DAY` value (i.e. old
`BLOCKS_EXPECTED_IN_DAYS(10)` is now `BLOCKS_PER_DAY * 10`.
- Replaced `network_version` unscoped enum with a scoped enum
`cryptonote::hf`, replacing all the raw uint8_t values where it was
currently accepted with the new `hf` type.
- Made `network_type` a scoped enum so that it now has to be qualified
(network_type::TESTNET) and can't be arbitrarily/unintentionally
converted to/from an int.
- HARDFORK_WHATEVER macros have become cryptonote::feature::WHATEVER
constexpr hf values.
- Add `revision` to rpc hard_fork_info response
- Don't build trezor code at all (previously we were pointlessly
building an empty dummy lib).
openssl is a miserable dependency to fight with, especially for
iOS/Android, and we use it for very little:
- it gets (mis)used to write base64 data to a file in wallet2 for things
like multisig data. However this mode is *not* enabled by default,
basically completely unknown, completely unused, only exists in the
cli wallet, and is just dumb. (Honestly the justification given in
the PR is that "Windows users might want it", presupposing that there
exists Windows users who are capable of generating a multisig wallet
in a CLI-only application and yet are incapable of dealing with binary
files).
- it's a dependency of unbound (in order to do dnssec, I believe).
Unbound itself is fairly useless for Oxen, so I've removed it too:
- it does OpenAlias lookups, which are a Monero thing that has never
been used outside Monero, doesn't work reliably (because it fails
if the result isn't DNSSEC validated) and is pointless when we
have ONS.
- it does DNS resolution on seed nodes, but we have never set seed
nodes by name and just use seed node IPs instead (which seems a
bit better anyway since the DNS lookup leaks some metadata).
- it *was* being used for sha256, but an earlier commit in this PR
already replaced that with libsodium (entirely coincidentally).
- for static deps, it enables HTTPS support for the wallet. However
only the CLI wallet actually supports this (the GUI and mobile wallets
don't), and since oxend hasn't support this for a while I have strong
doubts it is being used anywhere. (Plus wallet3 will do everything
encrypted using zmq/libsodium, so doesn't need this to be secure).
Note here that it is *only* removed by this commit for static builds:
if doing a system build that links to libcurl supporting HTTPS then
HTTPS support will still work.
Libexpat is also gone because it was only there for libunbound.
Converts all use of boost::filesystem to std::filesystem.
For macos and potentially other exotic systems where std::filesystem
isn't available, we use ghc::filesystem instead (which is a drop-in
replacement for std::filesystem, unlike boost::filesystem).
This also greatly changes how we handle filenames internally by holding
them in filesystem::path objects as soon as possible (using
fs::u8path()), rather than strings, which avoids a ton of issues around
unicode filenames. As a result this lets us drop the boost::locale
dependency on Windows along with a bunch of messy Windows ifdef code,
and avoids the need for doing gross boost locale codecvt calls.
In short: epee's http client is garbage, standard violating, and
unreliable.
This completely removes the epee http client support and replaces it
with cpr, a curl-based C++ wrapper. rpc/http_client.h wraps cpr for RPC
requests specifically, but it is also usable directly.
This replacement has a number of advantages:
- requests are considerably more reliable. The epee http client code
assumes that a connection will be kept alive forever, and returns a
failure if a connection is ever closed. This results in some very
annoying things: for example, preparing a transaction and then waiting
a long tim before confirming it will usually result in an error
communication with the daemon. This is just terribly behaviour: the
right thing to do on a connection failure is to resubmit the request.
- epee's http client is broken in lots of other ways: for example, it
tries throwing SSL at the port to see if it is HTTPS, but this is
protocol violating and just breaks (with a several second timeout) on
anything that *isn't* epee http server (for example, when lokid is
behind a proxying server).
- even when it isn't doing the above, the client breaks in other ways:
for example, there is a comment (replaced in this PR) in the Trezor PR
code that forces a connection close after every request because epee's
http client doesn't do proper keep-alive request handling.
- it seems noticeably faster to me in practical use in this PR; both
simple requests (for example, when running `lokid status`) and
wallet<->daemon connections are faster, probably because of crappy
code in epee. (I think this is also related to the throw-ssl-at-it
junk above: the epee client always generates an ssl certificate during
static initialization because it might need one at some point).
- significantly reduces the amount of code we have to maintain.
- removes all the epee ssl option code: curl can handle all of that just
fine.
- removes the epee socks proxy code; curl can handle that just fine.
(And can do more: it also supports using HTTP/HTTPS proxies).
- When a cli wallet connection fails we know show why it failed (which
now is an error message from curl), which could have all sorts of
reasons like hostname resolution failure, bad ssl certificate, etc.
Previously you just got a useless generic error that tells you
nothing.
Other related changes in this PR:
- Drops the check-for-update and download-update code. To the best of
my knowledge these have never been supported in loki-core and so it
didn't seem worth the trouble to convert them to use cpr for the
requests.
- Cleaned up node_rpc_proxy return values: there was an inconsistent mix
of ways to return errors and how the returned strings were handled.
Instead this cleans it up to return a pair<bool, val>, which (with
C++17) can be transparently captured as:
auto [success, val] = node.whatever(req);
This drops the failure message string, but it was almost always set to
something fairly useless (if we want to resurrect it we could easily
change the first element to be a custom type with a bool operator for
success, and a `.error` attribute containing some error string, but
for the most part the current code wasn't doing much useful with the
failure string).
- changed local detection (for automatic trusted daemon determination)
to just look for localhost, and to not try to resolve anything.
Trusting non-public IPs does not work well (e.g. with lokinet where
all .loki addresses resolve to a local IP).
- ssl fingerprint option is removed; this isn't supported by curl
(because it is essentially just duplicating what a custom cainfo
bundle does)
- --daemon-ssl-allow-chained is removed; it wasn't a useful option (if
you don't want chaining, don't specify a cainfo chain).
- --daemon-address is now a URL instead of just host:port. (If you omit
the protocol, http:// is prepended).
- --daemon-host and --daemon-port are now deprecated and produce a
warning (in simplewallet) if used; the replacement is to use
--daemon-address.
- --daemon-ssl is deprecated; specify --daemon-address=https://whatever
instead.
- the above three are now hidden from --help
- reordered the wallet connection options to make more logical sense.
Existing tests: block, transaction, signature, cold outputs,
cold transaction.
Data for these is in tests/data/fuzz.
A convenience shell script is in contrib/fuzz_testing/fuzz.sh, eg:
contrib/fuzz_testing/fuzz.sh signature
The fuzzer will run indefinitely, ^C to stop.
Fuzzing is currently supported for GCC only. I can't get CLANG
to build Monero here as it dies on some system headers, so if
someone wants to make it work on both, that'd be great.
In particular, the __AFL_LOOP construct should be made to work
so that a given run can fuzz multiple inputs, as the C++ load
time is substantial.
