Decoding into a std::byte output iterator was not working because the
`*out++ = val` assignment doesn't work when the output is std::byte and
val is a char/unsigned char/uint8_t. Instead we need to explicitly
cast, but figuring out what we have to cast to is a little bit tricky.
This PR makes it work (and bumps the version for this and the is_hex
fix).
`is_hex()` is a bit misleading as `from_hex()` requires an even-length
hex string, but `is_hex()` also allows odd-length hex strings, which
means currently callers should be doing `if (lokimq::is_hex(str) &&
str.size() % 2 == 0)`, but probably aren't.
Since the main point of `lokimq/hex.h` is for byte<->hex conversions it
doesn't make much sense to allow `is_hex()` to return true for something
that can't be validly decoded via `from_hex()`, thus this PR changes it
to return false.
If someone *really* wants to test for an odd-length hex string (though
I'm skeptical that there is a need for this), this also exposes
`is_hex_digit` so that they could use:
bool all_hex = std::all_of(str.begin(), str.end(), lokimq::is_hex_digit<char>)
Previously you could only generate a string from a string_view, or could
manage the string yourself and pass input iterators plus an output
iterator.
This commit adds an intermediate version that creates a string from a
pair of input iterators.
Removes lokimq::string_view (the type alias is still provided for
backwards compat, but now is always std::string_view).
Bump version (on dev branch) to 1.2.0
This library is adapted from lokid's existing quorumnet code (added in
6.x) used for SN-to-SN communication for quorum voting but generalized
to be usable both there and as a basis for other communication channels
with loki projects (for example: wallet-to-lokid communication; loki-ss
and lokinet internal communication with lokid; loki-ss to loki-ss
communication and message passing; perhaps eventually loki p2p traffic).
This initial release compiles but likely has a few warts and bugs that
need ironing out in the implementation before it is production ready.
Some tests will follow.
