The feature we want is `#[doc = include_str!("README.md")]`, which is
stable since 1.54 and our MSRV is now 1.56.
This commit is precisely the result of the following Perl rune:
perl -i~ -0777 -pe 's{(^//!(?!.*\@\@).*\n)+}{#![doc = include_str!("../README.md")]\n}m' crates/*/src/lib.rs
The warning `clippy::bool_to_int_with_if` is meant to shout at you
when you say `if x { 1 } else { 0 }` and instead suggest that you
say `inttype::from(x)`.
I agreed with this for the case in tor-cert, where we are literally
converting a boolean into a flag.
I don't agree with this in tor-netdoc, where we are using a boolean
to decide how many fields to skip in a given document format. So
for this case, I decided to clean up the code a little by renaming
"skip" to "n_skip", and changing the boolean to use an enum instead.
Because we want to work more on ensuring that our semver stability
story is solid, we are _not_ bumping arti-client to 1.0.0 right now.
Here are the bumps we _are_ doing. Crates with "minor" bumps have
had API breaks; crates with "patch" bumps have had new APIs added.
Note that `tor-congestion` is not bumped here: it's a new crate, and
hasn't been published before.
```
tor-basic-utils minor
fs-mistrust minor
tor-config minor
tor-rtcompat minor
tor-rtmock minor
tor-llcrypto patch
tor-bytes patch
tor-linkspec minor
tor-cell minor
tor-proto minor
tor-netdoc patch
tor-netdir minor
tor-persist patch
tor-chanmgr minor
tor-guardmgr minor
tor-circmgr minor
tor-dirmgr minor
arti-client minor
arti-hyper minor
arti major
arti-bench minor
arti-testing minor
```
Since our last round of releases, these crates have had either
trivial changes, or changes that did not affect their APIs.
Therefore we are bumping their versions, but not changing which
versions of them other crates depend on.
Do _not_ bump the dependency versions on crates that have had no
changes since arti 0.0.5, since those crates do not depend on the
new APIs.
```
cargo set-version -p tor-basic-utils --bump patch
cargo set-version -p tor-llcrypto --bump patch
git restore crates/tor-checkable
git restore crates/tor-consdiff
git restore crates/tor-rtmock
```
This comprises four renames:
```
write_onto -> write_onto_infallible
write_into -> write_into_infallible
write -> write_infallible
writer_and_consume -> write_and_consume_infallible.
```
The rest of this branch will be concerned with replacing these
`_infallible` methods with ones that return a `Result`. This is
part of #513.
This is behind a feature flag, since it isn't needed for pure
clients: only onion services and relays need this.
I've named the object that constructs these certs
`Ed25519CertConstructor` because it doesn't follow the builder
pattern exactly: mainly because you can't get an Ed25519Cert out of
it. _That_ part is necessary because we require that an Ed25519Cert
should only exist if the certificate was found to be well-signed
with the right public key.
Closes#511.
Some of these were for decoding particular objects (we now say
what kind of objects), and some were unrelated tor_cert errors that
for some reason we had shoved into a tor_bytes::Error.
There is now a separate tor_cert::CertError type, independent from
tor_cert's use of `tor_bytes::Error` for parsing errors.
This is an automated change made with a perl one-liner and verified
with grep -L and grep -l.
Some warnings are introduced with this change; they will be removed
in subsequent commits.
See arti#208 for older discussion on this issue.
Not all of these strictly need to be bumped to 0.2.0; many could go
to 0.1.1 instead. But since everything at the tor-rtcompat and
higher layers has had breaking API changes, it seems not so useful
to distinguish. (It seems unlikely that anybody at this stage is
depending on e.g. tor-protover but not arti-client.)
This lint is IMO inherently ill-conceived.
I have looked for the reasons why this might be thought to be a good
idea and there were basically two (and they are sort of contradictory):
I. "Calling ‘.clone()` on an Rc, Arc, or Weak can obscure the fact
that only the pointer is being cloned, not the underlying data."
This is the wording from
https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/v0.0.212/#clone_on_ref_ptr
It is a bit terse; we are left to infer why it is a bad idea to
obscure this fact. It seems to me that if it is bad to obscure some
fact, that must be because the fact is a hazard. But why would it be
a hazard to not copy the underlying data ?
In other languages, faliing to copy the underlying data is a serious
correctness hazard. There is a whose class of bugs where things were
not copied, and then mutated and/or reused in multiple places in ways
that were not what the programmer intended. In my experience, this is
a very common bug when writing Python and Javascript. I'm told it's
common in golang too.
But in Rust this bug is much much harder to write. The data inside an
Arc is immutable. To have this bug you'd have use interior mutability
- ie mess around with Mutex or RefCell. That provides a good barrier
to these kind of accidents.
II. "The reason for writing Rc::clone and Arc::clone [is] to make it
clear that only the pointer is being cloned, as opposed to the
underlying data. The former is always fast, while the latter can
be very expensive depending on what is being cloned."
This is the reasoning found here
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/2048
This is saying that *not* using Arc::clone is hazardous.
Specifically, that a deep clone is a performance hazard.
But for this argument, the lint is precisely backwards. It's linting
the "good" case and asking for it to be written in a more explicit
way; while the supposedly bad case can be written conveniently.
Also, many objects (in our codebase, and in all the libraries we use)
that are Clone are in fact simply handles. They contain Arc(s) (or
similar) and are cheap to clone. Indeed, that is the usual case.
It does not make sense to distinguish in the syntax we use to clone
such a handle, whether the handle is a transparent Arc, or an opaque
struct containing one or more other handles.
Forcing Arc::clone to be written as such makes for code churn when a
type is changed from Arc<Something> to Something: Clone, or vice
versa.
I found these versions empirically, by using the following process:
First, I used `cargo tree --depth 1 --kind all` to get a list of
every immediate dependency we had.
Then, I used `cargo upgrade --workspace package@version` to change
each dependency to the earliest version with which (in theory) the
current version is semver-compatible. IOW, if the current version
was 3.2.3, I picked "3". If the current version was 0.12.8, I
picked "0.12".
Then, I used `cargo +nightly upgrade -Z minimal-versions` to
downgrade Cargo.lock to the minimal listed version for each
dependency. (I had to override a few packages; see .gitlab-ci.yml
for details).
Finally, I repeatedly increased the version of each of our
dependencies until our code compiled and the tests passed. Here's
what I found that we need:
anyhow >= 1.0.5: Earlier versions break our hyper example.
async-broadcast >= 0.3.2: Earlier versions fail our tests.
async-compression 0.3.5: Earlier versions handled futures and tokio
differently.
async-trait >= 0.1.2: Earlier versions are too buggy to compile our
code.
clap 2.33.0: For Arg::default_value_os().
coarsetime >= 0.1.20: exposed as_ticks() function.
curve25519-dalek >= 3.2: For is_identity().
generic-array 0.14.3: Earlier versions don't implement
From<&[T; 32]>
httparse >= 1.2: Earlier versions didn't implement Error.
itertools at 0.10.1: For at_most_once.
rusqlite >= 0.26.3: for backward compatibility with older rustc.
serde 1.0.103: Older versions break our code.
serde_json >= 1.0.50: Since we need its Value type to implement Eq.
shellexpand >= 2.1: To avoid a broken dirs crate version.
tokio >= 1.4: For Handle::block_on().
tracing >= 0.1.18: Previously, tracing_core and tracing had separate
LevelFilter types.
typenum >= 1.12: Compatibility with rust-crypto crates
x25519-dalek >= 1.2.0: For was_contributory().
Closes#275.
We want to only use TODO in the codebase for non-blockers, and open
tickets for anything that is a bigger blocker than a TODO. These
XXXXs seem like definite non-blockers to me.
