For now, it's set up to just use a chutney network, so I don't
cause major drama with the real network.
I'll be working on this in parallel with proto and netdir
improvements, until it works.
Too often I've been writing code that defers timeliness checking to
an is_valid_at() method [which you'd better call or else whoops] and
which does signature checking while parsing [not great for
performance].
Instead, let's make return types where you can't get at the interior
object without first either checking the signatures/timeliness, or
declaring that (dangerously) you don't care.
Unlike caret_enum!, these types are for use with things like cell
commands or certificate types, where the entire space of integer
values is possible, and only some are recognized.
Arti is a rust tor implementation. It's project I've been working
on for a few months now, in weekends and in spare time. It doesn't
speak the tor protocol yet, and it doesn't connect to the network at
all.
It needs much more documentation and testing, but I'm just about
ready to show it to others. See the README.md for a description of
what is there and what isn't.
