It'd eat up a core constantly, due to spending its time jumping
back and forth between userland and kernel. We now wait for up
to a millisecond in kernel, which will be transparent to the user
and drop to idle most of the time.
This PR adds readline support to the daemon and monero-wallet-cli. Only
GNU readline is supported (e.g. not libedit) and there are cmake checks
to ensure this.
There is a cmake variable, Readline_ROOT_DIR that can specify a
directory to find readline, otherwise some default paths are searched.
There is also a cmake option, USE_READLINE, that defaults to ON. If set
to ON, if readline is not found, the build continues but without
readline support.
One negative side effect of using readline is that the color prompt in
the wallet-cli now has no color and just uses terminal default. I know
how to fix this but it's quite a big change so will tackle another time.
All code which was using ip and port now uses a new IPv4 object,
subclass of a new network_address class. This will allow easy
addition of I2P addresses later (and also IPv6, etc).
Both old style and new style peer lists are now sent in the P2P
protocol, which is inefficient but allows peers using both
codebases to talk to each other. This will be removed in the
future. No other subclasses than IPv4 exist yet.
- Performance improvements
- Added `span` for zero-copy pointer+length arguments
- Added `std::ostream` overload for direct writing to output buffers
- Removal of unused `string_tools::buff_to_hex`
Because some people just won't even try to read what is written
and freak out because the word FATAL is in here, despite the
context making it clear it's not an error.
