The `unreachable_pub` lint makes us aware of uses of `pub` that are not actually reachable from the crate root. This is considered good because it means reading a `pub` somewhere means it is actually public API. Some of our crates are quite large and keeping their entire API surface in your head is difficult.
We should strive for most items being `pub(crate)`. This lint helps us enforce that.
Pull-Request: #3735.
Prefixing a variable with an underscore (`_`) in Rust indicates that it is not used. Through refactorings, it can sometimes happen that we do end up using such a variable. In this case, the underscore should be removed.
Clippy can help us with this.
Pull-Request: #3484.
Previously, a `ConnectionHandler` was immediately requested from the `NetworkBehaviour` as soon as a new dial was initiated or a new incoming connection accepted.
With this patch, we delay the creation of the handler until the connection is actually established and fully upgraded, i.e authenticated and multiplexed.
As a consequence, `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` is now deprecated in favor of a new set of callbacks:
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_outbound_connection`
All callbacks are fallible, allowing the `NetworkBehaviour` to abort the connection either immediately or after it is fully established. All callbacks also receive a `ConnectionId` parameter which uniquely identifies the connection. For example, in case a `NetworkBehaviour` issues a dial via `NetworkBehaviourAction::Dial`, it can unambiguously detect this dial in these lifecycle callbacks via the `ConnectionId`.
Finally, `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection` also replaces `NetworkBehaviour::addresses_of_peer` by allowing the behaviour to return more addresses to be used for the dial.
Resolves#2824.
Pull-Request: #3254.
We create the `ConnectionId` for the new connection as part of `DialOpts`. This allows `NetworkBehaviour`s to accurately track state regarding their own dial attempts.
This patch is the main enabler of https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3254. Removing the `handler` field will allow us to deprecate the `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` function in favor of four new ones that give more control over the connection lifecycle.
This PR isolates the bugfix for the `NetworkBehaviour` derive implementation for structures with generic fields. When `out_event` was not provided, the generated enum was missing the `NetworkBehaviour` impl constraint for the generic variants whilst using the generics for `<Generic>::OutEvent`.
Meanwhile I also found that the generated `poll` function `loop`s the sub behaviours and either `return`'s when `Poll::Ready` or `break`'s when `Poll::Pending`. This is a relict from when we still had `NetworkBehaviourEventProcess` which had added a branch within this loop that did not `return` but consume the event and `continue`. This trait was removed a while ago meaning this `loop` is no longer needed.
Previously, we used the full reference to the `OutEvent` of the `ConnectionHandler` in all implementations of `NetworkBehaviour`. Not only is this very verbose, it is also more brittle to changes. With the current implementation plan for #2824, we will be removing the `IntoConnectionHandler` abstraction. Using a type-alias to refer to the `OutEvent` makes the migration much easier.
Currently, our `NetworkBehaviour` derive macro depends on the `libp2p` crate to be in scope. This prevents standalone usage which forces us to depend on `libp2p` in all our tests where we want to derive a `NetworkBehaviour`.
This PR introduces a `prelude` option that - by default - points to `libp2p::swarm::derive_prelude`, a new module added to `libp2p_swarm`. With this config option, users of `libp2p_swarm` can now refer to the macro without depending on `libp2p`, breaking the circular dependency in our workspace. For consistency with the ecosystem, the macro is now also re-exported by `libp2p_swarm` instead of `libp2p` at the same position as the trait that it implements.
Lastly, we introduce an off-by-default `macros` feature flag that shrinks the dependency tree for users that don't need the derive macro.
