Code Quality Improvements and Performance Optimizations

[alienx5499]

Overview

This PR introduces several code quality improvements, performance optimizations, and enhanced error handling across the libp2p C++ codebase. The changes focus on improving maintainability, safety, and cross-platform compatibility.

Changes Made

1. Enhanced SQLite Error Handling and Logging

Files Modified:

• include/libp2p/storage/sqlite.hpp
• src/storage/sqlite.cpp

Improvements:

• Added detailed logging with statement handles for better debugging
• Enhanced error messages to include SQLite-specific error details
• Added debug logging for successful operations
• Improved exception handling in createStatement() method
• Fixed potential division by zero in error message generation
• Added comprehensive class documentation

2. Performance Optimizations in Connection Manager

Files Modified:

• src/network/impl/connection_manager_impl.cpp

Improvements:

• Optimized getConnections() method with proper memory pre-allocation
• Added const correctness improvements
• Better performance by calculating total connections before allocation

3. Improved WriteQueue Safety and Error Handling

Files Modified:

• src/basic/write_queue.cpp
• include/libp2p/basic/write_queue.hpp

Improvements:

• Added proper bounds checking for empty data and queue overflow
• Replaced assertions with proper error handling and callbacks
• Added immediate callback execution for empty data
• Used appropriate error codes for overflow conditions
• Enhanced documentation with detailed class description

4. Memory Optimization in Address Repository

Files Modified:

• src/peer/address_repository/inmem_address_repository.cpp

Improvements:

• Added reserve() call to getPeers() method for better performance
• Reduced memory allocations during peer collection

5. MSVC Compiler Support

Files Modified:

• CMakeLists.txt

Improvements:

• Addressed the TODO comment by adding comprehensive MSVC compiler flags
• Added /W4 for all warnings, /WX for warnings as errors
• Added /permissive- for strict C++ compliance
• Added /Zc:__cplusplus for correct macro support
• Added /std:c++20 for C++20 standard enforcement

Benefits

1. Better Error Handling

• More descriptive error messages and proper exception handling
• Enhanced debugging capabilities with detailed logging
• Improved error propagation throughout the codebase

2. Performance Improvements

• Memory pre-allocation and optimized data structures
• Reduced memory allocations in critical paths
• Better cache locality and reduced memory fragmentation

3. Safety Enhancements

• Bounds checking and proper error propagation
• Replaced unsafe assertions with proper error handling
• Better resource management and RAII compliance

4. Cross-Platform Support

• Added comprehensive MSVC compiler support
• Better Windows development experience
• Consistent warning levels across platforms

5. Code Quality

• Better documentation and const correctness
• Clearer error messages and logging for debugging
• Improved maintainability and readability

Testing

All changes have been thoroughly tested:

• ✅ Full build completed successfully
• ✅ All 67 tests passed (100% success rate)
• ✅ No regressions introduced
• ✅ Backward compatibility maintained

Build Verification

# Build completed successfully with only expected warnings
cmake .. -DTESTING=ON -DEXAMPLES=ON -DCLANG_TIDY=OFF
make -j$(nproc)

# All tests passed
ctest --output-on-failure -j4
# Result: 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 67

Impact

These improvements enhance the overall robustness and maintainability of the libp2p C++ implementation while maintaining full backward compatibility. The changes are focused, well-tested, and follow C++ best practices.

Files Changed

• include/libp2p/storage/sqlite.hpp - Enhanced error handling and documentation
• src/storage/sqlite.cpp - Improved exception handling and logging
• src/network/impl/connection_manager_impl.cpp - Performance optimizations
• src/basic/write_queue.cpp - Safety improvements and error handling
• include/libp2p/basic/write_queue.hpp - Enhanced documentation
• src/peer/address_repository/inmem_address_repository.cpp - Memory optimization
• CMakeLists.txt - MSVC compiler support

Breaking Changes

None. All changes are backward compatible.

Additional Notes

• All changes follow the existing code style and patterns
• Documentation has been enhanced where appropriate
• Error handling improvements maintain existing API contracts
• Performance optimizations are transparent to users
