## Key Features

This is work in progress, but the code is heavily documented. So far, the DHT is
pretty stable with a full implementation of the Kademlia routing table and the
Kademlia protocol, with several of the optimizations recommended in the paper.

## Project Documentation

We have detailed guides for setting up an efficient development environment, the
development process, project structure, etc. Take a look at the available guides
[here](https://abdes.github.io/asap/asap_master/html/).

In addition to that, specific documentation for the command line parser, its
usage and APIs, are provided in the project GitHub Pages site
[here](https://abdes.github.io/blocxxi/blocxxi_master/html/).

## Getting Started

It is strongly recommended that you take some time to browse the project
documentation to familiarize yourself with its structure and development
workflows.

Make sure you have a C++ compiler with C++-17 capabilities at least. Gnu, Clang
and MSVC all can do that with a recent version.

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules -j4 https://github.com/abdes/blocxxi.git
```

```bash
mkdir _build && cd _build && cmake .. && cmake --build .
```

or just use one of the predefined `CMake` presets. Detailed instructions are in
the project documentation, and many useful commands are listed
[here](https://abdes.github.io/asap/asap_master/html/getting-started/useful-commands.html).

## CMake configurable build options

```cmake
# Project options
option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build shared instead of static libraries." ON)
option(ASAP_BUILD_TESTS "Build tests." OFF)
option(ASAP_BUILD_EXAMPLES "Build examples." OFF)
option(ASAP_WITH_GOOGLE_ASAN "Instrument code with address sanitizer" OFF)
option(ASAP_WITH_GOOGLE_UBSAN "Instrument code with undefined behavior sanitizer" OFF)
option(ASAP_WITH_GOOGLE_TSAN "Instrument code with thread sanitizer" OFF)
option(ASAP_WITH_VALGRIND "Builds targets with valgrind profilers added" OFF)
```

## Contributing

If you would like to contribute code you can do so through GitHub by forking the
repository and sending a pull request. When submitting code, please make every
effort to follow existing conventions and style in order to keep the code as
readable as possible.

### Submitting a PR

- For every PR there should be an accompanying issue which the PR solves
- The PR itself should only contain code which is the solution for the given
issue
- If you are a first time contributor check if there is a suitable issue for you

## Getting updates from upstream [`asap`](https://github.com/abdes/asap)

In order to pull and merge updates from the upstream project, make sure to add
it to the repo's remotes and disable pulling/merging tags from the upstream. We
want tags to be limited to those made in this repo, not in the upstream.

```bash
git remote add upstream https://github.com/abdes/asap.git
git config remote.upstream.tagopt --no-tags
```
