# Hacking on I2PD |
||||
|
||||
This document contains notes compiled from hacking on i2pd |
||||
|
||||
## prerequisites |
||||
|
||||
This guide assumes: |
||||
|
||||
* a decent understanding of c++ |
||||
* basic understanding of how i2p works at i2np level and up |
||||
|
||||
## general structure |
||||
|
||||
Notes on multithreading |
||||
|
||||
* every compontent runs in its own thread |
||||
|
||||
* each component (usually) has a public function `GetService()` which can be used to obtain the `boost::asio::io_service` that it uses. |
||||
|
||||
* when talking between components/threads, **always** use `GetService().post()` and be mindfull of stack allocated memory. |

### NetDb |
||||
|
||||
#### NetDb.h |
||||
|
||||
The `i2p::data::netdb` is a `i2p::data::NetDb` instance processes and dispatches *inbound* i2np messages passed in from transports. |
||||
|
||||
global singleton at `i2p::data::netdb` as of 2.10.1 |
||||
|
||||
#### NetDbRequests.h |
||||
|
||||
For Pending RouterInfo/LeaseSet lookup and store requests |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### ClientContext |
||||
|
||||
#### ClientContext.h |
||||
|
||||
`i2p::client::ClientContext` spawns all destinations used by the i2p router including the shared local destination. |
||||
|
||||
global singleton at `i2p::client::context` as of 2.10.1 |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Daemon |
||||
|
||||
File: Daemon.cpp |
||||
|
||||
`i2p::util::Daemon_Singleton_Private` subclasses implement the daemon start-up and tear-down, creates Http Webui and i2p control server. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Destinations |
||||
|
||||
#### Destination.h |
||||
|
||||
each destination runs in its own thread |
||||
|
||||
##### i2p::client::LeaseSetDestination |
||||
|
||||
Base for `i2p::client::ClientDestination` |
||||
|
||||
##### i2p::client::ClientDestination |
||||
|
||||
Destination capable of creating (tcp/i2p) streams and datagram sessions. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Streaming.h |
||||
|
||||
##### i2p::stream::StreamingDestination |
||||
|
||||
Does not implement any destination related members, the name is a bit misleading. |
||||
|
||||
Owns a `i2p::client::ClientDestination` and runs in the destination thread. |
||||
|
||||
Anyone creating or using streams outside of the destination thread **MUST** be aware of the consequences of multithreaded c++ :^) |
||||
|
||||
If you use streaming please consider running all code within the destination thread using `ClientDestination::GetService().post()` |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Garlic.h |
||||
|
||||
Provides Inter-Destination routing primatives. |
||||
|
||||
##### i2p::garlic::GarlicDestination |
||||
|
||||
sublcass of `i2p::client::LeaseSetDestination` for sending messages down shared routing paths. |
||||
|
||||
##### i2p::garlic::GarlicRoutingSession |
||||
|
||||
a point to point conversation between us and 1 other destination. |
||||
|
||||
##### i2p::garlic::GarlicRoutingPath |
||||
|
||||
A routing path currently used by a routing session. specifies which outbound tunnel to use and which remote lease set to use for `OBEP` to `IBGW` inter tunnel communication. |
||||
|
||||
members: |
||||
|
||||
* outboundTunnel (OBEP) |
||||
* remoteLease (IBGW) |
||||
* rtt (round trip time) |
||||
* updatedTime (last time this path's IBGW/OBEP was updated) |
||||
* numTimesUsesd (number of times this path was used) |
||||
|
||||
### Transports |
||||
|
||||
each transport runs in its own thread |
||||
|
||||
#### Transports.h |
||||
|
||||
`i2p::transport::Transports` contains NTCP and SSU transport instances |
