Storage Capability Std Api #183

Closed Latrasis closed 5 years ago

Latrasis commented 5 years ago

In order to facilitate a procedure development workflow, we need start with an api that makes it easier to work with storage capabilities:

[x] Storage Cap Abstractions, such as:
- [x] Some StorageVec<T> Type
- [x] Some StorageVecIter<K,T> Type
- [x] Some StorageMap<K,T> Type
- [x] Some StorageMapIter<K,T> Type
- [x] Some Storage Trait

Developing such an API is tricky, since this requires thought and experimentation on our part. One way to start is to do dogfooding – I propose we thus:

Implement an ACL Procedure #135, using raw syscalls, including tests.
Refactor #135, to use an abstract StorageMap Type and StorageVec Type
Refactor #135, to use an abstract iterable StorageMapIter Type

There are currently some data/key size limits on the StorageMap that aren't encoded in the type system or robustly protected, so that still needs to be done.

This can be considered complete with #185.
