This commit adds two inline template functions to get the length of an
array and a pointer to the end of the array. These functions replace
similar macros that were used with OT core modules. The template
functions are safer to use since they would perform type checking at
compile time. The functions validate that the input variable is
indeed an array and unlike the macros they will not work with a
pointer variable.
This commit updates `VerifyOrQuit()` and `SuccessOrQuit()` macros to
include the failed condition in the error message that is printed on
a failure (in addition to function name and line number where the
error happened). This commit also changes the second parameter
(`aMessage`) to in these macros to be optional.
This commit also updates unit tests to remove the second `aMessage`
string in cases where the failure can be inferred from the condition
itself.
This commit adds a new core header files `common/error.hpp` which
defines `ot::Error` (mirroring `otError`) and `kError{Name}` constants
(mirroring the public `OT_ERROR_{NAME}` definitions). The new (C++
style) definitions are used by core modules. This commit also moves
`otThreadErrorToString()` (from `logging.hpp` to `error.hpp`) and
renames it to `ErrorToString()` which is used as the internal (to
core) function to covert an `Error` to a string.
This commit adds new a type `Neighbor::AddressMactehr` which is used
to filter and find a neighbor (child/router) with a given MAC address
matching a given `Neighbor::StateFilter`. This new type helps simplify
related code in `ChildTable`/`RouterTbale`.
This commit updates `ChildTable` class. It mainly adds support for
using range-based `for` loops to iterate over all child entries
(matching a given state filter). It also simplifies the `Iterator`
implementation (removing the now unused behavior to start the
iteration from a specific child in the table). The unit test
`test_child_table` is also updated to add tests for the newly added
behavior.
This commit introduces a new class `ChildTable` as part of OpenThread
core. This class provides methods for iterating through the child
table and searching for a specific child (based on short/extended
address and/or child state). This commit also adds a unit test for the
newly added `ChildTable class.
