This was a leftover from the times in which
peers.dat depended in BDB.
Other functions in db.cpp still depend on BerkelyDB,
to be able to compile without BDB this (small)
functionality needs to be moved to another file.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
This removes a few unused CBlockLocator methods, and moves the
construction and fork-finding logic to CChain (which can do these
more efficiently, as it has a height-indexable chain available).
It also makes CBlockLocator independent from the validation code.
The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds
most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks.
The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the
bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate
implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence.
The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine
a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing
apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for
a block on the testnet.
- can be triggerd by just adding -proxy=crashme with 0.7.1
- crash occured, when AppInit2() was left with return false; after the
first call to bitdb.open() (Step 6 in init)
- this is caused by GetDataDir() or .string() in CDBEnv::EnvShutdown()
called via the bitdb global destructor
- init fDbEnvInit and fMockDb to false in CDBEnv::CDBEnv()
- remove pathEnv from CDBEnv, as this attribute is not needed
- change path parameter in ::Open() to a reference
- make nDbCache variable an unsigned integer
- remove a missplaced ";" behin ::IsMock()
Split off CBlockTreeDB and CCoinsViewDB into txdb-*.{cpp,h} files,
implemented by either LevelDB or BDB.
Based on code from earlier commits by Mike Hearn in his leveldb
branch.
During the initial block download (or -loadblock), delay connection
of new blocks a bit, and perform them in a single action. This reduces
the load on the database engine, as subsequent blocks often update an
earlier block's transaction already.
This switches bitcoin's transaction/block verification logic to use a
"coin database", which contains all unredeemed transaction output scripts,
amounts and heights.
The name ultraprune comes from the fact that instead of a full transaction
index, we only (need to) keep an index with unspent outputs. For now, the
blocks themselves are kept as usual, although they are only necessary for
serving, rescanning and reorganizing.
The basic datastructures are CCoins (representing the coins of a single
transaction), and CCoinsView (representing a state of the coins database).
There are several implementations for CCoinsView. A dummy, one backed by
the coins database (coins.dat), one backed by the memory pool, and one
that adds a cache on top of it. FetchInputs, ConnectInputs, ConnectBlock,
DisconnectBlock, ... now operate on a generic CCoinsView.
The block switching logic now builds a single cached CCoinsView with
changes to be committed to the database before any changes are made.
This means no uncommitted changes are ever read from the database, and
should ease the transition to another database layer which does not
support transactions (but does support atomic writes), like LevelDB.
For the getrawtransaction() RPC call, access to a txid-to-disk index
would be preferable. As this index is not necessary or even useful
for any other part of the implementation, it is not provided. Instead,
getrawtransaction() uses the coin database to find the block height,
and then scans that block to find the requested transaction. This is
slow, but should suffice for debug purposes.
Change the block storage layer again, this time with multiple files
per block, but tracked by txindex.dat database entries. The file
format is exactly the same as the earlier blk00001.dat, but with
smaller files (128 MiB for now).
The database entries track how many bytes each block file already
uses, how many blocks are in it, which range of heights is present
and which range of dates.
Corrupt wallets used to cause a DB_RUNRECOVERY uncaught exception and a
crash. This commit does three things:
1) Runs a BDB verify early in the startup process, and if there is a
low-level problem with the database:
+ Moves the bad wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ Runs a 'salvage' operation to get key/value pairs, and
writes them to a new wallet.dat
+ Continues with startup.
2) Much more tolerant of serialization errors. All errors in deserialization
are reported by tolerated EXCEPT for errors related to reading keypairs
or master key records-- those are reported and then shut down, so the user
can get help (or recover from a backup).
3) Adds a new -salvagewallet option, which:
+ Moves the wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ extracts ONLY keypairs and master keys into a new wallet.dat
+ soft-sets -rescan, to recreate transaction history
This was tested by randomly corrupting testnet wallets using a little
python script I wrote (https://gist.github.com/3812689)
Any problems seen during deserialization will throw an uncaught
exception, crashing the entire bitcoin process. Properly return an
error instead, so that we may at least log the error and gracefully
shutdown other portions of the app.
Cleans up and organizes several scattered functions and variables related to
the BDB env. Class CDBInit() existed to provide a
guaranteed-via-C++-destructor cleanup of the db environment.
A formal CDBEnv class provides all of this inside a single wrapper.
* This is safer than DB_TXN_NOSYNC, and does not appear to impact
performance.
* Applying this to the dbenv is necessary to avoid many fdatasync(2)
calls on db 5.x
* We carefully and thoroughly flush databases upon shutdown and
other important events already.
Add an option -detachdb (and entry in OptionDialog), without which no
lsn_reset is called on addr.dat and blkindex.dat. That means these
files cannot be moved to a new environment, but shutdown can be
significantly faster. The wallet file is always lsn_reset'ed.
-detachdb corresponds to the old behaviour, though it is off by
default now to speed up shutdowns.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
so it takes a flag for how to interpret OP_EVAL.
Also increased IsStandard size of scriptSigs to 500 bytes, so
a 3-of-3 multisig transaction IsStandard.
