Prevent denial-of-service attacks by banning
peers that send us invalid orphan transactions
and only storing orphan transactions given to
us by a peer while the peer is connected.
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
Two changes:
First removes a unit test that fails in my development environment
(OSX, compiled -g3 with clang).
sipa says that's not terribly surprising; the CMutableTransaction change
makes signing a little more expensive but verification quicker. The unit
test timed sign+verify-uncached versus verify-cached-five-times.
He also says the test will be invalid when libsec256kp1 is integrated
(because validation is super-optimized over signing).
core.h change fixes a compiler warning (clang -Wall : CMutableTransaction defined
as struct, declared as class in script.h).
- Add license headers to source files (years based on commit dates)
in `src/test` as well as `qa`
- Add `README.md` to `src/test/data` specifying MIT license
Fixes#3848
Keep track of which block is being requested (and to be requested) from
each peer, and limit the number of blocks in-flight per peer. In addition,
detect stalled downloads, and disconnect if they persist for too long.
This means blocks are never requested twice, and should eliminate duplicate
downloads during synchronization.
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.
Orphan transactions were stored as a CDataStream pointer;
this changes the mapOrphanTransactions data structures to
store orphans as a CTransaction.
This also fixes CVE-2013-4627 by always re-serializing
transactions before relaying them.
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.
These flags select features to be enabled/disabled during script
evaluation/checking, instead of several booleans passed along.
Currently these flags are defined:
* SCRIPT_VERIFY_P2SH: enable BIP16-style subscript evaluation
* SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC: enforce strict adherence to pubkey/sig encoding standards.
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.
This introduces internal types:
* CKeyID: reference (hash160) of a key
* CScriptID: reference (hash160) of a script
* CTxDestination: a boost::variant of the former two
CBitcoinAddress is retrofitted to be a Base58 encoding of a
CTxDestination. This allows all internal code to only use the
internal types, and only have RPC and GUI depend on the base58 code.
Furthermore, the header dependencies are a lot saner now. base58.h is
at the top (right below rpc and gui) instead of at the bottom. For the
rest: wallet -> script -> keystore -> key. Only keystore still requires
a forward declaration of CScript. Solving that would require splitting
script into two layers.

Create a maximum-10MB signature verification result cache.
This should almost double the number of transactions that
can be processed on a given CPU, because before this change
ECDSA signatures were verified when transactions were added
to the memory pool and then again when they appeared in
a block.
This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
