6e873df3478f3ab8f67d1b9339c7e990ae90e95b serfloat: improve/simplify tests (Pieter Wuille) b45f1f56582fb3a0d17db5014ac57f1fb40a3611 serfloat: do not test encode(bits)=bits anymore (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: Closes #28941. Our current tests for serfloat verify two distinct properties: 1. Whether they roundtrip `double`->`uint64_t`->`double` (excluding NaN values) on all systems. 2. Whether on systems with a typical floating point unit that encoding matches the hardware representation, as before v22.0, we would dump the hardware representation directly to disk and we wanted to retain compatibility with that. #28941 seems to show that the second property doesn't always hold, but just for "subnormal" numbers (below $2^{-1021}$). Since we don't care about encoding these numbers, we could exclude such subnormal numbers from the hardware-identical representation test, but this PR goes further and just drops the second property entirely, as I don't think we care about edge-case compatibility with pre-v22.0 code for fee_estimates.dat (the only place it is used). ACKs for top commit: glozow: ACK 6e873df3478f3ab8f67d1b9339c7e990ae90e95b fanquake: ACK 6e873df3478f3ab8f67d1b9339c7e990ae90e95b - It's not as much of a priority, but I think we could still backport this.

What is Dash?
Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.
License
Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dash Core.
The develop branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Build / Compile from Source
The ./configure, make, and cmake steps, as well as build dependencies, are in ./doc/ as well:
- Linux: ./doc/build-unix.md
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and others - macOS: ./doc/build-osx.md
- Windows: ./doc/build-windows.md
- OpenBSD: ./doc/build-openbsd.md
- FreeBSD: ./doc/build-freebsd.md
- NetBSD: ./doc/build-netbsd.md
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
