This commit modifies the GenerateInitialIndex function to update the best
chain with each node as it is loaded. This allows the best chain to be
set immediately upon generating the initial index which is a slight
performance optimization.
This commit provides a new exported function, HaveInventory, which can
be used to determine if the already has the item referenced by passed
inventory vector. Currently it only provides support for blocks and
cursory support for transactions in the main chain. Types that are
unrecognized are returned as if they unknown as expected.
This commit provides a new exported function, IsKnownOrphan, which can
be used to determine if the passed hash is currently already known to the
chain as an orphan.
This commit exposes GetOrphanRoot to callers. It also modifies the code
to allow the function to be called in a concurrent safe manner. This
allows the information to be safely obtained from multiple goroutines.
This code is still prototype at this time.
It appears to function correctly but something
consumes more memory than is considered reasonable
for the dataset comprised of the full bitcoind chain.
Not recommened for use at this time.
When running in regression test mode, it is unlikely the user wants to
connect to permanent peers they have configured in their config file.
This commit modifies the code to ignore the config file entry when in
regression test mode. The user can still provide -a (or --addpeer) on the
command line to override this if they really want to connect out to a
specific peer during regression test mode.
It is not safe to remove elements from a slice while iterating them with
the range statement since it does not reevaluate the slice on each
iteration nor does it adjust the index for the modified slice. This
commit modifies the code to use a for loop with an index (which does
reevaluate on every iteration) and manually adjusts the index when
elements are removed from the slice.
This commit modifies the input message handler so that when a remote peer
sends a block, no further messages from that peer are accepted until the
block has been fully processed and therefore known good or bad. This
helps prevent a malicious peer from queueing up a bunch of bad blocks
before disconnecting (or being disconnected) and wasting memory.
Additionally, this behavior is depended on by at least the block
acceptance test tool as the reference implementation processes blocks in
the same thread and therefore blocks further messages until the block has
been fully processed as well.
Add new RpcRawCommand to get []byte represtation of reply instead of
btcjson.Result.
Export ReadResultCommand to allow caller of RpcRawCommand to deal with
the reply in the same way RpcCommand does.
Adjust test code to for the above changes.
The commit reworks the server statup and shutdown sequence to ensure the
server can always shutdown cleanly. The peer code depends on being able
to send messages to the address and block managers, so they need to have
their lifecycle tied to the peer handler to prevent issues with
asynchronous shutdown order.
Add return types for serveral additional commands.
Fix required vs. optional arguments for createrawtransaction.
Update tests and test coverage for all changes.
Although not required if the proxy set is indeed Tor, setting this option
does the following:
- Sends DNS queries over the Tor network (during dns seed lookup). This
stops your IP from being leaked via DNS.
- Does not disable the listening port. This allows the hidden services
feature of Tor to be used.
Previously, the genesis block was only inserted when the database was
created, but it's possible due to rollback that the database is created
and the genesis block insert gets rolled back if the app is existed too
quickly. This commit modifies the logic to test the need for the genesis
block any time the database is loaded and insert it if necessary.
This function is a convenience method to create a new NetAddress
from a net.IP and uint16 port as opposed to a net.Addr which must be of
type *net.TCPAddr. This allows callers to support connection types that
don't provide access to a concrete *net.TCPAddr implementation.
This commit provide support for a new nolisten option which disables
listening for incoming connections. It also disable listening when the
--connect option is used.
This commit disables the RPC server by default if no RPC username of
password is specified (either via the command line or through the config
file).
Closes#2.
This commit implements support for listening on multiple sockets and
changes the default listen code to use one socket per address family (IPv4
and IPv6).
In addition, it changes the default listen binding for the RPC server to
localhost so only local clients can connect to it.
There need to be several options added to allow customization of these
settings and those will be in future commits.
Fixes#3.
