This commit resolves a minor issue where an error in the config file would
prevent the help from being shown until the config file error was
resolved.
This results in the following behavior:
- With a malformed header:
$ ./btcd
Error parsing config file: ~/btcd/btcd.conf:14: malformed section header
Use btcd -h to show usage
- With an invalid option:
$ ./btcd
Error parsing config file: unknown option: bogus
Use btcd -h to show usage
- Invoking help with an error in the config file:
$ ./btcd -h
Usage:
...
- Invoking with an invalid command line option:
$ ./btcd --bogus=bogus
unknown flag `bogus'
Use btcd -h to show usage

This commit builds on the recent limiter updates. The recent changes
introduced a new function named calcTxFee which could easily be confused
with calculating the fees of the transaction rather than its intended
purpose of calculating the minimum transaciton relay fee.
Rather than taking that approach, this commit instead renames the existing
function to calcMinRequiredTxRelayFee and uses a consistent variable name
for the serialized size of a transaction. It then moves the check for
whether or not the check should be applied based on the serialized size of
the transcation and block priority to the call site.
This approach also has the benefit of avoiding two calls to the
calculation function since it's a local at the call site.
ok @jrick, @dajohi
Before, btcd was rate limiting all transactions that had a minimum
fee of zero. Now, btcd only rate limits transactions that contain
a fee less than the calculated fee based on size.
Closes#163
This commit adds an example test file so it integrates nicely with Go's
example tooling.
This allows the example output to be tested as a part of running the
normal Go tests to help ensure it doesn't get out of date with the code.
It is also nice to have the examples in one place rather than repeating it
in doc.go and README.md.
Links and information about the examples have been included in README.md in
place of the examples and doc.go has been updated accordingly.
This ensures we backoff when reconnecting to peers for which we don't
understand the replies, just like we do for peers we fail to connect to.
Closes#103
The notification queue used for websocket client notifications had a
bug which caused the next queued item in some situations to not be
sent, but instead send a previously sent item. This change fixes this
by setting the 'next' variable to the next item which must be
dequeued, if the queue length is non-zero.
This bug did not always manifest itself as if the receiving goroutine
was ready, a queued item could be sent directly to it rather than
waiting in the queue to be sent at a later time.
This change modifies the behavior of the gettxout RPC to match the
behavior of the reference client. If a transaction output is spent by
a mined transaction, the handler will now return nil (JSON null).
While here, avoid indexing some slices multiple times, by creating a
local variable instead.
The sync.atomic requires alignment of variables used atomically on ARM.
This commit moves the connected and disconnect variables in the peer
struct up so they are aligned.
Fixes#157.
This commit prevents a race that could happen on shutdown if a sigint was
received between adding the first the interrupt handler and and future
handlers. This code is loosely based on initial pull request #154 which
was not accepted due to introducing a race of its own.
Thanks to @tuxcanfly for the intial pull request and finding the issue.
This commit introduces an HDPrivateKeyID and HDPublicKeyID field to the
params struct which are used by hierarchical deterministic extended keys
as defined by BIP0032.
In addition, a new function named HDPrivateKeyToPublicKeyID has been added
to allow the caller to get the associated public key ID given a private
key ID.
The tests have also been updated to maintain 100% test coverage.

Rather than showing the usage when an error is encounted during options
parsing, show a message that describes how to invoke help instead. This
is useful because the help is long enough now that the error is often
overlooked since it scrolls out of view.

This commit implements reject handling as defined by BIP0061 and bumps the
maximum supported protocol version to 70002 accordingly.
As a part of supporting this a new error type named RuleError has been
introduced which encapsulates and underlying error which could be one of
the existing TxRuleError or btcchain.RuleError types.
This allows a single high level type assertion to be used to determine if
the block or transaction was rejected due to a rule error or due to an
unexpected error. Meanwhile, an appropriate reject error can be created
from the error by pulling the underlying error out and using it.
Also, a check for minimum protocol version of 209 has been added.
Closes#133.
Although it is possible to get the command name for each msg type by
creating an instances of the type and calling the Command method against
it, it's slightly more efficient to simply allows callers to have direct
access to the exported constants.
This is currently really useful for the reject message since callers need
to be able to examine the command type to determine whether or not the
hash field needs to be included.
This commit splits the two rule validation errors related to the timestamp
being too old into two distince errors rather than grouping them under the
same one. Thus there is now a new ErrCheckpointTimeTooNew in addition to
the existing ErrTimeTooNew error.
This allows the caller to detect the when a block is rejected due to a
time-related checkpoint failure whereas before the combined error did not.
The done and wait channels used to throttle outgoing data are being used
as semaphores. As mentioned in the previous commit, it's more efficient
to use a 0-byte type and allow compiler optimizations for the specific use
case.
