This commit converts the opcode map to an array to improve performance.
Benchmark of executing a standard p2pk transaction:
New: BenchmarkExecute 2000 784349 ns/op
Old: BenchmarkExecute 2000 792600 ns/op
The time is dominated by the signature checking as expected, however there
is still an increase in speed.
This commit modifies the definition of the opcodes to their hex
counterparts rather than decimal since it is far more common to see
scripts in hex. This makes it easier when manually looking at script
dumps to correlate opcodes. However, since there are also cases where it
is useful to see the decimal value of the opcode, the decimal value has
been left as a comment. Obviously converting the numbers is trivial, but
it is handy when looking at the opcode definitions to already have it
there.
In addition, it syncs the opcodes with the latest Bitcoin Core internal
opcodes for completeness and modifies the tests accordingly.
Rather than storing a separate bool for whether or not each flag is set in
every script engine instance, store the flags and check if the relevant
flag is set from each specific location.
This reduces the memory needed by each script engine instance and means
future flags will not require new fields.
This commit renames the Script type to Engine to better reflect its
purpose. It also renames the NewScript function to NewEngine to match.
This is being done because name Script for the engine is confusing since
it implies it is an actual script rather than the execution environment
for the script. It also paves the way for eventually supplying a
ParsedScript type which will be less likely to be confused with the
execution environment.
While moving the code, some additional variable names and comments have
been updated to better match the style used throughout the rest of the
code base. In addition, an attempt has been made to use consistent naming
of the engine as 'vm' instead of using different variables names as it was
previously.
Finally, the relevant engine code has been moved into a new file named
engine.go and related tests moved to engine_test.go.
This commit separates the test functions and associated helper functions
which are used to execute the reference transaction and script tests from
Bitcoin Core into a separate file named reference_test.go.
Also, add a few comments and fix a couple of typos along the way.
This commit removes the unnecessary sigScript parameter from the
txscript.NewScript function. This has bothered me for a while because it
can and really should be obtained from the provided transaction and input
index. The way it was, the passed script could technically be different
than what is in the transaction. Obviously that would be an improper use
of the API, but it's safer and more convenient to simply pull it from the
provided transaction and index.
Also, since the function signature is changing anyways, make the input
index parameter come after the transaction which it references.
This commit removes the error returns from the BlockHeader.BlockSha,
MsgBlock.BlockSha, and MsgTx.TxSha functions since they can never fail and
end up causing a lot of unneeded error checking throughout the code base.
It also updates all call sites for the change.
* Gives node operators full control of peer connectivity
* RPC adds ability to disconnect all matching non-persistent peers,
remove persistent peers, and connect to peers making them either
temporary or persistent.
This change reduces fingerprinting via timestamps in addr messages.
Previously, the last seen time for an address was updated when
certain protocol commands were received. Now, the last seen time
is set when the peer disconnects if the peer had sent a verack
message and was connected for more than 20 minutes.
This mimics Bitcoin Core commit:
9c2737901b5203f267d21d728019d64b46f1d9f3
Also, add additional sanity checking before updating the peer's
timestamp. These include:
- Do not mark a peer as connected if we never received
a version message.
- Disconnect a peer for sending a verack before btcd
sent a version
- Disconnect a peer for sending multiple verack's

Because FetchTransactionStore in GetBlockTemplate occasionally accesses
the internal blockchain memory structure while it is being read or modified,
a race can occur. To prevent this, FetchTransactionStore is instead
routed through the internal channel for blockchain requests.
The limited user is specified with the --rpclimituser and
--rpclimitpass options (or the equivalent in the config file).
The config struct and loadConfig() are updated to take the
new options into account. The limited user can have neither
the same username nor the same password as the admin user.
The package-level rpcLimit map in rpcserver.go specifies
the RPC commands accessible by limited users. This map
includes both HTTP/S and websocket commands.
The checkAuth function gets a new return parameter to
signify whether the user is authorized to change server
state. The result is passed to the jsonRPCRead function and
to the WebsocketHandler function in rpcwebsocket.go.
The wsClient struct is updated with an "isAdmin" field
signifying that the client is authorized to change server
state, written by WebsocketHandler and handleMessage.
The handleMessage function also checks the field to
allow or disallow an RPC call.
The following documentation files are updated:
- doc.go
- sample-btcd.conf
- docs/README.md
- docs/json_rpc_api.md
- docs/configure_rpc_server_listen_interfaces.md
This commit adds a new function which is similar to the DoubleSha256
function except it returns a ShaHash copy instead of a byte slice. It
also adds a new benchmark for it.
This can be a slight optimization in certain cases where the caller
ultimately wants a ShaHash since it can avoid a heap allocation and
additional copy to convert the result to a ShaHash (the function simply
performs a type cast against the returned array which is not possible
against a []byte).
existing: DoubleSha256 500000 3081 ns/op 32 B/op 1 allocs/op
new: DoubleSha256SH 500000 2939 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
The hashing functions for blocks and transactions have also been updated
to make use of the new function since they directly return the ShaHash.
The transaction change in particular is quite useful since transactions
are frequently hashed and this change allows all of those hashes to avoid
an additional heap allocation.
This commit contains three classes of optimizations:
- Reducing the number of unnecessary hash copies
- Improve the performance of the DoubleSha256 function
- A couple of minor optimizations of the ShaHash functions
The first class is a result of the Bytes function on a ShaHash making a
copy of the bytes before returning them. It really should have been named
CloneBytes, but that would break the API now.
To address this, a comment has been added to the function which explicitly
calls out the copy behavior. In addition, all call sites of .Bytes on a
ShaHash in the code base have been updated to simply slice the array when
a copy is not needed. This saves a significant amount of data copying.
The second optimization modifies the DoubleSha256 function to directly use
fastsha256.Sum256 instead of the hasher interface. This reduces the
number of allocations needed. A benchmark for the function has been added
as well.
old: BenchmarkDoubleSha256 500000 3691 ns/op 192 B/op 3 allocs/op
new: BenchmarkDoubleSha256 500000 3081 ns/op 32 B/op 1 allocs/op
The final optimizations are for the ShaHash IsEqual and SetBytes functions
which have been modified to make use of the fact the type is an array and
remove an unneeded subslice.

This commit contains several changes needed to update the client to use
the latest version of btcjson. In addition, it contains a couple of other
minor changes along the way.
While the underlying changes are quite large, the public API of this
package is still the same, so caller should generally not have to update
their code due to that. However, the underlying btcjson package API has
changed significantly. Since this package hides the vast majority of that
from callers, it should not afffect them very much. However, one area in
particular to watch out for is that the old btcjson.Error is now
btcjson.RPCError, so any callers doing any type assertions there will need
to update.
The following is a summary of the changes:
- The underlying btcjson significantly changed how commands work, so the
internals of this package have been reworked to be based off of requests
instead of the now non-existant btcjson.Cmd interface
- Update all call sites of btcjson.New<Foo>Cmd since they can no longer
error or take varargs
- The ids for each request are part of the request now instead of the
command to match the new btcjson model and are strict uint64s so type
assertions are no longer needed (slightly improved efficiency)
- Remove the old temporary workaround for the getbalance command with an
account of "*" since btcwallet has since been fixed
- Change all instances of JSONToAmount to btcutil.NewAmount since that
function was removed in favor of btcutil.Amount
- Change all btcws invocations to btcjson since they have been combined
In order to avoid prior situations of stalled syncs due to
outdated peer height data, we now update block heights up peers in
real-time as we learn of their announced
blocks.
Updates happen when:
* A peer sends us an orphan block. We update based on
the height embedded in the scriptSig for the coinbase tx
* When a peer sends us an inv for a block we already know
of
* When peers announce new blocks. Subsequent
announcements that lost the announcement race are
recognized and peer heights are updated accordingly
Additionally, the `getpeerinfo` command has been modified
to include both the starting height, and current height of
connected peers.
Docs have been updated with `getpeerinfo` extension.
- Delete spent TX in setclearSpentData when unspent by block
disconnect on reorg; return an error when there's more than
one record to delete in the spent TX as that should never
happen.
- Test spent TX deletion when reorg causes block disconnect.
- Test for correct NewestSha results after DropAfterBlockBySha.
- Fix DropAfterBlockBySha to update info for NewestSha.
- Updated copyright statements in modified files
Fix#303 by changing the addrindex key prefix to 3 characters so that
it's easy to check length when dropping the index. To drop the old
index, check to make sure we aren't dropping any entries that end in
"sx" or "tx" as those aren't part of the addrindex. Update test to
deal with the new prefix length.
Fix#346 by changing the pointers in the mempool's addrindex map to
wire.ShaHash 32-byte values. This lets them be deleted even if the
transaction data changes places in memory upon expanding the maps.
Change the way addrindex uint32s are stored to big-endian in order to
sort the transactions on disk in chronological/dependency order.
Change the "searchrawtransactions" RPC call to return transactions
from the database before the memory pool so that they're returned in
order. This commit DOES NOT do topological sorting of the memory pool
transactions to ensure they're returned in dependency order. This may
be a good idea for a future enhancement.
Add addrindex versioning to automatically drop the old/incompatible
version of the index and rebuild with the new sort method and key
prefix.
- Use explicit index values for byte slices
- Fix a bug in FetchTxsForAddr that allocated an extra 10 bytes
for each address index
- Add missing iterator release in error path
- Check for iterator errors.
The ScriptVerifyLowS flag defines that script signatures must
comply with the DER format as well as have an S value less than
or equal to the half order.
The ScriptVerifyCleanStack flag requires that only a single
stack element remains after evaluation and that when interpreted
as a bool, it must be true. This is BIP0062, rule 6.

This commit modifies the argument handling for btcctl to treat a
parameter that is a single dash as an indicator to read that paramter from
stdin instead.
This change allows commands, such as the submitblock, to accept data piped
from stdin for any parameter. This, in turn, allows large arguments, such
as blocks, which can often be too big for a single argument due to
Operating System limitations to be submitted by putting them into a file
and redirecting stdin.
For example:
btcctl submitblock - <block.hex
cat block.hex | btcctl submitblock -
btcctl sendrawtransaction - <tx.hex
cat tx.hex | btcctl sendrawtransaction -
This commit adds a new function to the blockchain package named
IsCoinBaseTx which performs the same function as IsCoinBase except it
takes raw wire transactions as opposed to the higher level util
transactions.
While here, it also adds a file for benchmarks along with a couple of
benchmarks for the IsCoinBase and IsCoinBaseTx functions.
Finally, the function was very slightly optimized:
BenchmarkIsCoinBaseOld 100000000 10.7 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
BenchmarkIsCoinBaseNew 200000000 6.05 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
For every transaction in a newly accepted block, process the orphan
pool moving now no longer orphan transactions to the mempool.
Previously, no longer orphan transactions would remain in the orphan
pool.
This change increases the maximum allowed bytes allowed in pushed
data to be considered a nulldata transaction. This matches the current
value the reference implementation uses by default.
This commit provides a new function named PkScriptLocs on the MsgTx type
which can be used to efficiently retrieve a list of offsets for the public
key scripts for the serialized form of the transaction.
This is useful for certain applications which store fully serialized
transactions and want to be able to quickly index into the serialized
transaction to extract a give public key script directly thereby avoiding
the need to deserialize the entire transaction.
This commit modifies finalized transaction check used by the memory pool
and block templates to use the network adjusted time instead of the
unadjusted local time. This helps keep the transactions accepted to the
memory pool, and hence allowed to relay, more consistent across nodes.
