This begins the process of converting the typeOfScript function to use a
combination of raw script analysis and the new tokenizer instead of the
far less efficient parsed opcodes with the intent of significantly
optimizing the function.
In order to ease the review process, each script type will be converted
in a separate commit and the typeOfScript function will be updated such
that the script is only parsed as a fallback for the cases that are not
already converted to more efficient raw script variants.
In particular, for this commit, since the ability to detect
pay-to-script-hash via raw script analysis is now available, the
function is simply updated to make use of it.
This converts the typeOfScript function to accept a script version and
raw script instead of an array of internal parsed opcodes in order to
make it more flexible for raw script analysis.
Also, this adds a comment to CalcScriptInfo to call out the specific
version semantics and deprecates the function since nothing currently
uses it, and the relevant information can now be obtained by callers
more directly through the use of the new script tokenizer.
All other callers are updated accordingly.
This converts the GetWitnessSigOpCount function to use a combination of
raw script analysis and the new tokenizer instead of the far less
efficeint parseScript, thereby significantly optimizing the funciton.
In particular, it use the recently added countSigOpsv0 in precise mode
to avoid calling paseScript.
This converts the GetPreciseSigOpCount function to use a combination of
raw script analysis and the new tokenizer instead of the far less
efficient parseScript thereby significantly optimizing the function.
In particular it uses the recently converted isScriptHashScript,
IsPushOnlyScript, and countSigOpsV0 functions along with the recently
added finalOpcodeData functions.
It also modifies the comment to explicitly call out the script version
semantics.
The following is a before and after comparison of analyzing a large
script:

BenchmarkGetPreciseSigOpCount-8 3 0 -100.00%

BenchmarkGetPreciseSigOpCount-8 623367 0 -100.00%
This converts the GetSigOpCount function to make use of the new
tokenizer instead of the far less efficient parseScript thereby
significantly optimizing the function.
A new function named countSigOpsV0 which accepts the raw script is
introduced to perform the bulk of the work so it can be reused for
precise signature operation counting as well in a later commit. It
retains the same semantics in terms of counting the number of signature
operations either up to the first parse error or the end of the script
in the case it parses successfully as required by consensus.
Finally, this also deprecates the getSigOpCount function that requires
opcodes in favor of the new function and modifies the comment on
GetSigOpCount to explicitly call out the script version semantics.

This moves the check for non push-only pay-to-script-hash signature
scripts before the script parsing logic when creating a new engine
instance to avoid the extra overhead in the error case.
This modifies the check for whether or not a pay-to-script-hash
signature script is a push only script to make use of the new and more
efficient raw script function.
Also, since the script will have already been checked further above when
the ScriptVerifySigPushOnly flags is set, avoid checking it again in
that case.

This converts the IsUnspendable function to make use of a combination of
raw script analysis and the new tokenizer instead of the far less
efficient parseScript thereby significantly optimizing the function.
It is important to note that this new implementation intentionally has a
semantic difference from the existing implementation in that it will now
report scripts that are larger than the max allowed script size are
unspendable as well.
Finally, the comment is modified to explicitly call out the script
version semantics.
Note: this function was recently optimized in master, so the gains here
are less noticable than other optimizations.

This converts the IsPayToWitnessScriptHash function to analyze the raw
script instead of using the far less efficient parseScript, thereby
significantly optimizing the function.
In order to accomplish this, it introduces two new functions. The first
one is named extractWitnessScriptHash and works with the raw script byte
to simultaneously deteremine if the script is a p2wsh script, and in the
case that is is, extract and return the hash. The second new function is
named isWitnessScriptHashScript and is defined in terms of the former.
The extract function approach was chosed because it is common for
callers to want to only extract relevant details from a script if the
script is of the specific type. Extracting those details requires
performing the exact same checks to ensure the script is of the correct
type, so it is more efficient to combine the two into one and define the
type determination in terms of the result, so long as the extraction
does not require allocations.
Finally, this also deprecates the isWitnessScriptHash function that
requires opcodes in favor of the new functions and modifies the comment
on IsPayToWitnessScriptHash to call out the script version semantics.
The following is a before and after comparison of executing

This converts the IsPayToWitnessPubKeyHash function to analyze the raw
script instead of the far less efficient parseScript, thereby
significantly optimizing the function.
In order to accomplish this, it introduces two new functions. The first
one is named extractWitnessPubKeyHash and works with the raw script
bytes to simultaneously deteremine if the script is a p2wkh, and in case
it is, extract and return the hash. The second new function is name
isWitnessPubKeyHashScript which is defined in terms of the former.

This converts the IsPushOnlyScript function to make use of the new
tokenizer instead of the far less efficient parseScript thereby
significantly optimizing the function.
It also deprecates the isPushOnly function that requires opcodes in
favor of the new function and modifies the comment on IsPushOnlyScript
to explicitly call out the script version semantics.

This converts the IsMultisigSigScript function to analyze the raw script
and make use of the new tokenizer instead of the far less efficient
parseScript thereby significantly optimizing the function.
In order to accomplish this, it first rejects scripts that can't
possibly fit the bill due to the final byte of what would be the redeem
script not being the appropriate opcode or the overall script not having
enough bytes. Then, it uses a new function that is introduced named
finalOpcodeData that uses the tokenizer to return any data associated
with the final opcode in the signature script (which will be nil for
non-push opcodes or if the script fails to parse) and analyzes it as if
it were a redeem script when it is non nil.
It is also worth noting that this new implementation intentionally has
the same semantic difference from the existing implementation as the
updated IsMultisigScript function in regards to allowing zero pubkeys
whereas previously it incorrectly required at least one pubkey.
Finally, the comment is modified to explicitly call out the script
version semantics.
The following is a before and after comparison of analyzing a large
script that is not a multisig script and both a 1-of-2 multisig public
key script (which should be false) and a signature script comprised of a
pay-to-script-hash 1-of-2 multisig redeem script (which should be true):

This converts the IsMultisigScript function to make use of the new
tokenizer instead of the far less efficient parseScript thereby
significantly optimizing the function.
In order to accomplish this, it introduces two new functions. The first
one is named extractMultisigScriptDetails and works with the raw script
bytes to simultaneously determine if the script is a multisignature
script, and in the case it is, extract and return the relevant details.
The second new function is named isMultisigScript and is defined in
terms of the former.
The extract function accepts the script version, raw script bytes, and a
flag to determine whether or not the public keys should also be
extracted. The flag is provided because extracting pubkeys results in
an allocation that the caller might wish to avoid.
The extract function approach was chosen because it is common for
callers to want to only extract relevant details from a script if the
script is of the specific type. Extracting those details requires
performing the exact same checks to ensure the script is of the correct
type, so it is more efficient to combine the two into one and define the
type determination in terms of the result so long as the extraction does
not require allocations.
It is important to note that this new implementation intentionally has a
semantic difference from the existing implementation in that it will now
correctly identify a multisig script with zero pubkeys whereas
previously it incorrectly required at least one pubkey. This change is
acceptable because the function only deals with standardness rather than
consensus rules.
Finally, this also deprecates the isMultiSig function that requires
opcodes in favor of the new functions and deprecates the error return on
the export IsMultisigScript function since it really does not make sense
given the purpose of the function.
The following is a before and after comparison of analyzing both a large

In order to accomplish this, it introduces two new functions. The first

to simultaneously determine if the script is a pay-to-pubkey-hash script,

This converts the IsPayToScriptHash function to analyze the raw script
instead of using the far less efficient parseScript, thereby
significantly optimizing the function.
In order to accomplish this, it introduces four new functions:
extractCompressedPubKey, extractUncompressedPubKey, extractPubKey, and
isPubKeyScript. The extractPubKey function makes use of
extractCompressedPubKey and extractUncompressedPubKey to combine their
functionality as a convenience and isPubKeyScript is defined in terms of
extractPubKey.
The extractCompressedPubKey works with the raw script bytes to
simultaneously determine if the script is a pay-to-compressed-pubkey
script, and in the case it is, extract and return the raw compressed
pubkey bytes.
Similarly, the extractUncompressedPubKey works in the same way except it
determines if the script is a pay-to-uncompressed-pubkey script and
returns the raw uncompressed pubkey bytes in the case it is.

This converts the asSmallInt function to accept an opcode as a byte
instead of the internal opcode data struct in order to make it more

It also updates all callers accordingly.

This converts the tests for calculating signature hashes to use the

This modifies the CalcSignatureHash function to make use of the new
signature hash calculation function that accepts raw scripts without
needing to first parse them. Consequently, it also doubles as a slight
optimization to the execution time and a significant reduction in the
number of allocations.
In order to convert the CalcScriptHash function and keep the same
semantics, a new function named checkScriptParses is introduced which
will quickly determine if a script can be fully parsed without failure
and return the parse failure in the case it can't.

This introduces a new function named calcSignatureHashRaw which accepts
the raw script bytes to calculate the script hash versus requiring the
parsed opcode only to unparse them later in order to make it more
flexible for working with raw scripts.
Since there are several places in the rest of the code that currently
only have access to the parsed opcodes, this modifies the existing
calcSignatureHash to first unparse the script before calling the new
function.

This converts the DisasmString function to make use of the new
zero-allocation script tokenizer instead of the far less efficient
parseScript thereby significantly optimizing the function.
In order to facilitate this, the opcode disassembly functionality is
split into a separate function called disasmOpcode that accepts the
opcode struct and data independently as opposed to requiring a parsed
opcode. The new function also accepts a pointer to a string builder so
the disassembly can be more efficiently be built.
While here, the comment is modified to explicitly call out the script
version semantics.

This implements an efficient and zero-allocation script tokenizer that
is exported to both provide a new capability to tokenize scripts to
external consumers of the API as well as to serve as a base for
refactoring the existing highly inefficient internal code.
It is important to note that this tokenizer is intended to be used in
consensus critical code in the future, so it must exactly follow the
existing semantics.
The current script parsing mechanism used throughout the txscript module
is to fully tokenize the scripts into an array of internal parsed
opcodes which are then examined and passed around in order to implement
virtually everything related to scripts.
While that approach does simplify the analysis of certain scripts and
thus provide some nice properties in that regard, it is both extremely
inefficient in many cases, and makes it impossible for external
consumers of the API to implement any form of custom script analysis
without manually implementing a bunch of error prone tokenizing code or,
alternatively, the script engine exposing internal structures.
For example, as shown by profiling the total memory allocations of an
initial sync, the existing script parsing code allocates a total of
around 295.12GB, which equates to around 50% of all allocations
performed. The zero-alloc tokenizer this introduces will allow that to
be reduced to virtually zero.
The following is a before and after comparison of tokenizing a large
script with a high opcode count using the existing code versus the
tokenizer this introduces for both speed and memory allocations:

The following is an overview of the changes:
- Introduce new error code ErrUnsupportedScriptVersion
- Implement zero-allocation script tokenizer
- Add a full suite of tests to ensure the tokenizer works as intended
and follows the required consensus semantics
- Add an example of using the new tokenizer to count the number of
opcodes in a script
- Update README.md to include the new example
- Update script parsing benchmark to use the new tokenizer
This gives KnownAddress a sync.RWMutex so the exported methods may
safely access the na (*wire.NetAddress) and lastattempt fields.
The AddrManager is updated to lock the new KnownAddress mutex before
assigning to na or lastattempt.
The other KnownAddress fields are only accessed by AddrManager, using
its own Mutex for synchronization.
