This removes the CalcPastMedianTime since it is now exposed much more
efficiently via the MedianTime field of the BestState snapshot returned
from the BestSnapshot function.
This modifies the block nodes used in the blockchain package for keeping
track of the block index to use int64 for the timestamps instead of
time.Time.
This is being done because a time.Time takes 24 bytes while an int64
only takes 8 and the plan is to eventually move the entire block index
into memory instead of the current dynamically-loaded version, so
cutting the number of bytes used for the timestamp by a third is highly
desirable.
Also, the consensus code requires working with unix-style timestamps
anyways, so switching over to them in the block node does not seem
unreasonable.
Finally, this does not go so far as to change all of the time.Time
references, particularly those that are in the public API, so it is
purely an internal change.
This modifies the rpctest harness and its associated memwallet to make
use of the new filter-based notifications since the old notifications
are now deprecated.
It also updates the glide.lock file to require the necessary
btcrpcclient version.
This modifies the blockchain code to store all blocks that have passed
proof-of-work and contextual validity tests in the database even if they
may ultimately fail to connect.
This eliminates the need to store those blocks in memory, allows them to
be available as orphans later even if they were never part of the main
chain, and helps pave the way toward being able to separate the download
logic from the connection logic.
This modifies the .travis.yml file to install a release version of glide
instead of using its latest master branch. This will prevent upstream
changes from inadvertently breaking the CI builds.
This contains a bit of cleanup and additional logic to improve the
recently-added ability to specify additional checkpoints via the
--addcheckpoint option.
In particular:
- Improve error messages in the checkpoint parsing
- Correct the mergeCheckpoints function to weed out duplicate height
checkpoints while using the most-recently provided one as described by
its comment
- Add an assertion to blockchain.New that the provided checkpoints are
sorted as required
- Keep comments to 80 columns and use two spaces after periods in them to
be consistent with the rest of the code base
- Make the entry in doc.go match the actual btcd -h output
The most recent version of glide creates a working directory named
.glide that includes .go files and thus must be excluded from the find
operation that generates merged test coverage of all packages.
A DNS lookup was being attempted on onion addresses causing
connections to fail. This has been fixed by introducing type
onionAddr (which implements a net.Addr interface) and passing
it to btcdDial.
Also, the following onion related fixes have been made:
* getaddednodeinfo - updated to handle onion addrs.
* TorLookupIP - fixed err being shadowed.
* newServer - rename tcpAddr to netAddr
* addrStringToNetAddr - skip if host is already an IP addr.
* addrStringToNetAddr - err if tor is disabled
* getaddednodeinfo - check if host is already an IP addr.
ScriptVerifyNullFail defines that signatures must be empty if a
CHECKSIG or CHECKMULTISIG operation fails.
This commit also enables ScriptVerifyNullFail at the mempool policy
level.
This updates the data driven transaction script tests to use the most
recent format and test data as implemented by Core so the test data can
more easily be updated and help prove cross-compatibility correctness.
In particular, the new format combines the previously separate valid and
invalid test data files into a single file and adds a field for the
expected result. This is a nice improvement since it means tests can
now ensure script failures are due to a specific expected reason as
opposed to only generically detecting failure as the previous format
required.
The btcd script engine typically returns more fine grained errors than
the test data expects, so the test adapter handles this by allowing
expected errors in the test data to be mapped to multiple txscript
errors.
It should also be noted that the tests related to segwit have been
stripped from the data since the segwit PR has not landed in master yet,
however the test adapter does recognize the new ability for optional
segwit data to be supplied, though it will need to properly construct
the transaction using that data when the time comes.
This converts the majority of script errors from generic errors created
via errors.New and fmt.Errorf to use a concrete type that implements the
error interface with an error code and description.
This allows callers to programmatically detect the type of error via
type assertions and an error code while still allowing the errors to
provide more context.
For example, instead of just having an error the reads "disabled opcode"
as would happen prior to these changes when a disabled opcode is
encountered, the error will now read "attempt to execute disabled opcode
OP_FOO".
While it was previously possible to programmatically detect many errors
due to them being exported, they provided no additional context and
there were also various instances that were just returning errors
created on the spot which callers could not reliably detect without
resorting to looking at the actual error message, which is nearly always
bad practice.
Also, while here, export the MaxStackSize and MaxScriptSize constants
since they can be useful for consumers of the package and perform some
minor cleanup of some of the tests.
If a host is down and doesn't send a TCP RST, the net.Dial function
blocks until the OS times out the connection. Convert to using
DialTimeout with a 30 second default timeout.
Fail fast if glide or gometalinter isn't available.
And also fail if running glide or gometalinter fails.
Before goclean.sh could pass even if glide or gometalinter wasn't
available at all. It seems that even though we use `set -ex`, their
failure was hidden either inside the $() or behind the pipe.
This adds tests which exercise the BIP0009 state transitions using the
newly available soft fork status information in the getblockchaininfo
RPC.
The following is an overview of the tests added:
- Assert the chain height is 0 and the state is ThresholdDefined
- Generate 1 fewer blocks than needed to reach the first state
transition
- Assert chain height is expected and state is still ThresholdDefined
- Generate 1 more block to reach the first state transition
- Assert chain height is expected and state moved to ThresholdStarted
- Generate enough blocks to reach the next state transition window, but
only signal support in 1 fewer than the required number to achieve
ThresholdLockedIn
- Assert chain height is expected and state is still ThresholdStarted
- Generate enough blocks to reach the next state transition window with
only the exact number of blocks required to achieve locked in status
signalling support
- Assert chain height is expected and state moved to ThresholdLockedIn
- Generate 1 fewer blocks than needed to reach the next state transition
- Assert chain height is expected and state is still ThresholdLockedIn
- Generate 1 more block to reach the next state transition
- Assert chain height is expected and state moved to ThresholdActive
In addition, it updates the existing BIP0009 mining tests to include
extra assertions that the chain height is at the expected height in
addition to checking that the bits are correctly set according to the
expected state.
This commit updates the fields of GetBlockChainInfoResult to reflect
the current state of the RPC as widely implemented by other full-node
implementations.
Replace assignments to individual fields of wire.NetAddress with
creating the entire object at once, as one would do if the type was
immutable.
In some places this replaces the creation of a NetAddress with a
high-precision timestamp with a call to a 'constructor' that converts
the timestamp to single second precision. For consistency, the tests
have also been changed to use single-precision timestamps.
Lastly, the number of allocations in readNetAddress have been reduced by
reading the services directly into the NetAddress instead of first into
a temporary variable.
The thresholdState and deploymentState functions expect the block node
for the block prior to which the threshold state is calculated, however
the startup code which checked the threshold states was using the
current best node instead of its parent.
While here, also update the comments and rename a couple of variables to
help make this fact more clear.
