This concludes 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.
In particular, it converts the detection of witness script hash scripts
to use raw script analysis and the new tokenizer.
With all of the limbs now useing optimized variants, the following is a

This continues the process of converting the typeOfScript function to

In particular, it converts the detection of null data scripts to use raw

In particular, it converts the detection of pay-to-pubkey scripts to use
raw script analysis.
This continues 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.
In particular, for this commit, since the ability to detect multisig
scripts via the new tokenizer is now available, the function is simply
updated to make use of it.
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.
The following is a before and after comparison of analyzing a large

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.

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

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.
The extract function approach was chosen because it is common for
callers to want to only extract relevant details from a script if the

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 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.

BenchmarkCalcSigHash-8 1373812 1293354 -5.86%
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 resolves the more fundamental flake in the unit tests noted in the
prior commit.
Because multiple unit tests call rand.Seed in parallel, it's possible
they can be executed with the same unix timestamp (in seconds). If the
second call happens between generating the hash cache and checking that
the cache doesn't contain a random txn, the random transaction is in
fact a duplicate of one generated earlier since the RNG state was reset.
To remedy, we initialize rand.Seed once in the init function.
TestHashCacheAddContainsHashes flakes fairly regularly when rebasing
PR #1684 with:
txid <txid> wasn't inserted into cache but was found.
With probabilty 1/10^2 there will be no inputs on the transaction. This
reduces the entropy in the txid, and I belive is the primary cause of
the flake.
- create benchmarks to measure allocations
- add test for benchmark input
- create a low alloc parseScriptTemplate
- refactor parsing logic for a single opcode
In this commit, we extend the txscript package to support re-deriving
the PkScript of an output by looking at the input's signature
script/witness attempting to spend it. As of this commit, the only
supported types are P2SH, v0 P2WSH, and v0 P2WPKH.
This will serve useful to detect when a particular script has been spent
on-chain.
A set of test vectors has also been added for the supported script types
to ensure its correctness.
This cleans up the code for handling the checksig and checkmultisig
opcode strict signatures to explicitly call out any semantics that are
likely not obvious and improve readability.
It also introduce new distinct errors for each condition which can
result in a signature being rejected due to not following the strict
encoding requirements and updates reference test adaptor accordingly.
This modifies calcSignatureHash to use a shallow copy of the transaction
versus a deep copy since the actual scripts themselves are not modified
and therefore don't need to be copied.
This is being done because profiling the most overall allocated space
shows that the deep copy performed in calcSignatureHash accounts for
nearly 20% of all allocations on a synced running instance. Also,
copying all of the additional data makes it more time consuming as well.
With this change, that figure drops from ~20% to ~5% of all allocations.
The following benchmark shows the relative speedups and allocation
reduction as a result of the optimization on my system. In particular,
the changes result in approximately a 15% speedup and a whopping 99.89%
reduction in allocations when using a large transaction with thousands
of inputs which was the worst case scenario.

This commit adds verification of the post-segwit standardness
requirement that all pubkeys involved in checks operations MUST be
serialized as compressed public keys. A new ScriptFlag has been added
to guard this behavior when executing scripts.
This commit modifies the op-code execution for OP_IF and OP_NOTIF to
enforce the additional “minimal if” constraints which require the
top-stack item when the op codes are encountered to be either an empty
vector, or exactly [0x01].
This commit implements the flag activation portion of BIP 0147. The
verification behavior triggered by the NULLDUMMY script verification
flag has been present within btcd for some time, however it wasn’t
activated by default.
With this commit, once segwit has activated, the ScriptStrictMultiSig
will also be activated within the Script VM. Additionally, the
ScriptStrictMultiSig is now a standard script verification flag which
is used unconditionally within the mempool.
This commit implements full witness program validation for the
currently defined version 0 witness programs. This includes validation
logic for nested p2sh, p2wsh, and p2wkh. Additionally, when in witness
validation mode, an additional set of constrains are enforced such as
using the new sighash digest algorithm and enforcing clean stack
behavior within witness programs.
This commit fixes an off-by-one error which is only manifested by the
new behavior of OP_CODESEPARATOR within sig hashes triggered by the
segwit behavior. The current behavior within the Script VM
(txscript.Engine) is known to be fully correct to the extent that it has
been verified. However, once segwit activates a consensus divergence
would emerge due to *when* the program counter was incremented in the
previous code (pre-this-commit).
Currently (pre-segwit) when calculating the pre-image to a transaction
sighash for signature verification, *all* instances of OP_CODESEPARATOR
are removed from the subScript being signed before generating the final
sighash. SegWit has additional nerfed the behavior of OP_CODESEPARATOR
by no longer removing them (and starting after the last instance), but
instead simply starting the subScript to be directly *after* the last
instance of an OP_CODESEPARATOR within the pkScript.
Due to this new behavior, without this commit, an off-by-one error
(which only matters post-segwit), would cause txscript to generate an
incorrect subScript since the instance of OP_CODESEPARATOR would remain
as part of the subScript instead of being sliced off as the new behavior
dictates. The off-by-one error itself is manifested due to a slight
divergence in txscript.Engine’s logic compared to Bitcoin Core. In
Bitcoin Core script verification is as follows: first the next op-code
is fetched, then program counter is incremented, and finally the op-code
itself is executed. Before this commit, btcd flipped the order
of the last two steps, executing the op-code *before* the program
counter was incremented.
This commit fixes the post-segwit consensus divergence by incrementing
the program-counter *before* the next op-code is executed. It is
important to note that this divergence is only significant post-segwit,
meaning that txscript.Engine is still consensus compliant independent of
this commit.
This commit introduces a series of internal and external helper
functions which enable the txscript package to be aware of the new
standard script templates introduced as part of BIP0141. The two new
standard script templates recognized are pay-to-witness-key-hash
(P2WKH) and pay-to-witness-script-hash (P2WSH).
This commit implements most of BIP0143 by adding logic to implement the
new sighash calculation, signing, and additionally introduces the
HashCache optimization which eliminates the O(N^2) computational
complexity for the SIGHASH_ALL sighash type.
The HashCache struct is the equivalent to the existing SigCache struct,
but for caching the reusable midstate for transactions which are
spending segwitty outputs.
The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.
There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.
First, all log messages are created before the call returns. Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.
Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging"). Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.
Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output. The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files. Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.
The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer
allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links and now
requires a newline in between anchors and other formatting. This
updates all of the markdown files accordingly.
While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in some of the
README.md files.
Now that glide is used for version management and a specific commit of
the upstream repository can be locked it is no longer necessary to
maintain a fork of the package specifically to keep a stable dependency.
While here, update the glide dependency for btcutil as well since it was
switched to use the upstream path as well.
This simplifies the code based on the recommendations of the gosimple
lint tool.
Also, it increases the deadline for the linters to run to 10 minutes and
reduces the number of threads that is uses. This is being done because
the Travis environment has become increasingly slower and it also seems
to be hampered by too many threads running concurrently.
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.
