Rather than using bytes.NewBuffer, which is a read/write entity
(io.ReadWriter), use bytes.NewReader which is only a read entitiy
(io.Reader) in all cases where it is possible. Benchmarking shows it's
slightly faster and it's also technically more accurate since it ensures
the data is read-only.
There are a few cases where bytes.NewBuffer must still be used since a
buffer with a known length is required for those instances.
The genesis blocks are not really part of the wire protocol rather they
are part of a network parameters. Thus, this commit moves the all of the
gensis blocks and tests to the btcnet package.
Also, create variables in the test package for the mainnet genesis hash,
merkle root, and coinbase transaction for use throughout the tests since
they the exported values are no longer available.
- Group the new read/writeVarBytes functions together to be consistent
with the existing code
- Modify the comments on the new read/writeVarBytes to be a little more
descriptive and consistent with existing code
- Use "test payload" for field name in the tests for the
read/writeVarBytes functions which is more accurate
- Remove reserved param from NewAlert since there is no point is having
the caller deal with a reserved param
- Various comment tweaks for clarity and consistency
- Use camel case for fuction params for consistency
- Move the NewAlert and NewAlertFromPayload functions after the receiver
definitions for code layout consistency
Closes#11.
* Introduced common methods readVarBytes, writeVarBytes.
* Added type Alert which knows how to deserialize
the serialized payload and also serialize itself back.
* Updated MsgAlert BtcEncode/BtcDecode methods to handle the
new Alert.
* Sane limits are placed on variable length fields like SetCancel
and SetSubVer
- Coalesce the new bytes into the max message size constant to stay
consistent
- Correct optional relay tx field handling
- Rename the relay transactions field to DisableRelayTx so the zero value
of false has the correct default behavior
- Add tests for new bool fast paths in read/writeElement
- Stay consistent with version order in tests
- Add a single entry to TestVersionWire to test the new functionality
instead of adding a whole new TextVersionRelayTx function.
- Use BIP0037 in tests instead of hard coding 70001
- Nuke XXX that 70001 is different since this is handled now
- Fix and cleanup some comments
- Update test coverage report
This commit exports the VarIntSerializeSize function to provide callers
with an easy method to determine how many bytes it would take to serialize
the passed value as a variable length integer.
This commit adds tests to ensure the new "fast" paths in readElement and
writeElement work properly including proper fallback to the slower
reflection based read/write of the binary package.
This commit adds tests for the new SerializeSize functions for variable
length integers and transactions (and indirectly transaction inputs and
outputs).
