This commit makes use of the new btcutil.AppDataDir function which chooses
appropriate data directories for each supported operating system. It also
adds code to the upgrade path to properly migrate existing data from the
old to new locations.
This is part of work toward issue #30.
This commit modifies the tests to setup a chain instance backed by the new
memory database backend for btcdb. This allows the tests to avoid
creating and cleaning up files and also allows the tests to run faster
since it can all happen in memory.
The chainSetup function has also been changed to provide logic to switch
on the database type to allow for easy changing of the backend to a
different database type as needed. For example, it could be useful to
provide extra testing against new database backends.
This commit adds a new backend driver which conforms to the btcdb
interface to provide a memory only database. This is primarily useful for
testing purposes as normal operations require a persistent block storage
mechanism.
Rather than defining CheckBlockSanity as a member of a BlockChain
instance, define it at the root level so it is truly context free as
intended. In order to make it context free, the proof of work limit is
now a required parameter.
This change reworks where the command parsing occurs to be done before
handlers are checked. Before, the websocket extension handler called
the standard handler with the same message, and if it was unhandled,
would unmarshal it a second time for checking extension handlers.
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 modifies the writeElement function to have a "fast path" which uses type
assertions for all of the types which btcwire write so the more expensive
reflection-based binary.Write can be avoided.
Also, this changes all cases that were writing raw ShaHash (32-byte) arrays (which
requires a stack copy) instead simply passing the pointer.

persistentpeers and outbound(nonpersistent) peers get their own lists,
so iterating over them can be much simpler (and quicker when you have
125 peer of which 8 are outbound).
Redo the datastructures we search so that we only do one lookup per txin and
txout instead of doing a loop per wallet connection.
Don't send spent data on tx notifications, this can be worked out in wallet and
it is expensiveish to calculate. However we DO check upon getting a notification
request if the output is already spent, and in which case we send an immediate
notification to force a rescan.
MinedTxNotfications are handled separately to the connected block messages
largely to enable this to scale rather better.
Tested by jrick (who found one bug i had introduced, thanks!)
Additionally (accidentally squashed in):
Add handlers for all known commands.
We have handlers for all wallet-requiring commands that will return a suitable
error.
Unimplemented commands temporarily return an error stating so.
