This modifies the NewMsgTx function to accept the transaction version as
a parameter and updates all callers.
The reason for this change is so the transaction version can be bumped
in wire without breaking existing tests and to provide the caller with
the flexibility to create the specific transaction version they desire.
This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
This modifies the peer package to add support for the sendheaders
protocol message introduced by BIP0030.
NOTE: This does not add support to btcd itself. That requires the server
and sync code to make use of the new functionality exposed by these
changes. As a result, btcd will still be using protocol version 70011.
This commit does not change functionality. It makes the creation of inbound and outbound peers more homogeneous. As a result the Start method of peer was removed as it was found not to be necessary. This is the first of several pull requests/commits designed to make the peer public API and internals less complex.
Fixes a rare hang during peer tests due to the same connection being
used for different outbound peers. Also fixed passing a chan to
QueueMessage(..) which was not being waited on, so was not being used.
This commit introduces package peer which contains peer related features
refactored from peer.go.
The following is an overview of the features the package provides:
- Provides a basic concurrent safe bitcoin peer for handling bitcoin
communications via the peer-to-peer protocol
- Full duplex reading and writing of bitcoin protocol messages
- Automatic handling of the initial handshake process including protocol
version negotiation
- Automatic periodic keep-alive pinging and pong responses
- Asynchronous message queueing of outbound messages with optional
channel for notification when the message is actually sent
- Inventory message batching and send trickling with known inventory
detection and avoidance
- Ability to wait for shutdown/disconnect
- Flexible peer configuration
- Caller is responsible for creating outgoing connections and listening
for incoming connections so they have flexibility to establish
connections as they see fit (proxies, etc.)
- User agent name and version
- Bitcoin network
- Service support signalling (full nodes, bloom filters, etc.)
- Maximum supported protocol version
- Ability to register callbacks for handling bitcoin protocol messages
- Proper handling of bloom filter related commands when the caller does
not specify the related flag to signal support
- Disconnects the peer when the protocol version is high enough
- Does not invoke the related callbacks for older protocol versions
- Snapshottable peer statistics such as the total number of bytes read
and written, the remote address, user agent, and negotiated protocol
version
- Helper functions for pushing addresses, getblocks, getheaders, and
reject messages
- These could all be sent manually via the standard message output
function, but the helpers provide additional nice functionality such
as duplicate filtering and address randomization
- Full documentation with example usage
- Test coverage
In addition to the addition of the new package, btcd has been refactored
to make use of the new package by extending the basic peer it provides to
work with the blockmanager and server to act as a full node. The
following is a broad overview of the changes to integrate the package:
- The server is responsible for all connection management including
persistent peers and banning
- Callbacks for all messages that are required to implement a full node
are registered
- Logic necessary to serve data and behave as a full node is now in the
callback registered with the peer
Finally, the following peer-related things have been improved as a part
of this refactor:
- Don't log or send reject message due to peer disconnects
- Remove trace logs that aren't particularly helpful
- Finish an old TODO to switch the queue WaitGroup over to a channel
- Improve various comments and fix some code consistency cases
- Improve a few logging bits
- Implement a most-recently-used nonce tracking for detecting self
connections and generate a unique nonce for each peer
