This allows clients watching for both to know when all mined
transaction notifications for the block have been received.
Otherwise, clients would be aware that there is a new block, see the
exact same block hash/height in the next tx notifications, but never
know when all txs from the block have been received and processed.
This fixes a synchronization issue in btcwallet where the wallet would
mark itself synced to some block height before any of those blocks'
transactions were processed. If the RPC connection is lost between
sending the blockconnected notification and receiving the last
transaction notification, the wallet would not know of this and
continue with missing transactions.
The configured onion proxy was not being used due to checking if the
passed string had suffix '.onion', which never matched because the
port number is part of the string.
This commit adds an additional step to the README.md install section to
run the go version command and check the version so people that are
installing it for the first time and ensure they are running a high
enough version and have GOROOT and GOPATH set correctly.
This commit corrects an issue where the reject message sent in response
to rejected transactions had the Cmd field set to "block" instead of
"tx".
Fixes#436.
Tor stream isolation randomizes proxy user credentials resulting in
Tor creating a new circuit for each connection. This makes it more
difficult to correlate connections.
Idea from Wladimir J. van der Laan via Bitcoin Core.
The option -maxorphantx allows the user to specify the number of
orphan transactions to keep in memory.
Also, lower the default max orphan count from 10000 to 1000.
This commit refactors the consensus rule checks for block headers and
blocks in the blockchain package into separate functions. These changes
contain no modifications to consensus rules and the code still passes all
block consensus tests. It is only a refactoring.
This is being done to help pave the way toward supporting concurrent
downloads. While the package already supports headers-first mode up
through the latest checkpoint through the use of the BFFastAdd flag and
hard-coded checkpoints, it currently only works when downloading from a
single peer. In order to support concurrent downloads from multiple
peers, the ability for the caller to do things such as independently
checking a block header (both context-free and full-context checks) will
be needed.
There are several more changes that will be necessary to support
concurrent downloads as well, such as making the package concurrent safe,
modifying it to make use of the new database API, etc. Those changes are
planned for future commits.
The following changes were made to ListTransactionsResult (which
models the long result format used by listtransactions,
listsinceblock, etc.):
- Fee made optional (float64 -> *float64 + omitempty)
- BlockIndex made optional (int64 + omitempty -> *int64 + omitempty)
- InvolvesWatchOnly added (bool + omitempty)
- Vout added (uint32)
The following changes were made to GetTransactionDetailsResult (which
models the short result format of listtransactions):
- InvolvesWatchOnly added (bool + omitempty)
- Fee added (*float64 + omitempty)
- Vout added (uint32)
The combination of pointer types and the omitempty struct tag allow
excluding the field from the JSON object, or including it with the
zero value. This is useful in particular for the fee fields, which
should be included whenever the category is "send" even if the fee is
zero. Other optional fields which are only added to the result object
with non-zero values (such as includeswatchonly) can be reduced to
simply an omitempty tag without the pointer type.
This commit contains fixes from the results of a thorough audit of
txscript to find any cases of script evaluation which doesn't match the
required consensus behavior. These conditions are fairly obscure and
highly unlikely to happen in any real scripts, but they could have
nevertheless been used by a clever attacker with malicious intent to
cause a fork.
Test cases which exercise these conditions have been added to the
reference tests and will contributed upstream to improve the quality for
the entire ecosystem.
Unlike OP_IF and OP_NOTIF which interpret the top stack item as a
number, OP_IFDUP interprets it as a boolean. This has important
consequences because numbers are imited to int32s while booleans can be
an arbitrary number of bytes.
The offending script was found and reported by Jonas Nick through the
use of fuzzing.
Create GenerateCmd in btcjson v2. Update tests to check GenerateCmd.

- Move reference tests to test package since they are intended to
exercise the engine as callers would
- Improve the short form script parsing to allow additional opcodes:
DATA_#, OP_#, FALSE, TRUE
- Make use of a function to decode hex strings rather than manually
defining byte slices
- Update the tests to make use of the short form script parsing logic
rather than manually defining byte slices
- Consistently replace all []byte{} and [][]byte{} with nil
- Define tests only used in a specific function inside that func
- Move invalid flag combination test to engine_test since that is what
it is testing
- Remove all redundant script tests in favor of the JSON-based tests in
the data directory.
- Move several functions from internal_test.go to the test files
associated with what the tests are checking
This commit moves all code related to standard scripts into a separate
file named standard.go as well as the associated tests into
standard_test.go. Since the code in address.go and address_test.go is
only related to standard scripts, it has been combined into the new
files and the old files deleted.
The intent here is to make it clear that the code in standard.go is not
related to consensus.
This commit implements a new type, named scriptNum, for handling all
numeric values used in scripts and converts the code over to make use of
it. This is being done for a few of reasons.
First, the consensus rules for handling numeric values in the scripts
require special handling with subtle semantics. By encapsulating those
details into a type specifically dedicated to that purpose, it
simplifies the code and generally helps prevent improper usage.
Second, the new type is quite a bit more efficient than big.Ints which
are designed to be arbitrarily large and thus involve a lot of heap
allocations and additional multi-precision bookkeeping. Because this
new type is based on an int64, it allows the numbers to be stack
allocated thereby eliminating a lot of GC and also eliminates the extra
multi-precision arithmetic bookkeeping.
The use of an int64 is possible because the consensus rules dictate that
when data is interpreted as a number, it is limited to an int32 even
though results outside of this range are allowed so long as they are not
interpreted as integers again themselves. Thus, the maximum possible
result comes from multiplying a max int32 by itself which safely fits
into an int64 and can then still appropriately provide the serialization
of the larger number as required by consensus.
Finally, it more closely resembles the implementation used by Bitcoin
Core and thus makes is easier to compare the behavior between the two
implementations.
This commit also includes a full suite of tests with 100% coverage of
the semantics of the new type.
This commit contains a lot of cleanup on the txscript code to make it
more consistent with the code throughout the rest of the project. It
doesn't change any operational logic.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Add a significant number of comments throughout in order to better
explain what the code is doing
- Fix several comment typos
- Move a couple of constants only used by the engine to engine.go
- Move a variable only used by the engine to engine.go
- Fix a couple of format specifiers in the test prints
- Reorder functions so they're defined before/closer to use
- Make the code lint clean with the exception of the opcode definitions
- Remove all redundant opcode tests in favor of the JSON-based tests
in the data directory.
- Remove duplicate stack nip test
- Add new tests to data/script_invalid.json to exercise additional
negative error paths
- Remove old unneeded pubkey trace code from opcodeCheckSig
- Simplify and improve the disassembly print function
- Add new tests to directly test all individual opcode disassembly
- Add new tests to directly test opcode disabled function which does not
get invoked during ordinary execution
- Improve test coverage of opcode.go
This commit moves the opcode execution logic from the opcode type to the
engine type because execution of an opcode modifies the engine state
(primarily the main and alternate data stacks) as opposed to the state
of the opcode. Making the engine the receiver more clearly indicates
this fact.
This commit very slightly optimizes the cryptographic hashing performed
by the script opcodes by calling the hash sum routines directly (for
those that support it) rather than allocating a new generic hash.Hash
hasher instance for them.
This commit unexports the Stack type since it is only intended to be
used internally during script execution. Further, the engine exposes
the {G,S}etStack and {G,S}etAltStack functions which return the items as
a slice of byte slices ([][]byte) for caller access while stepping.
* The cases for the 'addnode' command were previously
stacked on top the new cases for the 'node' command.
The intended behavior was to create a fall through and
handle both commands. However, trying to use this
syntax with a type switch caused the first case to be
ignored.
* addnode' specific functions and structs in the server
have been removed. Instead, the 'add' and 'del' subcommands
are now proxied to the matching 'node' cmd functions.
This commit removes the NewOutPointFromWire function from the btcjson
version 2 package so it can be used without needing the wire package as a
dependency. It also updates the test accordingly.
This results in the package only depending on core Go packages.
Closes#401.
This commit improves the way the conditional execution stack is handled in
a few ways.
First, the current execution state is now pushed onto the end of the slice
rather than the front of it. This has been done because it results in
fewer allocations and is therefore more efficient.
Second, the need for allocating and setting an initial true in the
conditional stack has been eliminated. The vast majority of scripts don't
contain any conditionals, so there is no reason to allocate a slice when
it isn't needed.
Third, a new function has been added to the engine to determine if the
current conditional branch is executing named isBranchExecuting which
handles the fact the conditional execution stack can now be empty and
improves the readability of the code.
Finally, it removes a couple of TODOs which I have verified do not apply.
This commit exports a new map named OpcodeByName which can be used to
lookup an opcode value given a human-readable opcode name.
It also modifies the test function which does short form parsing to use
the new map instead of the internal array.
Closes#267.
This commit converts the opcode map to an array to improve performance.
Benchmark of executing a standard p2pk transaction:
New: BenchmarkExecute 2000 784349 ns/op
Old: BenchmarkExecute 2000 792600 ns/op
The time is dominated by the signature checking as expected, however there
is still an increase in speed.
This commit modifies the definition of the opcodes to their hex
counterparts rather than decimal since it is far more common to see
scripts in hex. This makes it easier when manually looking at script
dumps to correlate opcodes. However, since there are also cases where it
is useful to see the decimal value of the opcode, the decimal value has
been left as a comment. Obviously converting the numbers is trivial, but
it is handy when looking at the opcode definitions to already have it
there.
In addition, it syncs the opcodes with the latest Bitcoin Core internal
opcodes for completeness and modifies the tests accordingly.
Rather than storing a separate bool for whether or not each flag is set in
every script engine instance, store the flags and check if the relevant
flag is set from each specific location.
This reduces the memory needed by each script engine instance and means
future flags will not require new fields.
