This commits removes a number of golint warnings. There is a class of
warnings which I can't fix due to unsufficient knowledge of the domain
at this point. These are listed here:

The hex package requires an even number of characters in hex encoded
strings. Some of the handlers already prepended a zero if necessary to
make this condition true, however other did not. This commit extends this
functionality to all handlers and also makes the error return consistent.
ok @jrick
This commit creates and exports a new constant, MaxTimeOffsetSeconds,
which is the maximum number of seconds a block timestamp is allowed to be
ahead of the current time.
Previously this value was hard coded into the consensus rule path, however
it is useful better to have it defined as a constant and exported so other
callers can access it.
No consensus rules have been changed with this commit.
This commit adds a new behavior flag, BFDryRun which allows the caller
to indicate all checks should be performed against the block as normal
except it will not modify any state. This is useful to test that a block
is valid without actually modifying the current chain or memory state.
This commit also adds a few additional checks which were elided before
since they are implicitly handled by btcwire. However, with the ability
to propose blocks which didn't necessarily come through the btcwire path,
these checks need to be enforced in the chain code as well.
As a part of adding the checks, three new error codes named
ErrBlockTooBig, ErrTooManyTransactions, and ErrTxTooBig have been
introduced.
Closes#5.
This commit adds a new function named SerializeSize to the public API for
MsgBlock which can be used to determine how many bytes the serialized data would
take without having to actually serialize it. In addition, it makes the
exported BlockVersion an untyped constant as well as changes the block and
tx versions to a signed integer to more closely match the protocol.
Finally, this commit also adds tests for the new function.
The following benchmark shows the difference between using the new
function to get the serialize size for a typical block and serializing
into a temporary buffer and taking the length of it:
Bufffer: BenchmarkBlockSerializeSizeBuffer 200000 27050 ns/op
New: BenchmarkBlockSerializeSizeNew 100000000 34 ns/op
Closes#19.
There are certain cases such as getblocktemplate which allow external
callers to be repsonsible for creating their own coinbase to replace the
generated one. By allowing the pay address to be nil in such cases, the
need to specify mining addresses via --miningaddr can be avoided thereby
leaving the payment address management up to the caller.
This commit adds a new result type for the getblocktemplate RPC which
provides the fields as defined by BIP0022. The extension fields defined
by BIP0023 are not included yet.
ok @jcvernaleo
BIP0022 defines optional fields in a getblocktemplate request for long
polling and template tweaking.
In addition, for template tweaking, there are two fields, sigoplimit and
sizelimit, which are atypical in that they are allowed to be either
booleans or numeric. This requires the fields to be represented as
interfaces which means any code making use of the struct will need to use
type assertions or a type switch.
This commit updates GetBlockTemplateCmd accordingly.
ok @jcvernaleo
This commit modifies the RPC server such that all handlers now receive a
channel which will be notified when a client disconnects. This
notification can then be used to stop long-running operations early when a
client disconnects.
This capability was already present for websocket clients, but this commit
exposes it to standard HTTP clients as well.
This commit modifies the error return type for errors during script
validation to use the RuleError so they are consistent with the rest of
the errors. This also helps the calling code differentiate blocks
rejected due to script parsing and validation errors as opposed to
internal issues such as inability to read from the disk.
To accomplish this, two new two new RuleErrors, ErrScriptMalformed and
ErrScriptValidation, have been added.
Also, the errors for script parsing issues and script validation errors
have been improved to include both transaction hashes and indexes involved
in the validation effort. Previously script parsing issues had almost no
additional information as to which transaction input/outputs the failing
script came from.
The string needs to be unmarshaled rather than returned directly otherwise
it will have an extra set of quotes plus it's safter to properly unmarshal
it.
Pointed out by @jrick.
The submitblock RPC returns a string containing an error if it failed for
any reason. This comment detects a non-null return from submitblock and
converts that string to an error which is returned.
This commit adds a new behavior flag, BFNoPoWCheck which allows the caller
to indicate the check which ensures a block hashes to a value less than
required target should not be performed.
This commit change the ProcessBlock function to accept a new type named
BehaviorFlags in place of the current fastAdd parameter.
This has been done to pave the way for adding more control over the checks
that are performed such as avoiding the proof of work checks which will be
in an upcoming commit. A bitmask was chosen because it will allow the
ProcessBlock API to remain a little more stable since new flag additions
that change the behavior are only likely to be used by new code because
adding flags does not change the existing behavior.
ok @jrick
This commit modifies the TLS setup to only override the RootCAs for the
TLS connection if certificates are specified. This allows the
Certificates parameter to be ommitted from the connection config to use
the system CAs.
Now that the ProcessBlock function returns whether or not the block was an
orphan, the code which requests the parent blocks from the peer that sent
them has been moved to directly after the call to it.
This makes the handling more obvious and has allowed removal of the
blockPeer map which was kept so the notification handler could identify
which peer to request the blocks from.
ok @jrick
