This commit adds code to properly respond to getdata requests for
transactions by fetching them from the transaction pool. Previously, we
advertised newly available transactions, but the code to respond with the
actual transaction was not written yet.
Also, fix a couple of comments and make the pushTxMsg and pushBlockMsg
functions consistent.
This commit adds a quick check to the transaction store fetch code which
simply returns an empty store if no hashes were requested rather than
bothering the db with an empty list.
This commit is a first pass at improving the logging. It changes a number
of things to improve the readability of the output. The biggest addition
is message summaries for each message type when using the debug logging
level.
There is sitll more to do here such as allowing the level of each
subsystem to be independently specified, syslog support, and allowing the
logging level to be changed run-time.
This commit modifies the transaction lookup code to use a set instead of a
slice (list). This allows the lookup to automatically prevent duplicate
requests to the database.
Previously, the code simply added every referenced transaction to a list
without checking for duplicates, which led to multiple requests against
the database for the same transaction. It also meant the request list
could grow quite large with all of the duplicates using far more memory
than required.
While the end result was accurate, operating that way is not as efficient
as only requesting unique transactions.
This commit provides a new flag, --nocheckpoints, to disable built-in
checkpoints.
Checkpoints are used for a number of things such a ensuring
the block chain being downloaded matches various known good blocks,
allowing quicker verification on old blocks since scripts don't have to be
executed, and preventing forks from old blocks, etc.
This commit implents a basic infrastructure to be used throughout the
tests for creating a new chain instance that is ready to have tests run
against it. It also returns a teardown function the caller can use to
clean up after it is done testing. This paves the way for adding more
tests.
The stack data is normally sliced from the actual script and btcscript is not
supposed to ever change the tx passed into it.
Add a test (and fix the other leading zeros tests) to stop this happening again.
The block manager handles inventory messges to know which inventory should
be requested based on what is already known and what is already in flight.
So, this commit adds logic to ask the transaction memory pool if the
transaction is already known before requesting it and tracks pending
requests into an in-flight transaction map owned by the block manager.
It also moves the transaction processing into the block manager so the
in-flight map can be properly cleaned.
This commit changes the InvVect_* constants, which are not standard Go
style, to the InvType*. In order to preserve backwards compatibility, it
also adds a legacy.go file which maps the old public constant names to the
new ones.
Closes#1.
The original thought was that chain would also house the transaction
memory pool, but that ultimately was decided against. As a result,
it only makes sense to query chain for blocks rather than generic
inventory.
So add entries for them that disassemble and parse ok, but will fail
when executed with the appropriate error. Add a full suite of tests to confirm
that this happens.
Found by a strange transaction in testnet.
