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 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
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 renames the Script type to Engine to better reflect its
purpose. It also renames the NewScript function to NewEngine to match.
This is being done because name Script for the engine is confusing since
it implies it is an actual script rather than the execution environment
for the script. It also paves the way for eventually supplying a
ParsedScript type which will be less likely to be confused with the
execution environment.
While moving the code, some additional variable names and comments have
been updated to better match the style used throughout the rest of the
code base. In addition, an attempt has been made to use consistent naming
of the engine as 'vm' instead of using different variables names as it was
previously.
Finally, the relevant engine code has been moved into a new file named
engine.go and related tests moved to engine_test.go.
This commit removes the unnecessary sigScript parameter from the
txscript.NewScript function. This has bothered me for a while because it
can and really should be obtained from the provided transaction and input
index. The way it was, the passed script could technically be different
than what is in the transaction. Obviously that would be an improper use
of the API, but it's safer and more convenient to simply pull it from the
provided transaction and index.
Also, since the function signature is changing anyways, make the input
index parameter come after the transaction which it references.
The ScriptVerifyLowS flag defines that script signatures must
comply with the DER format as well as have an S value less than
or equal to the half order.
The ScriptVerifyCleanStack flag requires that only a single
stack element remains after evaluation and that when interpreted
as a bool, it must be true. This is BIP0062, rule 6.
This mimics Bitcoin Core commit b6e03cc59208305681745ad06f2056ffe6690597
This change increases the maximum allowed bytes allowed in pushed
data to be considered a nulldata transaction. This matches the current
value the reference implementation uses by default.
By exporting StandardVerifyFlags, clients can ensure they create
transactions that btcd will accept into its mempool.
This flag doesn't belong in txscript. It belongs in a
policy package. However, this is currently the least worse place.
The ScriptVerifyMinimalData enforces that all push operations use the
minimal data push required. This is part of BIP0062.
This commit mimics Bitcoin Core commit
698c6abb25c1fbbc7fa4ba46b60e9f17d97332ef
Remove ScriptCanonicalSignatures and use the new
ScriptVerifyDERSignatures flag. The ScriptVerifyDERSignatures
flag accomplishes the same functionality.
This commit adds two new verification flags to txscript named
ScriptVerifyStrictEncoding and ScriptVerifyDerSignatures.
The ScriptVerifyStrictEncoding flag enforces signature scripts
and public keys to follow the strict encoding requirements.
The ScriptVerifyDerSignatures flag enforces signature scripts
to follow the strict encoding requirements.
These flags mimic Bitcoin Core's SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC and
SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG flags and brings the Bitcoin Core test scripts up
to date.
This commit contains the entire btcscript repository along with several
changes needed to move all of the files into the txscript directory in
order to prepare it for merging. This does NOT update btcd or any of the
other packages to use the new location as that will be done separately.
- All import paths in the old btcscript test files have been changed to the
new location
- All references to btcscript as the package name have been chagned to
txscript
This is ongoing work toward #214.
