This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
The earlier CTxInUndo class now holds the same information as the Coin
class. Instead of duplicating functionality, replace CTxInUndo with a
serialization adapter for Coin.
This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
before.
This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.
Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.
The error() function unconditionally reports an error. It should only
be used for actually exception situations, and not for the type of
inconsistencies that ApplyTxInUndo/DisconnectBlock can graciously deal
with.
This also makes a subtle semantics change: in ApplyTxInUndo, when a
record with metadata is encountered (indicating it is the last spend
from a tx), don't wipe the CCoins record if it wasn't empty at that
point. This makes sure that UTXO operations never affect any other
UTXOs (including those from the same tx).

We were marking coins FRESH before being sure they were not overwriting dirty undo data. This condition was never reached in existing code because undo data was always flushed before UpdateCoins was called with new transactions, but could have been exposed in an otherwise safe refactor.
Clarify in the comments the assumptions made in ModifyNewCoins.
Add ability to undo transactions to UpdateCoins unit test.
Thanks to Russ Yanofsky for suggestion on how to make logic clearer and fixing up the ccoins_modify_new test cases.
Add more comprehensive unit tests for CCoinsViewCache. Right now it is hard to
refactor caching code or fix bugs in the caching logic because you have to try
to mentally enumerate all the different states the cache might be in to make
sure a change doesn't cause unintended consequences. The new tests explicitly
enumerate relevant cache states, documenting and verifying the behavior in each
state, so it will be safer and easier to make changes to the caching code in
the future.
There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.
Add a method Cursor() to CCoinsView that returns a cursor which can be
used to iterate over the whole UTXO set.
- rpc: Change gettxoutsetinfo to use new Cursor method
- txdb: Remove GetStats method - Now that GetStats is implemented in
terms of Cursor, remove it.
Previously it would break if you flushed a parent cache while there was a child cache referring to it. This change will allow the flushing of parent caches.
Make sure that chainparams and logging is properly initialized. Doing
this for every test may be overkill, but this initialization is so
simple that that does not matter.
This should fix the travis issues.
