864cd2787 Move CBitcoinAddress to base58.cpp (Pieter Wuille)
5c8ff0d44 Introduce wrappers around CBitcoinAddress (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type `CBitcoinAddress`, by providing {`Encode`,`Decode`,`IsValid`}`Destination` functions that directly operate on the conversion between `std::string`s and `CTxDestination`.
As a side, it also fixes a number of indentation issues, and removes probably several unnecessary implicit `CTxDestination`<->`CBitcoinAddress` conversions.
This change is far from complete. In follow-ups I'd like to:
* Split off the specific address and key encoding logic from base58.h, and move it to a address.h or so.
* Replace `CTxDestination` with a non-`boost::variant` version (which can be more efficient as `boost::variant` allocates everything on the heap, and remove the need for `boost::get<...>` and `IsValidDestination` calls everywhere).
* Do the same for `CBitcoinSecret`, `CBitcoinExtKey`, and `CBitcoinExtPubKey`.
However, I've tried to keep this patch to be minimally invasive, but still enough to support non-Base58 addresses. Perhaps a smaller patch is possible to hack Bech32 support into `CBitcoinAddress`, but I would consider that a move in the wrong direction.

eac64bb7a [qa] Test nMinimumChainWork (Suhas Daftuar)
0311836f6 Allow setting nMinimumChainWork on command line (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
As discussed briefly here: https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-core-dev/2017-02-28/?msg=81712308&page=4
This adds a hidden command line option for setting `nMinimumChainWork`, which allows us to test this parameter in our functional tests, as well as allowing for niche use cases like syncing nodes that are otherwise disconnected from the network.
See also #10345, which proposes a new use of `nMinimumChainWork`.

`make` rebuilds the entire project. This is quite slow if e.g. you're making changes to one file and only wish to run the bitcoind tests.
This commit adds an instruction to run `make -C src/test` (as opposed to `make src/test` and `make src/test/test_bitcoin`).
In this test, `nTime` is used for all the calls to `Mine()`, each time being set to the correct time beforehand, except for in the last few calls to `Mine()` where `nStartTime` is used directly, even though `nTime` is still set to `nStartTime` beforehand. `nTime` just remains unused for these last few calls to `Mine()`.
Changed the last few calls to `Mine()` to use `nTime` instead, improving consistency. This also fixes an unused value static analyzer warning about `nTime` being set to a value which is never used.

90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

eda888e Fix some LoadChainTip-related init-order bugs. (Matt Corallo)
Pull request description:
This does a number of things to clean up chainstate init order,
fixing some issues as it goes:
* Order chainstate init more logically - first all of the
blocktree-related loading, then coinsdb, then
pcoinsTip/chainActive. Only create objects as needed.
* More clearly document exactly what is and isn't called in
-reindex and -reindex-chainstate both with comments noting
calls as no-ops and by adding if guards.
* Move the writing of fTxIndex to LoadBlockIndex - this fixes a
bug introduced in d6af06d68a where
InitBlockIndex was writing to fTxIndex which had not yet been
checked (because LoadChainTip hadn't yet initialized the
chainActive, which would otherwise have resulted in
InitBlockIndex being a NOP), allowing you to modify -txindex
without reindex, potentially corrupting your chainstate!
* Rename InitBlockIndex to LoadGenesisBlock, which is now a more
natural name for it. Also check mapBlockIndex instead of
chainActive, fixing a bug where we'd write the genesis block out
on every start.
* Move LoadGenesisBlock further down in init. This is a more logical
location for it, as it is after all of the blockindex-related
loading and checking, but before any of the UTXO-related loading
and checking.
* Give LoadChainTip a return value - allowing it to indicate that
the UTXO DB ran ahead of the block DB. This just provides a nicer
error message instead of the previous mysterious
assert(!setBlockIndexCandidates.empty()) error.
* Calls ActivateBestChain in case we just loaded the genesis
block in LoadChainTip, avoiding relying on the ActivateBestChain
in ThreadImport before continuing init process.
* Move all of the VerifyDB()-related stuff into a -reindex +
-reindex-chainstate if guard. It couldn't do anything useful
as chainActive.Tip() would be null at this point anyway.

Pull request description:
This adds an SSE4 assembly version of the SHA256 transform by Intel, and uses it at run time if SSE4 instructions are available, and use a fallback C++ implementation otherwise. Nearly every x86_64 CPU supports SSE4. The feature is only enabled when compiled with `--enable-experimental-asm`.
In order to avoid build dependencies and other complications, the original Intel YASM code was translated to GCC extended asm syntax.
This gives around a 50% speedup on the SHA256 benchmark for me.
It is based on an earlier patch by @laanwj, though only includes a single assembly version (for now), and removes the YASM dependency.

This redefines dust to be the value of an output such that it would
cost that value in fees to (create and) spend the output at the dust
relay rate. The previous definition was that it would cost 1/3 of the
value. The default dust relay rate is correspondingly increased to
3000 sat/kB so the actual default dust output value of 546 satoshis
for a non-segwit output remains unchanged. This commit is a refactor
only unless a dustrelayfee is passed on the commandline in which case
that number now needs to be increased by a factor of 3 to get the same
behavior. -dustrelayfee is a hidden command line option.
Note: It's not exactly a refactor due to edge case changes in rounding
as evidenced by the required change to the unit test.

Pull request description:
This builds on #10589 (first 5 commits from that PR, last 5 commits are new)
The first couple commits refactor to use the CCoinControl class to pass fee calculation parameters around.
This allows for fixing the buggy interaction in QT between the global payTxFee which can be modified by the RPC call settxfee or temporarily modified by the QT custom fee settings. Before these changes the GUI could sometimes send a transaction with a recently set payTxFee and not respect the settings displayed in the GUI. After these changes, using the GUI does not involve the global transaction confirm target or payTxFee.
The prospective fee displays in the smart fee slider and the coin control dialog are changed to use the fee calculation from GetMinimumFee, this simplifies the code and makes them slightly more correct in edge cases.
Maxing the fee calculation with the mempool min fee is move from estimateSmartFee to GetMinimumFee.
This fixes a long standing bug, and should be tagged for 0.15 as it is holding up finalizing the estimatesmartfee RPC API before release.

Pull request description:
bitcoin-cli's `-rpcconnect` can accept ipv6 addresses (as long as the libevent version is new enough), but fails to parse ipv6 with square brackets. This PR makes `bitcoin-cli` parse ipv6 in square brackets correctly.
`bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=[::1] <command>`
should now be equivalent to
`bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=::1 <command>`
This is useful so the `bitcoin-cli` option can now be in the same format as the `bitcoind` option.

This check has been moved to the wallet logic GetMinimumFee. The rpc call to

Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.
That OP_NOP10 is the last executable opcode is a bit of a obscure trivia, and the MAX_OPCODE constant already exists. This merely standardizes use of MAX_OPCODE over OP_NOP10 where it makes sense and is more clear.

Note that the CScheduler thread cant be running at this point,
it has already been stopped with the rest of the init threadgroup.
Thus, just calling any remaining loose callbacks during Shutdown()
is sane.
Check that cached script execution results are only valid for the same
script flags; that script execution checks are returned for non-cached
transactions; and that cached results are only valid for transactions
with the same witness hash.
This removes the possibility for GetCoin/HaveCoin/HaveCoinInCache to return
true while the respective coin is spent. By doing it across all calls, some
extra checks can be eliminated.
coins_tests is modified to call HaveCoin sometimes before and sometimes
after AccessCoin. A further change is needed because the semantics for
GetCoin slightly changed, causing a pruned entry in the parent cache to not
be pulled into the child in FetchCoin.

Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
In order to prevent mixups, our internal range is never allowed as a resolve
result. This means that no user-provided string will ever be confused with an
internal address.
We currently do two resolves for dns seeds: one for the results, and one to
serve in addrman as the source for those addresses.
There's no requirement that the source hostname resolves to the stored
identifier, only that the mapping is unique. So rather than incurring the
second lookup, combine a private subnet with a hash of the hostname.
The resulting v6 ip is guaranteed not to be publicy routable, and has only a
negligible chance of colliding with a user's internal network (which would be
of no consequence anyway).

This adds a new CuckooCache in validation, caching whether all of a
transaction's scripts were valid with a given set of script flags.
Unlike previous attempts at caching an entire transaction's
validity, which have nearly universally introduced consensus
failures, this only caches the validity of a transaction's
scriptSigs. As these are pure functions of the transaction and
data it commits to, this should be much safer.
This is somewhat duplicative with the sigcache, as entries in the
new cache will also have several entries in the sigcache. However,
the sigcache is kept both as ATMP relies on it and because it
prevents malleability-based DoS attacks on the new higher-level
cache. Instead, the -sigcachesize option is re-used - cutting the
sigcache size in half and using the newly freed memory for the
script execution cache.
Transactions which match the script execution cache never even have
entries in the script check thread's workqueue created.
Note that the cache is indexed only on the script execution flags
and the transaction's witness hash. While this is sufficient to
make the CScriptCheck() calls pure functions, this introduces
dependancies on the mempool calculating things such as the
PrecomputedTransactionData object, filling the CCoinsViewCache, etc
in the exact same way as ConnectBlock. I belive this is a reasonable
assumption, but should be noted carefully.
In a rather naive benchmark (reindex-chainstate up to block 284k
with cuckoocache always returning true for contains(),
-assumevalid=0 and a very large dbcache), this connected blocks
~1.7x faster.
