1bea2bb Rename ProcessBlock to ProcessNewBlock to indicate change of behaviour, and document it (Luke Dashjr)
d29a291 Rename RPC_TRANSACTION_* errors to RPC_VERIFY_* and use RPC_VERIFY_ERROR for submitblock (Luke Dashjr)
f877aaa Bugfix: submitblock: Use a temporary CValidationState to determine accurately the outcome of ProcessBlock, now that it no longer does the full block validity check (Luke Dashjr)
24e8896 Add CValidationInterface::BlockChecked notification (Luke Dashjr)
85c579e script: add a slew of includes all around and drop includes from script.h (Cory Fields)
db8eb54 script: move ToString and ValueString out of the header (Cory Fields)
e9ca428 script: add ToByteVector() for converting anything with begin/end (Cory Fields)
066e2a1 script: move CScriptID to standard.h and add a ctor for creating them from CScripts (Cory Fields)
Many changes:
* Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree.
* Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a
limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is
disconnected.
* No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have
verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a
disk-fill attack would require PoW.
* Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010).
* No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during
initial *headers* sync).
* Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.
There is only one message passed to AbortNode() that makes sense to
translate to the user specifically: Disk space is low. For the others
show a generic message and refer to debug.log for details.
Reduces the number of confusing jargon translation messages.
There is no reason to store thousands of orphan transactions;
normally an orphan's parents will either be broadcast or
mined reasonably quickly.
This pull drops the maximum number of orphans from 10,000 down
to 100, and adds a command-line option (-maxorphantx) that is
just like -maxorphanblocks to override the default.
Thanks to Pieter Wuille for most of the work on this commit.
I did not fixup the overhaul commit, because a rebase conflicted
with "remove fields of ser_streamplaceholder".
I prefer not to risk making a mistake while resolving it.
The implementation of each class' serialization/deserialization is no longer
passed within a macro. The implementation now lies within a template of form:
template <typename T, typename Stream, typename Operation>
inline static size_t SerializationOp(T thisPtr, Stream& s, Operation ser_action, int nType, int nVersion) {
size_t nSerSize = 0;
/* CODE */
return nSerSize;
}
In cases when codepath should depend on whether or not we are just deserializing
(old fGetSize, fWrite, fRead flags) an additional clause can be used:
bool fRead = boost::is_same<Operation, CSerActionUnserialize>();
The IMPLEMENT_SERIALIZE macro will now be a freestanding clause added within
class' body (similiar to Qt's Q_OBJECT) to implement GetSerializeSize,
Serialize and Unserialize. These are now wrappers around
the "SerializationOp" template.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Bypassing the main coins cache allows more thorough checking with the same
memory budget.
This has no effect on performance because everything ends up in the child
cache created by VerifyDB itself.
It has bugged me ever since #4675, which effectively reduced the
number of checked blocks to reduce peak memory usage.
- Pass the coinsview to use as argument to VerifyDB
- This also avoids that the first `pcoinsTip->Flush()` after VerifyDB
writes a large slew of unchanged coin records back to the database.
