This changes the block processing logic from "try to atomically switch
to a new block" to a continuous "(dis)connect a block, aiming for the
assumed best chain".
This means the smallest atomic operations on the chainstate become
individual block connections or disconnections, instead of entire
reorganizations. It may mean that we try to reorganize to one block,
fail, and rereorganize again to the old block. This is slower, but
doesn't require unbounded RAM.
It also means that a ConnectBlock which fails may be no longer called
from the ProcessBlock which knows which node sent it. To deal with that,
a mapBlockSource is kept, and invalid blocks cause asynchronous "reject"
messages and banning (if necessary).
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
Allow running bitcoind without server.
- Default to -server mode (of course) for bitcoind with SoftSetBoolArg
- Remove fForceServer argument from AppInit2
- Move fDaemon to a static variable in bitcoind

When a InitError or InitWarning happens, the
GUI pops up but is unusable (until Init finishes).
This is caused by showNormalIfMinimized. Add a message
flag to skip this call for Init errors or warnings.
Seperate out the wallet options in HelpMessage, and
don't show them if compiled with --disable-wallet.
Also add documentation for `-disablewallet` option.
`-logtodebugger` is a strange, obscure, WIN32-only (mostly MSVC) thing.
Let's clean up the options a bit get rid of it.
test_bitcoin was using fLogToDebugger as a way to prevent logging to
debug.log. For this, add a boolean (not exposed as option) fLogToDebugLog that
defaults to true and is disabled in the tests.
The following mining-related RPC calls don't use the wallet:
- getnetworkhashps
- getmininginfo
- getblocktemplate
- submitblock
Enable them when compiling with --disable-wallet.
Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cli
(leveldb, berkelydb, wallet, RPC server)
Build system changes:
- split libbitcoin.a into libbitcoin_common.a, libbitcoin_server.a and
libbitcoin_cli.a
Code changes (movement only):
- split up HelpMessage into HelpMessage in init.cpp and HelpMessageCli
in rpcclient.cpp
- move uiInterface from init.cpp to util.cpp
Split bitcoinrpc up into
- rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server
- rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client
- rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code
One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest
of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to
be linked against leveldb.
This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
I'm writing some wallet regression tests using -regtest mode, and
need to generate an initial multi-hundred-block chain. Repeatedly
calling setgenerate to generate one block is slow and doesn't
work properly, because block creation happens asynchronously.
This adds two features to setgenerate in -regtest mode:
1) Instead of being interpreted as number of threads to start, the
third argument is the number of blocks to generate.
2) setgenerate will not return until the block creation threads
have created the requested number of blocks.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
- re-work -debug help message text
- make -debug log every debugging information again (even all categories)
- remove unneeded fDebug checks in front of LogPrint()/qDebug(), as that
check is done in LogPrintf() when category is != NULL (true for all
LogPrint() calls
- remove fDebug ONLY in code which is NOT performance-critical
- harmonize addrman category name
- deprecate -debugnet usage, should be used via -debug=net and remove the
corresponding global
This adds an executable `bitcoin-rpc` that only serves as a Bitcoin RPC
client.
The commit does not remove RPC functionality from the `bitcoind` yet,
this functionality should be deprecated but is left for a later version
to give users some time to switch.
- this extends the accepted ciphersuites with TLSv1.2 ones
- also removes !AH, as I could not find documentation on it and the change
did not result in a changed ciphersuite list (checked via openssl
ciphers -v)
- closes#3096 (which also contains more details)
This removes a few unused CBlockLocator methods, and moves the
construction and fork-finding logic to CChain (which can do these
more efficiently, as it has a height-indexable chain available).
It also makes CBlockLocator independent from the validation code.
- rename URL into URI in paymentserver where correct
- add some missing Qt-coding-stuff in paymentserver
- change QSpinBox to QLineEdit as base for BitcoinAmountField in .ui files
(as this is the result when converting the BAF back into base)
- remove some c_str() and replace with QString::fromStdString()
- remove several new-lines
- remove unneeded spaces
- indentation fixes
I've seen users confused multiple times thinking they
should be using -tor to set their tor proxy and then
finding in horror that they were still connecting to
the IPv4 internet.
Even Jeff guesses wrong about what the knob does, so
I think we should rename it. This leaves the old
knob working, we can pull it out completely in a
later release.
Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
- move SelectParamsFromCommandLine() from init.cpp to bitcoin.cpp to allow
to use TestNet() for Bitcoin-Qt instead of GetBoolArg("-testnet", false)
- change order in bitcoind.cpp to match bitcoin.cpp functionality
- hamonize error message strings for missing datadir and failing
SelectParamsFromCommandLine() in bitcoin.cpp and bitcoind.cpp
- use TestNet() call in splashscreen.cpp
use std::string instead of psz for WalletFile
only allow wallets within $DATADIR
Use strWalletFile in salvage/recover
fix: remove unused variable pszWalletFile
move strWalletFile to init.h/init.cpp
avoid conversion of strWalletfile to c-string
In case no database exists yet, and -txindex(=1) is passed, we currently first
check whether fTxIndex differs from -txindex (and ask the user to reindex in
that case), and only afterwards initialize the database. By swapping these
around (the initialization is a no-op in case the database already exists),
we allow it to be born in txindex mode, without warning.
That also means we don't need to check -reindex anymore, as the wiping/reinit
of the databases happens before checking.
The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds
most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks.
The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the
bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate
implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence.
The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine
a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing
apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for
a block on the testnet.
- adds a reindex dialog for Bitcoin-Qt to change -txindex without the need
to supply -reindex
- now also does a -reindex, when removing the -txindex switch
Removed AreInputsStandard from CTransaction, made it a regular function in main.
Moved CTransaction::GetOutputFor to CCoinsViewCache.
Moved GetLegacySigOpCount and GetP2SHSigOpCount out of CTransaction into regular functions in main.
Moved GetValueIn and HaveInputs from CTransaction into CCoinsViewCache.
Moved AllowFree, ClientCheckInputs, CheckInputs, UpdateCoins, and CheckTransaction out of CTransaction and into main.
Moved IsStandard and IsFinal out of CTransaction and put them in main as IsStandardTx and IsFinalTx. Moved GetValueOut out of CTransaction into main. Moved CTxIn, CTxOut, and CTransaction into core.
Added minimum fee parameter to CTxOut::IsDust() temporarily until CTransaction is moved to core.h so that CTxOut needn't know about CTransaction.
Added explicit include of main.h in init.cpp, changed include of init.h to include of main.h in net.cpp.
Added function registration for net.cpp in init.cpp's network initialization.
Removed protocol.cpp's dependency on main.h.
TODO: Remove main.h include in net.cpp.
This will allow each to have its own main(), meaning that we can build a common
base client and simply link in the correct startup object to create the
appropriate binary.
- explicitly set the default of all GetBoolArg() calls
- rework getarg_test.cpp and util_tests.cpp to cover this change
- some indentation fixes
- move macdockiconhandler.h include in bitcoin.cpp to the "our headers"
section
This commit decouples the pMiningKey initialization and shutdown from the RPC
threads.
`getwork` and `getblocktemplate` rely on pMiningKey, and can also be ran
from the debug window in the UI even when the RPC server is not running.
Solves issue #2706.
Write bestblock records in wallets:
* Every 20160 blocks synced, no matter what (before: none during IBD)
* Every 144 blocks after IBD (before: for every block, slow)
* When creating a new wallet
* At shutdown
This should result in far fewer spurious rescans.
At startup, check that the expected genesis is loaded. This should prevent
cases where accidentally a datadir from the wrong network is loaded
(testnet vs mainnet, e.g.).
Bitcoin-Qt could core dump if application initialization failed in certain ways.
I double-fixed this:
1) qt/bitcoin.cpp now shuts down core threads cleanly if AppInit2 returns false
2) init.cpp now exits before StartNode() if strErrors is set (no reason to StartNode if we're just going to exit immediately anyway).
Tested by triggering all of the various ways AppInit2 can fail, either by passing bogus command-line arguments or just recompiling tweaked code to simulate failure.
This is a partial fix for #2480
It is possible to have a wallet.dat file without any bestblock
record at all (if created offline, for example), which - when
loaded into a client with a up-to-date chain - does no rescan and
shows no transactions.
Also make sure to write the current best block after a rescan, so
it isn't necessary twice.
Two reasons for this change:
1. Need to always use boost::thread's sleep, even on Windows, so the
sleeps can be interrupted (prior code used Windows' built-in Sleep).
2. I always forgot what units the old Sleep took.
Create a boost::thread_group object at the qt/bitcoind main-loop level
that will hold pointers to all the main-loop threads.
This will replace the vnThreadsRunning[] array.
For testing, ported the BitcoinMiner threads to use its
own boost::thread_group.
- remove an unneeded MODAL flag, as MSG_ERROR sets MODAL
- re-order an if-clause in main to have bool checks before a function call
- fix some log messages that used wrong function names
- make a log message use a correct ellipsis
- remove some unneded spaces, brackets and line-breaks
- fix style for adding files in the Qt project
By specifying -txindex when initializing the database, a txid-to-diskpos
index is maintained in the blktree database. This database is used to
help answering getrawtransaction() RPC queries, when enabled.
Changing the -txindex value requires a -reindex; the client will abort
at startup if the database and the specified -txindex mismatch.
- it was bad, that quite some messages were just talking about a database,
I think a user should know, if we are talking about wallet db or
block/coin db
- also adds a new init message for "Verifying block database integrity..."
- this pull adds an InitMessage() function to noui.cpp, which outputs init
messages to debug.log (this allows to remove some printf() calls from
init.cpp)
- change InitMessage() in bitcoin.cpp to also write init messages to
debug.log to ensure nothting is missing in the log because of the
removal of printf() calls in init.cpp
* During block verification (when parallelism is requested), script
check actions are stored instead of being executed immediately.
* After every processed transactions, its signature actions are
pushed to a CScriptCheckQueue, which maintains a queue and some
synchronization mechanism.
* Two or more threads (if enabled) start processing elements from
this queue,
* When the block connection code is finished processing transactions,
it joins the worker pool until the queue is empty.
As cs_main is held the entire time, and all verification must be
finished before the block continues processing, this does not reach
the best possible performance. It is a less drastic change than
some more advanced mechanisms (like doing verification out-of-band
entirely, and rolling back blocks when a failure is detected).
The -par=N flag controls the number of threads (1-16). 0 means auto,
and is the default.
-checklevel gets a new meaning:
0: verify blocks can be read from disk (like before)
1: verify (contextless) block validity (like before)
2: verify undo files can be read and have good checksums
3: verify coin database is consistent with the last few blocks
(close to level 6 before)
4: verify all validity rules of the last few blocks
Level 3 is the new default, as it's reasonably fast. As level 3 and
4 are implemented using an in-memory rollback of the database, they
are limited to as many blocks as possible without exceeding the
limits set by -dbcache. The default of -dbcache=25 allows for some
150-200 blocks to be rolled back.
In case an error is found, the application quits with a message
instructing the user to restart with -reindex. Better instructions,
and automatic recovery (when possible) or automatic reindexing are
left as future work.
When the coin database is out of date with the block database, the
best block in it is automatically switched to. This reconnection
process can take time, so allow it to be interrupted.
This also stops block connection as soon as shutdown is requested,
leading to a faster shutdown.
- fix ThreadSafeMessageBox always displays error icon
- allow to specify MSG_ERROR / MSG_WARNING or MSG_INFORMATION without a
custom caption / title
- allow to specify CClientUIInterface::ICON_ERROR / ICON_WARNING and
ICON_INFORMATION (which is default) as message box icon
- remove CClientUIInterface::OK from ThreadSafeMessageBox-calls, as
the OK button will be set as default, if none is specified
- prepend "Bitcoin - " to used captions
- rename BitcoinGUI::error() -> BitcoinGUI::message() and add function
documentation
- change all style parameters and enum flags to unsigned
- update code to use that new API
- update Client- and WalletModel to use new BitcoinGUI::message() and
rename the classes error() method into message()
- include the possibility to supply the wanted icon for messages from
Client- and WalletModel via "style" parameter
- this allows the client to listen on via -bind specified addresses
(e.g. 127.0.0.1), even when a network (IPv4 in that case) was blocked
via e.g -onlynet="Tor"
- introduce enum BindFlags to avoid passing multiple bools to Bind()
- make -bind help text clear we ALWAYS listen on the specified address
- remove an unused variable
- remove 2 unneeded IsLimited() checks before calling Bind(), which does
these checks anyway
- usage case: specify -bind=127.0.0.1 -onlynet="Tor" to allow incoming
connections to a Tor hidden service, but still don't allow other IPv4
nodes to connect / get connected
Flushes the blktree/ and coins/ databases, and reindexes the
block chain files, as if their contents was loaded via -loadblock.
Based on earlier work by Jeff Garzik.
As the coinset data refers to the best block, stored in the block
tree. Flushing the coin set first can cause inconsistencies if
the process gets killed in between.
Split off CBlockTreeDB and CCoinsViewDB into txdb-*.{cpp,h} files,
implemented by either LevelDB or BDB.
Based on code from earlier commits by Mike Hearn in his leveldb
branch.
Given that the block tree database (chain.dat) and the active chain
database (coins.dat) are entirely separate now, it becomes legal to
swap one with another instance without affecting the other.
This commit introduces a check in the startup code that detects the
presence of a better chain in chain.dat that has not been activated
yet, and does so efficiently (in batch, while reusing the blk???.dat
files).
During the initial block download (or -loadblock), delay connection
of new blocks a bit, and perform them in a single action. This reduces
the load on the database engine, as subsequent blocks often update an
earlier block's transaction already.
This switches bitcoin's transaction/block verification logic to use a
"coin database", which contains all unredeemed transaction output scripts,
amounts and heights.
The name ultraprune comes from the fact that instead of a full transaction
index, we only (need to) keep an index with unspent outputs. For now, the
blocks themselves are kept as usual, although they are only necessary for
serving, rescanning and reorganizing.
The basic datastructures are CCoins (representing the coins of a single
transaction), and CCoinsView (representing a state of the coins database).
There are several implementations for CCoinsView. A dummy, one backed by
the coins database (coins.dat), one backed by the memory pool, and one
that adds a cache on top of it. FetchInputs, ConnectInputs, ConnectBlock,
DisconnectBlock, ... now operate on a generic CCoinsView.
The block switching logic now builds a single cached CCoinsView with
changes to be committed to the database before any changes are made.
This means no uncommitted changes are ever read from the database, and
should ease the transition to another database layer which does not
support transactions (but does support atomic writes), like LevelDB.
For the getrawtransaction() RPC call, access to a txid-to-disk index
would be preferable. As this index is not necessary or even useful
for any other part of the implementation, it is not provided. Instead,
getrawtransaction() uses the coin database to find the block height,
and then scans that block to find the requested transaction. This is
slow, but should suffice for debug purposes.
Corrupt wallets used to cause a DB_RUNRECOVERY uncaught exception and a
crash. This commit does three things:
1) Runs a BDB verify early in the startup process, and if there is a
low-level problem with the database:
+ Moves the bad wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ Runs a 'salvage' operation to get key/value pairs, and
writes them to a new wallet.dat
+ Continues with startup.
2) Much more tolerant of serialization errors. All errors in deserialization
are reported by tolerated EXCEPT for errors related to reading keypairs
or master key records-- those are reported and then shut down, so the user
can get help (or recover from a backup).
3) Adds a new -salvagewallet option, which:
+ Moves the wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ extracts ONLY keypairs and master keys into a new wallet.dat
+ soft-sets -rescan, to recreate transaction history
This was tested by randomly corrupting testnet wallets using a little
python script I wrote (https://gist.github.com/3812689)
Before, opening a -datadir that was created with a new
version of Berkeley DB would result in an un-caught DB_RUNRECOVERY
exception.
After these changes, the error is caught and the user is told
that there is a problem and is told how to try to recover from
it.

This allows fun stuff such as `bitcoin --help | less`, and more
easy piping to files.
Looking at other tools such as bash, gcc, they all send their help
text to stdout.
- this enables DEP on all Windows version which support the
SetProcessDEPPolicy() call in Kernel32.dll
- use a dynamic approach via GetProcAddress() to not rely on headers or
compiler libs
- this is the same way the Tor-project does it
- ensure warnings always start with "Warning:" and that the first
character after ":" is written uppercase
- ensure the first sentence in warnings ends with an "!"
- remove unneeded spaces from Warning-strings
- add missing Warning-string translation
- remove a "\n" and replace with untranslatable "<br><br>"
- place "-?" option at first
- re-work description and "\n" usage for Gavins new block creation options
to better match current description syntax
- ensure no "\n" is in translated strings, which is better for Transifex
Modify CreateNewBlock so that instead of processing all transactions
in priority order, process the first 27K of transactions in
priority order and then process the rest in fee-per-kilobyte
order.
This is the first, minimal step towards better a better fee-handling
system for both miners and end-users; this patch should be easy
to backport to the old versions of Bitcoin, and accomplishes the
most important goal-- allow users to "buy their way in" to blocks
using transaction fees.
NOTE: These thread names are visible in gdb when using 'info threads'.
Additionally both 'top' and 'ps' show these names *unless* told to
display the command-line instead of task name.

Useful for developers who need to refer to futher back in debug.log history, but who don't want to
enable the -debug option and all the verbosity that comes with that.
Prior to this change, each TX typically generated 3+ debug messages,
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 0
sending getdata: tx 8644cc97480ba1537214
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 1339640761000000
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 1339640881000000
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 8644cc9748 (poolsz 6857)
After this change, there is only one message for each valid TX received
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 22a73c5d8c (poolsz 42)
and two messages for each orphan tx received
ERROR: FetchInputs() : 673dc195aa mempool Tx prev not found 1e439346fc
stored orphan tx 673dc195aa (mapsz 19)
The -debugnet option, or its superset -debug, will restore the full debug
output.
This introduces internal types:
* CKeyID: reference (hash160) of a key
* CScriptID: reference (hash160) of a script
* CTxDestination: a boost::variant of the former two
CBitcoinAddress is retrofitted to be a Base58 encoding of a
CTxDestination. This allows all internal code to only use the
internal types, and only have RPC and GUI depend on the base58 code.
Furthermore, the header dependencies are a lot saner now. base58.h is
at the top (right below rpc and gui) instead of at the bottom. For the
rest: wallet -> script -> keystore -> key. Only keystore still requires
a forward declaration of CScript. Solving that would require splitting
script into two layers.
- Signals now go directly from the core to WalletModel/ClientModel.
- WalletModel subscribes to signals on CWallet: Prepares for multi-wallet support, by no longer assuming an implicit global wallet.
- Gets rid of noui.cpp, the few lines that were left are merged into init.cpp
- Rename wxXXX message flags to MF_XXX, to make them UI indifferent.
- ThreadSafeMessageBox no longer returns the value `4` which was never used, converted to void.
Cleans up and organizes several scattered functions and variables related to
the BDB env. Class CDBInit() existed to provide a
guaranteed-via-C++-destructor cleanup of the db environment.
A formal CDBEnv class provides all of this inside a single wrapper.
The best log rotation method formerly available was to configure
logrotate with the copytruncate option. As described in the logrotate
documentation, "there is a very small time slice between copying the
file and truncating it, so some logging data might be lost".
By sending SIGHUP to the server process, one can now reopen the debug
log file without losing any data.
- Solves #1278, attempts to address #1049
- Removes \t's from help message that are removed afterwards anyway
- Moves UI-specific command-line options help to UI code
- Moves "-detachdb" out of #ifdef USE_UPNP
-externalip=<ip> can be used to explicitly set the public IP address
of your node. -discover=0 can be used to disable the automatic public
IP discovery system.
Add an option -detachdb (and entry in OptionDialog), without which no
lsn_reset is called on addr.dat and blkindex.dat. That means these
files cannot be moved to a new environment, but shutdown can be
significantly faster. The wallet file is always lsn_reset'ed.
-detachdb corresponds to the old behaviour, though it is off by
default now to speed up shutdowns.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Where possible, use boost::filesystem::path instead of std::string or
char* for filenames. This avoids a lot of manual string tinkering, in
favor of path::operator/.
GetDataDir is also reworked significantly, it now only keeps two cached
directory names (the network-specific data dir, and the root data dir),
which are decided through a parameter instead of pre-initialized global
variables.
Finally, remove the "upgrade from 0.1.5" case where a debug.log in the
current directory has to be removed.
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.
The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.
The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
Do not automatically change the wallet format unless the user takes an
explicit action that implies an upgrade (encrypting, for now), or uses
-walletupgrade.
-walletupgrade optionally takes an integer argument: the client version
up to which upgrading is allowed. Without an argument, it is upgraded
to latest supported version. If an argument to -walletupgrade is
provided at the time the wallet is created, the new wallet will initially
not use features beyond that version.
Third, the current wallet version number is reported in getinfo.
-checkblocks now takes a numeric argument: the number of blocks that must
be verified at the end of the chain. Default is 2500, and 0 means all
blocks.
-checklevel specifies how thorough the verification must be:
0: only check whether the block exists on disk
1: verify block validity (default)
2: verify transaction index validity
3: check transaction hashes
4: check whether spent txouts were spent within the main chain
5: check whether all prevouts are marked spent
6: check whether spent txouts were spent by a valid transaction that consumes them
Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
