Unit tests for uint256.h. The file uint160_tests.cpp is no longer
needed. The ad-hoc tests which were in uint256.h are also no longer
needed. The new tests achieve 100% coverage.
Use a fixed script instead of a CReserveKey from the wallet.
This does not affect the functionality or result of the tests as they never
check the state of the wallet in the first place.
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
Instead of building a full copy of a CTransaction being signed, and
then modifying bits and pieces until its fits the form necessary
for computing the signature hash, use a wrapper serializer that
only serializes the necessary bits on-the-fly.
This makes it easier to see which data is actually being hash,
reduces load on the heap, and also marginally improves performances
(around 3-4us/sigcheck here). The performance improvements are much
larger for large transactions, though.
The old implementation of SignatureHash is moved to a unit tests,
to test whether the old and new algorithm result in the same value
for randomly-constructed transactions.
This change moves test data into the binaries rather than reading them from
the disk at runtime.
Advantages:
- Tests become distributable
- Cross-compile friendly. Build on one machine and execute in an arbitrary
location on another.
- Easier testing for backports. Users can verify that tests pass without having
to track down corresponding test data.
- More trustworthy test results and easier quality assurance as tests make
fewer assumptions about their environment.
- Tests could theoretically run at client/daemon startup and exit on failure.
Disadvantages:
- Required 'hexdump' build-dependency. This is a standard bsd tool that should
be usable everywhere. It is likely already installed on all build-machines.
- Tests can no longer be fudged after build by altering test-data.
