This is to support the signrawtransaction API call; given the public
keys involved in a multisig transaction, this gives back the redeemScript
needed to sign it.
signrawtransaction was unable to sign pay-to-script-hash inputs
when given the list of private keys to use. With this commit
you can provide the p2sh redemption script in the list of
inputs.
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.
- "ThreadIRCSeed started" was not displayed, even if the thread ran
(although only for a short time as the "do we want this thread?"-checks
happen IN ThreadIRCSeed2())
- the patch ensures we always get that message
- add a "ThreadIRCSeed trying to connect..." message
- add missing "ThreadDumpAddress started" message
- instead of "return false;" use "return QDialog::eventFilter(object,
event);" to harmonize this event filter with our default behaviour
- remove orphan spaces found while editting the files
Implements #1948
- Add macro `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to clientversion.h
- When running a prerelease (the above macro is `false`):
- In UI, show an orange warning bar at the top. This will be used for other
warnings (and alerts) as well, instead of the status bar.
- For `bitcoind`, show the warning in the "errors" field in `getinfo`
response.
CreateNewBlock was reading pindexBest at the start before taking the lock
so it was possible to have the the block content not match the prevheader
and this can also trigger a newly added assert in ConnectBlock.
I noticed this during a code review after twobitcoins reported that ab91bf39
(BIP30 for all blocks) could cause a null dereference on a modified node
that mined during the IBD, or on testnet when it reached heights 91842 and
91880 due to CreateNewBlock calling ConnectBlock with pindex->phashBlock NULL.
- remove uiInterface.InitMessage() calls from ThreadImport(), as Qt
doesn't like them getting called out of it's main thread and because the
thread will continue to run after the GUI was loaded
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).
To prevent excessive copying of CCoins in and out of the CCoinsView
implementations, introduce a GetCoins() function in CCoinsViewCache
with returns a direct reference. The block validation and connection
logic is updated to require caching CCoinsViews, and exploits the
GetCoins() function heavily.
Use CBlock's vMerkleTree to cache transaction hashes, and pass them
along as argument in more function calls. During initial block download,
this results in every transaction's hash to be only computed once.
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.
Introduce a AllocateFileRange() function in util, which wipes or
at least allocates a given range of a file. It can be overriden
by more efficient OS-dependent versions if necessary.
Block and undo files are now allocated in chunks of 16 and 1 MiB,
respectively.
Change the block storage layer again, this time with multiple files
per block, but tracked by txindex.dat database entries. The file
format is exactly the same as the earlier blk00001.dat, but with
smaller files (128 MiB for now).
The database entries track how many bytes each block file already
uses, how many blocks are in it, which range of heights is present
and which range of dates.
The CTxUndo class encapsulates data necessary to undo the effects of
a transaction on the txout set, namely the previous outputs consumed
by it (script + amount), and potentially transaction meta-data when
it is spent entirely.
The CCoins class represents a pruned set of transaction outputs from
a given transaction. It only retains information about its height in
the block chain, whether it was a coinbase transaction, and its
unspent outputs (script + amount).
It has a custom serializer that has very low redundancy.
Special serializer/deserializer for amount values. It is optimized for
values which have few non-zero digits in decimal representation. Most
amounts currently in the txout set take only 1 or 2 bytes to
represent.
Special serializers for script which detect common cases and encode
them much more efficiently. 3 special cases are defined:
* Pay to pubkey hash (encoded as 21 bytes)
* Pay to script hash (encoded as 21 bytes)
* Pay to pubkey starting with 0x02, 0x03 or 0x04 (encoded as 33 bytes)
Other scripts up to 121 bytes require 1 byte + script length. Above
that, scripts up to 16505 bytes require 2 bytes + script length.
Variable-length integers: bytes are a MSB base-128 encoding of the number.
The high bit in each byte signifies whether another digit follows. To make
the encoding is one-to-one, one is subtracted from all but the last digit.
Thus, the byte sequence a[] with length len, where all but the last byte
has bit 128 set, encodes the number:
(a[len-1] & 0x7F) + sum(i=1..len-1, 128^i*((a[len-i-1] & 0x7F)+1))
Properties:
* Very small (0-127: 1 byte, 128-16511: 2 bytes, 16512-2113663: 3 bytes)
* Every integer has exactly one encoding
* Encoding does not depend on size of original integer type

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.

- don't rely on the QSettings for cases ProxyUse and ProxySocksVersion and
query the real values via the GetProxy() call
- add a missing "succesful =" for case ProxyUse in ::setData()
I2P apparently needs 256 bits to store a fully routable address. Garlicat
requires a centralized lookup service to map the 80-bit addresses to fully
routable ones (as far as I understood), so that's not really usable in our
situation.
To support I2P routing and peer exchange for it, another solution is needed.
This will most likely imply a network protocol change, and extension of the
'addr' message.
- fix#1560 by properly locking proxy related data-structures
- update GetProxy() and introduce GetNameProxy() to be able to use a
thread-safe local copy from proxyInfo and nameproxyInfo
- update usage of GetProxy() all over the source to match the new
behaviour, as it now fills a full proxyType object
- rename GetNameProxy() into HaveNameProxy() to be more clear
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.
These command are a leftover from send-to-IP transactions, which have been
removed a long time ago.
Also removes CNode::mapRequests and CNode::PushRequests, as these were
only used for the mentioned commands.
As the code was before, toHTML added empty elements to mapValue to check for their existance. Now first it check for their existance and then for their non-emptiness.
Removed a duplicated identical if
There are two equal ifs, one inside another. If the first one is true, then the second one is true.
Due to a bug in the implementation of MakeSameSize(), using OP_AND, OP_OR, or OP_XOR with signed values of unequal size will result in the sign-value becoming part of the smaller integer, with nonsensical results. This patch documents the unexpected behavior and provides the basis of a solution should decision be made to fix the bug in the future.
