Using VARINT with signed types is dangerous because negative values will appear
to serialize correctly, but then deserialize as positive values mod 128.
This commit changes the VARINT macro to trigger an error by default if called
with an signed value, and updates broken uses of VARINT to pass a special flag
that lets them keep working with no change in behavior.

Pull request description:
The second parameter of the `createrawtransaction` is a dictionary of the outputs. This comes with at least two drawbacks:
* In case of duplicate keys, either of them might silently disappear, with no user feedback at all. A user needs to make other mistakes, but this could eventually lead to abnormal tx fees.
* A dictionary does not guarantee that keys are sorted. Again, a user needs to keep this in mind, as it could eventually lead to excessive tx fees.
Even though my scenario of loss-of-funds is unlikely to happen, I see it as a inconvenience that should be fixed.

Pull request description:
This PR contains some of the changes left as TODO in #11167 (and built on top of that PR). They are not intended for backporting.
This removes the `CBase58`, `CBitcoinSecret`, `CBitcoinExtKey`, and `CBitcoinExtPubKey` classes, in favor of simple `Encode`/`Decode` functions. Furthermore, all Bitcoin-specific logic (addresses, WIF, BIP32) is moved to `key_io.{h,cpp}`, leaving `base58.{h,cpp}` as a pure utility that implements the base58 encoding/decoding logic.

e68172ed9 Add test-before-evict discipline to addrman (Ethan Heilman)
Pull request description:
This change implement countermeasures 3 (test-before-evict) suggested in our paper: ["Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network"](http://cs-people.bu.edu/heilman/eclipse/).
# Design:
A collision occurs when an address, addr1, is being moved to the tried table from the new table, but maps to a position in the tried table which already contains an address (addr2). The current behavior is that addr1 would evict addr2 from the tried table.
This change ensures that during a collision, addr1 is not inserted into tried but instead inserted into a buffer (setTriedCollisions). The to-be-evicted address, addr2, is then tested by [a feeler connection](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8282). If addr2 is found to be online, we remove addr1 from the buffer and addr2 is not evicted, on the other hand if addr2 is found be offline it is replaced by addr1.
An additional small advantage of this change is that, as no more than ten addresses can be in the test buffer at once, and addresses are only cleared one at a time from the test buffer (at 2 minute intervals), thus an attacker is forced to wait at least two minutes to insert a new address into tried after filling up the test buffer. This rate limits an attacker attempting to launch an eclipse attack.
# Risk mitigation:
- To prevent this functionality from being used as a DoS vector, we limit the number of addresses which are to be tested to ten. If we have more than ten addresses to test, we drop new addresses being added to tried if they would evict an address. Since the feeler thread only creates one new connection every 2 minutes the additional network overhead is limited.
- An address in tried gains immunity from tests for 4 hours after it has been tested or successfully connected to.
# Tests:
This change includes additional addrman unittests which test this behavior.
I ran an instance of this change with a much smaller tried table (2 buckets of 64 addresses) so that collisions were much more likely and observed evictions.

# Security Benefit
This is was originally posted in PR #8282 see [this comment for full details](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8282#issuecomment-237255215).
To determine the security benefit of these larger numbers of IPs in the tried table I modeled the attack presented in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/263).
**Default node:** 595 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
**Default node + test-before-evict:** 620 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
**Feeler node:** 5540 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
**Feeler node + test-before-evict:** 8600 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
The node running feeler connections has 10 times as many online IP addresses in its tried table making an attack 10 times harder (i.e. requiring the an attacker require 10 times as many IP addresses in different /16s). Adding test-before-evict increases resistance of the node by an additional 3000 attacker IP addresses.
Below I graph the attack over even greater attacker resources (i.e. more attacker controled IP addresses). Note that test-before-evict maintains some security far longer even against an attacker with 50,000 IPs. If this node had a larger tried table test-before-evict could greatly boost a nodes resistance to eclipse attacks.

9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. `const_cast(...)`
2. `static_cast(...)`
3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))`
4. `reinterpret_cast(...)`
5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))`
By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

Pull request description:
This implements a minimum viable implementation of SegWit wallet support, based on top of #11389, and includes part of the functionality from #11089.
Two new configuration options are added:
* `-addresstype`, with options `legacy`, `p2sh`, and `bech32`. It controls what kind of addresses are produced by `getnewaddress`, `getaccountaddress`, and `createmultisigaddress`.
* `-changetype`, with the same options, and by default equal to `-addresstype`, that controls what kind of change is used.
All wallet private and public keys can be used for any type of address. Support for address types dependent on different derivation paths will need a major overhaul of how our internal detection of outputs work. I expect that that will happen for a next major version.
The above also applies to imported keys, as having a distinction there but not for normal operations is a disaster for testing, and probably for comprehension of users. This has some ugly effects, like needing to associate the provided label to `importprivkey` with each style address for the corresponding key.
To deal with witness outputs requiring a corresponding redeemscript in wallet, three approaches are used:
* All SegWit addresses created through `getnewaddress` or multisig RPCs explicitly get their redeemscripts added to the wallet file. This means that downgrading after creating a witness address will work, as long as the wallet file is up to date.
* All SegWit keys in the wallet get an _implicit_ redeemscript added, without it being written to the file. This means recovery of an old backup will work, as long as you use new software.
* All keypool keys that are seen used in transactions explicitly get their redeemscripts added to the wallet files. This means that downgrading after recovering from a backup that includes a witness address will work.
These approaches correspond to solutions 3a, 1a, and 5a respectively from https://gist.github.com/sipa/125cfa1615946d0c3f3eec2ad7f250a2. As argued there, there is no full solution for dealing with the case where you both downgrade and restore a backup, so that's also not implemented.
`dumpwallet`, `importwallet`, `importmulti`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage` don't work with SegWit addresses yet. They're remaining TODOs, for this PR or a follow-up. Because of that, several tests unexpectedly run with `-addresstype=legacy` for now.

3e1ee31 [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp. (sean)
Pull request description:
blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.

univalue unit tests were added in #4730 , and exist at `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp` (outside the univalue tree). That test was brought into the univalue repository in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/univalue/pull/4 , which was pulled into the github repository in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11420.
That means that the univalue test exists in two places:
1. `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp`
2. `/src/univalue/test/object.cpp`
(2) is a strict superset of (1). It adds some macros to work around boost not being a univalue dependency, and adds a few extra lines of test.
Therefore remove `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp`

12781db [Tests] check specific validation error in miner tests (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
## Problem
`BOOST_CHECK_THROW` merely checks that some `std::runtime_error` is
thrown, but not which one.
Here's an example of how this can cause a test to pass when a developer
introduces a consensus bug. The test for the sigops limit assumes
that `CreateNewBlock` fails with `bad-blk-sigops`. However it can
also fail with bad-txns-vout-negative, if a naive developer lowers
`BLOCKSUBSIDY` to `1*COIN`.
## Solution
`BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION` allows an additional predicate function. This
commit uses this for all exceptions that are checked for in
`miner_tets.cpp`:
* `bad-blk-sigops`
* `bad-cb-multiple`
* `bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent`
* `block-validation-failed`
If the function throws a different error, the test will fail. Although the message produced by Boost is a bit [confusing](http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Test-BOOST-CHECK-EXCEPTION-error-message-still-vague-tt4683257.html#a4683554), it does show which error was actually thrown. Here's what the above `1*COIN` bug would result in:
<img width="1134" alt="schermafbeelding 2017-09-02 om 23 42 29" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10217/29998976-815cabce-9038-11e7-9c46-f5f6cfb0ca7d.png">
## Other considerations
A more elegant solution in my opinion would be to subclass `std::runtime_error` for each `INVALID_TRANSACTION` type, but this would involve touching consensus code.
I put the predicates in `test_bitcoin.h` because I assume they can be reused in other test files. However [serialize_tests.cpp](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.15.0rc3/src/test/serialize_tests.cpp#L245) also uses `BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION` and it defines the predicate in the test file itself.
Instead of four `IsRejectInvalidReasonX(std::runtime_error const& e)` functions, I'd prefer something reusable like `bool IsRejectInvalidReason(String reason)(std::runtime_error const& e)`, which would be used like `BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION(functionThatThrows(), std::runtime_error, IsRejectInvalidReason("bad-blk-sigops")`. I couldn't figure out how to do that in C++.

This is a no-op as `UPGRADABLE_NOPS` is only set for mempool transactions, and those always have `SCRIPT_VERIFY_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY` and `SCRIPT_VERIFY_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY` set as well. The advantage is that setting more flags now always results in a reduction in acceptable scripts (=softfork).
This results in a nice and testable property for validation, for which a new test is added.
This also means that the introduction of a new definition for a NOP or witness version will likely need the following procedure (example OP_NOP8 here)
* Remove OP_NOP8 from being affected by `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DISCOURAGE_UPGRADABLE_NOPS`.
* Add a `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DISCOURAGE_NOP8`, which only applies to `OP_NOP8`.
* Add a `SCRIPT_VERIFY_NOP8` which implements the new consensus logic.
* Before activation, add `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DISCOURAGE_NOP8` to the mempool flags.
* After activation, add `SCRIPT_VERIFY_NOP8` to both the mempool and consensus flags.

blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.
BOOST_CHECK_THROW merely checks that some std::runtime_error is
thrown, but not which one.
One example of how this could lead to a test passing when a developer
introduces a consensus bug: the test for the sigops limit assumes
that CreateNewBlock fails with bad-blk-sigops. However it can
also fail with bad-txns-vout-negative, e.g. if a naive developer lowers
BLOCKSUBSIDY to 1*COIN in the test.
BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION allows an additional predicate function. This
commit uses this for all exceptions that are checked for in
miner_tets.cpp:
* bad-blk-sigops
* bad-cb-multiple
* bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent
* block-validation-failed
An instance of the CheckRejectInvalid class (for a given validation string)
is passed to BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION.

Pull request description:
Most tests shouldn't have to deal with the now-historical SegWit activation transition (and other deployments, but SegWit is certainly the hardest one to accomodate).
This PR makes a versionbits starttime of -1 equal to "always active", and enables it by default for SegWit on regtest. Individual tests can override this by using the existing `-vbparams` option.
A few unit tests and functional tests are adapted to indeed override vbparams, as they specifically test the transition.
This is in preparation for wallet SegWit support, but I thought having earlier eyes on it would be useful.

If our tip hasn't updated in a while, that may be because our peers are
not relaying blocks to us that we would consider valid. Allow connection
to an additional outbound peer in that circumstance.
Also, periodically check to see if we are exceeding our target number of
outbound peers, and disconnect the one which has least recently
announced a new block to us (choosing the newest such peer in the case
of tie).

d601f16 Fix invalid memory access in CScript::operator+= (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
This is a fix for #11114 -- invoking "s += s" gets turned into "s.insert(s.end(), s.begin(), s.end())" which can result in an invalid memory access is s.capacity() < 2*s.size() (because s gets resized and possibly moved, so s.begin() and s.end() become invalid references when reading the values to be appended).
The fix is straightforward: reserve enough space in advance, so that insert() doesn't need to resize and thus its arguments remain valid.
A simple test case is added as well; though you probably need to run it via valgrind to actually catch the problem when it's not fixed...

A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. const_cast(...)
2. static_cast(...)
3. const_cast(static_cast(...))
4. reinterpret_cast(...)
5. const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))
By using static_cast<T>(...) explicitly we avoid the possibility
of an unintentional and dangerous reinterpret_cast. Furthermore
static_cast<T>(...) allows for easier grepping of casts.
Combine fLimitFree and fOverrideMempoolLimit into a single boolean:
bypass_limits. This is used to indicate that mempool limiting based on feerate
should be bypassed. It is used when readding transactions from a reorg and then
the mempool is trimmed to size after all transactions are added and they can be
evaluated in the context of their descendants. No changes to behavior.
This resolves an issue where estimatesmartfee would return 999
sat/byte instead of 1000, due to floating point loss of precision

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.

`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

```
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)

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.
