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.
Prevent denial-of-service attacks by banning
peers that send us invalid orphan transactions
and only storing orphan transactions given to
us by a peer while the peer is connected.
2c2cc5d Remove some unnecessary c_strs() in logging and the GUI (Philip Kaufmann)
f7d0a86 netbase: Use .data() instead of .c_str() on binary string (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
The efficient version of CCoinsViewCache::GetCoins only works for known-to-exist
cache entries, requiring a separate HaveCoins call beforehand. This is
inefficient as both perform a hashtable lookup.
Replace the non-mutable GetCoins with AccessCoins, which returns a potentially-NULL
pointer. This also decreases the overloading of GetCoins.
Also replace some copying (inefficient) GetCoins calls with equivalent AccessCoins,
decreasing the copying.
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.

d1e26d4 Move CMedianFilter to timedata.cpp (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
Due to growing coinsviewcaches, the memory usage with checklevel=3
(and standard settings for dbcache) could be up to 500MiB on a
64-bit system. This is about twice the peak during reindexing,
unnecessarily extending bitcoind's memory envelope.
This commit reduces the maximum total size of the caches used during
verification to just nCoinCacheSize, which should be the limit.
Remove the 'state' and 'exceptmask' from serialize.h's stream implementations,
as well as related methods.
As exceptmask always included 'failbit', and setstate was always called with
bits = failbit, all it did was immediately raise an exception. Get rid of
those variables, and replace the setstate with direct exception throwing
(which also removes some dead code).
As a result, good() is never reached after a failure (there are only 2
calls, one of which is in tests), and can just be replaced by !eof().
fail(), clear(n) and exceptions() are just never called. Delete them.
The only other method of logging remote addresses is via
-logips=1 -debug=net
which increases the logged activity by 100x or more.
Github-Pull: #4608
Amended-By: Wladimir J. van der Laan <laanwj@gmail.com>
Port over https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/pull/19 from
Huntercoin: This implements a new RPC command "getchaintips" that can be
used to find all currently active chain heads. This is similar to the
-printblocktree startup option, but it can be used without restarting
just via the RPC interface on a running daemon.
* Replace -benchmark (and the related fBenchmark) with a regular debug option, -debug=bench.
* Increase coverage and granularity of individual block processing steps.
* Add cummulative times.
