Previously an empty script wouldn't be hashed, and CScriptID would be
assigned the incorrect value of 0 instead. This bug can be seen in the
RPC decodescript command:
$ btc decodescript ""
{
"asm" : "",
"type" : "nonstandard",
"p2sh" : "31h1vYVSYuKP6AhS86fbRdMw9XHieotbST"
}
Correct output:
$ btc decodescript ""
{
"asm" : "",
"type" : "nonstandard",
"p2sh" : "3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy"
}
Based on an earlier patch by Peter Todd, though the rules here are different
(P2SH scripts should not have a CLEANSTACK check before the P2SH evaluation).
This turns STRICTENC turn into a softforking-safe change (even though it
is not intended as a consensus rule), and as a result guarantee that using
it for mempool validation only results in consensus-valid transactions in
the mempool.
NOP1 to NOP10 are reserved for future soft-fork upgrades. In the event
of an upgrade such NOPs have *VERIFY behavior, meaning that if their
arguments are not correct the script fails. Discouraging these NOPs by
rejecting transactions containing them from the mempool ensures that
we'll never accept transactions, nor mine blocks, with scripts that are
now invalid according to the majority of hashing power even if we're not
yet upgraded. Previously this wasn't an issue as the IsStandard() rules
didn't allow upgradable NOPs anyway, but 7f3b4e95 relaxed the
IsStandard() rules for P2SH redemptions allowing any redeemScript to be
spent.
We *do* allow upgradable NOPs in scripts so long as they are not
executed. This is harmless as there is no opportunity for the script to
be invalid post-upgrade.
Attempt to codify the possible error statuses associated with script
validation. script/types.h has been created with the expectation that it will
be part of the public lib interface. The other flag enums will be moved here in
a future commit.
Logging has also been removed in order to drop the dependency on core.h. It can
be re-added to bitcoind as-needed. This makes script verification finally free
of application state and boost!
99f41b9 MOVEONLY: core.o -> core/block.o (jtimon)
561e9e9 MOVEONLY: Move script/compressor out of script and put CTxOutCompressor (from core) with it (jtimon)
999a2ab MOVEONLY: separate CTxUndo out of core (jtimon)
4a3587d MOVEONLY: Separate CTransaction and dependencies from core (jtimon)
eda3733 MOVEONLY: Move CFeeRate and Amount constants to amount.o (jtimon)
This allows for a reversal of the current behavior.
This:
CScript foo;
CScriptID bar(foo.GetID());
Becomes:
CScript foo;
CScriptID bar(foo);
This way, CScript is no longer dependent on CScriptID or Hash();
* Delete canonical_tests.cpp, and move the tests to script_tests.cpp.
* Split off SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG from SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC (the BIP62 part of it).
* Change signature STRICTENC/DERSIG semantics to fail the script entirely rather than the CHECKSIG result (softfork safety, and BIP62 requirement).
* Add many autogenerated tests for several odd cases.
* Mention specific BIP62 rules in the script verification flags.
