Two changes: First removes a unit test that fails in my development environment (OSX, compiled -g3 with clang). sipa says that's not terribly surprising; the CMutableTransaction change makes signing a little more expensive but verification quicker. The unit test timed sign+verify-uncached versus verify-cached-five-times. He also says the test will be invalid when libsec256kp1 is integrated (because validation is super-optimized over signing). core.h change fixes a compiler warning (clang -Wall : CMutableTransaction defined as struct, declared as class in script.h). |

Notes
The sources in this directory are unit test cases. Boost includes a unit testing framework, and since bitcoin already uses boost, it makes sense to simply use this framework rather than require developers to configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating unit tests as possible).
The build system is setup to compile an executable called "test_bitcoin" that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file is called test_bitcoin.cpp, which simply includes other files that contain the actual unit tests (outside of a couple required preprocessor directives). The pattern is to create one test file for each class or source file for which you want to create unit tests. The file naming convention is "<source_filename>_tests.cpp" and such files should wrap their tests in a test suite called "<source_filename>_tests". For an examples of this pattern, examine uint160_tests.cpp and uint256_tests.cpp.
For further reading, I found the following website to be helpful in explaining how the boost unit test framework works: http://www.alittlemadness.com/2009/03/31/c-unit-testing-with-boosttest/.
