Adds new functional test, dbcrash.py, which uses -dbcrashratio to exercise the
logic for recovering from a crash during chainstate flush.
dbcrash.py is added to the extended tests, as it may take ~10 minutes to run
Use _Exit() instead of exit() for crash simulation
This eliminates stderr output such as:
terminate called without an active exception
or
Assertion failed: (!pthread_mutex_destroy(&m)), function ~recursive_mutex, file /usr/local/include/boost/thread/pthread/recursive_mutex.hpp, line 104.
Eliminating the stderr output on crash simulation allows testing with
test_runner.py, which reports a test as failed if stderr is produced.
This requires that we not access pcoinsTip in InitBlockIndex's
FlushStateToDisk (so we just skip it until later in AppInitMain)
and the LoadChainTip in LoadBlockIndex (which there is already one
later in AppinitMain, after ReplayBlocks, so skipping it there is
fine).
Includes some simplifications by Suhas Daftuar and Pieter Wuille.
This wraps CheckInputs in ATMP's cache-inputs call to check that
each scriptPubKey the CCoinsViewCache provides is the one which
was committed to by the input's transaction hash.
A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
rbx needs to be stashed in a 64bit register on 64bit platforms. With this crash
in particular, it was holding a stack canary which was not properly restored
after the cpuid.
Split out the x86+PIC case so that x86_64 doesn't have to worry about it.
Part of a series of changes to clean up the instantiation of connman
by decoupling the command line arguments.
We also now abort with an error when explicit binds are set with
-listen=0.
In order to prevent mixups, our internal range is never allowed as a resolve
result. This means that no user-provided string will ever be confused with an
internal address.
We currently do two resolves for dns seeds: one for the results, and one to
serve in addrman as the source for those addresses.
There's no requirement that the source hostname resolves to the stored
identifier, only that the mapping is unique. So rather than incurring the
second lookup, combine a private subnet with a hash of the hostname.
The resulting v6 ip is guaranteed not to be publicy routable, and has only a
negligible chance of colliding with a user's internal network (which would be
of no consequence anyway).
Since cfe77ef41 the global nTxConfirmTarget wasn't being updated by the smart
fee slider and thus the coin control dialog and labels were not being updated.
Use case: TryCreateDirectory(GetDataDir() / "blocks" / "index") would
fail if the blocks directory was not explicitly created before.
The line that did so was in a weird location and could be removed as a
result.
In Olaoluwa Osuntokun's recent protocol proposal they were using a
mod in an inner loop. I wanted to suggest a normative protocol
change to use the trick we use here, but to find an explanation
of it I had to dig up the PR on github. After I posted about it
several other developers commented that it was very interesting
and they were unaware of it.
I think ideally the code should be self documenting and help
educate other contributors about non-obvious techniques that
we use. So I've written a description of the technique with
citations for future reference.
