The blockmaxsize option was marked as deprecated in V0.15.1, and code
was added to convert provided blockmaxsize into blockmaxweight. However,
this code was incorrectly implemented, and blockmaxsize was silently
ignored.
No users have complained about blockmaxsize being ignored, so just
remove it in V0.17.
GitHub-Pull: #12756
Rebased-From: 4757c04
Transaction selection for mining tracks ancestor feerates that are
modified based on transactions that have already been selected. This
commit de-duplicates the code so that the ancestor feerate sorting used
by the mempool can also be directly applied to the miner.
* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
potentially addressing some performance edge cases.
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
Segwit's version bit will be signalled for all invocations of CreateNewBlock,
and not specifying segwit only will cause CreateNewBlock to skip transactions
with witness from being selected.
CreateNewBlock returns a pointer for which the caller takes ownership.
Use std::unique_ptr to make this explicit and simplify handling of these
objects in getblocktemplate.
Change the few occurrences of the deprecated `auto_ptr` to c++11 `unique_ptr`.
Silences the deprecation warnings.
Also add a missing `std::` for consistency.
