If/when CTransaction::CURRENT_VERSION is incremented, this will break CChainParams and the miner tests. This fix sets the transaction version explicitly where we depend on the hash value (genesis block, proof of work checks).
Under some circumstances it is possible for there to be a significant,
discontinuous jump in a node's clock value. On mining nodes, this can
result in block templates which are no longer valid due to time-based
nLockTime constraints. UpdateTime() is modified so that it will never
decrease a block's nLockTime, thereby preventing such invalidations.
Previously due to an off-by-one error the wallet ignored
nLockTime-by-height transactions that would be valid in the next block
even though they are accepted into the mempool. The transactions
wouldn't show up until confirmed, nor would they be included in the
unconfirmed balance. Similar to the mempool behavior fix in 665bdd3b,
the wallet code was calling IsFinalTx() directly without taking into
account the fact that doing so tells you if the transaction could have
been mined in the *current* block, rather than the next block.
To fix this we strip IsFinalTx() of non-consensus-critical
functionality, removing the default arguments, and add CheckFinalTx() to
check if a transaction will be final in the next block.
Fix two CSubNet constructor problems:
- The use of `/x` where 8 does not divide x was broken, due to a
bit-order issue
- The use of e.g. `1.2.3.4/24` where the netmasked bits in the network
are not 0 was broken. Fix this by explicitly normalizing the netwok
according to the bitmask.
Also add tests for these cases.
Fixes#6179. Thanks to @jonasschnelli for reporting and initial fix.
Don't clear `stopRequested` and `stopWhenEmpty` at the top of
`serviceQueue`, as this results in a race condition: on systems under
heavy load, some of the threads only get scheduled on the CPU when the
other threads have already finished their work. This causes the flags to
be cleared post-hoc and thus those threads to wait forever.
The potential drawback of this change is that the scheduler cannot be
restarted after being stopped (an explicit reset would be needed), but
we don't use this functionality anyway.
Most people expect a value of 1 to enable all for command line arguments.
However to do this for the -debug option you must type "-debug=".
This has been changed to allow "-debug=1" as well as "-debug=" to
enable all debug logging
To protect privacy, do not use UPNP when a proxy is set. The user may
still specify -listen=1 to listen locally (for a hidden service), so
don't rely on this happening through -listen.
Fixes#2927.
On a busy or slow system, the CScheduler unit test could fail because it
assumed all threads would be done after a couple of milliseconds.
Replace the hard-coded sleep with CScheduler stop() method that
will cleanly exit the servicing threads when all tasks are completely
finished.
Previously this was cleared only after UnlinkPrunedFiles, but it should really be cleared after FindFilesToPrune, regardless of whether there are any files to be pruned.
This assertion will occur any time that the client quits without
shutting down properly due to an error condition. As the user will
report this error instead of the error that was the root cause, it is
better to remove it.
Create a monitoring task that counts how many blocks have been found in the last four hours.
If very few or too many have been found, an alert is triggered.
"Very few" and "too many" are set based on a false positive rate of once every fifty years of constant running with constant hashing power, which works out to getting 5 or fewer or 48 or more blocks in four hours (instead of the average of 24).
Only one alert per day is triggered, so if you get disconnected from the network (or are being Sybil'ed) -alertnotify will be triggered after 3.5 hours but you won't get another -alertnotify for 24 hours.
Tested with a new unit test and by running on the main network with -debug=partitioncheck
Run test/test_bitcoin --log_level=message to see the alert messages:
WARNING: check your network connection, 3 blocks received in the last 4 hours (24 expected)
WARNING: abnormally high number of blocks generated, 60 blocks received in the last 4 hours (24 expected)
The -debug=partitioncheck debug.log messages look like:
ThreadPartitionCheck : Found 22 blocks in the last 4 hours
ThreadPartitionCheck : likelihood: 0.0777702
