If BDB_CPPFLAGS returns only "-I", the next argument sent to the preprocessor
is treated as a path. There are 2 fixes here:
1. Check in CPPFLAGS, as a user might have manually passed a path to check.
2. Ensure the value is not empty before setting BDB_CPPFLAGS to "-I value"
This changes the priority calculation to not include the size of per-txin
data including up to 110 bytes of scriptsig so that transactions which
sweep up extra UTXO don't lose priority relative to ones that don't.
I'd toyed with some other variations, but it seems like any formulation
which results in an incentive stronger than making them not count will
sometimes create incentives to add extra outputs so that you have
extra inputs to consume later. The maximum credit is limited so that
users don't lose the disincentive to stuff random data in their
transactions, the limit of 110 is based on the size of a P2SH
redemption with a compressed public key.
This shouldn't need a staged deployment because the priority is not
used as a relay criteria, only a mining criteria.
This change moves test data into the binaries rather than reading them from
the disk at runtime.
Advantages:
- Tests become distributable
- Cross-compile friendly. Build on one machine and execute in an arbitrary
location on another.
- Easier testing for backports. Users can verify that tests pass without having
to track down corresponding test data.
- More trustworthy test results and easier quality assurance as tests make
fewer assumptions about their environment.
- Tests could theoretically run at client/daemon startup and exit on failure.
Disadvantages:
- Required 'hexdump' build-dependency. This is a standard bsd tool that should
be usable everywhere. It is likely already installed on all build-machines.
- Tests can no longer be fudged after build by altering test-data.
libleveldb.a and libmemenv.a should be able to build in parallel, but in
practice calling the leveldb makefile ends up rewriting build_config.mk. If
one target tries to build while the other is halfway through writing the
.mk, the make ends up in an undefined state.
Fix that by making one depend on the other. This also reorders the variables
to be passed by param rather than via the environment, and combines the targets
into a single rule to avoid needless duplication.
As we'd previously learned, OSX's fsync is a data eating lie.
Since 0.8.4 we're still getting some reports of disk corruption on
OSX but now all of it looks like the block files have gotten out of
sync with the database. It turns out that we were still using fsync()
on the block files, so this isn't surprising.
