Previously we used the CInv that would be sent to the peer announcing the
transaction as the key, but using the txid instead allows us to decouple the
p2p layer from the application logic (which relies on this map to avoid
duplicate tx requests).
The lockorder potential deadlock detection works by remembering for each
lock A that is acquired while holding another B the pair (A,B), and
triggering a warning when (B,A) already exists in the table.
A and B in the above text are represented by pointers to the CCriticalSection
object that is acquired. This does mean however that we need to clean up the
table entries that refer to any critical section which is destroyed, as it
memory address can potentially be used for another unrelated lock in the future.
Implement this clean up by remembering not only the pairs in forward direction,
but also backward direction. This allows for fast iteration over all pairs that
use a deleted CCriticalSection in either the first or the second position.
The current tests for varint only check that
serialization-deserialization is a roundtrip. That is a useful test, but
it is also good to check for some exact bit patterns, to prevent a code
change that changes the serialization format from going undetected.
As the varint functions are templated, also check with different types.
Currently, we're keeping a timeout for each requested block, starting
from when it is requested, with a correction factor for the number of
blocks in the queue.
That's unnecessarily complicated and inaccurate.
As peers process block requests in order, we can make the timeout for each
block start counting only when all previous ones have been received, and
have a correction based on the number of peers, rather than the total number
of blocks.
Two-line patch to make it possible to shut down bitcoind cleanly during
the initial ActivateBestChain.
Fixes#6459 (among other complaints).
To reproduce:
- shutdown bitcoind
- copy chainstate
- start bitcoind
- let the chain sync a bit
- shutdown bitcoind
- copy back old chainstate
- start bitcoind
- bitcoind will catch up with all blocks during Init()
(the `boost::this_thread::interruption_point` / `ShutdownRequested()`
dance is ugly, this should be refactored all over bitcoind at some point
when moving from boost::threads to c++11 threads, but it works...)
They claimed to be testing P2SH scripts with non-push scriptSigs, but
1) they were not enabling P2SH
2) they have push-only scriptSigs
Fix this, and add a few more related cases.
Split out methods to every module, apart from 'help' and 'stop' which
are implemented in rpcserver.cpp itself.
- This makes it easier to add or remove RPC commands - no longer everything that includes
rpcserver.h has to be rebuilt when there's a change there.
- Cleans up `rpc/server.h` by getting rid of the huge cluttered list of function definitions.
- Removes most of the bitcoin-specific code from rpcserver.cpp and .h.
Continues #7307 for the non-wallet.
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
The build date does only makes sense for custom/self-compiled bitcoin-core versions because we are using static build-dates for our deterministic release builds.
Having a quick option to get the current datadir is much more valuable for debug purposes.
