This resolves a case in which a mismatch could be used to bloat up the
mempool by sending transactions that pay enough fee to relay, but not
to be mined, with the default policies.
Amend to d5f1e72. It turns out that BerkelyDB was including inttypes.h
indirectly, so we cannot fix this with just macros.
Trivial commit: apply the following script to all .cpp and .h files:
# Middle
sed -i 's/"PRIx64"/x/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRIu64"/u/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRId64"/d/g' "$1"
# Initial
sed -i 's/PRIx64"/"x/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/PRIu64"/"u/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/PRId64"/"d/g' "$1"
# Trailing
sed -i 's/"PRIx64/x"/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRIu64/u"/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRId64/d"/g' "$1"
After this commit, `git grep` for PRI.64 should turn up nothing except
the defines in util.h.
As the tinyformat-based formatting system (introduced in b77dfdc) is
type-safe, no special format characters are needed to specify sizes.
Tinyformat can support (ignore) the C99 prefixes such as "ll" but
chokes on MSVC's inttypes.h defines prefixes such as "I64X". So don't
include inttypes.h and define our own for compatibility.
(an alternative would be to sweep the entire codebase using sed -i to
get rid of the size specifiers but this has less diff impact)
Extend CMerkleTx::GetDepthInMainChain with the concept of
a "conflicted" transaction-- a transaction generated by the wallet
that is not in the main chain or in the mempool, and, therefore,
will likely never be confirmed.
GetDepthInMainChain() now returns -1 for conflicted transactions
(0 for unconfirmed-but-in-the-mempool, and >1 for confirmed).
This makes getbalance, getbalance '*', and listunspent all agree when there are
mutated transactions in the wallet.
Before:
listunspent: one 49BTC output
getbalance: 96 BTC (change counted twice)
getbalance '*': 46 BTC (spends counted twice)
After: all agree, 49 BTC available to spend.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
Keep track of which block is being requested (and to be requested) from
each peer, and limit the number of blocks in-flight per peer. In addition,
detect stalled downloads, and disconnect if they persist for too long.
This means blocks are never requested twice, and should eliminate duplicate
downloads during synchronization.
In case the total number of orphan blocks in memory exceeds a limit
(currently set to 750), a random orphan block (which is not
depended on by another orphan block) is dropped. This means it will
need to be downloaded again, but it won't consume memory until then.
This changes the block processing logic from "try to atomically switch
to a new block" to a continuous "(dis)connect a block, aiming for the
assumed best chain".
This means the smallest atomic operations on the chainstate become
individual block connections or disconnections, instead of entire
reorganizations. It may mean that we try to reorganize to one block,
fail, and rereorganize again to the old block. This is slower, but
doesn't require unbounded RAM.
It also means that a ConnectBlock which fails may be no longer called
from the ProcessBlock which knows which node sent it. To deal with that,
a mapBlockSource is kept, and invalid blocks cause asynchronous "reject"
messages and banning (if necessary).
Previously CreateNewBlock() didn't take into account the fact that
IsFinalTx() without any arguments tests if the transaction is considered
final in the *current* block, when both those functions really needed to
know if the transaction would be final in the *next* block.
Additionally the UI had a similar misunderstanding.
Also adds some basic tests to check that CreateNewBlock() is in fact
mining nLockTime-using transactions correctly.
Thanks to Wladimir J. van der Laan for rebase.
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
There were quite a few places where assert() was used with side effects,
making operation with NDEBUG non-functional. This commit fixes all the
cases I know about, but also adds an #error on NDEBUG because the code
is untested without assertions and may still have vulnerabilities if
used without assert.
This dead code can be resurrected from git history if
transaction replacement is ever implemented. Keeping
dead code in the source is a bad idea, because it implies
it was tested and worked at some point, which is not true.
The last fee drop was by 5x (from 50k satoshis to 10k satoshis)
in the 0.8.2 release which was about 6 months ago.
The current fee is (assuming a $500 exchange rate) about 5 dollar
cents. The new fee after this patch is 0.5 cents.
Miners who prefer the higher fees are obviously still able to
use the command line flags to override this setting. Miners who
choose to create smaller blocks will select the highest-fee paying
transactions anyway.
This would hopefully be the last manual adjustment ever required
before floating fees become normal.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
As block index entries have a flag for marking invalid blocks, the
'best invalid work' information can be derived from there. In addition,
remove the global from main.h
- re-work -debug help message text
- make -debug log every debugging information again (even all categories)
- remove unneeded fDebug checks in front of LogPrint()/qDebug(), as that
check is done in LogPrintf() when category is != NULL (true for all
LogPrint() calls
- remove fDebug ONLY in code which is NOT performance-critical
- harmonize addrman category name
- deprecate -debugnet usage, should be used via -debug=net and remove the
corresponding global
Instead of explicitly testing for the presence of any output, and
dealing with this case specially, just interpret it as an empty
CCoins.
The case previously caught using the HaveCoins check, is now handled
by the generic outs != outsBlock test.
This required some code movement (what was CWalletTx::AcceptToMemoryPool
doing in main?), and adding a few explicit includes that used to be
implicit through init.h.
