The implementation of base_uint::operator++(int) and base_uint::operator--(int) is now safer.
Array pn is accessed via index i after bounds checking has been performed on the index, rather than before.
The logic of the while loops has also been made more clear.
A compile time assertion has been added in the class constructors to ensure that BITS is a positive multiple of 32.
Three categories of modifications:
1)
1 instance of 'The Bitcoin Core developers \n',
1 instance of 'the Bitcoin Core developers\n',
3 instances of 'Bitcoin Core Developers\n', and
12 instances of 'The Bitcoin developers\n'
are made uniform with the 443 instances of 'The Bitcoin Core developers\n'
2)
3 instances of 'BitPay, Inc\.\n' are made uniform with the other 6
instances of 'BitPay Inc\.\n'
3)
4 instances where there was no '(c)' between the 'Copyright' and the year
where it deviates from the style of the local directory.
Remove initialization from vector (as this is only used in the tests).
Also implement SetHex and GetHex in terms of uint256, to avoid
duplicate code as well as avoid endianness issues (as they
work in term of bytes).
- Methods that access the guts of arith_uint256 are removed,
as these are incompatible between endians. Use uint256 instead
- Serialization is no longer needed as arith_uint256's are never
read or written
- GetHash is never used on arith_uint256
