This resolves an issue where a wallet transaction which failed to
relay previously because it couldn't make it into the mempool
will not try again until restart, even though mempool conditions
may have changed.
Abandoned and known-conflicted transactions are skipped.
Some concern was expressed that there may be users with many
unknown conflicts would waste a lot of CPU time trying to
add them to their memory pools over and over again. But I am
doubtful these users exist in any number, if they do exist
they have worse problems, and they can mitigate any performance
issue this might have by abandoning the transactions in question.
This is another violation of the one definition rule, as the type
for mapOrphanTransactionsByPrev did not match the one in
net_processing.cpp anymore. As it now depends on a custom Iterator,
it seems too much hassle to correctly expose it to the tests.
Instead, this commit just removes the one test it was referenced in.
Add more comprehensive unit tests for CCoinsViewCache. Right now it is hard to
refactor caching code or fix bugs in the caching logic because you have to try
to mentally enumerate all the different states the cache might be in to make
sure a change doesn't cause unintended consequences. The new tests explicitly
enumerate relevant cache states, documenting and verifying the behavior in each
state, so it will be safer and easier to make changes to the caching code in
the future.
Sorry for the churn on this, but the current message (introduced in #9073)
isn't acceptable:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
rpc: couldn't connect to server
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port: -1 unknown)
Putting the error code after the words "RPC port" made me wonder whether
there was a port configuration issue.
This changes it to:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
As orphan state is now "network state", like in
d6ea737be1,
UnloadBlockIndex is only used during init if we end up reindexing
to clear our block state so that we can start over. However, at
that time no connections have been brought up as CConnman hasn't
been started yet, so all of the network processing state logic is
empty when its called.
This was misnamed, resulting in a warning message and missing
functionality. I'm not sure what the change in behavior will be here,
this needs testing.
Also remove connection to non-existing slot "test".
This was used for testing if the signal arrived. It is no
longer necessary.

Before daemonization, just probe the data directory lock and print an
early error message if possible.
After daemonization get the data directory lock again and hold on to it until exit
This creates a slight window for a race condition to happen, however this condition is harmless: it
will at most make us exit without printing a message to console.
