Note that the CScheduler thread cant be running at this point,
it has already been stopped with the rest of the init threadgroup.
Thus, just calling any remaining loose callbacks during Shutdown()
is sane.
Fixes:
init.cpp: In function ‘bool AppInitMain(boost::thread_group&, CScheduler&)’:
init.cpp:1499:56: warning: ‘nStart’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
LogPrintf(" block index %15dms\n", GetTimeMillis() - nStart);

This requires that we not access pcoinsTip in InitBlockIndex's
FlushStateToDisk (so we just skip it until later in AppInitMain)
and the LoadChainTip in LoadBlockIndex (which there is already one
later in AppinitMain, after ReplayBlocks, so skipping it there is
fine).
Includes some simplifications by Suhas Daftuar and Pieter Wuille.
Part of a series of changes to clean up the instantiation of connman
by decoupling the command line arguments.
We also now abort with an error when explicit binds are set with
-listen=0.
Use case: TryCreateDirectory(GetDataDir() / "blocks" / "index") would
fail if the blocks directory was not explicitly created before.
The line that did so was in a weird location and could be removed as a
result.
CCoinsViewCache doesn't actually support cursor iteration returning the
current contents of the cache, so raise an error when the cursor method is
called instead of returning a cursor that iterates over stale data.
Also update the gettxoutsetinfo RPC which was relying on the old behavior to be
explicit about which view it is returning data about.
This adds a new CuckooCache in validation, caching whether all of a
transaction's scripts were valid with a given set of script flags.
Unlike previous attempts at caching an entire transaction's
validity, which have nearly universally introduced consensus
failures, this only caches the validity of a transaction's
scriptSigs. As these are pure functions of the transaction and
data it commits to, this should be much safer.
This is somewhat duplicative with the sigcache, as entries in the
new cache will also have several entries in the sigcache. However,
the sigcache is kept both as ATMP relies on it and because it
prevents malleability-based DoS attacks on the new higher-level
cache. Instead, the -sigcachesize option is re-used - cutting the
sigcache size in half and using the newly freed memory for the
script execution cache.
Transactions which match the script execution cache never even have
entries in the script check thread's workqueue created.
Note that the cache is indexed only on the script execution flags
and the transaction's witness hash. While this is sufficient to
make the CScriptCheck() calls pure functions, this introduces
dependancies on the mempool calculating things such as the
PrecomputedTransactionData object, filling the CCoinsViewCache, etc
in the exact same way as ConnectBlock. I belive this is a reasonable
assumption, but should be noted carefully.
In a rather naive benchmark (reindex-chainstate up to block 284k
with cuckoocache always returning true for contains(),
-assumevalid=0 and a very large dbcache), this connected blocks
~1.7x faster.
This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
Mempool persistence was added in
3f78562df5, and is always on. This commit
introduces a command-line parameter -persistmempool, which defaults to
true. When set to false:
- mempool.dat is not loaded when the node starts.
- mempool.dat is not written when the node stops.
