NOP1 to NOP10 are reserved for future soft-fork upgrades. In the event
of an upgrade such NOPs have *VERIFY behavior, meaning that if their
arguments are not correct the script fails. Discouraging these NOPs by
rejecting transactions containing them from the mempool ensures that
we'll never accept transactions, nor mine blocks, with scripts that are
now invalid according to the majority of hashing power even if we're not
yet upgraded. Previously this wasn't an issue as the IsStandard() rules
didn't allow upgradable NOPs anyway, but 7f3b4e95 relaxed the
IsStandard() rules for P2SH redemptions allowing any redeemScript to be
spent.
We *do* allow upgradable NOPs in scripts so long as they are not
executed. This is harmless as there is no opportunity for the script to
be invalid post-upgrade.
* Delete canonical_tests.cpp, and move the tests to script_tests.cpp.
* Split off SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG from SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC (the BIP62 part of it).
* Change signature STRICTENC/DERSIG semantics to fail the script entirely rather than the CHECKSIG result (softfork safety, and BIP62 requirement).
* Add many autogenerated tests for several odd cases.
* Mention specific BIP62 rules in the script verification flags.
All direct modifications are now done through ModifyCoins, and BatchWrite is
used for pushing batches of queued modifications up, so we don't need the
low-level SetCoins and SetBestBlock anymore in the top-level CCoinsView class.
This is a source of transaction mutability as the dummy value was
previously not checked and could be modified to something other than the
usual OP_0 value.

Fixes#3848
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.
This change moves test data into the binaries rather than reading them from
the disk at runtime.
Advantages:
- Tests become distributable
- Cross-compile friendly. Build on one machine and execute in an arbitrary
location on another.
- Easier testing for backports. Users can verify that tests pass without having
to track down corresponding test data.
- More trustworthy test results and easier quality assurance as tests make
fewer assumptions about their environment.
- Tests could theoretically run at client/daemon startup and exit on failure.
Disadvantages:
- Required 'hexdump' build-dependency. This is a standard bsd tool that should
be usable everywhere. It is likely already installed on all build-machines.
- Tests can no longer be fudged after build by altering test-data.
Removed AreInputsStandard from CTransaction, made it a regular function in main.
Moved CTransaction::GetOutputFor to CCoinsViewCache.
Moved GetLegacySigOpCount and GetP2SHSigOpCount out of CTransaction into regular functions in main.
Moved GetValueIn and HaveInputs from CTransaction into CCoinsViewCache.
Moved AllowFree, ClientCheckInputs, CheckInputs, UpdateCoins, and CheckTransaction out of CTransaction and into main.
Moved IsStandard and IsFinal out of CTransaction and put them in main as IsStandardTx and IsFinalTx. Moved GetValueOut out of CTransaction into main. Moved CTxIn, CTxOut, and CTransaction into core.
Added minimum fee parameter to CTxOut::IsDust() temporarily until CTransaction is moved to core.h so that CTxOut needn't know about CTransaction.
These flags select features to be enabled/disabled during script
evaluation/checking, instead of several booleans passed along.
Currently these flags are defined:
* SCRIPT_VERIFY_P2SH: enable BIP16-style subscript evaluation
* SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC: enforce strict adherence to pubkey/sig encoding standards.
To prevent excessive copying of CCoins in and out of the CCoinsView
implementations, introduce a GetCoins() function in CCoinsViewCache
with returns a direct reference. The block validation and connection
logic is updated to require caching CCoinsViews, and exploits the
GetCoins() function heavily.
This switches bitcoin's transaction/block verification logic to use a
"coin database", which contains all unredeemed transaction output scripts,
amounts and heights.
The name ultraprune comes from the fact that instead of a full transaction
index, we only (need to) keep an index with unspent outputs. For now, the
blocks themselves are kept as usual, although they are only necessary for
serving, rescanning and reorganizing.
The basic datastructures are CCoins (representing the coins of a single
transaction), and CCoinsView (representing a state of the coins database).
There are several implementations for CCoinsView. A dummy, one backed by
the coins database (coins.dat), one backed by the memory pool, and one
that adds a cache on top of it. FetchInputs, ConnectInputs, ConnectBlock,
DisconnectBlock, ... now operate on a generic CCoinsView.
The block switching logic now builds a single cached CCoinsView with
changes to be committed to the database before any changes are made.
This means no uncommitted changes are ever read from the database, and
should ease the transition to another database layer which does not
support transactions (but does support atomic writes), like LevelDB.
For the getrawtransaction() RPC call, access to a txid-to-disk index
would be preferable. As this index is not necessary or even useful
for any other part of the implementation, it is not provided. Instead,
getrawtransaction() uses the coin database to find the block height,
and then scans that block to find the requested transaction. This is
slow, but should suffice for debug purposes.
This introduces internal types:
* CKeyID: reference (hash160) of a key
* CScriptID: reference (hash160) of a script
* CTxDestination: a boost::variant of the former two
CBitcoinAddress is retrofitted to be a Base58 encoding of a
CTxDestination. This allows all internal code to only use the
internal types, and only have RPC and GUI depend on the base58 code.
Furthermore, the header dependencies are a lot saner now. base58.h is
at the top (right below rpc and gui) instead of at the bottom. For the
rest: wallet -> script -> keystore -> key. Only keystore still requires
a forward declaration of CScript. Solving that would require splitting
script into two layers.
This also removes an un-needed sigops-per-byte check when accepting transactions to the memory pool (un-needed assuming only standard transactions are being accepted). And it only counts P2SH sigops after the switchover date.
