Split GetNextWorkRequired() into two functions to allow the difficulty calculations to
be tested without requiring a full blockchain.
Add unit tests to cover basic difficulty calculation, plus each of the min/max actual
time, and maximum difficulty target conditions.
This reverts commit 1078fb0885 (and thus
pull #5623). It has various issues:
- Pull request names get cut off at ", see e.g. a026a56
- Merge script no longer copes with pulls that have a milestone
attached, due to a duplicate 'title' in JSON that is not handled by the
ad-hoc parsing.
This makes it easier for us to replace it if desired, since it's now only in
one spot. Also, it avoids the openssl include from allocators.h, which
essentially forced openssl to be included from every compilation unit.
Since permissions and timestamps are changed for the sake of determinism,
. must not be added to the archive. Otherwise, tar may try to modify pwd when
extracting.
The fix to NegateSignatureS caused a test which had been failing
in IsValidSignatureEncoding to then fail in IsLowDERSignature.
Add new test so the original check remains exercised.
NegateSignatureS is called with a signature without a hashtype, so
do not save the last byte and append it after S negation.
Updates the two tests which were affected by this bug.
Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without
sanitizing or hex encoding. This wasn't done for strcommand in many places.
This could be used to play havoc with a terminal displaying the logs,
especially with printtoconsole in use.
Thanks to Evil-Knievel for reporting this issue.
The only time when a client sends a "getaddr" message is when he
esatblishes an Outbound connection (see ProcessMessage() in
src/main.cpp). Another bitcoin client is expected to receive a
"getaddr" message only on Inbound connection. Ignoring "gettaddr"
requests on Outbound connections can resolve potential privacy issues
(and as was said such request normally do not happen anyway).
- rework the function to not log errors but use throw JSONRPCError
- remove a check for IsLocked() that is done in sendtoaddress and
sendfrom RPC calls already
- cache GetBalance() return value, because it's possibly used twice
Bitcoin amounts are stored as uint64 in the protobuf messages (see
paymentrequest.proto), but CAmount is defined as int64_t. Because
of that we need to verify that single and accumulated amounts are
in a valid range and no variable overflow has happened.
- fixes#5624 (#5622)
Thanks @SergioDemianLerner for reporting that issue and also supplying us
with a possible solution.
- add static verifyAmount() function to PaymentServer and move the logging
on error into the function
- also add a unit test to paymentservertests.cpp
