There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.
CreateNewBlock returns a pointer for which the caller takes ownership.
Use std::unique_ptr to make this explicit and simplify handling of these
objects in getblocktemplate.
Split out methods to every module, apart from 'help' and 'stop' which
are implemented in rpcserver.cpp itself.
- This makes it easier to add or remove RPC commands - no longer everything that includes
rpcserver.h has to be rebuilt when there's a change there.
- Cleans up `rpc/server.h` by getting rid of the huge cluttered list of function definitions.
- Removes most of the bitcoin-specific code from rpcserver.cpp and .h.
Continues #7307 for the non-wallet.
Store sum of legacy and P2SH sig op counts. This is calculated in AcceptToMemory pool and storing it saves redoing the expensive calculation in block template creation.
1) Chainparams: Explicit CChainParams arg for main:
-AcceptBlock
-AcceptBlockHeader
-ActivateBestChain
-ConnectTip
-InitBlockIndex
-LoadExternalBlockFile
-VerifyDB parametric constructor
2) Also pickup more Params()\. in main.cpp
3) Pass nPruneAfterHeight explicitly to new FindFilesToPrune() in main.cpp
Compute the value of inputs that already are in the chain at time of mempool entry and only increase priority due to aging for those inputs. This effectively changes the CTxMemPoolEntry's GetPriority calculation from an upper bound to a lower bound.
As suggested by Greg Maxwell-- unit test to make sure a block
with a double-spend in it doesn't pass validation if half of
the double-spend is already in the memory pool (so full-blown
transaction validation is skipped) when the block is received.
libsecp256k1's API changed, so update key.cpp to use it.
Libsecp256k1 now has explicit context objects, which makes it completely thread-safe.
In turn, keep an explicit context object in key.cpp, which is explicitly initialized
destroyed. This is not really pretty now, but it's more efficient than the static
initialized object in key.cpp (which made for example bitcoin-tx slow, as for most of
its calls, libsecp256k1 wasn't actually needed).
This also brings in the new blinding support in libsecp256k1. By passing in a random
seed, temporary variables during the elliptic curve computations are altered, in such
a way that if an attacker does not know the blind, observing the internal operations
leaks less information about the keys used. This was implemented by Greg Maxwell.
The environment is prepared by the main thread to guard against invalid locale settings and to prevent deinitialization issues of Boost path, which can result in app crashes.
This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.
Make sure that chainparams and logging is properly initialized. Doing
this for every test may be overkill, but this initialization is so
simple that that does not matter.
This should fix the travis issues.
UNITTEST parameter are not used by any current tests, and the model
(modifyable parameters) is inconvenient when unit-testing. As
they are stored in a global structure eevery test
would have to (re)set up its own parameters.
For consistency it is also better to test with MAIN parameters.
