Move the txid duplicates check into BuildMerkleTree, where it can be done
much more efficiently (without needing to build a full txid set to detect
duplicates).
The previous version (using the std::set<uint256> to detect duplicates) was
also slightly too weak. A block mined with actual duplicate transactions
(which is invalid, due to the inputs of the duplicated transactions being
seen as double spends) would trigger the duplicates logic, resulting in the
block not being stored on disk, and rerequested. This change fixes that by
only triggering in the case of duplicated transactions that can actually
result in an identical merkle root.
Instead of storing CCoins entries directly in CCoinsMap, store a CCoinsCacheEntry
which additionally keeps track of whether a particular entry is:
* dirty: potentially different from its parent view.
* fresh: the parent view is known to not have a non-pruned version.
This allows us to skip non-dirty cache entries when pushing batches of changes up,
and to remove CCoins entries about transactions that are fully spent before the
parent cache learns about them.
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.
Replace the mutable non-copying GetCoins method with a ModifyCoins, which
returns an encapsulated iterator, so we can keep track of concurrent
modifications (as iterators can be invalidated by those) and run cleanup
code after a modification is finished.
This also removes the overloading of the 'GetCoins' name.
It's strange to be able to close these windows while there is work
in progress.
Also set Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose on both windows to make sure that they
are deleted eventually, no matter what happens.
Lots of people read the Bitcoin Core codebase to learn more about
crypto; better to warn about flaws explicitly so they don't blindly copy
the code for other uses and create broken systems.
Always make a pid file, not only when `-daemon` specified.
This is useful for troubleshooting, for attaching debuggers and loggers
and such.
- Write the pid file only after the datadir lock was acquired
- Don't create or remove a pid file on WIN32, and also don't show the option
