request object before returning an error so that id value can
be used in the response.
Prior to this commit, RPC commands sent during Bitcoin's
warmup/startup phase were responded to with a JSON-RPC error
with an id of null, which violated the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec:
id: This member is REQUIRED. It MUST be the same as the value
of the id member in the Request Object. If there was an error
in detecting the id in the Request object (e.g. Parse
error/Invalid Request), it MUST be Null.
To determine the default for `-par`, the number of script verification
threads, use [boost:🧵:physical_concurrency()](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.physical_concurrency)
which counts only physical cores, not virtual cores.
Virtual cores are roughly a set of cached registers to avoid context
switches while threading, they cannot actually perform work, so spawning
a verification thread for them could even reduce efficiency and will put
undue load on the system.
Should fix issue #6358, as well as some other reported system overload
issues, especially on Intel processors.
The function was only introduced in boost 1.56, so provide a utility
function `GetNumCores` to fall back for older Boost versions.
New, undocumented-on-purpose -mocktime=timestamp command-line
argument to startup with mocktime set. Needed because
time-related blockchain sanity checks are done on startup, before a
test has a chance to make a setmocktime RPC call.
And changed the setmocktime RPC call so calling it will not result in
currently connected peers being disconnected due to inactivity timeouts.
Transactions that fail CLTV verification will be rejected from the
mempool, making it easy to test the feature. However blocks containing
"invalid" CLTV-using transactions will still be accepted; this is *not*
the soft-fork required to actually enable CLTV for production use.
<nLockTime> CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY -> <nLockTime>
Fails if tx.nLockTime < nLockTime, allowing the funds in a txout to be
locked until some block height or block time in the future is reached.
Only the logic and unittests are implemented; this commit does not have
any actual soft-fork logic in it.
Thanks to Pieter Wuille for rebase.
Credit goes to Gregory Maxwell for the suggestion of comparing the
argument against the transaction nLockTime rather than the current
time/blockheight directly.
When responding to a getblocks message, only return inv's as
long as we HAVE_DATA for blocks in the chain, and only for blocks
that we aren't likely to delete in the near future.
- fixes#3136
- the problem is related to Boost path and a static initialized internal
pointer
- using a std::string in CDBEnv::EnvShutdown() prevents the problem
- this removes the boost::filesystem::path path field from CDBEnv
For leveldb "An iterator operates on a snapshot of the database taken
when the iterator is created". This means that it is unnecessary to
lock out other threads while computing statistics, and neither to hold
cs_main for the whole time. Let the thread run free.
- rpcwallet: No need to lock twice here
- openssl: Clang doesn't understand selective lock/unlock here. Ignore it.
- CNode: Fix a legitimate (though very unlikely) locking bug.
This allows us to use function/variable/class attributes to specify locking
requisites, allowing problems to be detected during static analysis.
This works perfectly with newer Clang versions (tested with 3.3-3.7). For older
versions (tested 3.2), it compiles fine but spews lots of false-positives.
Make it possible to opt-out of the centralized alert system by providing
an option `-noalerts` or `-alerts=0`. The default remains unchanged.
This is a gentler form of #6260, in which I went a bit overboard by
removing the alert system completely.
I intend to add this to the GUI options in another pull after this.
This sets aside a number of connection slots for whitelisted peers,
useful for ensuring your local users and miners can always get in,
even if your limit on inbound connections has already been reached.
Chance "getbalance *" not to use IsTrusted. The method and result
now match the "getbalance <specific-account>" behavior. In
particular, "getbalance * 0" now works.
Also fixed a comment -- GetGalance has required 1 confirmation
for many years, and the default "getbalance *" behavior matches
that.
Simplify and make the code in AppInit2 more clear.
This provides a straightforward flow, gets rid of .count() (which makes
it possible to override an earlier provided proxy option to nothing), as
well as comments the different cases.
