Rather than storing ftell(3)'s return value -- a long -- in an
unsigned int, we store and check a properly typed temp. Then, assured a
non-negative value, we store in nBlockPosRet.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Open database once per "tx" message, rather than multiple times,
in the case of orphan transaction presence.
As a side effect, a now-unused CTransaction::AcceptToMemoryPool()
variant is removed.
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.
The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.
The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
Sometimes a new block arrives in a new chain that was already the
best valid one, but wasn't marked that way. This happens for example
when network rules change to recover after a fork.
In this case, it is not necessary to do the entire reorganisation
inside a single db commit. These can become huge, and exceed the
objects/lockers limits in bdb. This patch limits the blocks the
actual reorganisation is applied to, and adds the next blocks
afterwards in separate db transactions.
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.
so it takes a flag for how to interpret OP_EVAL.
Also increased IsStandard size of scriptSigs to 500 bytes, so
a 3-of-3 multisig transaction IsStandard.
OP_EVAL is a new opcode that evaluates an item on the stack as a script.
It enables a new type of bitcoin address that needs an arbitrarily
complex script to redeem.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
getmemorypool [data]
If [data] is not specified, returns data needed to construct a block to work on:
"version" : block version
"previousblockhash" : hash of current highest block
"transactions" : contents of non-coinbase transactions that should be included in the next block
"coinbasevalue" : maximum allowable input to coinbase transaction, including the generation award and transaction fees
"time" : timestamp appropriate for next block
"bits" : compressed target of next block
If [data] is specified, tries to solve the block and returns true if it was successful.
