This will make bitcoin relay valid routable IPv6 addresses, and when
USE_IPV6 is enabled, listen on IPv6 interfaces and attempt connections
to IPv6 addresses.
FetchInputs already logs failures internally. This commit makes the logging
more consistent with other FetchInputs callsites also.
Prior to this commit, two log lines were logged for one condition:
ERROR: FetchInputs() : de15fde415 mempool Tx prev not found a2c75da227
ERROR: CTxMemPool::accept() : FetchInputs failed de15fde415
After this commit, only one line is logged:
ERROR: FetchInputs() : e0507ab2c7 mempool Tx prev not found 9a620262cd
Previously, a single TX would trigger two log lines in quick succession,
addUnchecked(): size 152
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted c4cfdd48b7
After this change, only one log line is used:
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 98885e65db (poolsz 26)
Pull request #948 introduced a fix for nodes stuck on a long side branch
of the main chain. The fix was non-functional however, as the additional
getdata request was created in a first step of processing, but dropped
in a second step as it was considered redundant. This commits fixes it
by sending the request directly.
Works for wallet transactions, memory-pool transaction and block chain
transactions.
Available for all:
* txid
* version
* locktime
* size
* coinbase/inputs/outputs
* confirmations
Available only for wallet transactions:
* amount
* fee
* details
* blockindex
Available for wallet transactions and block chain transactions:
* blockhash
* time
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.
Conflict:
* cs_main in ProcessMessages() (before calling ProcessMessages)
* cs_vSend in CNode::BeginMessage
versus:
* cs_vSend in ThreadMessageHandler2 (before calling SendMessages)
* cs_main in SendMessages
Even though cs_vSend is a try_lock, if it succeeds simultaneously with
the locking of cs_main in ProcessMessages(), it could cause a deadlock.
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.
Reference miner exists for testnet-in-a-box type situations, and as a
reference. We don't care enough about highly optimized internal
mining to keep workarounds like this.
Add a pong message that is sent in reply to a ping. It echoes back a nonce
field that is now added to the ping message. Send a nonce of zero in ping
messages.

Modified Mike's change to introduce a mild form of protocol documentation in
version.h.
Where possible, use boost::filesystem::path instead of std::string or
char* for filenames. This avoids a lot of manual string tinkering, in
favor of path::operator/.
GetDataDir is also reworked significantly, it now only keeps two cached
directory names (the network-specific data dir, and the root data dir),
which are decided through a parameter instead of pre-initialized global
variables.
Finally, remove the "upgrade from 0.1.5" case where a debug.log in the
current directory has to be 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.
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
In cases of very large reorganisations (hundreds of blocks), a situation
may appear where an 'inv' is sent as response to a 'getblocks', but the
last block mentioned in the inv is already known to the receiver node.
However, the supplying node uses a request for this last block as a
trigger to send the rest of the inv blocks. If it never comes, the block
chain download is stuck.
This commit makes the receiver node always request the last inv'ed block,
even if it is already known, to prevent this problem.
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.
Introduce the following network rule:
* a block is not valid if it contains a transaction whose hash
already exists in the block chain, unless all that transaction's
outputs were already spent before said block.
Warning: this is effectively a network rule change, with potential
risk for forking the block chain. Leaving this unfixed carries the
same risk however, for attackers that can cause a reorganisation
in part of the network.
Thanks to Russell O'Connor and Ben Reeves.
Doing so would allow an attack on old nodes, which would relay a
standard transaction spending a BIP16 output in an invalid way,
until reaching a new node, which will disconnect their peer.

Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
