This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
Putting the test code in the same package makes it easier for forks
since they don't have to change the import paths as much and it also
gets rid of the need for internal_test.go to bridge.
This same thing should probably be done for the majority of the code
base.
This commit exports the ReadVarString and WriteVarString functions so
they are available for callers to use.
A variable length string is encoded as a variable length integer
containing the length of the string followed by the bytes that represent
the string itself.
The Bitcoin wire protocol includes several fields with their lengths
encoded according to a variable length integer encoding scheme that does
not enforce a unique encoding for all numbers.
This can lead to a situation where deserializing and re-serializing the
same data can result in different bytes. There are no currently known
issues due to this, but it is safer to reject such subtle differences as
they could potentially lead to exploits.
Consequently, this commit modifies the varint decoding function to error
when the value is not canonically encoded which effectively means that
all messages with varints that are not canonically encoded will now be
rejected. This will not cause issues with old client versions in
regards to blocks and transactions since the data is deserialized into
memory and then reserialized before being relayed thereby effectively
erasing any non-canonical encodings.
Also, new tests have been added to ensure non-canonical encodings are
properly rejected and exercise the new code, and the default user agent
version for wire has been bumped to version 0.2.1 to differentiate the
new behavior.
The equivalent logic was implemented in Bitcoin Core by PR 2884.
This commit contains the entire btcwire repository along with several
changes needed to move all of the files into the wire directory in
order to prepare it for merging. This does NOT update btcd or any of the
other packages to use the new location as that will be done separately.
- All import paths in the old btcwire test files have been changed to the
new location
- All references to btcwire as the package name have been chagned to
wire
- The coveralls badge has been removed since it unfortunately doesn't
support coverage of sub-packages
This is ongoing work toward #214.
