This commit modifies the existing wire.Message interface to introduce a
new MessageEncoding variant which dictates the exact encoding to be
used when serializing and deserializing messages. Such an option is now
necessary due to the segwit soft-fork package, as btcd will need to be
able to optionally encode transactions/blocks without witness data to
un-upgraded peers.
Two new functions have been introduced: ReadMessageWithEncodingN and
WriteMessageWithEncodingN which wrap BtcDecode/BtcEncode with the
desired encoding format.
This commit adds all of the infrastructure needed to support BIP0009
soft forks.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Add new configuration options to the chaincfg package which allows the
rule deployments to be defined per chain
- Implement code to calculate the threshold state as required by BIP0009
- Use threshold state caches that are stored to the database in order
to accelerate startup time
- Remove caches that are invalid due to definition changes in the
params including additions, deletions, and changes to existing
entries
- Detect and warn when a new unknown rule is about to activate or has
been activated in the block connection code
- Detect and warn when 50% of the last 100 blocks have unexpected
versions.
- Remove the latest block version from wire since it no longer applies
- Add a version parameter to the wire.NewBlockHeader function since the
default is no longer available
- Update the miner block template generation code to use the calculated
block version based on the currently defined rule deployments and
their threshold states as of the previous block
- Add tests for new error type
- Add tests for threshold state cache
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
Since the protocol encodes timestamps differently depending on the
message, the code currently decodes into a local variable and then
converts it to a time.Time. However, this causes an allocation due to
the local having to escape to the heap in order for the readElement
function to write to it.
So, in order to avoid that, this introduces two new types for a
timestamp named uint32Time and int64Time that are encoded as the
respective type on the read. When calling the readElements function,
the time.Time field in the message is cast to a pointer of the
appropriate type which effectively allows the allocations to be avoided.
The following is a before and after comparison of the allocations
with the benchmarks that did not change removed:
benchmark old allocs new allocs delta
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ReadBlockHeader 1 0 -100.00%
DecodeHeaders 4001 2001 -49.99%
DecodeAddr 4001 3001 -24.99%
DecodeMerkleBlock 108 107 -0.93%
Also, update TravisCI goclean script to remove the special casing which
ignored 'Id' from the lint output since that exception is no longer
needed. It was previously required due to the old version of btcjson,
but that is no longer in the repo.
At the current time, there is no difference between the wire encoding
at protocol version 0 and the stable long-term storage format. These
methods are simply for consistency with the other types.
This commit removes the error returns from the BlockHeader.BlockSha,
MsgBlock.BlockSha, and MsgTx.TxSha functions since they can never fail and
end up causing a lot of unneeded error checking throughout the code base.
It also updates all call sites for the change.
This commit adds a new function which is similar to the DoubleSha256
function except it returns a ShaHash copy instead of a byte slice. It
also adds a new benchmark for it.
This can be a slight optimization in certain cases where the caller
ultimately wants a ShaHash since it can avoid a heap allocation and
additional copy to convert the result to a ShaHash (the function simply
performs a type cast against the returned array which is not possible
against a []byte).
existing: DoubleSha256 500000 3081 ns/op 32 B/op 1 allocs/op
new: DoubleSha256SH 500000 2939 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
The hashing functions for blocks and transactions have also been updated
to make use of the new function since they directly return the ShaHash.
The transaction change in particular is quite useful since transactions
are frequently hashed and this change allows all of those hashes to avoid
an additional heap allocation.
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.
