The test starts to become long to run and using the one main.cpp
hack we had removes our ability to select one test to run, so lets
go back to one executable per class.
For the txid/fee index we do a bit more than we can do for shallow block
validation.
Now we don't actually fully validate all transactions when this index is
enabled, we just fetch the fees.
The code that connects blocks together uses the block-hash (blockId) for
that, which we always just created on the fly.
Instead store the blockId on the state and in that way make adding
headers not entirely in-sequence be 10 times as fast.
Additionally, we wait with actual validation after a reindex until the
files are all found because otherwise we can't save the meta blocks.
This adds an option to the GetTransaction Flowee API to return the fees
for a whole transaction.
Support for this is added in the Blockchain (searcher) and the
RestService components.
Notice that no fees will be returned if the BlockMetaData was not
created properly.
this allows the user to ensure the metadata blocks fetch the previous
transaction in order to calculate the transaction-fee.
Normally this is skipped for transactions we don't need to do the script
validation for (old blocks).
[code-quality]
We got a warning about a dereference of a nullptr. But that implied we
have an impossible combination of member variables.
So, lets assert on that being impossible so;
a) we get a fail-fast if this ever happens.
b) the static code checker will stop warning us.
Notice that asserts are compiled out of release executables. So this is
effectively a no-op for releases.
People all over the Internet, including on the BCH spec, seem confused
about these enum values. They think they are opcodes.
So lets be clear and rename them to the thing they are. Placeholders or
a return-code.
This introduces several options for public node operators to limit their
nodes usage by 3rd parties, this is aimed at usage of resource-hungry
areas.
We allow limiting the amount of connections any single IP can keep open
with us.
We limit the amount of reconnects we allow in a short number of seconds.
We allow limiting the number of addresses (or scriptHashes) a peer can
register for the node to scan.
The last one is for both the addressMonitorService as well as for the
getBlock filters.
For node operators these items become available using command line
options or config-file options. By default these limits are unlimited as
we assume default usage to be private.
