For an abstract class, specifying parameters in detail serves no point;
and for the concrete implementation, changing the consensus parameters
between invocations doesn't make sense. So simplify the class by removing
the consensus params from the method arguments, and just make it a member
variable in the concrete object where needed. This also allows dropping
dummy parameters from the unit/fuzz tests.
This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.
This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.
On a period boundary, getdeploymentinfo (and previously getblockchaininfo)
would report the status and statistics for the next block rather than
the current block. Change this to always report the status/statistics
of the current block, but add status-next to report the status for the
next block.
Blindly chose a cap of 10000 iterations for every loop, except for
the two in script_ops.cpp and scriptnum_ops.cpp which appeared to
(sometimes) be deserializing individual bytes; capped those to one
million to ensure that sometimes we try working with massive scripts.
There was also one fuzzer-controlled loop in timedata.cpp which was
already capped, so I left that alone.
git grep 'while (fuzz' should now run clean except for timedata.cpp
This removes the DEFINED->FAILED transition and changes the
STARTED->FAILED transition to only occur if signalling didn't pass the
threshold. This ensures that it is always possible for activation to
occur, no matter what settings are chosen, or the speed at which blocks
are found.
Previously we used deployments that would timeout prior to Bitcoin's
invention, which allowed the deployment to still be activated in unit
tests. This switches those deployments to be truly never active.
