b81560029 Remove CombineSignatures and replace tests (Andrew Chow) ed94c8b55 Replace CombineSignatures with ProduceSignature (Andrew Chow) 0422beb9b Make SignatureData able to store signatures and scripts (Andrew Chow) b6edb4f5e Inline Sign1 and SignN (Andrew Chow) Pull request description: Currently CombineSignatures is used to create the final scriptSig or an input. However ProduceSignature is capable of doing this itself. Using both CombineSignatures and ProduceSignature results in code duplication which is unnecessary. To move the scriptSig construction to ProduceSignatures, the SignatureData class contains two maps to hold pubkeys mapped to signatures, and script ids mapped to scripts. DataFromTransaction is extended to be able to extract signatures, their public keys, and scripts from existing ScriptSigs. The SignaureData are then passed down to SignStep which can use the aforementioned maps to get the signatures, pubkeys, and scripts that it needs, falling back to the actual SigningProvider and SignatureCreator if the data are not available in the SignatureData. Additionally, Sign1 and SignN have been removed and their functionality inlined into SignStep since Sign1 is really just a wrapper around CreateSig. Since ProduceSignature can produce the final scriptSig or scriptWitness by using SignatureData which has extracted data from the transaction, CombineSignatures is unnecessary as ProduceSignature is able to replicate all of CombineSignatures' functionality. This also furthers BIP 174 support and begins moving towards a BIP 174 style backend. The tests have also been updated to use the new combining methodology.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoin.org/en/download, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
