init: limit bip30 exceptions to coinbase txs (Chris Geihsler)511eb7fdea
Ignore problematic blocks in DisconnectBlock (Chris Geihsler) Pull request description: Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22596 When using checklevel=4, block verification fails because of duplicate coinbase transactions involving blocks 91812 and 91722. There was already a check in place within `ConnectBlock` to ignore the problematic blocks, but `DisconnectBlock` did not contain a similar check to ignore these blocks when called from `VerifyDB`. By ignoring these two blocks in `DisconnectBlock`, the block verification process succeeds at checklevel=4. (Note to reviewers: this is my first contribution to Bitcoin Core, so any feedback is most welcome. Thanks in advance for reviewing!) ## Steps to reproduce: Use the following bitcoin.conf file and start bitcoind. I only used block data through block ~100000 so that the verification process was much faster. ``` assumevalid=0 checkblocks=0 checklevel=4 ``` Without this change, you will see the following error when the blocks are verified: ``` 2022-04-14T02:56:44Z init message: Verifying blocks… 2022-04-14T02:56:44Z Verifying last 101881 blocks at level 4 2022-04-14T02:56:44Z [0%]...[10%]...[20%]...[30%]...[40%]...ERROR: VerifyDB(): *** coin database inconsistencies found (last 10160 blocks, 142571 good transactions before that) 2022-04-14T02:57:01Z : Corrupted block database detected.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.
What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
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 (see doc/build-*.md
for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.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.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make 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.
