e10e1e8db043e9b7c113e07faf408f337c1b732d Restrict lifetime of ReserveDestination to CWallet::CreateTransaction (Gregory Sanders) d9ff862f2d24784ee081a8f62a76ffdfe409c10a CreateTransaction calls KeepDestination on ReserveDestination before success (Gregory Sanders) Pull request description: The typical usage pattern of `ReserveDestination` is to explicitly `KeepDestination`, or `ReturnDestination` when it's detected it will not be used. Implementers such as myself may fail to complete this pattern, and could result in key re-use: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15557#discussion_r271956393 Since ReserveDestination is currently only used directly in the `CreateTransaction`/`CommitTransaction` flow(or fee bumping where it's just used in `CreateTransaction`), I instead make the assumption that if a transaction is returned by `CreateTransaction` it's highly likely that it will be accepted by the caller, and the `ReserveDestination` kept. This simplifies the API as well. There are very few cases where this would not be the case which may result in keys being burned. Those failure cases appear to be: `CommitTransaction` failing to get the transaction into the mempool Belt and suspenders check in `WalletModel::prepareTransaction` Alternative to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15796 ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK e10e1e8db043e9b7c113e07faf408f337c1b732d Reviewed the diff stevenroose: utACK e10e1e8db043e9b7c113e07faf408f337c1b732d meshcollider: utACK e10e1e8db043e9b7c113e07faf408f337c1b732d Tree-SHA512: 78d047a00f39ab41cfa297052cc1e9c224d5f47d3d2299face650d71827635de077ac33fb4ab9f7dc6fc5a27f4a68415a1bc9ca33a3cb09a78f4f15b2a48411b
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://bitcoincore.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 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, 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.
