09ce3501fa2ea2885a857e380eddb74605f7038c fix: Make TxidFromString() respect string_view length (Hodlinator) 01e314ce0ae30228742b6f19d2f12a050ab97e4d refactor: Change base_blob::SetHex() to take std::string_view (Hodlinator) 2f5577dc2e7ba668798a89a2f6ef72795db6c285 test: uint256 - Garbage suffixes and zero padding (Hodlinator) f11f816800ac520064a1e96871d0b4cc9601ced7 refactor: Make uint256_tests no longer use deprecated BOOST_CHECK() (Hodlinator) f0eeee2dc1329b0647df09bea9ccc0395bb82698 test: Add test for TxidFromString() behavior (Ryan Ofsky) Pull request description: ### Problem Prior to this, `TxidFromString()` was passing `string_view::data()` into `uint256S()` which meant it would only receive the a naked `char*` pointer and potentially scan past the `string_view::length()` until it found a null terminator (or some other non-hex character). Appears to have been a fully dormant bug as callers were either passing a string literal or `std::string` directly to `TxidFromFromString()`, meaning a null terminator always existed at `pointer[length()]`. Bug existed since original merge of `TxidFromString()`. ### Solution Make `uint256S()` (and `base_blob::SetHex()`) take and operate on `std::string_view` instead of `const char*` and have `TxidFromString()` pass that in.

I think the current code changes are about as small as you could make to fix the bug without introducing a string copy, and the surrounding test improvements are all very nice and welcome.

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.
