b81560029Remove CombineSignatures and replace tests (Andrew Chow)ed94c8b55Replace CombineSignatures with ProduceSignature (Andrew Chow)0422beb9bMake SignatureData able to store signatures and scripts (Andrew Chow)b6edb4f5eInline 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.

Compiling/running unit tests
Unit tests will be automatically compiled if dependencies were met in ./configure
and tests weren't explicitly disabled.
After configuring, they can be run with make check.
To run the bitcoind tests manually, launch src/test/test_bitcoin. To recompile
after a test file was modified, run make and then run the test again. If you
modify a non-test file, use make -C src/test to recompile only what's needed
to run the bitcoind tests.
To add more bitcoind tests, add BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE functions to the existing
.cpp files in the test/ directory or add new .cpp files that
implement new BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE sections.
To run the bitcoin-qt tests manually, launch src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt
To add more bitcoin-qt tests, add them to the src/qt/test/ directory and
the src/qt/test/test_main.cpp file.
Running individual tests
test_bitcoin has some built-in command-line arguments; for example, to run just the getarg_tests verbosely:
test_bitcoin --log_level=all --run_test=getarg_tests
... or to run just the doubledash test:
test_bitcoin --run_test=getarg_tests/doubledash
Run test_bitcoin --help for the full list.
Note on adding test cases
The sources in this directory are unit test cases. Boost includes a unit testing framework, and since bitcoin already uses boost, it makes sense to simply use this framework rather than require developers to configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating unit tests as possible).
The build system is setup to compile an executable called test_bitcoin
that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file is called
test_bitcoin.cpp. To add a new unit test file to our test suite you need
to add the file to src/Makefile.test.include. The pattern is to create
one test file for each class or source file for which you want to create
unit tests. The file naming convention is <source_filename>_tests.cpp
and such files should wrap their tests in a test suite
called <source_filename>_tests. For an example of this pattern,
examine uint256_tests.cpp.
