go vet is not happy about them:
pkg/io/binaryReader.go:92:21: method ReadByte() byte should have signature ReadByte() (byte, error)
pkg/io/binaryWriter.go:75:21: method WriteByte(u8 byte) should have signature WriteByte(byte) error
This seriously improves the serialization/deserialization performance for
several reasons:
* no time spent in `binary` reflection
* no memory allocations being made on every read/write
* uses fast ReadBytes everywhere it's appropriate
It also makes Fixed8 Serializable just for convenience.
It reduces heap pressure a little for these elements as we don't have to
allocate/free them individually. And they're directly tied to transactions or
block, not being shared or anything like that, so it makes little sense for
them to be pointer-based. It only makes building transactions a little easier,
but that's obviously a minor usecase.
It's mostly used for Serializable and in other cases where one needs to
estimate binary-encoded size of the stucture. This also simplifies future
removal of the Size() from Serializable.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
Fixes things like:
* exported type/method/function X should have comment or be unexported
* comment on exported type/method/function X should be of the form "X ..."
(with optional leading article)
Refs. #213.
Simplifies a lot of code and removes some duplication. Unfortunately I had to
move test_util random functions in same commit to avoid cycle
dependencies. One of these random functions was also used in core/transaction
testing, to simplify things I've just dropped it there and used a static
string (which is nice to have for a test anyway).
There is still sha256 left in wallet (but it needs to pass Hash structure into
the signing function).
* Added new config attributes: 'SecondsPerBlock','LowPriorityThreshold'
* Added new files:
* Added new method: CompareTo
* Fixed empty Slice case
* Added new methods: LessThan, GreaterThan, Equal, CompareTo
* Added new method: InputIntersection
* Added MaxTransactionSize, GroupOutputByAssetID
* Added ned method: ScriptHash
* Added new method: IsDoubleSpend
* Refactor blockchainer, Added Feer interface, Verify and GetMemPool method
* 1) Added MemPool
2) Added new methods to satisfy the blockchainer interface: IsLowPriority, Verify, GetMemPool
* Added new methods: RelayTxn, RelayDirectly
* Fixed tests
* Implemented RPC server method sendrawtransaction
* Refactor getrawtransaction, sendrawtransaction in separate methods
* Moved 'secondsPerBlock' to config file
* Implemented Kim suggestions:
1) Fixed data race issues
2) refactor Verify method
3) Get rid of unused InputIntersection method due to refactoring Verify method
4) Fixed bug in https://github.com/CityOfZion/neo-go/pull/174#discussion_r264108135
5) minor simplications of the code
* Fixed minor issues related to
1) space
2) getter methods do not need pointer on the receiver
3) error message
4) refactoring CompareTo method in uint256.go
* Fixed small issues
* Use sync.RWMutex instead of sync.Mutex
* Refined (R)Lock/(R)Unlock
* return error instead of bool in Verify methods
* Added utility function GetVarSize
* 1) Added Size method: this implied that Fixed8 implements now the serializable interface. 2) Added few arithmetic operation (Add, Sub, div): this will be used to calculated networkfeeand feePerByte. Changed return value of the Value() method to int instead of int64. Modified fixed8_test accordingly.
* Implemented Size or MarshalJSON method.
- Structs accepting the Size method implement the serializable interface.
- Structs accepting the MarshalJSON method implements the customized json marshaller interface.
* Added fee calculation
* Implemented rcp server method GetRawTransaction
* Updated Tests
* Fixed:
1) NewFixed8 will accept as input int64
2) race condition affecting configDeafault, blockchainDefault
* Simplified Size calculation
* 1) Removed global variable blockchainDefault, configDefault
2) Extended Blockchainer interface to include the methods: References, FeePerByte, SystemFee, NetworkFee
3) Deleted fee_test.go, fee.go. Moved corresponding methods to blockchain_test.go and blockchain.go respectively
4) Amended tx_raw_output.go
* Simplified GetVarSize Method
* Replaced ValueAtAndType with ValueWithType

* added enrollment TX
* added persist of accounts and unspent coins
* bumped version -> 0.32.0
* Created test_data folder with block json files for testing + create separate file for block base.
* Fixed bug in WriteVarUint + Trim logic + unit tests
