If we're to receive some 500 headers (less than `headerBatchCount`) and quit
before receiving more of them we end up with clean `bc.headerList` that will
be inited going backwards to the `targetHash`, but code path doesn't add add
the `targetHash` itself which it should do in this particular case, otherwise
we end with no genesis block hash in the list.
Missing it the following line could fail on subsequent restarts:
currHeaderHeight, currHeaderHash, err := storage.CurrentHeaderHeight(bc.store)
if the node was stopped before any headers had been received.
Extend Blockchainer with one more method to spawn a VM for test runs and use
it to run scripts. Gas consumption is not counted or limited in any way at the
moment (see #424).
VM should be responsible for code execution and in case anyone interested in additional logging or errors they could handle them like we do it iin cli.
We're about stored values here, so print those, which avoids blocking in
bc.HeaderHeight() and removes duplication between blockHeight and
persistedHeight. Fixes saving the blockchain on exit (deferred function in
Run() blocked in persist()).
Test modification was required because storeBlocks() doesn't actually save
headers and thus TestGetTransaction started to fail on persist().
If you're to sync less than 2000 headers no batched header key-value is
gonna be written into the DB and init() would panic because
bc.headerList.Len() would return 0. Use genesis block as a target in this
case.
commit methods duplicated putSmthIntoStore functions, but have MemCachedStore
now that can easily substitute for a Batch, especially given that interop
needs something like that for its storage purposes anyway.
This adds the following verifications:
* merkleroot check
* index check
* timestamp check
* witnesses verification
VerifyWitnesses is also renamed to verifyTxWitnesses here to not confuse it
with verifyBlockWitnesse and to hide it from external access (no users at the
moment).
Enable transaction verification for privnets and tests, testnet can't
successfuly verify block number 316711 with it enabled and mainnet stops at
105829.
We want to get a full block, so it has to have transactions
inside. Unfortunately our tests were used to this wrong behavior and utilized
completely bogus transactions without data that couldn't be persisted, so fix
that also.
PublishTX only had one of these flags, but newer contracts (created via the
interop function) can have more and these flags are aggregated into one field
that uses PropertyState enumeration (it's used to publish contract, so
supposedly it's also a nice choice for contract state storage).
Script can return non-bool results that can still be converted to bool
according to the usual VM rules. Unfortunately Bool() panics if this
conversion fails which is OK for things done in vm.execute(), but certainly
not for VerifyWitnesses(), thus there is a need for TryBool() that will just
return an error in this case.
If the block references two ouputs in some other transaction the code failed
to verify it because of key collision. C# code implements it properly by using
full CoinReference type as a key, so let's do it in a similar fashion.
Claim transactions have different logic in C# node, so we need to
implement it too. It's not the most elegant way to fix it, but let's make it
work first and then refactor if and where needed. Fixes verification of Claim
transactions.
Commit 578ac414d4 was wrong in that it saved
only a part of the block, so depending on how you use blockchain, you may
still see that the block was not really processed properly. To really fix it
this commit introduces intermediate storage layer in form of memStore, which
actually is a MemoryStore that supports full Store API (thus easily fitting
into the existing code) and one extension that allows it to flush its data to
some other Store.
It also changes AddBlock() semantics in that it only accepts now successive
blocks, but when it does it guarantees that they're properly added into the
Blockchain and can be referred to in any way. Pending block queing is now
moved into the server (see 8c0c055ac657813fe3ed10257bce199e9527d5ed).
So the only thing done with persist() now is just a move from memStore to
Store which probably should've always been the case (notice also that
previously headers and some other metadata was written into the Store
bypassing caching/batching mechanism thus leading to some inefficiency).
This changes the Blockchain to also return unpersisted (theoretically, verified
in the AddBlock!) blocks and transactions, making Add/Get interfaces
symmetrical. It allows to turn Persist into internal method again and makes it
possible to enable transaction check in GetBlock(), thus fixing #366.
