Tx pool takes some parameters as trait objects. It's not an idiomatic Rust code, in this particular case we should use generic types. Trait object makes sense when we accept in runtime different concrete types which implement the trait as a value of the same field. It's not the case here. Trait objects come with a price - instead of method dispatch in compile time we have to accept runtime dispatch. My guess we did it to not clutter the code with type parameters, which is understandable but still suboptimal.
Currently we pass a Vec. This requires an extra allocation and copy of all elements if a caller doesn't have a Vec already, which is at least 95% of cases.
Another, a smaller issue, we have a function util::to_hex and some structs implement to_hex() on top of it, so we have a mix of it in the code. This PR introduces a trait and a blanket impl for AsRef<[u8]> which brings a uniform API (obj.to_hex()). One unfortunate case is arrays of size bigger than 32 - Rust doesn't implement AsRef for them so it requires an ugly hack (&array[..]).to_hex().
* Refactor SyncState
Method sync_error() retrun type was simplified.
update_txhashset_download() was made type safe, which eliminates a runtime enum variant's check, added an atomic status update
* Node API: don't error on missing output
* Propagate errors from get_output*
* Rename is_unspent and small refactor
* Forgot to rename function in tests
* Change Batch get_output_pos_height type signature
* no need to rehash with index to compare output with input spending it
* compare output identifier when checking is_unspent()
* output identifier from cleanup
* first pass at rewind_single_block
and reworking rewind to simply iterate over blocks, rewinding each incrementally
* commit
* commit
* cleanup
* add test coverage for output_pos index transactional semantics during rewind
* commit
* do not store commitments in spent_index
just use the order of the inputs in the block
* compare key with commitment when cleaning output_pos index
* remove unused OutputPos struct
* Node API v2
* Update gitignore
* Add get_pmmr_indices method
* Add Foreign and Owner API each one with specific secret
* Fix failing tests
* Revert to 'Option<u64>'
* add bitmap accumulator
refactor vec backend so we can use it outside of tests
introduce a "hash only" vec backend for the accumulator
* get core tests passing
* initial test coverage for bitmap_accumulator
* better test coverage for bitmap accumulator and cleanup code
* refactor txhashset roots, call validate() on roots during block validation
* fix store tests
* log the "merged" root when validating roots
* cleanup, revise based on feedback
* cleanup
* rework it to pass explicit size into bitmap accumulator when applying
* fix: split state validation status into kernel and rproof updates. And fix sync status for these two states
* fix: show correct number of leaves for pruned MMR as well as unpruned
* docs: better docs for kernel/range proof validation
* fix: ordering of kernel and rproofs validation in TUI
* fix: typo in rangeproofs api and comments
* add function to retrieve a set of pmmr indices between a given block height range
* typo
* change APU to just return required indices
* change pmmr index retrieval, change new function to only return pmmr indices between blocks
* wip
* exhaustive match
* write with fixed v1 strategy when writing for hashing
* local protocol version is 2
* cleanup "size" tests that exercise v1 vs v2 vs default protocol versions
* add proto version to Connected! log msg
* cleanup docs
* negotiate protocol version min(local, peer) when doing hand/shake
* Kernel lookup api
* Min and max height parameters, scan backwards
* Return null instead of 404 if kernel not found
* Return TxKernel instead of TxKernelPrintable
* Update description of KernelHandler
* store both mmr index and block height into database for output
* rustfmt
* fix: mmr position is 1-based instead of 0-based
* (Hash, u64, u64) deserves a type
* fee and lock_height now maintained in kernel features enum variants
* sum fees via explicit enum variants
* cleanup semantics around with_fee and with_lock_height for tx builders
* document the kernel feature variants
* serialize kernel features correctly for api json
* cleanup
* commit
* bump to unstick azure
