Reviewers: Note that CTxMemPool now requires a non-defaulted
CTxMemPool::Options for its constructor. Meaning that there's no need to
worry about a stray CTxMemPool constructor somewhere defaulting to
something incorrect. All instances of CTxMemPool construction are
addressed here in this commit.
We set options for CTxMemPool and construct it in many different ways. A
good example can be seen in how we determine CTxMemPool's check_ratio in
AppInitMain(...).
1. We first set the default based on chainparams's
DefaultConsistencyChecks()
2. Then, we apply the ArgsManager option on top of that default
3. Finally, we clamp the result of that between 0 and 1 Million
With this patch, most CTxMemPool construction are along the lines of:
MemPoolOptions mempool_opts{...default overrides...};
ApplyArgsManOptions(argsman, mempool_opts);
...hard overrides...
CTxMemPool pool{mempool_opts};
This "compositional" style of building options means that we can omit
unnecessary/irrelevant steps wherever we want but also maintain full
customizability.
For example:
- For users of libbitcoinkernel, where we eventually want to remove
ArgsManager, they simply won't call (or even know about)
ApplyArgsManOptions.
- See src/init.cpp to see how the check_ratio CTxMemPool option works
after this change.
A MemPoolOptionsForTest helper was also added and used by tests/fuzz
tests where a local CTxMemPool needed to be created.
The change in src/test/fuzz/tx_pool.cpp seemingly changes behaviour by
applying ArgsManager options on top of the CTxMemPool::Options defaults.
However, in future commits where we introduce flags like -maxmempool,
the call to ApplyArgsManOptions is actually what preserves the existing
behaviour. Previously, although it wasn't obvious, our CTxMemPool would
consult gArgs for flags like -maxmempool when it needed it, so it
already relied on ArgsManager information. This patchset just laid bare
the obfuscatory perils of globals.
[META] As this patchset progresses, we will move more and more
CTxMemPool-relevant options into MemPoolOptions and add their
ArgsMan-related logic to ApplyArgsManOptions.
...instead of explicitly calling init::{Set,Unset}Globals.
Cool thing about this is that in both the testing and bitcoin-chainstate
codepaths, we no longer need to explicitly unset globals. The
kernel::Context goes out of scope and the globals are unset
"automatically".
Also construct kernel::Context outside of AppInitSanityChecks()
Most of this commit is pure-move.
After this change:
- kernel/coinstats.h
-> Contains declarations for:
- enum class CoinStatsHashType
- struct CCoinsStats
- GetBogoSize(...)
- TxOutSer(...)
- ComputeUTXOStats(...)
- node/coinstats.h
-> Just GetUTXOStats, which will be removed as we change callers to
directly use the hashing/indexing codepaths in future commits.
As mentioned in a previous commit, the hashing codepath can now be moved
to a separate file. This decouples callers that only rely on the hashing
codepath from the indexing one.
This is key for libbitcoinkernel, which needs to have the CoinsStats
hashing codepath for AssumeUTXO, but does not wish to be coupled with
indexes.
Note that only the .cpp file is split in this commit, the header files
will be split in a subsequent commit and the #includes to
node/coinstats.h will be adjusted to only #include the necessary
headers.
This decouples validation.cpp from netaddress.cpp (transitively,
timedata.cpp, and asmap.cpp).
This is important for libbitcoinkernel as:
- There is no reason for the consensus engine to be coupled with
netaddress, timedata, and asmap
- Users of libbitcoinkernel can now easily supply their own
std::function that provides the adjusted time.
See the src/Makefile.am changes for some satisfying removals.
[META] Although it seems like we don't need it for just one option,
we're going to introduce another member to this struct *in the
next commit*. In future patchsets for libbitcoinkernel decoupling
it from ArgsManager, even more members will be added here.
[META] This is done in preparation for extracting libbitcoinkernel in a
following commit. It seems logical that generally users of a
library shouldn't need to export its own symbols to use the
library.
