Add a blocks_dir field to the BlockManager options. Move functions
relying on the global gArgs to get the blocks_dir into the BlockManager
class.
This should eventually allow users of the BlockManager to not rely on
the global Args and instead pass in their own options.
This is a commit in preparation for the next few commits. The functions
are moved to methods to avoid their re-declaration for the purpose of
passing in BlockManager options.
The functions that were now moved into the BlockManager should no longer
use the params as an argument, but instead use the member variable.
In the moved ReadBlockFromDisk and UndoReadFromDisk, change
the function signature to accept a reference to a CBlockIndex instead of
a raw pointer. The pointer is expected to be non-null, so reflect that
in the type.
To allow for the move of functions to BlockManager methods all call
sites require an instantiated BlockManager, or a callback to one.
This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.
This fixes a blk file size calculation made during reindex that results in increased blk file malformity.
The fix is to avoid double counting the size of the serialization header during reindex.
This adds a unit test to reproduce the bug before the fix and to ensure that it does not recur.
These changes include a log message change also so as to not be as alarming. This is a common and recoverable
data corruption. These messages can now be filtered by the debug log reindex category.
