Pull request description:
The next step of changes from #10785.
This:
* Adds support for enum serialization to `CustomUintFormatter`, used in `CAddress` for service flags.
* Merges `BigEndian` into `CustomUintFormatter`, used in `CNetAddr` for port numbers.
* Converts everything (except wallet and gui) to use the new serialization framework.

Support is added to serialize arrays of type char or unsigned char directly,
without any wrappers. All invocations of the FLATDATA wrappers that are
obsoleted by this are removed.
This includes a patch by Russell Yanofsky to make char casting type safe.
The serialization of CSubNet is changed to serialize a bool directly rather
than though FLATDATA. This makes the serialization independent of the size
of the bool type (and will use 1 byte everywhere).
Using VARINT with signed types is dangerous because negative values will appear
to serialize correctly, but then deserialize as positive values mod 128.
This commit changes the VARINT macro to trigger an error by default if called
with an signed value, and updates broken uses of VARINT to pass a special flag
that lets them keep working with no change in behavior.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
The current tests for varint only check that
serialization-deserialization is a roundtrip. That is a useful test, but
it is also good to check for some exact bit patterns, to prevent a code
change that changes the serialization format from going undetected.
As the varint functions are templated, also check with different types.
Make sure that chainparams and logging is properly initialized. Doing
this for every test may be overkill, but this initialization is so
simple that that does not matter.
This should fix the travis issues.
- Add license headers to source files (years based on commit dates)
in `src/test` as well as `qa`
- Add `README.md` to `src/test/data` specifying MIT license
Fixes #3848
Instead, use have an exception object to check if the string returned by what() on the raised exception matches the string returned by what() on the expected exception instance.
This way, we do not need to list all different possible explanatory strings for different platforms in the test code, and make it simple. (The idea is by Cory Fields.)
Before the fix, there were 6 errors such as :
serialize_tests.cpp:77: error in "noncanonical": incorrect exception std::ios_base::failure is caught
It turns out that ex.what() returns following string instead of "non-canonical ReadCompactSize()"
"non-canonical ReadCompactSize(): unspecified iostream_category error"
After the fix, unit test passed.
The test ran using Apple LLVM v5.0 on OSX 10.9 and the unit test error happened because of different error messages by different compilers.
