Replace the mutable non-copying GetCoins method with a ModifyCoins, which
returns an encapsulated iterator, so we can keep track of concurrent
modifications (as iterators can be invalidated by those) and run cleanup
code after a modification is finished.
This also removes the overloading of the 'GetCoins' name.
The efficient version of CCoinsViewCache::GetCoins only works for known-to-exist
cache entries, requiring a separate HaveCoins call beforehand. This is
inefficient as both perform a hashtable lookup.
Replace the non-mutable GetCoins with AccessCoins, which returns a potentially-NULL
pointer. This also decreases the overloading of GetCoins.
Also replace some copying (inefficient) GetCoins calls with equivalent AccessCoins,
decreasing the copying.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
This is a simple utility that provides command line manipulation of
a hex-encoded TX. The utility takes a hex string on the command line
as input, performs zero or more mutations, and outputs a hex string
to standard output.
This utility is also an intentional exercise of the "bitcoin library"
concept. It is designed to require minimal libraries, and works
entirely without need for any RPC or P2P communication.
See "bitcoin-tx --help" for command and options summary.
