This commit makes sure that no loop variables or other temporary
variables are accessed directly in a goroutine but are instead passed
into the goroutine through a parameter. This makes sure a copy of the
value is put on the stack and is not changed while the outside loop
continues.
In this commit, we add a new option for the existing confirmation
notification system that optionally allows the caller to specify that a
block should be included as well.
The only quirk w/ the implementation here is the neutrino backend:
usually we get filtered blocks, we so need to first fetch the block
again so we can deliver the full block to the notifier. On the notifier
end, it'll only be checking for the transactions we care about, to
sending a full block doesn't affect the correctness.
We also extend the `testBatchConfirmationNotification` test to assert
that a block is only included if the caller specifies it.
This commit was previously split into the following parts to ease
review:
- 2d746f68: replace imports
- 4008f0fd: use ecdsa.Signature
- 849e33d1: remove btcec.S256()
- b8f6ebbd: use v2 library correctly
- fa80bca9: bump go modules
We would establish the connection to the chain backend and start getting
block notifications before we had started the concurrent queues, which
would lead to the OnBlockConnected call being blocked, and a deadlock
(since GetBestBlock would never return).
Instead we make sure to start the queues before establishing the
connection, consuming the notifications right away.
In this commit, we extend the BtcdNotifier to support registering
scripts for spends notifications. Once the script has been detected as
spent within the chain, a spend notification will be dispatched through
the Spend channel of the SpendEvent returned upon registration.
For scripts that have been spent in the past, the rescan logic has been
modified to match on the script rather than the outpoint. This is done
by encoding the script as an address.
For scripts that are unspent, a request to the backend will be sent to
alert the BtcdNotifier of when the script was spent by a transaction. To
make this request we encode the script as an address, as this is what
the backend uses to detect the spend. The transaction will then be
proxied through the txUpdates concurrent queue, which will hand it off
to the underlying txNotifier and dispatch spend notifications to the
relevant clients.
Along the way, we also address an issue where we'd miss detecting that
an outpoint/script has been spent in the future due to not receiving a
historical dispatch request from the underlying txNotifier. To fix this,
we ensure that we always request the backend to notify us of the spend
once it detects it at tip, regardless of whether a historical rescan was
detected or not.
In this commit, we extend the BtcdNotifier to support registering
scripts for confirmation notifications. Once the script has been
detected as confirmed within the chain, a confirmation notification will
be dispatched to through the Confirmed channel of the ConfirmationEvent
returned upon registration.
For scripts that have confirmed in the past, the `historicalConfDetails`
method has been modified to skip the txindex and go straight to scanning
the chain manually if confirmation request is for a script. When
scanning the chain, we'll determine whether the script has been
confirmed by locating the script in an output of a confirmed
transaction.
For scripts that have yet to confirm, they will be properly tracked
within the TxNotifier.
In this commit, we add the current chain parameters to the BtcdNotifier.
This will be used in a future commit in order to convert outputs scripts
into addresses. This is needed since the btcd backend uses these
addresses to detect whether the script encoded within it was spent by a
transaction in the chain.
In this commit, we modify all existing historical rescans for
ChainNotifier backends to scan backwards rather than forwards. If we
know that a transaction has been confirmed, or outpoint spent, the it's
likely that the event has recently transpired assuming we've been
offline for a short period of time. Therefore, if we scan backwards
rather than forwards, then we can save potentially hundreds or thousands
of block fetches if the event recently happened close to the tip of the
chain.
We bound this search at the genesis block, to ensure we don't underflow
the uint32 used throughout the package in the main loop.
In this commit, we alter the different ChainNotifier implementations to
dispatch confirmation and spend notifications after blocks. We do this
to ensure the external consistency of our registered clients.
In this commit, we modify the logic within RegisterSpendNtfn for the
BtcdNotifier to account for the recent changes made to the TxNotifier.
Since it is now able to handle spend notification registration and
dispatch, we can bypass all the current logic within the
BtcdNotifier and interact directly with the TxNotifier instead.
The most notable change is that now we'll only attempt a historical
rescan if the TxNotifier tells us so.
In this commit, we address a bug where it's possible that we still
attempt to manually scan for a transaction to determine whether it's
been included in the chain even after successfully checking the txindex
and not finding it there. Now, we'll short-circuit this process by
exiting early if the txindex lookup was successful but the transaction
in question was not found. Otherwise, we'll fall back to the manual
scan.
In this commit, we extend the different ChainNotifier implementations to
cache height hints for our spend events. Each outpoint we've requested a
spend notification for will have its initial height hint cached. We then
increment this height hint at every new block for unspent outpoints.
This allows us to retrieve the *exact* height at which the outpoint has
been spent. By doing this, we optimize the different ChainNotifier
implementations since they will no longer have to rescan forward (and
possibly fetch blocks in the neutrino/pruned node case) from the initial
height hint.
In this commit, we alter the different chain notifiers to query their
height hint cache before registering a confimation notification. We do
this as it's possible that the cache has a higher height hint, which
can potentially reduce the amount of blocked fetched when attempting
historical dispatches.
