The maximum block size is 2,000,000 bytes. This commit also limits the
maximum transaction size in parsed blocks. (See #484 for the
corresponding limit on mempool transactions.)
The proptests might test the maximum block size, but they are
randomised. So we also want to explicitly test large block sizes.
(See #482 for these test cases and tests.)
Part of #477.
Closes#158.
As discussed on the issue, this makes it possible to safely serialize
data into hashes, and encourages serializable data to make illegal
states unrepresentable.
This replaces the read_list function and makes the code significantly cleaner.
The only downside is that it loses exact preallocation, but this is probably not a big deal.
Failure uses a distinct Fail trait rather than the standard library's
Error trait, which causes a lot of interoperability problems with tower
and other Error-using crates. Since failure was created, the standard
library's Error trait was improved, and its conveniences are now
available without the custom Fail trait using `thiserror` (for easy
error derives) and `anyhow` (for a better boxed Error).
This adds convenience methods to `ReadZcashExt` that read 4 and 12 byte
fixed size arrays from the `Reader`, making the actual parsing code more
legible.
Closes#10.
The core serialization logic is now in zebra-chain and consists of two
pairs of traits:
These are analogues of the Serde `Serialize` and `Deserialize` traits,
but explicitly intended for consensus-critical serialization formats.
Thus some struct `Foo` may have derived `Serialize` and `Deserialize`
implementations for (internal) use with Serde, and explicitly-written
`ZcashSerialize` and `ZcashDeserialize` implementations for use in
consensus-critical contexts. The consensus-critical implementations
provide `zcash`-prefixed `zcash_serialize` and `zcash_deserialize`
methods to make it clear in client contexts that the serialization is
consensus-critical.
These are utility traits, analogous to the `ReadBytesExt` and
`WriteBytesExt` traits provided by `byteorder`. A generic
implementation is provided for any `io::Read` or `io::Write`, so that
bringing the traits into scope adds additional Zcash-specific traits to
generic readers and writers -- for instance, writing a `u64` in the
Bitcoin "CompactSize" format.
