`zcashd` converts the PoWLimit into a compact representation before
using it to perform difficulty filter checks.
The Zcash specification converts to compact for the default difficulty
filter, but not for testnet minimum difficulty blocks. (ZIP 205 and
ZIP 208 don't specify this conversion either.) See #1277.
* Implement Expanded to Compact Difficulty
* Implement Arbitrary for CompactDifficulty
Remove the derive, and generate values from random block
hashes.
* Implement Arbitrary for ExpandedDifficulty and Work
* Use Arbitrary for CompactDifficulty in Arbitrary for Block
* Test difficulty on all block test vectors
And cleanup some duplicate test code
* Round-trip tests for compact test cases
* Round-trip tests for compact difficulty in block test vectors
* Make Add for Work return PartialCumulativeWork
Remove AddAssign for Work
Rewrite a proptest using Sub for PartialCumulativeWork
Use Arbitrary for Work
* Add roundtrip work sum tests
* Add roundtrip comparison difficulty tests
* Add failing proptest cases due to test bugs
* Use Some(_) rather than _.into()
* Reduce visibility of difficulty type inner values
* Split work and other difficulty proptests
This change makes sure that rejected work values don't disable property
tests on other types.
This is the first in a sequence of changes that change the block:: items
to not include Block as a prefix in their name, in accordance with the
Rust API guidelines.
This extracts the `difficulty` module from `block` and the
`equihash_solution` module from the crate root. The PoW calculations
are significantly more complicated than the other block code and pretty
dissimilar from it, so it makes more sense to create a common proof of
work module.
The `EquihashSolution` and `EQUIHASH_SOLUTION_SIZE` are renamed to
`equihash::Solution` and `equihash::SOLUTION_SIZE` and imported that
way, except in `block/header.rs`, to avoid a conflict with the
`equihash` crate. In the future it would be better to encapsulate the
equihash solution check into the `equihash::Solution` type so that
callers only need to import our `work::equihash`.
The test organization leaves a little to be desired but I think that
this can be improved as we fill out the proof of work implementation.
