Some checks use the same blocks, so we take a copy of the block borrows
before using them. That way, we don't have to manage the position of the
iterator between checks.
The state service API says explicitly that AwaitUTXO requests should be coupled
with a timeout layer. I didn't add this when I was testing and fixing the UTXO
lookup code (#1348, #1358) because causing zebrad to hang on a failed
dependency was useful for identifying cases where the code wasn't useful (and
then inspecting execution traces).
As a side effect, this ticket resolves most of the hangs in #1389, because
far-future gossiped blocks will have their UTXO lookups time out, though we
may wish to do other work as part of debugging the combined sync+gossip logic.
* Difficulty Contextual RFC: Introduction
Add a header, summary, and motivation
* Difficulty RFC: Add draft definitions
And update the state RFC definitions to match.
* Difficulty RFC: Add relevant chain
* Difficulty RFC: draft guide-level explanation
Outline the core calculations and checks.
* Difficulty RFC: Revised based on spec fixes
Update the design based on the spec bugs in #1276, #1277, and
zcash/zips#416.
These changes make the difficulty filter into a context-free check,
so we remove it from this contextual validation RFC.
* Difficulty RFC: Explain how Zebra's calculations can match the spec
* Difficulty RFC: write most of the reference section
Includes most of the implementation, modules for each function, and
draft notes for some of the remaining parts of the RFC.
* Difficulty RFC: Add an AdjustedDifficulty struct
* Difficulty RFC: Summarise module structure in the one place
* Difficulty RFC: Create implementation notes subsections
* Difficulty RFC: add consensus critical order of operations
* Difficulty RFC: Use the ValidateContextError type
* Difficulty RFC: make the median_time arg mut owned
We have to clone the data to pass a fixed-length array to a function,
so we might as well sort that array to find the median, and avoid a
copy.
Temporary fix so that Zebra's default logs support a typical workflow:
1. Developer or user runs Zebra with the default config
2. They send the logs to a terminal
3. When they see a bug, they copy-paste the last few log lines into a
bug report
This is the same change that was merged in #1373 and reverted in #1375.
We'll create a consistent logging design for Zebra in ticket #1381.
* Make debug_stop_at_height and ephemeral work together
* if `debug_stop_at_height` and `ephemeral` are set, delete the database
files after reaching the stop height
* drop or flush the database before `debug_stop_at_height` exits Zebra
