Changes are as below:
Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.
Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.
Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.
Accept auxpow as PoW verification.
Add unit tests for auxpow verification.
Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.
Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.
Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet.
Introduce CPureBlockHeader.
Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.
Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.
This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.
Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.
Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.
Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.
Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.
Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)
Implement getauxblock plus regression test.
Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.
This allows using of the Params() calls.
Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.
Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.
Fix rebase with BIP66.
Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.
Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.
This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.
Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.
Scrypt n=1024 PoW hash based upon Colin Percival's Tarnsnap (2009)
Modified by Artforz, coblee, pooler, wtogami, Nikolay Belikov, Adrian Gallagher, Ross Nicoll
chain.h does not actually depend on the methods defined in pow.h, just its
include of consensus/params.h, which is standalone and can be included instead.
Confirmed by inspection and successful build.
Using VARINT with signed types is dangerous because negative values will appear
to serialize correctly, but then deserialize as positive values mod 128.
This commit changes the VARINT macro to trigger an error by default if called
with an signed value, and updates broken uses of VARINT to pass a special flag
that lets them keep working with no change in behavior.
1. nStatus of CBlockIndex is consistent with the definition of Enum(BlockStatus)
2. The BlockHeader is consistent with the type of variable defined in CBlockHeader

In spite of the name FindLatestBefore used std::lower_bound to try
to find the earliest block with a nTime greater or equal to the
the requested value. But lower_bound uses bisection and requires
the input to be ordered with respect to the comparison operation.
Block times are not well ordered.
I don't know what lower_bound is permitted to do when the data
is not sufficiently ordered, but it's probably not good.
(I could construct an implementation which would infinite loop...)
To resolve the issue this commit introduces a maximum-so-far to the
block indexes and searches that.
For clarity the function is renamed to reflect what it actually does.
An issue that remains is that there is no grace period in importmulti:
If a address is created at time T and a send is immediately broadcast
and included by a miner with a slow clock there may not yet have been
any block with at least time T.
The normal rescan has a grace period of 7200 seconds, but importmulti
does not.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
Bitwise logic combined with `<` with undefined signedness will
potentially results in undefined behavior. Fix this by defining the type
as a c++11 typed enum.
Fixes#6017.
Break the circular dependency between main and txdb by:
- Moving `CBlockFileInfo` from `main.h` to `chain.h`. I think this makes
sense, as the other block-file stuff is there too.
- Moving `CDiskTxPos` from `main.h` to `txdb.h`. This type seems
specific to txdb.
- Pass a functor `insertBlockIndex` to `LoadBlockIndexGuts`. This leaves
it up to the caller how to insert block indices.
