Addresses #96.
Turns out it was being used for hex encoding/decoding, so replaced that with the `hex` crate.
i chose to import the `decode` method as:
```
use hex::decode as hex_decode
```
so that it is clear to the reader what is being decoded when it is called. "decode" is such a generic sounding function name that it would get confusing otherwise.
This is a rather large breaking API change, but is significantly
more sensible. In the "do not allow internal representation to
represent an invalid state" category, this ensures that witness
cannot have an length other than the number of inputs. Further,
it reduces vec propagation, which may help performance in some
cases by reducing allocs. Fianlly, this just makes more sense (tm).
Witness are a per-input field like the scriptSig, placing them
outside of the TxIn is just where they are serialized, not where
they logically belong.
This is needed to for a sane BIP143 implementation. Should be exactly equivalent to
serializing data into a vector then hashing that vector for all types.
This code was unmaintained, is unlikely to work on the majority of systems
(since it holds the whole utxoset in RAM, and not in a terribly efficient
manner), and has a dependency on `eventual` which has been broken for a
long time.
The library no longer compiles on nightly because of this, and without any
known usecases for `UtxoSet`, nor good ability to test it, I'm simply
removing the code.
I recommend anyone who cares about this extracts the code from the previous
commit and creates a new crate. It should be more featureful anyway, e.g.
support a backing store.
This is just a convenience type for the (txid, vout) pairs that get produced
a lot in Bitcoin code. To the best of my knowledge there is nowhere this can
be used in the actual library (in particular, TxOutRef.index is a usize for
convenience while TxIn.prev_index is a u32 for correct consensus encoding,
so there is not redundancy here).
Breaking changes are:
opcode::All::from_u8 is now From<u8>
script::Builder::from_vec is now From<Vec<u8>>
script::Script::from_vec is now From<Vec<u8>>
Work is stalled on some other library work (to give better lifetime
requirements on `eventual::Future` and avoid some unsafety), so
committing here.
There are only three errors left in this round :)
Also all the indenting is done, so there should be no more massive
rewrite commits. Depending how invasive the lifetime-error fixes
are, I may even be able to do sanely sized commits from here on.
27 files changed, 3944 insertions(+), 3812 deletions(-) :} I've
started doing whitespace changes as well, I want everything to
be 4-space tabs from now on.
BTW after all this is done I'm gonna indent the entire codebase...
so `git blame` is gonna be totally broken anyway, hence my
capricious cadence of commits.
Will take some experimentation to see if this is what I want the API
to be, if the memory usage is acceptable, etc.
This will force a total reindex for wizards-wallet users.
[breaking-change]
Sorry, this is needed to enable proper txid/vout lookups for the address index.
This means any users of wizards-wallet need to rebuild their utxo sets, and
will also mean an increase in RAM usage.
