We are attempting to flatten the `util` module; move the `bip152` module
to the crate root out of `util`.
Currently `src/util/` is ignored by the formatter so this move causes
the `bip152` module to be formatted.
Currently we use the `Uint256` type to represent two proof of work
integers, namely target and difficulty (work).
It would be nice to not have a public integer type that is not fully
implemented (i.e., does not implement arithmetic etc as do integer types
in stdlib). Instead of implementing all the stdlib functions we can
instead add two new wrapper types, since these are not general purpose
integers they do not need to implement anything we do not need to use.
- Add a `pow` module.
- Put a modified version of `Uint256` to `pow`.
- Add two new wrapper types `Target` and `Difficulty`.
- Only implement methods that we use on each type.
Note this patch does not remove the original `Uint256`, that will be
done as a separate patch.
Clippy recently upgraded and a few two new warnings types popped up in
our codebase, fix them both in a single patch so CI passes for all
commits.
1. Remove unneeded explicit borrow
2. Use `if let Some` instead of pattern match
Add a new crate `bitcoin-internals` to be used for internal code needed
by multiple soon-to-be-created crates.
Add the `write_err` macro to `bitcoin-internals`, nothing else.
This patch uses a `path` dependency which means `rust-bitcoin` cannot be
released in its current state, will need to be changed once we release
the `bitcoin-internals` crate on `crates.io`.
Create a directory `bitcoin` and move into it the following as is with
no code changes:
- src
- Cargo.toml
- contrib
- test_data
- examples
Then do:
- Add a workspace to the repository root directory.
- Add the newly created `bitcoin` crate to the workspace.
- Exclude `fuzz` and `embedded` crates from the workspace.
- Add a contrib/test.sh script that runs contrib/test.sh in each
sub-crate
- Fix the bitcoin/contrib/test.sh script
