Use of general-purpose integers is often error-prone and annoying. We're
working towards improving it by introducing newtypes.
This adds newtypes for weight and fee rate to make fee computation
easier and more readable. Note however that this dosn't change the type
for individual parts of the transaction since computing the total weight
is not as simple as summing them up and we want to avoid such confusion.
Part of #630
Adds new module `string` to be later converted to its own
crate. The module currently contains the FromHexStr trait and an error
type to be used for implementing hex parsing on types. This change
also adds implementations of FromHexStr for types with a single u32
member such as `Sequence(pub u32)`. All structs that match the
following regex have been given this implementation
`\(u32\)` and `\(pub u32\)`. All implementations have associated
unit tests matching all possible cases. NonStandardSighashType has
been ommitted from this change as it is an error and should not be
constructed using the methods added in this change.
Adds parse::hex_u32 for future use to be made generic to allow
different sizes of integers to be parsed from hex strings.
The error type FromHexError implements required traits such as
Display and std::error::Error
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
