Backports bitcoin#28452

Original commit: 8ef6729

Completes the backport of bitcoin#28452 which was partially backported in dashpay#6324. This PR adds the missing test case for the ClearShrink function.

Backported from Bitcoin Core v0.26

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for extracting query parameters from HTTP request URIs, enabling REST endpoints to accept parameters like count via query strings.
    • Introduced wallet loading performance benchmarks for both legacy and descriptor wallets.
    • Added new functional and unit tests, including tests for datacarrier transactions, REST endpoint query parsing, and coin control fuzzing.
  • Improvements

    • REST API endpoints for block headers and blockfilter headers now support the count parameter as a query string (e.g., /rest/headers/<BLOCK-HASH>.<format>?count=5) and deprecate the old path-based format.
    • Wallet RPCs now include the abandoned field for all transactions and the next_index field in listdescriptors responses.
    • Wallet passphrases can now include null characters, with enhanced error messages in both GUI and RPC interfaces.
    • Enhanced error handling and messaging for wallet encryption, transaction creation, and file operations.
  • Refactor

    • Replaced legacy time retrieval functions with modern C++ chrono-based methods across the codebase.
    • Centralized and clarified sequence lock and lock point calculations for transaction validation.
    • Improved thread safety and error handling in SQLite database management.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected the return value of the pruneblockchain RPC to match the documented specification.
    • Fixed test expectations and logic for pruning, ancestor/descendant mempool limits, and block timestamp handling.
  • Documentation

    • Updated API documentation, release notes, and test instructions to reflect new features, parameter formats, and platform-specific guidance.
  • Chores

    • Removed unused modules and streamlined internal dependencies.
    • Updated and expanded test coverage for new and existing features.

3fcd7fc Do not use std::vector = {} to release memory (Pieter Wuille)

Pull request description:

  It appears that invoking `v = {};` for an `std::vector<...> v` is equivalent to `v.clear()`, which does not release its allocated memory. There are a number of places in the codebase where it appears to be used for that purpose however (mostly written by me). Replace those with `std::vector<...>{}.swap(v);` (using a helper function `ClearShrink` in util/vector.h).

  To explain what is going on: `v = {...};` is equivalent in general to `v.operator=({...});`. For many types, the `{}` is converted to the type of `v`, and then assigned to `v` - which for `std::vector` would ordinarily have the effect of clearing its memory (constructing a new empty vector, and then move-assigning it to `v`). However, since `std::vector<T>` has an `operator=(std::initializer_list<T>)` defined, it has precedence (since no implicit conversion is needed), and with an empty list, that is equivalent to `clear()`.

  I did consider using `v = std::vector<T>{};` as replacement for `v = {};` instances where memory releasing is desired, but it appears that it does not actually work universally either. `V{}.swap(v);` does.

…ies of transaction in ListTransaction

* Merge bitcoin#23810: docs: avoid C-style casts; use modern C++ casts

* Merge bitcoin#25158: rpc, wallet: add abandoned field for all categories of transaction in ListTransaction

* test: add test for abandoned field in all transaction categories in listtransactions

This adds a test to verify that the 'abandoned' field is now present
for all transaction categories in listtransactions RPC, not just 'send'.
This ensures compatibility with bitcoin#25158 which made the
abandoned field available for all categories.

* fix: remove scope creep from bitcoin#25158

Bitcoin commit 91ccb62 only added the 'abandoned' field to all transaction
categories and updated documentation. The changes to feature_block.py were
unrelated stylistic improvements (removing unused variable assignments)
that constitute scope creep.

This preserves Bitcoin's intent by keeping only the core functionality
change and the appropriate test coverage in wallet_abandonconflict.py
(which replaces the missing wallet_bumpfee.py test since Dash doesn't
have RBF functionality).

Fixes size validation: reduced from 342.9% to appropriate range.

b4bdabc doc: Release notes for 27068 (John Moffett)
4b1205b Test case for passphrases with null characters (John Moffett)
00a0861 Pass all characters to SecureString including nulls (John Moffett)

Pull request description:

  `SecureString` is a `std::string` specialization with a secure allocator. However, in practice it's treated like a C- string (no explicit length and null-terminated). This can cause unexpected and potentially insecure behavior. For instance, if a user enters a passphrase with embedded null characters (which is possible through Qt and the JSON-RPC), it will ignore any characters after the first null, potentially giving the user a false sense of security.

  Instead of assigning to `SecureString` via `std::string::c_str()`, assign it via a `std::string_view` of the original. This explicitly captures the size and still doesn't make any extraneous copies in memory.

  Note to reviewers, the following all compile identically in recent `GCC` (x86-64 and ARM64) with `-O2` (and `-std=c++17`):

  ```C++
  std::string orig_string;
  std::cin >> orig_string;
  SecureString s;
  s.reserve(100);
  // The following all compile identically
  s = orig_string;
  s = std::string_view{orig_string};
  s.assign(std::string_view{orig_string});
  s.assign(orig_string.data(), orig_string.size());
  ```

  So it's largely a matter of preference. However, one thing to keep in mind is that we want to avoid making unnecessary copies of any sensitive data in memory.

  Something like `SecureString s{orig_string};` is still invalid and probably unwanted in our case, since it'd get treated as a short string and optimized away from the secure allocator. I presume that's the reason for the `reserve()` calls.

  Fixes bitcoin#27067.

Replace check-then-set pattern with atomic compare-and-swap operation
in StartQuorumDataRecoveryThread to prevent multiple threads from being
started for the same quorum concurrently.

The previous implementation had a race condition where multiple threads

174-1278: Remove unrelated Python test cleanup from this backport

The C++ vector‐memory management changes from Bitcoin bitcoin#28452 (ClearShrink implementation in src/util/vector.h and its usage in src/net.cpp, plus corresponding tests in test/util_tests.cpp) are present in this branch. The modifications in test/functional/feature_block.py—removing unused assignments from next_block() calls—do not pertain to “Do not use std::vector = {} to release memory” and constitute scope creep.

Please revert or isolate the changes in:

  • test/functional/feature_block.py (the cleanup of unused next_block() assignments)
src/test/httpserver_tests.cpp (1)

1-39: VALIDATION: FAIL - Severe scope creep violation

This entire new test file for HTTP server query parameter functionality is completely unrelated to the stated PR objective of backporting Bitcoin Core commit 28452 about std::vector = {} memory management and adding a missing test case for ClearShrink.

The file tests GetQueryParameterFromUri function and HTTP request URI handling, which has nothing to do with vector memory management or the ClearShrink function.

This entire file should be removed from this backport PR as it represents massive scope creep - adding completely unrelated HTTP server functionality testing.

src/rpc/blockchain.cpp (1)

1089-2678: VALIDATION: FAIL

File Operations: MISMATCH - Bitcoin Core commit bitcoin#28452 modified 4 files with 71 total changes, but this Dash PR only modifies 1 file with ~5 lines changed.

Size Ratio: 7% (Bitcoin: 71 lines, Dash: ~5 lines) - Far below the required 80-150% range.

Scope Creep: DETECTED - The actual changes (pruneblockchain semantics, dumptxoutset error handling) don't match the PR title "Do not use std::vector = {} to release memory" or the stated objective of adding ClearShrink test cases.

Bitcoin-Specific Code: NONE

Completeness: MISSING FILES - Missing 3 out of 4 files from the original Bitcoin commit. According to PR objectives, the core ClearShrink functionality already exists in Dash.

Fix Instructions:

  1. This appears to be a different Bitcoin commit than bitcoin#28452 being backported
  2. Close this PR since the stated Bitcoin bitcoin#28452 functionality is already implemented in Dash per the PR objectives
  3. If these changes are needed, create a separate PR with correct title/description identifying the actual Bitcoin commit being backported
  4. For future backports, ensure all relevant files are included or clearly document why certain changes are not applicable

Verification needed: Confirm which Bitcoin commit these changes actually originate from.

src/wallet/wallet.h (1)

1-1124: VALIDATION: FAIL

File Operations: MISMATCH - None of the shown files contain changes related to Bitcoin bitcoin#28452's vector memory management
Size Ratio: N/A - Wrong changes provided
Scope Creep: DETECTED - All changes (hex parsing, SQLite sync, HTTP query params, time APIs) are unrelated to the stated backport
Bitcoin-Specific Code: NONE in shown changes
Completeness: MISSING FILES - No vector memory management or ClearShrink test changes shown

The provided code changes are completely unrelated to Bitcoin Core bitcoin#28452. That commit specifically:

  1. Replaces std::vector = {} with proper memory release methods
  2. Adds test coverage for ClearShrink function
  3. Modifies vector handling across 4 files with 71 total changes

Instead, the shown changes include hex parsing, SQLite synchronization, HTTP query parameters, and time API updates - none of which are part of Bitcoin bitcoin#28452.

Per the PR objectives, the actual backport contains only a single blank line addition, representing ~1.4% of the original Bitcoin changes. The reviewer already identified that the ClearShrink functionality exists in Dash and recommended closing this PR.

src/rest.cpp (1)

1-1010: Update PR Objectives: Incorrect Backport of REST API Changes

The modifications in src/rest.cpp (and accompanying rest_tests.cpp) clearly correspond to the Bitcoin Core changes that introduced the RESTResponseFormat enum, ParseDataFormat logic (query‐string stripping), and new count= query parameter support on REST endpoints—not the memory‐management fix (std::vector = {} avoidance) or ClearShrink tests claimed in commit 8ef6729.

Please address the following:

  • Confirm which Bitcoin Core commit these REST API enhancements originate from (they are unrelated to vector memory management).
  • Update the PR title/description to reference the correct commit hash and intended scope.
  • If the goal remains the memory‐management backport, remove or relocate these REST API changes to a separate PR.
src/bench/wallet_loading.cpp (1)

1-134: VALIDATION: FAIL

File Operations: MISMATCH - This file (wallet loading benchmark) is unrelated to the Bitcoin commit being backported
Size Ratio: N/A - Wrong file
Scope Creep: N/A - Wrong file
Bitcoin-Specific Code: NONE
Completeness: SEVERELY INCOMPLETE - Missing all relevant files from Bitcoin commit

Critical Issue: This file implements wallet loading benchmarks, but the Bitcoin commit 8ef6729 is about "Do not use std::vector = {} to release memory" and the ClearShrink function. These are completely unrelated changes.

According to the PR objectives:

  • The Bitcoin commit modifies 4 files with 71 changes
  • The changes involve vector memory management and ClearShrink testing
  • This PR only adds 1 unrelated file

Fix Instructions:

  1. Remove this wallet loading benchmark file - it's not part of the Bitcoin commit
  2. The PR objectives already indicate that ClearShrink functionality exists in Dash
  3. Either properly backport all relevant changes from Bitcoin commit 8ef6729 or close this PR as the functionality is already implemented
src/validation.cpp (1)

1-5986: Summary: Wrong changes for the stated PR objective

After reviewing all changes in this file:

  1. Sequence lock refactoring: New functions for calculating lock points, API changes to separate calculation from validation
  2. Chain tip API change: SetTip now uses references instead of pointers
  3. BIP30 exception handling: Special case handling for historical blocks with duplicate coinbases
  4. Integration updates: Mempool and reorg handling updated to use new APIs

None of these changes relate to the stated PR objective of backporting Bitcoin Core commit 8ef6729 about avoiding std::vector = {} for memory release.

This appears to be either:

  • The wrong file included in the PR
  • The wrong PR description
  • A different Bitcoin Core commit being backported

The PR should be updated to either:

  • Include the correct files that address vector memory management
  • Update the description to match what's actually being backported
  • Remove these unrelated changes

Pinning lief==0.13.1 may break reproducibility on future CI images

lief often publishes manylinux wheels only for a subset of Python versions and glibc combos.
Consider:

  1. Adding a comment why 0.13.1 is chosen (latest with wheels?).
  2. Falling back to --no-binary :all: compile path if wheels disappear.
  3. Caching the wheel in contrib/ci like other toolchain pins.

This prevents sudden CI breakage when upstream yanks/relocates binaries.

Ensure reproducible LIEF installation in CI

File: ci/lint/04_install.sh (around line 38)

The current line pins LIEF to 0.13.1 but provides no rationale, no build-from-source fallback, and no cached wheel if PyPI wheels vanish. To avoid future CI failures, please:

  • Add a comment explaining why lief==0.13.1 is chosen (e.g. last version with manylinux wheels for our Python/glibc matrix).
  • Try installing from source if the wheel is removed, e.g.:
    ${CI_RETRY_EXE} pip3 install lief==0.13.1 || \
      ${CI_RETRY_EXE} pip3 install --no-binary :all: lief==0.13.1
  • Vendor or cache the wheel under a new contrib/ci/ directory (as with other toolchain pins) and prefer it before falling back to PyPI.

These steps will guard against upstream wheel removals and keep CI builds stable.

Renamed variable needs follow-up clean-up

CCACHE_MAXSIZE replaces CCACHE_SIZE, but the rest of the CI scripts (e.g. build helpers or
GitHub-Actions workflow steps) may still export or reference the old name. A quick repo-wide check
avoids silent regressions where the limit reverts to the ccache default.

⚠️ Potential issue

nproc still executed on host – command substitution happens before CI_EXEC

CI_EXEC echo "Number of CPUs (nproc): $(nproc)" expands $(nproc) before entering the container, so the printed value is from the host, not the CI container. Wrap it in a second shell inside the container:

-CI_EXEC echo "Number of CPUs (nproc): $(nproc)"
+CI_EXEC bash -c 'echo "Number of CPUs (nproc): $(nproc)"'

This ensures the nproc binary runs in the same namespace as the rest of the build.

```bash
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/tmp
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=4g tmpfs /mnt/tmp/
```

Configure the size of the ramdisk using the `size=` option.
The size of the ramdisk needed is relative to the number of concurrent jobs the test suite runs.
For example running the test suite with `--jobs=100` might need a 16GB ramdisk, but running with `--jobs=4` will only need a 4GB ramdisk.

The size of the RAM disk needed is relative to the number of concurrent jobs the test suite runs.
For example running the test suite with `--jobs=100` might need a 4 GiB RAM disk, but running with `--jobs=32` will only need a 2.5 GiB RAM disk.

**macOS**

To create a 4 GiB RAM disk named "ramdisk" at `/Volumes/ramdisk/`:

```bash
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ ramdisk $(hdiutil attach -nomount ram://8388608)
```

Configure the RAM disk size, expressed as the number of blocks, at the end of the command
(`4096 MiB * 2048 blocks/MiB = 8388608 blocks` for 4 GiB). To run the tests using the RAM disk:

```bash

🧹 Nitpick (assertive)

Minor wording nits

A few sentences read awkwardly (e.g. “speed them up. Speed-up amount varies on each system”).
No action required for functionality, but polishing grammar improves docs.

❌ Backport Verification - CATASTROPHIC FAILURE

Original Bitcoin commit: 8ef672937e5 (Merge bitcoin#28452: Do not use std::vector = {} to release memory)
Reviewed commit hash: 429cc0608e6-verify-1754221942

CRITICAL VIOLATIONS DETECTED:

🚨 Scope Explosion Violation

  • Bitcoin commit: 4 files, 71 changes (57 additions, 14 deletions)
  • Your PR: 124 files, 2334 changes (1571 additions, 763 deletions)
  • Size ratio: 3287.3% (should be 80-150%)

🚨 File Operation Mismatch

  • 2 MISSING FILES required by Bitcoin commit
  • Bitcoin should touch: src/headerssync.cpp, src/net.cpp, src/test/util_tests.cpp, src/util/vector.h
  • Your PR is missing: src/headerssync.cpp, src/util/vector.h
  • 122 EXTRA FILES modified that don't exist in Bitcoin commit

🚨 Intent Violation

What Bitcoin Did: Fix vector memory management by replacing std::vector = {} with proper ClearShrink() calls and add missing test case
What Your PR Does:

  • Time API modernization (GetTimeMillis → TicksSinceEpoch)
  • Wallet encryption and passphrase handling updates
  • CI infrastructure changes across multiple platforms
  • Release notes for unrelated features
  • HTTP server test additions
  • Masternode and LLMQ timing updates
  • Build system modifications

🚨 CI Status: NORMAL

  • 0 build failures - CI is actually passing

🚨 Reviewer Feedback Analysis

Human comments reviewed: 30 critical violations identified from coderabbitai bot

  • All comments indicate fundamental scope violations
  • Multiple suggestions to remove unrelated changes
  • Consistent pattern of "unrelated to backport objective"

ALL comments indicate this is not a faithful Bitcoin backport.

🚨 Auto-Reject Conditions Met

  1. File Operation Mismatch: Missing required Bitcoin files
  2. Scope Explosion: 3287.3% size increase vs Bitcoin's 71 lines
  3. Dependency Explosion: 120 extra files for simple vector memory fix
  4. Intent Violation: Time API modernization instead of vector memory management
  5. Infrastructure Import: Wholesale Dash-specific feature additions

Required Action: COMPLETE REWRITE

This PR violates EVERY fundamental principle of faithful backporting:

  1. Start over: Discard current changes completely
  2. Study Bitcoin commit: Only implement the ClearShrink() vector memory fixes
  3. Scope discipline: Zero time API modernization, zero wallet changes, zero CI infrastructure
  4. Size validation: Aim for ~71 lines total, not 2334 lines

Example of correct scope:

// In src/net.cpp - replace vector assignments with ClearShrink calls
-    some_vector = {};
+    ClearShrink(some_vector);

// In src/test/util_tests.cpp - add missing test case  
+BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(clearshrink_test)
+{
+    // Test ClearShrink functionality
+}

This PR represents a fundamental misunderstanding of Bitcoin commit 8ef672937e5. Please review the actual Bitcoin changes and implement ONLY the vector memory management fixes.

Status: REJECTED - Requires complete rewrite
