Fix of issues and improvements related to application crashes and tests #4

  1. Test handling:
  • Omni Core requires an enabled transaction index, which is disabled by default, and this causes all non-unit tests to fail right at the start. Enabling the transaction index does not affect any test on a functional level and the required changes were minimal.
  • The Travis configuration file was further modified to prevent testing without enabled wallet. At this point basically all tests can be used by Omni Core, either automated or manually, for example via qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh.
  1. Edge case application crashes:

The testing on multiple plattforms revealed three rather specific situations, which can result in application crashs.

  • During reorganizations blocks are rolled back, but there was no check to prevent an attempt to get the predecessor of the genesis block, or any other unconnected block without predecessor.
  • The use of std::map[key] adds an element to the map, if key is no key that is already in the map. If no element is explicitly provided, the default constructor of the map element is used. There was situation where a NULL element was added to mapBlockIndex, which caused an application crash, because InvalidateBlock() and ReconsiderBlock() do not check, whether the element pointed to is actually not NULL.
    Instead of changing the related Bitcoin Core functions, I added GetBlockIndex(const uint256& hash) as read-only, and threadsafe, accesor, which seems more useful and less intrusive.
  • A similar issue to the one related to switching of the txindex value on Windows can occure, when running unit tests. This was addressed by explicitly initializing the environment and locale for Boost path at the very beginning, as done in the other modules, as well as the deallocation of Omni Coin resources via mastercore_shutdown(), which is also safe, if Omni Core was not explicitly initialized. In particular the Omni Core LevelDB files appears to be locked, which prevent the removal of temporary test folders on Windows, ultimately leading to a Boost exception while shutting down.
  1. Code style:
  • All *spBlockIndex->phashBlock (and similar) were replaced by spBlockIndex->GetBlockHash(), which seems more expressive and straight forward.

Omni Core currently requires an enabled wallet and raises an initialization error otherwise.
Omni Core currently requires an enabled transaction index and raises an initialization error otherwise.
The environment is prepared by the main thread to guard against invalid locale settings and to prevent deinitialization issues of Boost path, which can result in app crashes.
Omni Core may, or may not be initialized during the tests, and this guarantees no resources remain as leftover..

In particular there was a case where Omni Core specific folders could not be removed from the temporary test dir, because some files were still locked, which resulted in an exception.
During a reorg there can be the case where a watermark based on a non-existing block predecessor (genesisblock->pprev) is set, which can result in unexpected behavior.
New elements may accidently be inserted into the block map via mapBlockIndex[nOutOfRange], which should be avoided. Instead, this replaces direct with indirect read-only access.

> std::map::operator[]:

> If k does not match the key of any element in the container, the function inserts a new element with that key and returns a reference to its mapped value. Notice that this always increases the container size by one, even if no mapped value is assigned to the element (the element is constructed using its default constructor).

Sorry forgot to note - checked this yesterday, looks fine no objections from me :)

Actually, I'll go ahead and merge this one @m21 @dexX7 because I know @m21 you're snowed and the PR is harmless - just NULL checks and testing stuff plus GetBlockIndex seems like a safer approach.

@CraigSellars @dexX7 @m21 - let's talk about merge strategy when we can.

fa97a52 Fix UB/data-race in RPCNotifyBlockChange (MacroFake)
fa530bc Add ChainstateManager::GetMutex(), an alias for ::cs_main (MacroFake)

Pull request description:

  This fixes two issues:

  * A data race in `ActiveChain`, which returns a reference to the chain (a `std::vector`), which is not thread safe. See also below traceback.
  * A corrupt rest response, which returns a blockheight and blockhash, which are unrelated to each other and to the result, as the chain might advance between each call without cs_main held.

  The issues are fixed by taking cs_main and holding it for the required time.

  ```
