Make SER_GETHASH implicit for CHashWriter and SerializeHash #13462

Empact · 2018-06-13T20:42:39Z

Most invocations of CHashWriter use SER_GETHASH and version 0, this allows for eliding those values, ~~and removes SER_GETHASH as a type, because it functions simply as "has no external destination" in practice.~~

~~SerializeHash basically existed due to the overhead of CHashWriter construction, now that that is minimized, it's unnecessary.~~

Withdrawing this pending #10785. Will re-open after.

sipa · 2018-06-14T21:35:51Z

@Empact #10785 is low priority, and will probably take a while. Don't let it stop you.

Empact · 2018-06-14T21:48:57Z

Good to know, thanks.

sipa · 2018-06-14T22:15:04Z

I don't understand "scripted-diff: Drop SER_GETHASH"; it changes !(s.GetType() & SER_GETHASH) to s.GetType(). That means that what used to be the branch for DISK/NETWORK will end up being run just for DISK, and what used to be the branch for GETHASH will end up being run for NETWORK and GETHASH.

Empact · 2018-06-14T23:23:09Z

@sipa SER_NETWORK is (1 << 0) i.e. 0x01, SER_DISK is (1 << 1) i.e. 0x02, so both will evaluate to true, while with 0 used where SER_GETHASH once was, it will evaluate to false. Note also while they're defined as flags all uses of SER_GETHASH are singular.

sipa · 2018-06-14T23:27:52Z

Ah of course; I missed the (1 << ...) around it.

This isn't very readable code though. Would you mind keeping SER_GETHASH as a constant (perhaps just defined as 0), and explicit comparisons with it (rather than bit masking). That should still be a nice simplification.

Empact · 2018-06-15T00:13:43Z

@sipa Fair enough, I dropped that commit. Def more straight-forward now.

sipa · 2018-06-15T00:24:12Z

Thinking a bit more about this, I think you can actually go further. I believe none of the serializers which have conditionals that mention SER_GETHASH (CDiskBlockIndex, CBlockLocator, CAddress, CKeyPool, CWalletKey, CAccountingEntry, CAccount) are ever actually invoked with SER_GETHASH as nType, so we could literally delete SER_GETHASH entire and all conditions that test for it. SerializeHash could then just use SER_NETWORK afaict.

Empact · 2018-06-15T00:25:12Z

@sipa Nice I'll look into that.

src/hash.h

All callers either relied on the default value of SER_GETHASH or provided SER_GETHASH.

In every case except for `CAddress`, which specifically relates to a network peer's address, not a wallet address etc., the serialized representation of an object is irrespective of its destination / type.

Approach ACK on this simplification, code looks reasonable on first read.

jonatack

At nearly four years old, this may be the pull that has been open the longest so far.

ACK c05246b code review, clean rebase to master, clean debug build, ran unit tests

Incidentally, @jonatack do you happen to know the situation with Cirrus-CI? I'd like to retry this build, but I don't have the option to do so on the site.

maflcko · 2022-06-06T13:05:41Z

Not sure on this. I think it might be cleaner to remove ser-type and ser-version completely. See #19477 (comment)

maflcko · 2022-06-10T10:04:19Z

See #25331

maflcko · 2022-07-20T17:27:42Z

Can this be closed now?

Empact · 2022-07-22T07:18:26Z

Closing in favor of #25331

Thanks, yours is cleaner, but for those brackets. ;)
