This furthers transport abstraction by removing the assumption that a message can always immediately be converted to wire bytes. This assumption does not hold for the v2 transport proposed by BIP324, as no messages can be sent before the handshake completes. This is done by only keeping (complete) CSerializedNetMsg objects in vSendMsg, rather than the resulting bytes (for header and payload) that need to be sent. In SocketSendData, these objects are handed to the transport as permitted by it, and sending out the bytes the transport tells us to send. This also removes the nSendOffset member variable in CNode, as keeping track of how much has been sent is now a responsability of the transport. This is not a pure refactor, and has the following effects even for the current v1 transport: * Checksum calculation now happens in SocketSendData rather than PushMessage. For non-optimistic-send messages, that means this computation now happens in the network thread rather than the message handler thread (generally a good thing, as the message handler thread is more of a computational bottleneck). * Checksum calculation now happens while holding the cs_vSend lock. This is technically unnecessary for the v1 transport, as messages are encoded independent from one another, but is untenable for the v2 transport anyway. * Statistics updates about per-message sent bytes now happen when those bytes are actually handed to the OS, rather than at PushMessage time.
Test library
This contains files for the test library, which is used by the test binaries (unit tests, benchmarks, fuzzers, gui tests).
Generally, the files in this folder should be well-separated modules. New code should be added to existing modules or (when in doubt) a new module should be created.
The utilities in here are compiled into a library, which does not hold any state. However, the main file setup_common
defines the common test setup for all test binaries. The test binaries will handle the global state when they
instantiate the BasicTestingSetup (or one of its derived classes).
