Detailed Description

CChainState stores and provides an API to update our local knowledge of the current best chain.

Eventually, the API here is targeted at being exposed externally as a consumable libconsensus library, so any functions added must only call other class member functions, pure functions in other parts of the consensus library, callbacks via the validation interface, or read/write-to-disk functions (eventually this will also be via callbacks).

Anything that is contingent on the current tip of the chain is stored here, whereas block information and metadata independent of the current tip is kept in BlockManager.

bool CChainState::ConnectTip ( BlockValidationState state,
CBlockIndex pindexNew,

◆ DisconnectTip()

bool CChainState::DisconnectTip ( BlockValidationState state,
DisconnectedBlockTransactions disconnectpool 
)

Disconnect m_chain's tip.

After calling, the mempool will be in an inconsistent state, with transactions from disconnected blocks being added to disconnectpool. You should make the mempool consistent again by calling MaybeUpdateMempoolForReorg. with cs_main held.

If disconnectpool is nullptr, then no disconnected transactions are added to disconnectpool (note that the caller is responsible for mempool consistency in any case).

◆ FlushStateToDisk()

bool CChainState::FlushStateToDisk ( BlockValidationState state,

Update the on-disk chain state.

The caches and indexes are flushed depending on the mode we're called with if they're too large, if it's been a while since the last write, or always and in all cases if we're in prune mode and are deleting files.

If FlushStateMode::NONE is used, then FlushStateToDisk(...) won't do anything besides checking if we need to prune.

Returns
true unless a system error occurred

◆ MaybeUpdateMempoolForReorg()

void CChainState::MaybeUpdateMempoolForReorg ( DisconnectedBlockTransactions disconnectpool,
bool  fAddToMempool 
)
private

Make mempool consistent after a reorg, by re-adding or recursively erasing disconnected block transactions from the mempool, and also removing any other transactions from the mempool that are no longer valid given the new tip/height.

Note: we assume that disconnectpool only contains transactions that are NOT confirmed in the current chain nor already in the mempool (otherwise, in-mempool descendants of such transactions would be removed).

Passing fAddToMempool=false will skip trying to add the transactions back, and instead just erase from the mempool as needed.

Member Data Documentation

◆ AcceptBlock

bool CChainState::AcceptBlock

Find the best known block, and make it the tip of the block chain.

Store block on disk.

The result is either failure or an activated best chain. pblock is either nullptr or a pointer to a block that is already loaded (to avoid loading it again from disk).

ActivateBestChain is split into steps (see ActivateBestChainStep) so that we avoid holding cs_main for an extended period of time; the length of this call may be quite long during reindexing or a substantial reorg.

May not be called with cs_main held. May not be called in a validationinterface callback.

Returns
true unless a system error occurred

If dbp is non-nullptr, the file is known to already reside on disk

Definition at line 652 of file validation.h.

◆ ChainstateManager

void UpdateTip (const CBlockIndex* pindexNew) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED( frien CChainState::ChainstateManager)

Definition at line 759 of file validation.h.

◆ ConnectBlock

bool CChainState::ConnectBlock

Apply the effects of this block (with given index) on the UTXO set represented by coins.
