This requires PRs #1076, #1077, #1084, and #1085.(now merged)This removes the
CheckConnectBlock
function in favor of a new function namedCheckConnectBlockTemplate
which more accurately reflects its purpose of testing block template proposals and uses this fact to be more restrictive about the allowed inputs and to avoid performing the proof of work check.In particular, the provided block template must only build from the current tip or its parent or an error is returned.
All mining code has been updated to call the new function accordingly.
Finally, it also adds a full suite of tests for the new function using the
chaingen
framework in order to ensure proper functionality.
