I am running this PR on one of my testnet nodes. Looks good so far... |
This converts the following block index fields to bits in the nFlags field: - nIsSuperBlock - nIsContract ...for a memory reduction of 8 bytes per block.

Already showing a significant reduction in memory with this and the other PR... looks like >300MB |

This is part of a series of changes that optimize the memory usage of Gridcoin's block index. According to Valgrind's heap profiler (Massif), these changes will decrease memory usage of the application by over 500 MB after the final PR merges. Because these optimizations apply to every block, memory savings will continue to accrue as the chain grows. I'm breaking-up the commits into separate PRs because the branch has become too unwieldy to review in one submission.
This converts the following block index fields to bits in the
nFlagsfield:nIsSuperBlocknIsContract...for a memory reduction of 8 bytes per block.
