Enumeration Type Documentation

BlockStatus

enum BlockStatus : uint32_t

Enumerator
BLOCK_VALID_UNKNOWN	Unused.
BLOCK_VALID_HEADER	Parsed, version ok, hash satisfies claimed PoW, 1 <= vtx count <= max, timestamp not in future.
BLOCK_VALID_TREE	All parent headers found, difficulty matches, timestamp >= median previous, checkpoint. Implies all parents are also at least TREE.
BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS	Only first tx is coinbase, 2 <= coinbase input script length <= 100, transactions valid, no duplicate txids, sigops, size, merkle root. Implies all parents are at least TREE but not necessarily TRANSACTIONS. When all parent blocks also have TRANSACTIONS, CBlockIndex::nChainTx will be set.
BLOCK_VALID_CHAIN	Outputs do not overspend inputs, no double spends, coinbase output ok, no immature coinbase spends, BIP30. Implies all parents are also at least CHAIN.
BLOCK_VALID_SCRIPTS	Scripts & signatures ok. Implies all parents are also at least SCRIPTS.
BLOCK_VALID_MASK	All validity bits.
BLOCK_HAVE_DATA	full block available in blk*.dat
BLOCK_HAVE_UNDO	undo data available in rev*.dat
BLOCK_HAVE_MASK
BLOCK_FAILED_VALID	stage after last reached validness failed
BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD	descends from failed block
BLOCK_FAILED_MASK
BLOCK_OPT_WITNESS	block data in blk*.data was received with a witness-enforcing client

Function Documentation

GetBlockProof()

arith_uint256 GetBlockProof

(

const CBlockIndex &

block

)

GetBlockProofEquivalentTime()

int64_t GetBlockProofEquivalentTime	(	const CBlockIndex &	to,
		const CBlockIndex &	from,
		const CBlockIndex &	tip,
		const Consensus::Params &
	)

Return the time it would take to redo the work difference between from and to, assuming the current hashrate corresponds to the difficulty at tip, in seconds.

LastCommonAncestor()

const CBlockIndex* LastCommonAncestor	(	const CBlockIndex *	pa,
		const CBlockIndex *	pb
	)

Find the forking point between two chain tips.

Find the last common ancestor two blocks have. Both pa and pb must be non-nullptr.

Variable Documentation

MAX_BLOCK_TIME_GAP

constexpr int64_t MAX_BLOCK_TIME_GAP = 90 * 60

static

Maximum gap between node time and block time used for the "Catching up..." mode in GUI.

Ref: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1026

MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME

constexpr int64_t MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME = 2 * 60 * 60

static

Maximum amount of time that a block timestamp is allowed to exceed the current network-adjusted time before the block will be accepted.

TIMESTAMP_WINDOW

constexpr int64_t TIMESTAMP_WINDOW = MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME

static

Timestamp window used as a grace period by code that compares external timestamps (such as timestamps passed to RPCs, or wallet key creation times) to block timestamps. This should be set at least as high as MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME.
