Mike Hearn	0e4b317555	Introduce a CChainParameters singleton class and regtest mode. The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks. The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence. The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for a block on the testnet.	12 years ago

Gregory Maxwell	a824121eb8	It's after 2013-05-15 forever now, so remove the code for the May 15 fork.	12 years ago
Pieter Wuille	0fe8010a10	Make FindBlockByHeight constant-time. Remove the pnext pointer in CBlockIndex, and replace it with a vBlockIndexByHeight vector (no effect on memory usage). pnext can now be replaced by vBlockIndexByHeight[nHeight+1], but FindBlockByHeight becomes constant-time. This also means the entire mapBlockIndex structure and the block index entries in it become purely blocktree-related data, and independent from the currently active chain, potentially allowing them to be protected by separate mutexes in the future.	12 years ago
Pieter Wuille	1657c4bc49	Use a uint256 for bnChainWork Every block index entry currently requires a separately-allocated CBigNum. By replacing them with uint256, it's just 32 bytes extra in CBlockIndex itself. This should save us a few megabytes in RAM, and less allocation overhead.	12 years ago
