Behavior before: when start_height > chain tip, response fails
Behavior after: when req.high_height_ok is true && req.start_height
> chain tip, server rerturns a successful response that includes
chain height
- When background syncing, the wallet wipes the spend key
from memory and processes all new transactions. The wallet saves
all receives, spends, and "plausible" spends of receives the
wallet does not know key images for.
- When background sync disabled, the wallet processes all
background synced txs and then clears the background sync cache.
- Adding "plausible" spends to the background sync cache ensures
that the wallet does not need to query the daemon to see if any
received outputs were spent while background sync was enabled.
This would harm privacy especially for users of 3rd party daemons.
- To enable the feature in the CLI wallet, the user can set
background-sync to reuse-wallet-password or
custom-background-password and the wallet automatically syncs in
the background when the wallet locks, then processes all
background synced txs when the wallet is unlocked.
- The custom-background-password option enables the user to
open a distinct background wallet that only has a view key saved
and can be opened/closed/synced separately from the main wallet.
When the main wallet opens, it processes the background wallet's
cache.
- To enable the feature in the RPC wallet, there is a new
`/setup_background_sync` endpoint.
- HW, multsig and view-only wallets cannot background sync.
Instead of hard-coding all missing key images into the code and inserting if missing,
we simply pop all blocks after height 202611. This makes the `monerod` binary about
0.35% smaller.
Looks like the logic from #8882 was accidentally removed in #8861
(regressing to the behavior noted in the #8882 description).
This commit brings that logic back.
There is currently no compiler protection when someone tries to
do (for example) `BLOB_SERIALIZER(std::vector<int>)`. You just
get runtime allocation errors. This has already eaten up dev time
before, so this PR adds a static assertion that the type must be
trivially copyable, as defined by the C++ standard. Types can
override this if applicable if they use `BLOB_SERIALIZER_FORCED`.
