Note that CTxMemPool now requires a non-defaulted
CTxMemPool::Options for its constructor. Meaning that there's no need to
worry about a stray CTxMemPool constructor somewhere defaulting to
something incorrect. All instances of CTxMemPool construction are
addressed here in this commit.
We set options for CTxMemPool and construct it in many different ways. A
good example can be seen in how we determine CTxMemPool's check_ratio in
AppInitMain(...).
1. We first set the default based on chainparams's
DefaultConsistencyChecks()
2. Then, we apply the ArgsManager option on top of that default
3. Finally, we clamp the result of that between 0 and 1 Million
With this patch, most CTxMemPool construction are along the lines of:
MemPoolOptions mempool_opts{...default overrides...};
ApplyArgsManOptions(argsman, mempool_opts);
...hard overrides...
CTxMemPool pool{mempool_opts};
This "compositional" style of building options means that we can omit
unnecessary/irrelevant steps wherever we want but also maintain full
customizability.
For example:
- For users of libbitcoinkernel, where we eventually want to remove
ArgsManager, they simply won't call (or even know about)
ApplyArgsManOptions.
- See src/init.cpp to see how the check_ratio CTxMemPool option works
after this change.
A MemPoolOptionsForTest helper was also added.
[META] As this patchset progresses, we will move more and more
CTxMemPool-relevant options into MemPoolOptions and add their
ArgsMan-related logic to ApplyArgsManOptions.
