Any projects which want to use Hush code from now on will need to be licensed as
GPLv3 or we will send the lawyers: https://www.softwarefreedom.org/
Notably, Komodo (KMD) is licensed as GPLv2 and is no longer compatible to receive
code changes, without causing legal issues. MIT projects, such as Zcash, also cannot pull
in changes from the Hush Full Node without permission from The Hush Developers,
which may in some circumstances grant an MIT license on a case-by-case basis.
libzcash::PaymentAddress has been renamed to libzcash::SproutPaymentAddress,
and a new typedef boost::variant is now libzcash::PaymentAddress. Similarly
for ViewingKey and SpendingKey.
A new class InvalidEncoding is introduced as the default boost::variant
option for each address and key type; it is used during decoding instead
of boost::optional.
All address and key storage functions in the wallet have been modified to
refer specifically to the Sprout types, as they are used very precisely.
In most other cases, the more general type is leveraged as much as possible,
and we convert to the Sprout type when necessary. This will be subsequently
wrapped in, or replaced with, context-specific functions once Sapling
types are implemented.
Make some globals static that can be
I wrote this patch as part of making a Bazel build system but it really is independent from that so I'm putting this as a separate PR.
External linkage does not help and just encourages sloppy dependencies (ie using symbols only declared in a cpp file in some other cpp file) and can lead to weird issues when there are name collisions.
Improve joinsplit diagnostics
I don't advocate merging this for the hotfix release (to fix#1779) but this PR can be used to diagnose the real issue and should be merged ASAP afterward.
~I still need to add tests for `last()` and `element()` though.~ Done.
Deallocate the public parameters during Shutdown.
This also has it deallocated in `GenerateParams` and `test_bitcoin`. The virtual destructor probably isn't necessary but I added it just in case we need it some other time.
