This modifies the signature hash calculation logic to completely
decouple it from the wire transaction serialization and significantly
optimizes it in the process. It also significantly improves the
comments to specifically call out the semantics.
This change is highly desirable because it has several beneficial
properties:
- The signature hash semantics are much clearer and specific
- There is no longer a need to copy the entire transaction and modify
the relevant portions since the necessary substitutions are made on
the fly
- Allows much faster calculation by serializing directly into byte
slices and avoiding all of the additional error handling logic
dedicated to handling network streams
- Provides the possibility of changing the wire format without breaking
signature hash calculation
- Note that the caching portion still relies on the wire format, but
that can be addressed in future commits since it is merely an
optimization that can also be decoupled
The following is a before and after comparison of signature hash
calculation for both speed and memory allocations for a transaction with
many inputs:
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
------------------------------------------------------------
BenchmarkCalcSigHash 6299714 1551740 -75.37%
benchmark old allocs new allocs delta
------------------------------------------------------------
BenchmarkCalcSigHash 18601 1691 -90.91%

txscript
Package txscript implements the Decred transaction script language. There is a comprehensive test suite.
This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to use or validate Decred transaction scripts.
Decred Scripts
Decred provides a stack-based, FORTH-like language for the scripts in the Decred transactions. This language is not turing complete although it is still fairly powerful.
Installation and Updating
$ go get -u github.com/decred/dcrd/txscript
Examples
-
Standard Pay-to-pubkey-hash Script
Demonstrates creating a script which pays to a Decred address. It also prints the created script hex and uses the DisasmString function to display the disassembled script. -
Extracting Details from Standard Scripts
Demonstrates extracting information from a standard public key script. -
Manually Signing a Transaction Output
Demonstrates manually creating and signing a redeem transaction.
