Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flags

Enumerator
DIRTY 

DIRTY means the CCoinsCacheEntry is potentially different from the version in the parent cache.

Failure to mark a coin as DIRTY when it is potentially different from the parent cache will cause a consensus failure, since the coin's state won't get written to the parent when the cache is flushed.

FRESH 

FRESH means the parent cache does not have this coin or that it is a spent coin in the parent cache.

If a FRESH coin in the cache is later spent, it can be deleted entirely and doesn't ever need to be flushed to the parent. This is a performance optimization. Marking a coin as FRESH when it exists unspent in the parent cache will cause a consensus failure, since it might not be deleted from the parent when this cache is flushed.
