Detailed Description

Used to create a Merkle proof (usually from a subset of transactions), which consists of a block header and partial Merkle Tree.

SPV clients typically use this Merkle proof to limit bandwidth and computation requirements to process incoming transactions. From the peer-node's perspective, the SPV client is a "filtered node". See BIP37 for details: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0037.mediawiki

NOTE: The class assumes that the given CBlock has at least 1 transaction. If the CBlock has 0 txs, it will hit an assertion.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CMerkleBlock() [1/4]

CMerkleBlock::CMerkleBlock ( const CBlock block,
CBloomFilter filter 
)
inline

Create a Merkle proof according to a bloom filter.

Note that this will call IsRelevantAndUpdate on the filter for each transaction, thus the filter will likely be modified.

Definition at line 166 of file merkleblock.h.

◆ CMerkleBlock() [2/4]

CMerkleBlock::CMerkleBlock ( const CBlock block,
const std::set< TxId > &  txids 
)
inline

Create a Merkle proof for a set of transactions.

Definition at line 172 of file merkleblock.h.

◆ CMerkleBlock() [3/4]

CMerkleBlock::CMerkleBlock ( )
inline

Definition at line 175 of file merkleblock.h.

◆ CMerkleBlock() [4/4]

CMerkleBlock::CMerkleBlock ( const CBlock block,
CBloomFilter filter,
const std::set< TxId > *  txids 
)
private

Combined constructor to consolidate code.

At most one of filter or txids may be provided.

Member Data Documentation

◆ header

CBlockHeader CMerkleBlock::header

Public only for unit testing.

Definition at line 150 of file merkleblock.h.

◆ txn

CPartialMerkleTree CMerkleBlock::txn

Definition at line 151 of file merkleblock.h.

◆ vMatchedTxn

std::vector<std::pair<size_t, uint256> > CMerkleBlock::vMatchedTxn

Public only for unit testing and relay testing (not relayed).

Used only when a bloom filter is specified to allow testing the transactions which matched the bloom filter.
