Before this commit, both writing and reading an encoded empty set of
short channel IDs from the wire would fail. Prior to this commit, we
treated decoding an empty set as a caller error, and failed to write out
the zlib encoding of an empty set in a way that us and the other
implementations were able to read.
To fix this, rather than giving zlib an empty buffer to write out (which
results in an encoding with the zlib header data and the rest), we just
write a blank slice. When decoding, if we have an empty query body, then
we'll return a `nil` slice.
With the above changes, we'll now always write out an empty short
channel ID set as:
```
0001 (1 byte follows) || <encoding_type>
```
A new test has also been added to exercise this case for both known
encoding types.
The number and the name will be separate on the rpc level, so we remove
the feature bit from the string. Currently this method is unused apart
from maybe in some rare logging instances.
This commit removes an unnecessarely large 32 byte buffer in favor of
a small 2 byte buffer and cleans up type conversion between uint16
and uint32 values.
This commit adds the feature bit and additional fields
required in `open_channel` and `accept_channel` wire
messages for `option_upfront_shutdown_script`.
This commit introduces a feature.Manager, which derives feature vectors
for various contexts within the daemon. The sets can be described via a
staticly compiled format, which makes any runtime adjustments to the
feature sets when the manager is initialized.
In this commit we change path finding to no longer consider all channels
between a pair of nodes individually. We assume that nodes forward
non-strict and when we attempt a connection between two nodes, we don't
want to try multiple channels because their policies may not be identical.
Having distinct policies for channel to the same peer is against the
recommendation in the spec, but it happens in the wild. Especially since
we recently changed the default cltv delta value.
What this commit introduces is a unified policy. This can be looked upon
as the greatest common denominator of all policies and should maximize
the probability of getting the payment forwarded.
Extends the invalid payment details failure with the new accept height
field. This allows sender to distinguish between a genuine invalid
details situation and a delay caused by intermediate nodes.
Align naming better with the lightning spec. Not the full name of the
failure (FailIncorrectOrUnknownPaymentDetails) is used, because this
would cause too many long lines in the code.
Methods on failure message types used to be defined on value receivers.
This allowed assignment of a failure message to ForwardingError both as
a value and as a pointer. This is error-prone, especially when using a
type switch.
In this commit the failure message methods are changed so that they
target pointer receivers.
Two instances where a value was assigned instead of a reference are
fixed.
