I successfully implemented test utility functions for AddCoin()
and SpendCoin()
in the Bitcoin Core codebase. Here’s a summary of the changes made:
Added Test Utility Functions
I added two new test functions to src/test/util/coins.cpp
:
TestAddCoin()
: Tests theCCoinsViewCache::AddCoin()
function with various parametersTestSpendCoin()
: Tests theCCoinsViewCache::SpendCoin()
function with different scenarios
Updated Header File
I updated src/test/util/coins.h
with declarations for these new functions, including detailed documentation of their parameters and return values.
Implemented Test Cases
Added a comprehensive test case util_coins_tests
in src/test/coins_tests.cpp
that:
- Tests adding coins with different parameters
- Tests coin overwrite behavior (with and without permission)
- Tests spending coins with and without the moveout parameter
- Tests error handling when spending non-existent coins
- Tests batch operations by adding and spending multiple coins
Test Coverage
The tests verify several important aspects of coin handling:
- ✓ Coins are added correctly with the correct properties
- ✓ Coin overwrite protection works as expected
- ✓ Spent coins are properly marked as spent
- ✓ The moveout parameter correctly captures coin data
- ✓ Non-existent coins cannot be spent
These tests complement the existing coin-related tests in the codebase and provide additional coverage for the AddCoin()
and SpendCoin()
functions, strengthening the test suite for Bitcoin Core’s UTXO handling.
