Struct bitcoin::pow::CompactTarget

pub struct CompactTarget(/* private fields */);

Encoding of 256-bit target as 32-bit float.

This is used to encode a target into the block header. Satoshi made this part of consensus code in the original version of Bitcoin, likely copying an idea from OpenSSL.

OpenSSL’s bignum (BN) type has an encoding, which is even called “compact” as in bitcoin, which is exactly this format.

Implementations

impl CompactTarget

pub fn from_consensus(bits: u32) -> Self

Creates a CompactTarget from a consensus encoded u32.

pub fn to_consensus(self) -> u32

Returns the consensus encoded u32 representation of this CompactTarget.

Trait Implementations

fn clone(&self) -> CompactTarget

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for CompactTarget

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

impl Decodable for CompactTarget

fn consensus_decode<R: Read + ?Sized>(r: &mut R) -> Result<Self, Error>

Decode an object with a well-defined format.

fn consensus_decode_from_finite_reader<R: Read + ?Sized>( reader: &mut R ) -> Result<Self, Error>

Decode Self from a size-limited reader.

impl Default for CompactTarget

fn default() -> CompactTarget

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for CompactTarget

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Encodable for CompactTarget

fn consensus_encode<W: Write + ?Sized>(&self, w: &mut W) -> Result<usize, Error>

Encodes an object with a well-defined format.

impl From<CompactTarget> for Target

fn from(c: CompactTarget) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl FromHexStr for CompactTarget

type Error = ParseIntError

An error occurred while parsing the hex string.

fn from_hex_str_no_prefix<S: AsRef<str> + Into<String>>( s: S ) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Parses provided string as hex without requiring 0x prefix.

fn from_hex_str<S: AsRef<str> + Into<String>>( s: S ) -> Result<Self, FromHexError<Self::Error>>

Parses provided string as hex requiring 0x prefix.

impl Hash for CompactTarget

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for CompactTarget

fn cmp(&self, other: &CompactTarget) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized + PartialOrd,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for CompactTarget

fn eq(&self, other: &CompactTarget) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for CompactTarget

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &CompactTarget) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for CompactTarget

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
