Seeking to make the `CoinControl` option less confusing/redundant.
In #16377 the `CoinControl` flag ‘m_add_inputs’ was added to tell the coin filtering and selection process two things:
- Coin Filtering: Only use the provided inputs. Skip the Rest.
- Coin Selection: Search the wtxs-outputs and append all the `CoinControl` selected outpoints to the selection result (skipping all the available output checks). Nothing else.
Meanwhile, in `CoinControl` we already have a flag ‘fAllowOtherInputs’ which is already saying:
- Coin Filtering: Only use the provided inputs. Skip the Rest.
- Coin Selection: If false, no selection process -> append all the `CoinControl` selected outpoints to the selection result (while they passed all the `AvailableCoins` checks and are available in the 'vCoins' vector).
As can notice, the first point in the coin filtering process is duplicated in the two option flags. And the second one, is slightly different merely because it takes into account whether the coin is on the `AvailableCoins` vector or not.
So it makes sense to merge ‘m_add_inputs’ and ‘fAllowOtherInputs’ into a single field for the coin filtering process while introduce other changes to add the missing/skipped coins into 'vCoins' vector if they were manually selected by the user (follow-up commits).
Allow RPC users to opt-in to unsafe inputs when funding a raw transaction.
Applications that need to manage a complex RBF flow (such as lightning
nodes using anchor outputs) are very limited if they can only use safe inputs.
Fixes#21299
When the user doesn't specificy inputs, it makes sense to automatically select them. But when the user does specify inputs, we now fail if the amount is insufficient, unless addInputs is set to true.
After this:
- `boost::optional` is no longer used directly (only through `Optional`
which is an alias for it)
- `boost/optional.hpp` is only included in one place
Remove helper function (CalculateEstimateType) for determining whether
estimates should be conservative or not, now that this is only called
once from GetMinimumFee and incorporate the logic directly there.
GetMinimumFee now passes the conservative argument into estimateSmartFee.
Call CalculateEstimateType(mode) before calling GetMinimumFee or estimateSmartFee to determine the value of this argument.
CCoinControl can now be used to control this mode.
