Lower-priorityAdd as_str method to Opcodeby Mitchell Bagot · e520052f · Nov 3, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 68 · AdequateInformational 19Details
Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

Add as_str method to Opcode

Currently, serde's serialize_str uses to_string, which requires an
expensive allocation on each call. as_str, by definition, produces
the same result, but does not require an allocation.

Introduce the as_str method in the Opcode implementation and change
the serialize_str call to use as_str in place of to_string.

This commit is a routine performance improvement, not a security fix.

There is no change to behavior, no bug fix, and no security relevance in the code itself.

Add a script that generates a Rust test to check re-exports

Vibe code up a script that generates a test in `primitives` based on
stuff in the API file `api/units/all-features.txt`.

The idea is that we can run this script in CI then run the tests and
make sure it passes.

The XOnlyPublicKey struct wraps a similar secp256k1 struct, and can

to a secp type.

Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

Convert encoder/decoder constructors to const

Using const functions allows the compiler to make certain optimisations
by precomputing some values during compilation, instead of at runtime.

Convert all constructors in the consensus_encoding crate to const, with
the following exceptions:
SliceEncoder::without_length_prefix - This needs to call T::encoder,
which would require making the Encodable trait use a const fn.
CompactSizeEncoder::new - Requires various ArrayVec functions to be
const, which requires a cascade of const functions elsewhere.

way to write Encodable data to std::io::Write objects. For no-std code
making use of the bitcoin-io crate, there is no equivalent.

This patch introduces an encode_to_writer function in bitcoin-io that
directly mirrors the std implementation originally from
consensus_encoding.

This commit adds a new helper function that lets no-std code write encoded Bitcoin data to custom I/O writers. It is a straightforward feature addition mirroring an existing std-only helper. There is no indication of a security bug, fix, or vulnerability.

Lower-priorityImplement Write for [u8] Cursorsby Mitchell Bagot · 30278d1b · Oct 30, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 68 · AdequateInformational 15Details

Implement Write for [u8] Cursors

Currently, the Write trait is implemented for &mut [u8] byte slices.
The Cursor struct provides a convenient means of wrapping such slices
and accessing parts as needed. Implementing Write both for the Cursor
and the underlying slices provides a consistent interface for writing
whether using a Cursor or raw slice.

Implement the Write trait for Cursors on AsMut<[u8]> types.

This commit adds a normal feature: it lets a Cursor (a wrapper that tracks your position while reading/writing a byte buffer) support writing, not just reading. The implementation matches the standard Rust library pattern and includes unit tests. There is no indication this fixes a bug or addresses a security issue.

Lower-priorityRename conversion functions on Address typeby Mitchell Bagot · 04b627df · Oct 29, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 68 · AdequateInformational 15Details

Rename conversion functions on Address type

According to the Rust API naming guidelines, type conversion functions
that convert from owned -> owned on Copy types should be named with a
to_ prefix. Only owned -> owned conversions for non-Copy types should
use an into_ prefix.

Rename into_unchecked to to_unchecked, and into_inner to to_inner in
Address implementation.

This commit is a routine code cleanup that renames some internal conversion functions on the Address type to follow Rust naming conventions. It does not change what the code does, only what the functions are called. The old names are kept as aliases that show a deprecation warning so existing users are not broken.
