Commit message · Andrew Poelstra
remove some pointer casts
I grepped the codebase for `as \*` and found a few places where we were doing explicit pointer casts but we could've been using std methods. The methods are safer because they don't allow changing mutability (unless we use cast_const or cast_mut, which don't allow changing the type).
There are a few instances remaining where we cast to pointers to unsized types. These are actually fat raw pointers and they don't have std methods. Now they stand out because of the use of `as *`.
This commit might require a bit of thought to review, and it turns out it has nothing to do with the MSRV bump (which gave us cast_const and cast_mut, but actually we don't use those, thankfully..).
As a bit of trivia, though, the new cast_mut and cast_const methods were originally proposed and implemented by our own Kixunil:

This commit is a small cleanup that replaces some old-style pointer type conversions with newer, safer Rust standard-library methods. It does not fix a known security bug, but it reduces the chance that a future code change accidentally introduces a dangerous pointer mistake. The actual behavior of the program should be unchanged.
There is one `is_some_and` usage, but everything else is about using the new `div_ceil` method. I didn't look closely at any of these but there were a lot of them and I'll bet at least one was actually a panic bug that's fixed now.

This commit is a routine code cleanup triggered by new warnings from the Rust linter (Clippy). It replaces hand-written 'round up to next multiple' calculations with Rust's newer built-in `div_ceil` method, and swaps one `map_or(false, ...)` for `is_some_and(...)`. The commit message itself jokes that at least one of these might have been a panic bug, but the actual diff shows no change in behavior or fix for a known crash. There is no disclosed security issue and no evidence this patch addresses an active vulnerability.
This commit fixes two spelling mistakes in a documentation file (`docs/crypto.md`). It changes 'cryto' to 'crypto' and 'PriviateKey' to 'PrivateKey'. There are no code changes, no functional changes, and no security implications.

rename GenericScript to Script
Now that Script/ScriptBuf are gone we can re-claim the names for the generic versions. This means that users of the library, after this PR, *should* have code that largely continues to work. They will need to replace Script/ScriptBuf with a specific tagged script type in
* function signatures * places where type inference can't figure it out (which should be fairly rare, since all the library methods here use specific tags now, except a couple sighash ones)

primitives: delete Script and ScriptSig
This commit confirms that there is not a single untouched script instance across the project; every one has been converted to a tagged script.
This triggers a number of doc changes which should have gone into previous commits. I apologize for that. But it's a PITA to go back and locate exactly which commit each doc change was supposed to go into.
In bitcoin/src/network/params.rs I changed the signet example to use a WitnessScript. I wasn't sure if this script is interpreted as a witness script or a scriptpubkey on Signet itself so I guessed.
In p2p/src/message.rs there is a "script" that is actually just a blob of raw bytes (that happens to be a script) used in a "test" of the bloom filter messages. See https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/pull/580 where this was added for discussion about script vs bytes.
(BTW why did I let a bloom filtering PR into this project? This whole system was a bad idea and a DoS vector. Is it even used?)

primitives: split WitnessScript and WitnessScriptBuf from script
Ok, after the previous huge/ugly commits, this one is pretty cathartic. I introduced the new type, used it for every field named `witness_script` and all the constructors for `WScriptHash`, chased through all the compiler bugs, and everything "just worked".
There is one oddity: in BIP143 there is a special-cased scriptcode construction used for P2SH-wrapped segwit. We have methods that compute this. To make the types line up (without introducing new traits and generics) I simply typed the special-case thing as a WitnessScript, since that's what it's pretending to be. I added a doccomment to all the methods that compute this.
This is a mild abuse of the `WitnessScript` type, since this special-case object really isn't a witness script (though you could use it as one, and trick wallets in mostly-harmless ways by doing so ... but this is a bug in Bitcoin, not in our library!). But only a mild one, and I think it does a *way* better job of guiding the user through the script-mangling weirdness around sighashes and p2sh/p2wsh wrapping.
The final tag is TapScript, which will be done in the next commit. Then I can throw away the Whatever tag, delete `Script`/`ScriptBuf`, and finally rename `GenericScript`/`GenericScriptBuf` to those names.

This commit is a large internal refactoring in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces a new dedicated type, WitnessScript, for Segwit v0 witness scripts and uses it wherever the code previously used the generic Script type for that purpose. The change is primarily about making the type system guide users to the correct Bitcoin concepts. The commit message explicitly notes one deliberate design oddity: for BIP143 P2SH-wrapped-segwit sighash calculations, the returned object is typed as WitnessScript even though it is technically a special-case template, not a real witness script. The author calls this a 'mild abuse' and documents it. There is no bug fix for a runtime vulnerability in the diff; the security relevance is that stronger typing may help prevent future API misuse.
Security candidateprimitives: split ScriptPubKey and ScriptPubKeyBuf from generic scriptby Andrew Poelstra · c89e70e8 · Aug 22, 2025 · 32 filesMessage 85 · StrongInformational 19Details
Commit message · Andrew Poelstra
primitives: split ScriptPubKey and ScriptPubKeyBuf from generic script
There are a couple places where (in Bitcoin, not just this crate) there is confusion between scriptPubKeys and redeemScripts. Specifically, in P2SH-wrapped segwit, we put a segwit scriptpubkey into a redeemScript slot and then it must be treated as both.
The next commit will introduce the RedeemScript type and a trait that covers both RedeemScript and ScriptPubKey.
Meanwhile, there are a couple methods that belong in this trait, which in this commit I just implemented for GenericScript<T> for all T:
* in bitcoin/src/crypto/sighash.rs all the sighash methods * in primitives/src/script/mod.rs the ScriptHash constructors * in bitcoin/src/script/mod.rs for new_witness_program_unchecked * in bitcoin/src/script/borrowed.rs for all the p2sh methods * in bitcoin/src/script/owned.rs for the new_p2wpkh constructor
In the next commit we will tighten these so that they are only applicable to the two types RedeemScript and ScriptPubKey. (Really, we want to tighten them so that they're applicable only to RedeemScript and some more-specific SegwitV0ScriptPubKey type. But I think that would be a bridge too far: if we had multiple scriptpubkey types then what would we put in TxOut::script_pubkey?)

primitives: split ScriptSig and ScriptSigBuf from Script and ScriptBuf
Adds an extension trait ScriptSigExt with a single method, redeem_script, which isn't used anywhere (or even tested) but seems useful enough so we'll keep it.
Regarding extension traits: annoyingly I need to add a new extension trait for every tagged script. In a sensible language I could just use the existing trait and stick `where Tag == ScriptSigTag` onto the methods that were specific to script sigs, but Rust is not sensible. It has a fractal surface area where there is no part of the syntax that you can ever understand all the rules of.

There were multiple places in bitcoin/src/blockdata/script/tests.rs where we were being sloppy and reinterpreting redeem scripts as witness scripts and vice-versa. I am happy to say these no longer compile :).
This completes the hard part of script tagging -- we still need to add WitnessScript and TapScript, but these are part of "modern" Bitcoin and therefore aren't randomly cast to/from other script types.
