If we had used a hash // tree, an attacker could send us a series of values which stretch out one // of the hash chains, causing us to do much more work than normal. // 2) We can write it to use a fixed block of memory: avoiding fragmentation // issues and so forth. (We might be able to do that with the STL // algorithms and a custom allocator, but I don't want to go there.) // 3) It's simple (compared to balanced binary trees) and doesn't involve // bouncing nearly as many cache lines around. // 4) It allows us to query for the oldest element in log(n) time. // // This code is based on djb's public domain critbit tree from qhasm. // // A critbit tree has external and internal nodes. External nodes are just the // nonce values (which are stored with internal times, see below, and without // the orbit values included). Internal nodes contain the bit number at which // the tree is branching and exactly two children. The critical bit is stored // as a byte number and a byte (|otherbits|) which has all the bits set // /except/ the one in question. // // Internal nodes have exactly two children: an internal node with only a // single child would be useless. // // The branching bit number (considering the MSB to be the 1st bit) is // monotonically increasing as you go down the tree. // // There are two distinct time representations used. External times are those // which are exposed to the users of this class. They are expected to be a // count of the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. Internal times are a // count of the number of seconds since a point in time a couple of years // before the creation time given to the constructor.
