BitCoin源码研究(1)-Base58编码
Base58编码由58个数字和大小写字母组成,BitCoin源码中定义及注释如下:
/** All alphanumeric characters except for "0", "I", "O", and "l" */
static const char* pszBase58 = "123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz";
如unsigned char ucData[4] = { 0x39, 0x3a, 0x3b, 0x3c };的base58编码过程如下:
1、先计算ucData开头为0x00的个数 zeros ,这里zeros = 0;
while (pbegin != pend && *pbegin == 0) {
pbegin++;
zeroes++;
}
2、跳过开头的zeros个0x00,计算所需要的缓存
int size = (pend - pbegin) * 138 / 100 + 1; // log(256) / log(58), rounded up.
3、256进制转58进制的计算
std::vector
// Process the bytes.
while (pbegin != pend) {
int carry = *pbegin;
int i = 0;
// Apply "b58 = b58 * 256 + ch".
for (std::vector
(carry != 0 || i < length) && (it != b58.rend()); it++, i++) {
carry += 256 * (*it);
*it = carry % 58;
carry /= 58;
}
assert(carry == 0);
length = i;
pbegin++;
}
4、输出编码结果
先在字符串前补上zeros 个1 ,后面的依次缀加DstByte对应的 pszBase58 字符
