Code:
if (locator.IsNull())
{
// If locator is null, return the hashStop block
BlockMap::iterator mi = mapBlockIndex.find(hashStop);
if (mi == mapBlockIndex.end())
return true;
pindex = (*mi).second;
}
else
{
// Find the last block the caller has in the main chain
pindex = FindForkInGlobalIndex(chainActive, locator);
if (pindex)
pindex = chainActive.Next(pindex);
}
...
CBlockIndex* FindForkInGlobalIndex(const CChain& chain, const CBlockLocator& locator)
{
// Find the first block the caller has in the main chain
BOOST_FOREACH(const uint256& hash, locator.vHave) {
BlockMap::iterator mi = mapBlockIndex.find(hash);
if (mi != mapBlockIndex.end())
{
CBlockIndex* pindex = (*mi).second;
if (chain.Contains(pindex))
return pindex;
}
}
return chain.Genesis();
}
I have no clue why there is a different behavior if the locator is null.
