Motivation
We need to change how
Utxo
s are created as part of #2231.The deduplicated function will be used in a future PR to check for double-spends.
Priority and Risk
It is easier and less risky to make the changes required for double-spend validation in a single function.
The alternative is making the same changes at 3 separate places in the code, and trying to keep them all in sync.
Solution
new_outputs
functionAs a side-effect, this change avoids re-calculating some transaction hashes.
This is part of ticket #2231, but it does not close that ticket.
Review
Anyone can review this PR. It's not urgent.
Reviewer Checklist
This function will also be tested as part of the double-spend tests in a future PR.
Follow Up Work
Actually check for double-spends
