Detailed Description

The block chain is a tree shaped structure starting with the genesis block at the root, with each block potentially having multiple candidates to be the next block.

A blockindex may have multiple pprev pointing to it, but at most one of them can be part of the currently active branch.

◆ HaveNumChainTxs()

bool CBlockIndex::HaveNumChainTxs ( ) const

inline

Check whether this block and all previous blocks back to the genesis block or an assumeutxo snapshot block have reached VALID_TRANSACTIONS and had transactions downloaded (and stored to disk) at some point.

Does not imply the transactions are consensus-valid (ConnectTip might fail) Does not imply the transactions are still stored on disk. (IsBlockPruned might return true)

Note that this will be true for the snapshot base block, if one is loaded, since its m_chain_tx_count value will have been set manually based on the related AssumeutxoData entry.
