Force-pushed to clean up the commit history; no changes to @teor2345's changes, just regrouping them (and squashing some of the fixes into the original commits that didn't make sense to keep in standalone commits).

I don't think this should ever be the case. The compressed representation should not be lossy, it just packs the indices together to remove the effective padding bits that exist in the u32 representation.

~~It may not have been observed, or there could be a subtle difference between the C code and the Rust code in compress_array().~~

Update: Yeah, something must be wrong if identical solutions were observed, I'll check for changes to the logic in equi_miner.c, everything else looks equivalent to the zcashd logic.

Update: Duplicate solutions were observed prior to a bug fix, is there any chance that the solver could produce duplicate uncompressed solutions?

I'm inclined to remove this and the other introduced debugging print statements, unless anyone else disagrees.

I think we should keep the debug print statements and consider adding more.

Force-pushed to clean up the feature flagging in the build script, and add C #ifdefs to prevent some warnings.

I don't think there is value in exposing the API for uncompressed solutions; block headers only use compressed solutions, and this crate's other existing API is only for verifying compressed solutions. So I'll probably just make this internal.

What I do want to think about before merging is how to handle configurable parameters. We will need at least two parameter sets (for mainnet and regtest), and depending on how that will be enabled in the C code, we might end up supporting any parameter set. But if we don't then we should probably instead have an enum or a generic parameter for selecting which Equihash parameters to solve with.

This is currently true for Zebra's use case. I see no harm in exposing the API for uncompressed solutions either, so solutions could be compressed outside this crate more easily (though it seems unlikely that anyone will actually do that).

It may be useful to allow for configurable parameters for custom testnets to allow for picking even easier parameters instead of disabling PoW checks altogether for ephemeral testnets, or harder ones than those used by regtest for testnets that are intended to be used for longer periods.

Let me know what you decide so we can make the parameters configurable in Zebra if they're configurable here.

Update: Configurable parameters don't seem easy to add, let's allow the Regtest parameters later but leave it there.

This looks like it should work so far, and none of my suggestions are blockers, feel free to resolve any/all of them without making changes.

I'm still reviewing equi_miner.c in detail, but everything else looks equivalent to the logic in zcashd, at least for the Mainnet parameters.

Update: Collision errors are still being logged here (and DuplicateIdxs errors).

This seems like an unnecessary change from the c++ logic, it should panic in minimal_from_indices() before it gets here when using parameters that would be affected by the change.

Suggested change

.wrapping_shl(8 * (in_width - x - 1) as u32); // Big-endian

) << (8 * (in_width - x - 1) as u32); // Big-endian

Is it possible this is a problem if it's different than what the original code was doing?

@str4d Testing indicates that there are still some issues in equi_miner.c, but I think we should document this as an experimental feature and otherwise merge it as-is, because it usually works, the occasional unexpected errors are handled gracefully, the internal-miner feature in Zebra that uses it is already documented as experimental, we need to merge it to publish a version of zebrad that could support a Zebra-only Testnet, and zcashd is being deprecated soon enough that de-duplicating the code here with what zcashd is using may not be worthwhile.

We could try porting it over to Rust or fixing the occasional issues in the current C code once the resource-constrained steps needed to deploy NU7 are complete. Running this code via Zebra could produce some helpful debug output if we keep the debug print statements and perhaps add more of them.

If we don't want to document it as an experimental feature, a pair review of equi_miner.c could be helpful for figuring out what's causing the Collision and DuplicateIdxserrors.
