Merge #16957: 9% less memory: make SaltedOutpointHasher noexcept
67d9990 make SaltedOutpointHasher noexcept (Martin Ankerl)
Pull request description:
If the hash is not `noexcept`, `unorderd_map` has to assume that it can throw an exception. Thus when rehashing care needs to be taken. libstdc++ solves this by simply caching the hash value, which increases memory of each node by 8 bytes. Adding `noexcept` prevents this caching. In my experiments with `-reindex-chainstate -stopatheight=594000`, memory usage (maximum resident set size) has decreased by 9.4% while runtime has increased by 1.6% due to additional hashing. Additionally, memusage::DynamicUsage() is now more accurate and does not underestimate.
