In ISO C++, the signedness of 'char' is undefined. On some platforms (e.g.
ARM), 'char' is an unsigned type, but some of the code relies on 'char' being
signed (as it is on x86). This is indicated by compiler warnings like this:
bignum.h: In constructor 'CBigNum::CBigNum(char)':
bignum.h:81:59: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
util.cpp: In function 'bool IsHex(const string&)':
util.cpp:427:28: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
In particular, IsHex erroneously returned true regardless of the input
characters, as long as the length of the string was a positive multiple of 2.
Note: For testing, it's possible using GCC to force char to be unsigned by
adding the -funsigned-char parameter to xCXXFLAGS.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Conflict:
* cs_main in ProcessMessages() (before calling ProcessMessages)
* cs_vSend in CNode::BeginMessage
versus:
* cs_vSend in ThreadMessageHandler2 (before calling SendMessages)
* cs_main in SendMessages
Even though cs_vSend is a try_lock, if it succeeds simultaneously with
the locking of cs_main in ProcessMessages(), it could cause a deadlock.
Since auto-remove-db-logs was enabled, each time a CTxDB was closed
outside of the initial download window, it causes a checkpoint + log
cleanup. This is overkill, so reduce the sync frequency to once per
minute at most.
This is more clear to users than when the program simply disappears (usually during initialization). It still logs the message to the console and debug log as well.
- Move scripts/qt to share/qt, to clean up toplevel directories
- Update english ts file which is used to source messages for Transifex
- In extract_strings_qt.py use a glob *.h *.cpp, this is safe now that the Wx UI files are removed
Open database once per "tx" message, rather than multiple times,
in the case of orphan transaction presence.
As a side effect, a now-unused CTransaction::AcceptToMemoryPool()
variant is removed.
Reference miner exists for testnet-in-a-box type situations, and as a
reference. We don't care enough about highly optimized internal
mining to keep workarounds like this.
* move PROTOCOL_VERSION to version.h
* move CLIENT_VERSION* to version.h, make available past cpp stage
* clearly separate client, network version portions of version.h
Add a pong message that is sent in reply to a ping. It echoes back a nonce
field that is now added to the ping message. Send a nonce of zero in ping
messages.

Modified Mike's change to introduce a mild form of protocol documentation in
version.h.
Where possible, use boost::filesystem::path instead of std::string or
char* for filenames. This avoids a lot of manual string tinkering, in
favor of path::operator/.
GetDataDir is also reworked significantly, it now only keeps two cached
directory names (the network-specific data dir, and the root data dir),
which are decided through a parameter instead of pre-initialized global
variables.
Finally, remove the "upgrade from 0.1.5" case where a debug.log in the
current directory has to be removed.
For Qt builds, the build.h file is moved to build/build.h. For regular
builds, it is moved to obj/build.h. This allows the Qt build to be done
in a different directory than the source, and without interfering with
other builds.
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.
The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.
The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
- converted openBictoinAction to toggleHideAction
- put GUIUtil functions into a namespace instead of a class
- put window-related functions together in optionsdialog
Reasoning:
- toggle is more typical behaviour
- it's more functional
- better UX
The typical issue with toggling visibility is that when a window
is obscured by other windows but in the 'shown' state, hiding it
isn't what you want. I've added an 'isObscured' function to GUIUtil
that checks several pixels in the window to see if they are visible
on the desktop so that an obscured but shown window can be raised.

Keep a global counter for nOutbound, protected with its own waitable
critical section, and wait when all outbound slots are filled, rather
than polling.
This removes the (on average) 1 second delay between a lost connection
and a new connection attempt, and may speed up shutdowns.
This commit simplifies the locking system: CCriticalSection becomes a
simple typedef for boost::interprocess::interprocess_recursive_mutex,
and CCriticalBlock and CTryCriticalBlock are replaced by a templated
CMutexLock, which wraps boost::interprocess::scoped_lock.
By making the lock type a template parameter, some critical sections
can now be changed to non-recursive locks, which support waiting via
condition variables. These are implemented in CWaitableCriticalSection
and WAITABLE_CRITICAL_BLOCK.
CWaitableCriticalSection is a wrapper for a different Boost mutex,
which supports waiting/notification via condition variables. This
should enable us to remove much of the used polling code. Important
is that this mutex is not recursive, so functions that perform the
locking must not call eachother.
Because boost::interprocess::scoped_lock does not support assigning
and copying, I had to revert to the older CRITICAL_BLOCK macros that
use a nested for loop instead of a simple if.
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
- Overall, this is better design
- This fixes problems with the address book UI not updating when the address book is changed through RPC
- Move Statusbar change detection responsibility to ClientModel
It was too hyperactive.
gmaxwell: I mean that right now when the block gap goes over an hour it starts showing synchronizing. Increasing that to 90 minutes or so would make it only happen about 6.4 times per year
Do not automatically change the wallet format unless the user takes an
explicit action that implies an upgrade (encrypting, for now), or uses
-walletupgrade.
-walletupgrade optionally takes an integer argument: the client version
up to which upgrading is allowed. Without an argument, it is upgraded
to latest supported version. If an argument to -walletupgrade is
provided at the time the wallet is created, the new wallet will initially
not use features beyond that version.
Third, the current wallet version number is reported in getinfo.
When a 0.6 wallet with compressed pubkeys is created, it writes a
minversion record to prevent older clients from reading it. If the 0.5
loading it sees a key record before seeing the minversion record however,
it will fail with DB_CORRUPT instead of DB_TOO_NEW.
-checkblocks now takes a numeric argument: the number of blocks that must
be verified at the end of the chain. Default is 2500, and 0 means all
blocks.
-checklevel specifies how thorough the verification must be:
0: only check whether the block exists on disk
1: verify block validity (default)
2: verify transaction index validity
3: check transaction hashes
4: check whether spent txouts were spent within the main chain
5: check whether all prevouts are marked spent
6: check whether spent txouts were spent by a valid transaction that consumes them
In cases of very large reorganisations (hundreds of blocks), a situation
may appear where an 'inv' is sent as response to a 'getblocks', but the
last block mentioned in the inv is already known to the receiver node.
However, the supplying node uses a request for this last block as a
trigger to send the rest of the inv blocks. If it never comes, the block
chain download is stuck.
This commit makes the receiver node always request the last inv'ed block,
even if it is already known, to prevent this problem.
not process any already received messages.
The primary reason to do this is if a node spams hundreds of messages
and we ban them, we don't want to continue processing the rest of it.
