7df9224 doc: Add note about new build/test requirements to release notes (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
2aacc72 build: update ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx to serial 4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
a398549 depends: use c++11 (Cory Fields)
67969af build: Enable C++11 build, require C++11 compiler (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Disabling warnings can be tricky, because doing so can cause a different
compiler to create new warnings about unsupported disable flags. Also, some
warnings don't surface until they're paired with another warning (gcc). For
example, adding "-Wno-foo" won't cause any trouble, but if there's a legitimate
warning emitted, the "unknown option -Wno-foo" will show up as well.
Work around this in 2 ways:
1. When checking to see if -Wno-foo is supported, check for "-Wfoo" instead.
2. Enable -Werror while checking 1.
If "-Werror -Wfoo" compiles, "-Wno-foo" is almost guaranteed to be supported.
-Werror itself is also checked. If that fails to compile by itself, it likely
means that the user added a flag that adds a warning. In that case, -Werror
won't be used while checking, and the build may be extra noisy. The user would
need to fix the bad input flag.
Also, silence 2 more additional warnings that can show up post-c++11.
leveldb's buildsystem causes us a few problems:
- breaks out-of-tree builds
- forces flags used for some tools
- limits cross builds
Rather than continuing to add wrappers around it, simply integrate it into our
build.
Unfortunately, the target namees defined at the Makefile.am level can't be used
for *.in substitution. So these new defines will have to stay synced up with
those targets.
Using the new variables for the deploy targets in the main Makefile.am will
ensure that they stay in sync, otherwise build tests will fail.
This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
The old configure.ac did not work for a copyright holders string
containing commas due to insufficient quoting. The new one allows this.
While this is, of course, not of direct consequence to the current code
(where the string is "Bitcoin Core"), it should still be fixed now that
the string is actually factored out.
Due to include ordering, defining in one place was not enough to ensure correct
usage. Use global defines so that we don't have to worry abou this ordering.
Also add a comment in configure about the test.
This is ugly, but temporary. boost::filesystem will likely be dropped soon
after c++11 is enabled. Otherwise, we could simply roll our own copy_file. I've
fixed this at the buildsystem level for now in order to avoid mixing in
functional changes.
Explanation:
If boost (prior to 1.57) was built without c++11, it emulated scoped enums
using c++98 constructs. Unfortunately, this implementation detail leaked into
the abi. This was fixed in 1.57.
When building against that installed version using c++11, the headers pick up
on the native c++11 scoped enum support and enable it, however it will fail to
link. This can be worked around by disabling c++11 scoped enums if linking will
fail.
Add an autoconf test to determine incompatibility. At build-time, if native
enums are being used (a c++11 build), and force-disabling them causes a
successful link, we can be sure that there's an incompatibility and enable the
work-around.
Because Python is (going to be) used to run the RPC tests, when
gathering coverage data with lcov, it is explicitly checked, whether
Python is really available.

a3874c7 doc: no longer require use of openssl in OpenBSD build guide (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
5978388 build: remove libressl check (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Now that BIP66 passed, OpenSSL is no longer directly part of the
consensus. What matters is that DER signatures are correctly parsed, and
secp256k1 crypto is implemented correctly (as well as the other
functions we use from OpenSSL, such as random number generation)
This means that effectively, using LibreSSL is not a larger risk than
using another version of OpenSSL.
Remove the specific check for LibreSSL.
Includes the still-relevant part of #6729: make sure CHECK_HEADER is
called using the right CXXFLAGS, not CFLAGS (as AC_LANG is c++).
Benchmarking framework, loosely based on google's micro-benchmarking
library (https://github.com/google/benchmark)
Wny not use the Google Benchmark framework? Because adding Even More Dependencies
isn't worth it. If we get a dozen or three benchmarks and need nanosecond-accurate
timings of threaded code then switching to the full-blown Google Benchmark library
should be considered.
The benchmark framework is hard-coded to run each benchmark for one wall-clock second,
and then spits out .csv-format timing information to stdout. It is left as an
exercise for later (or maybe never) to add command-line arguments to specify which
benchmark(s) to run, how long to run them for, how to format results, etc etc etc.
Again, see the Google Benchmark framework for where that might end up.
See src/bench/MilliSleep.cpp for a sanity-test benchmark that just benchmarks
'sleep 100 milliseconds.'
To compile and run benchmarks:
cd src; make bench
Sample output:
Benchmark,count,min,max,average
Sleep100ms,10,0.101854,0.105059,0.103881
