Prevents stomping on debug logs in datadirs that are locked by other
instances and lost parameter interaction messages that can get wiped by
ShrinkDebugFile().
The log is now opened explicitly and all emitted messages are buffered
until this open occurs. The version message and log cut have also been
moved to the earliest possible sensible location.
To determine the default for `-par`, the number of script verification
threads, use [boost:🧵:physical_concurrency()](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.physical_concurrency)
which counts only physical cores, not virtual cores.
Virtual cores are roughly a set of cached registers to avoid context
switches while threading, they cannot actually perform work, so spawning
a verification thread for them could even reduce efficiency and will put
undue load on the system.
Should fix issue #6358, as well as some other reported system overload
issues, especially on Intel processors.
The function was only introduced in boost 1.56, so provide a utility
function `GetNumCores` to fall back for older Boost versions.
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format works even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.

Help messages correctly formatted for SVGA text mode (132 chars)
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format should work even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.
Fix - syntax error
Correct formatting for 79 chars
Correctly based on C++ functions
Removed spare spaces from option strings
Fix - syntax error
Always make a pid file, not only when `-daemon` specified.
This is useful for troubleshooting, for attaching debuggers and loggers
and such.
- Write the pid file only after the datadir lock was acquired
- Don't create or remove a pid file on WIN32, and also don't show the option
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
- add a small wrapper in util around RAND_bytes() and replace with
GetRandBytes() in the code to log errors from calling RAND_bytes()
- remove OpenSSL header rand.h where no longer needed
bitcoin-config.h moved, but the old file is likely to still exist when
reconfiguring or switching branches. This would've caused files to not rebuild
correctly, and other strange problems.
Make the path explicit so that the old one cannot be found.
Core libs use config/bitcoin-config.h.
Libs (like crypto) which don't want access to bitcoin's headers continue
to use -Iconfig and #include bitcoin-config.h.

None of the current integer parsing functions in util
check whether the result is valid and fits in the range
of the type. This is required for less sloppy error reporting.
Size specifiers are no longer needed now that we use typesafe tinyformat
for string formatting, instead of the system's sprintf.
No functional changes.
This continues the work in #3735.
Just a pet peeve.
(PrintException has exactly the same body as PrintExceptionContinue but
does a re-throw at the end. Move these re-throws to the call
site, this aids understanding what is going on as well as eliminates a
bit of code duplication in util.cpp)
This was a bad idea. This can't be solved with macros as any
other library that includes inttypes.h will get in the way.
The parent commit has removed all usages from the source, this commit
removes the definition.
