Opt-in RBF checkbox uses less technical jargon and emphasises
the fee bump functionality (at the expense of not mentioning
other uses of RBF).
The transaction confirmation screen uses copy consistent with this.
- Added `help-console` to the list of autocompletion strings
- Implemented requested changes to help message:
- Added an example that uses access-by-index `getblock(getblockhash(0) true)[tx][0]`
- Replace "bracketed syntax" to "parenthesized syntax" where applicable
- Replace "separate" with "delimit"
- Removed `<br>` and `<b>help/help-console</b>` from translation strings, since these parts don't change between languages
- Changed examples to be based off `getblock 0` so they will work even with pruned/no blockchain and `disablewallet` if copied and pasted
- Clarified syntax for queries of named/unnamed result objects.
Currently it's possible to accidentally type e.g.
bitcoin-cli -getinfo getbalance
and get an answer which can be confusing; the trialing arguments are
just ignored.
To avoid this, throw an error if the user provides arguments to
`-getinfo`.
This makes all include paths in the GUI absolute.
Many changes are involved as every single source file in
src/qt/ assumes to be able to use relative includes.
Change feebumper from a stateful class into a namespace of stateless
functions.
Having the results of feebumper calls persist in an object makes process
separation between Qt and wallet awkward, because it means the feebumper object
either has to be serialized back and forth between Qt and wallet processes
between fee bump calls, or that the feebumper object needs to stay alive in the
wallet process with an object reference passed back to Qt. It's simpler just to
have fee bumper calls return their results immediately instead of storing them
in an object with an extended lifetime.
In addition to making feebumper stateless, also:
- Move LOCK calls from Qt code to feebumper
- Move TransactionCanBeBumped implementation from Qt code to feebumper
Future commit will remove the FeeBumper class. This commit simply places
everything into a feebumper namespace, and changes the enum class name
from BumpeFeeResult to feebumper::Result.
Future PRs will completely refactor this translation unit and touch all
this code so we rename the variables to follow project stlye guidelines
in this preparation commit.
Don't use m_ prefixes for member variables since we're going to remove
the class entirely in the next commits.
Static analyzer (and humans!) will see ...
```
else if (state.m_chain_sync.m_timeout == 0 || (state.m_chain_sync.m_work_header != nullptr && ...
```
... and infer that state.m_chain_sync.m_work_header might be set to nullptr,
and thus flag `state.m_chain_sync.m_work_header->GetBlockHash().ToString()`
as a potential null pointer dereference.
This commit makes the tacit assumption (m_work_header != nullptr) explicit.
Code introduced in 5a6d00 ("Permit disconnection of outbound peers on
bad/slow chains") which was merged into master four days ago.
We should generally avoid writing to debug.log unconditionally for
inbound peers which misbehave (the peer being about to be banned
being an exception, since they cannot do this twice).
To avoid removing logs for outbound peers, a new log is added to
notify users when a new outbound peer is connected which mimics
the version print.
BOOST_CHECK_THROW merely checks that some std::runtime_error is
thrown, but not which one.
One example of how this could lead to a test passing when a developer
introduces a consensus bug: the test for the sigops limit assumes
that CreateNewBlock fails with bad-blk-sigops. However it can
also fail with bad-txns-vout-negative, e.g. if a naive developer lowers
BLOCKSUBSIDY to 1*COIN in the test.
BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION allows an additional predicate function. This
commit uses this for all exceptions that are checked for in
miner_tets.cpp:
* bad-blk-sigops
* bad-cb-multiple
* bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent
* block-validation-failed
An instance of the CheckRejectInvalid class (for a given validation string)
is passed to BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION.
