Switch to using Qt's QLocalServer/QLocalSocket to handle bitcoin
payment links (bitcoin:... URIs)
Reason for switch: the boost::interprocess mechanism seemed flaky,
and doesn't mesh as well with "The Qt Way"
qtipcserver.cpp/h is replaced by paymentserver.cpp/h
Click-to-pay now also works on OSX, with a custom Info.plist
that registers Bitcoin-Qt as a handler for bitcoin: URLs and
an event listener on the main QApplication that handles
QFileOpenEvents (Qt translates 'url clicked' AppleEvents into
QFileOpenEvents automagically).
- this pull adds an InitMessage() function to noui.cpp, which outputs init
messages to debug.log (this allows to remove some printf() calls from
init.cpp)
- change InitMessage() in bitcoin.cpp to also write init messages to
debug.log to ensure nothting is missing in the log because of the
removal of printf() calls in init.cpp
- this prevents an interference with the IPC message queue (which is used
for URI processing) when running a testnet and mainnet instance in
parallel
- to check for testnet, I had to raise the ParseParameters() call in
main() to the topmost position
- fix ThreadSafeMessageBox always displays error icon
- allow to specify MSG_ERROR / MSG_WARNING or MSG_INFORMATION without a
custom caption / title
- allow to specify CClientUIInterface::ICON_ERROR / ICON_WARNING and
ICON_INFORMATION (which is default) as message box icon
- remove CClientUIInterface::OK from ThreadSafeMessageBox-calls, as
the OK button will be set as default, if none is specified
- prepend "Bitcoin - " to used captions
- rename BitcoinGUI::error() -> BitcoinGUI::message() and add function
documentation
- change all style parameters and enum flags to unsigned
- update code to use that new API
- update Client- and WalletModel to use new BitcoinGUI::message() and
rename the classes error() method into message()
- include the possibility to supply the wanted icon for messages from
Client- and WalletModel via "style" parameter
- add IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK for ipcThread()
- log / print boost interprocess exceptions
- use MAX_URI_LENGTH in guiconstants.h (also used in qrcodedialog.cpp)
- remove unneeded includes and ipcShutdown() from qtipcserver.cpp
- fix a small mem-leak by deleting mq before re-using it
- make ipcThread() and ipcThread2() static functions
- add some more comments
Compiling boost::interprocess::message_queue against
boost 1.50 macports with -arch i386 (how releases are built,
for minimum download size and maximum compatibility) is failing:
src/qt/qtipcserver.cpp:37: error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::interprocess::message_queue_t<boost::interprocess::offset_ptr<void, int, long unsigned int, 0u> >::timed_receive(char (*)[257], long unsigned int, size_t&, unsigned int&, boost::posix_time::ptime&)’
This is probably a boost or macports bug, but since interprocess::message_queue
is only used for URI support, which isn't implemented on OSX anyway, I fixed
the build by #ifdef'ing out that code.
On Linux/Mac the command-line options were printed to stderr when the button
was pressed in the debug window, resulting in confusion. This is fixed
in this commit by adding a separate method.
- Signals now go directly from the core to WalletModel/ClientModel.
- WalletModel subscribes to signals on CWallet: Prepares for multi-wallet support, by no longer assuming an implicit global wallet.
- Gets rid of noui.cpp, the few lines that were left are merged into init.cpp
- Rename wxXXX message flags to MF_XXX, to make them UI indifferent.
- ThreadSafeMessageBox no longer returns the value `4` which was never used, converted to void.
Gets rid of `MainFrameRepaint` in favor of specific update functions that tell the UI exactly what changed.
This improves the efficiency of various handlers. Also fixes problems with mined transactions not showing up until restart.
The following notifications were added:
- `NotifyBlocksChanged`: Block chain changed
- `NotifyKeyStoreStatusChanged`: Wallet status (encrypted, locked) changed.
- `NotifyAddressBookChanged`: Address book entry changed.
- `NotifyTransactionChanged`: Wallet transaction added, removed or updated.
- `NotifyNumConnectionsChanged`: Number of connections changed.
- `NotifyAlertChanged`: New, updated or cancelled alert. As this finally makes it possible for the UI to know when a new alert arrived, it can be shown as OS notification.
These notifications could also be useful for RPC clients. However, currently, they are ignored in bitcoind (in noui.cpp).
Also brings back polling with timer for numBlocks in ClientModel. This value updates so frequently during initial download that the number of signals clogs the UI thread and causes heavy CPU usage. And after initial block download, the value changes so rarely that a delay of half a second until the UI updates is unnoticable.
- Solves #1278, attempts to address #1049
- Removes \t's from help message that are removed afterwards anyway
- Moves UI-specific command-line options help to UI code
- Moves "-detachdb" out of #ifdef USE_UPNP
Implemented without having to touch any translation: by listening for QEvent::ToolTipChange events, then rewriting the tooltips to prefix `<qt/>` if it is not yet rich text.
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.
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.
- 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
