- add missing NULL pointer checks
- add better comments and reorder some code in rpcconsole.cpp
- remove unneeded leftovers in bantable.cpp
- update bantable column sizes to prevent cutting of banned until
- remove banListChanged signal from client model
- directly call clientModel->getBanTableModel()->refresh() without the way
over clientModel->updateBanlist()
- also fix clearing peer detail window, when selecting (clicking)
peers in the ban list
Implement RPCTimerHandler for Qt RPC console, so that `walletpassphrase`
works with GUI and `-server=0`.
Also simplify HTTPEvent-related code by using boost::function directly.
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*.
boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no
forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert
json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with
regard to compile-time slowness.
- *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling
is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism)
is used to handle application requests.
- *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly
HTTP-server-neutral
- *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*.
Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC
backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC
mechanisms people may want to use.
- *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL
paths they want to handle.
By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used
by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided.
What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests
pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support.
Configuration options:
- `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still
defaults to 4.
- `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new
requests will return a 500 Internal Error.
- `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a
client.
- `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
- add static verifySize() function to PaymentServer and move the logging
on error into the function
- also use the new function in the unit test
- the function checks if the size is allowed as per BIP70
- remove an unneeded include of net.h in peertablemodel.cpp
- add const after size() in PeerTablePriv
- remove 2x unneeded else in functions
- replace a (int) typecast by (QVariant) to use Qt style
- remove unneeded include of peertablemodel.h from rpcconsole.cpp
Introduce a PlatformStyle to handle platform-specific customization of
the UI.
This replaces 'scicon', as well as #ifdefs to determine whether to place
icons on buttons.
The selected PlatformStyle defaults to the platform that the application
was compiled on, but can be overridden from the command line with
`-uiplatform=<x>`.
Also fixes the warning from #6328.
This indicates that, eg, we have a public key for a key which may
be used as a pay-to-pubkey-hash. It generally means that we can
create a valid scriptSig except for missing private key(s) with
which to create signatures.
QT_NO_KEYWORDS prevents Qt from defining the `foreach`, `signals`,
`slots` and `emit` macros.
Avoid overlap between Qt macros and boost - for example #undef hackiness
in #6421.
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.
- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
Previously due to an off-by-one error the wallet ignored
nLockTime-by-height transactions that would be valid in the next block
even though they are accepted into the mempool. The transactions
wouldn't show up until confirmed, nor would they be included in the
unconfirmed balance. Similar to the mempool behavior fix in 665bdd3b,
the wallet code was calling IsFinalTx() directly without taking into
account the fact that doing so tells you if the transaction could have
been mined in the *current* block, rather than the next block.
To fix this we strip IsFinalTx() of non-consensus-critical
functionality, removing the default arguments, and add CheckFinalTx() to
check if a transaction will be final in the next block.
