`bitcoind -X -noX` ends up, unintuitively, with `X` set.
(for all boolean options X)
This result is due to the odd two-pass processing of arguments. This
patch fixes this oddity and simplifies the code at the same time.
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.
- rpcwallet: No need to lock twice here
- openssl: Clang doesn't understand selective lock/unlock here. Ignore it.
- CNode: Fix a legitimate (though very unlikely) locking bug.
Most people expect a value of 1 to enable all for command line arguments.
However to do this for the -debug option you must type "-debug=".
This has been changed to allow "-debug=1" as well as "-debug=" to
enable all debug logging
The scope of `std::locale::global` appears to be smaller than `setenv("LC_ALL", ...)` and insufficient to fix messed up locale settings for the whole application.
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.
