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
Flushing after every line when printing to console is desirable when
running with systemd but setvbuf() has slightly different semantics
on Windows that causes warnings. Just do an explicit fflush() after
each line print to console instead.
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 function `AreBaseParamsConfigured` and use this to check
before writing to the debug log. This avoids assertions when the
application happens to log too early, which happens in the GUI.
Messages logged before the base parameters are configured can be
shown using `-printtoconsole`.
- 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
Currently we use a fixed buffer of 250000 bytes to request
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. In many cases this is not enough, causing the
entropy collection to be skipped.
Use a loop that grows the buffer as specified in the RegQueryValueEx
documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724911%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
(as the size of the performance data can differ for every call, the
normal solution of requesting the size then allocating that can't work)
This commit removes all the unnecessary dependencies (key, core,
netbase, sync, ...) from bitcoin-cli.
To do this it shards the chain parameters into BaseParams, which
contains just the RPC port and data directory (as used by utils and
bitcoin-cli) and Params, with the rest.
Should be merged after pull request #4281
("Add `-version` option to get just the version #4281"),
because is changed "--help" to "-help".
Checked that grep of 'mapArgs.count("--' returned only
three places that are fixed by pull request #4281.
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.
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)
Amend to d5f1e72. It turns out that BerkelyDB was including inttypes.h
indirectly, so we cannot fix this with just macros.
Trivial commit: apply the following script to all .cpp and .h files:
# Middle
sed -i 's/"PRIx64"/x/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRIu64"/u/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRId64"/d/g' "$1"
# Initial
sed -i 's/PRIx64"/"x/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/PRIu64"/"u/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/PRId64"/"d/g' "$1"
# Trailing
sed -i 's/"PRIx64/x"/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRIu64/u"/g' "$1"
sed -i 's/"PRId64/d"/g' "$1"
After this commit, `git grep` for PRI.64 should turn up nothing except
the defines in util.h.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
`-logtodebugger` is a strange, obscure, WIN32-only (mostly MSVC) thing.
Let's clean up the options a bit get rid of it.
test_bitcoin was using fLogToDebugger as a way to prevent logging to
debug.log. For this, add a boolean (not exposed as option) fLogToDebugLog that
defaults to true and is disabled in the tests.
Running -printtodebugger -debug (or -debug=lock),
compiled with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER would infinite loop
on Windows because every critical section lock/unlock
triggers a LogPrint.
Solution is to use the raw boost mutex instead of a CCriticalSection.
