Split out methods to every module, apart from 'help' and 'stop' which
are implemented in rpcserver.cpp itself.
- This makes it easier to add or remove RPC commands - no longer everything that includes
rpcserver.h has to be rebuilt when there's a change there.
- Cleans up `rpc/server.h` by getting rid of the huge cluttered list of function definitions.
- Removes most of the bitcoin-specific code from rpcserver.cpp and .h.
Continues #7307 for the non-wallet.
Creates the generatetoaddress rpc which is virtually identical to the generate rpc except that it takes an argument for the address to mine to. It does not rely on wallet functionality.
The mining code shared by generate and generatetoaddress has been moved to another method to reduce duplication.
Since the introduction of the ScriptForMining callback, the mining
functions (setgenerate and generate) crash with an assertion failure
(due to a NULL pointer script returned) if the keypool is empty. Fix
this by giving a proper error.
- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
Ever since #5957 there has been the problem that older RPC test cases
(as can be found plenty in open pulls) use setgenerate() on regtest,
assuming a different interpretation of the arguments. Directly
generating a number of blocks has been split off into a new method
`generate` - however using `setgenerate` with the previous arguments will
result in spawning an unreasonable number of threads, and well, simply
not work as expected without clear indication of the error.
Add an error to point the user at the right method.
Rebased by @laanwj:
- update for RPC methods added since 84d13ee: setmocktime,
invalidateblock, reconsiderblock. Only the first, setmocktime, required a change,
the other two are thread safe.
