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.
Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cli
(leveldb, berkelydb, wallet, RPC server)
Build system changes:
- split libbitcoin.a into libbitcoin_common.a, libbitcoin_server.a and
libbitcoin_cli.a
Code changes (movement only):
- split up HelpMessage into HelpMessage in init.cpp and HelpMessageCli
in rpcclient.cpp
- move uiInterface from init.cpp to util.cpp
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
- re-work -debug help message text
- make -debug log every debugging information again (even all categories)
- remove unneeded fDebug checks in front of LogPrint()/qDebug(), as that
check is done in LogPrintf() when category is != NULL (true for all
LogPrint() calls
- remove fDebug ONLY in code which is NOT performance-critical
- harmonize addrman category name
- deprecate -debugnet usage, should be used via -debug=net and remove the
corresponding global
class template base_uint had its own private lookup table.
This is saving 256 bytes per instantiation.
The result is not spectacular as bitcoin-qt has only shrinked of
about 1Kb but it is still valid improvement.
Also, I have replaced a for loop with a memset() call.
Made CBigNum::SetHex() use the new HexDigit() function.

This ensures the allocator is ready no matter when it's needed (as
some STL implementations allocate in constructors -- i.e., MSVC's STL
in debug builds).
Using boost::call_once to guarantee thread-safe static initialization.
Adding some comments describing why the change was made.
Addressing deinitialization of the LockedPageManager object
by initializing it in a local static initializer and adding
an assert in the base's destructor.
As we'd previously learned, OSX's fsync is a data eating lie.
Since 0.8.4 we're still getting some reports of disk corruption on
OSX but now all of it looks like the block files have gotten out of
sync with the database. It turns out that we were still using fsync()
on the block files, so this isn't surprising.
The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds
most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks.
The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the
bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate
implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence.
The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine
a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing
apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for
a block on the testnet.
