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.
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
e7e48ba test_framework: Py3.4 compat: Specify timeout parameter by name (Luke Dashjr)
d7b80b5 test_framework: Avoid infinite loop in encoding Decimal (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Avoid an infinite loop in encoding, by ensuring EncodeDecimal
returns a string. round(Decimal) used to convert it to
float, but it no longer does in python 3.x. Strings are
supported since #6380, so just use that.
Replace the `bitcoin-cli -rpcwait` after spawning bitcoind
with our own loop that detects when bitcoind exits prematurely.
And if one node fails to start, stop the others.
This prevents a hang in such a case (see #7463).
This makes github-merge.py the first developer tool to go
all Python 3 (for context see #7717).
The changes are straightforward as the script already was
`from __future__ import division,print_function,unicode_literals`.
However urllib2 changed name, and json will only accept unicode data not
bytes.
This retains py2 compatibility for now: not strictly necessary
as it's not used by the build system - but it was easy.
The build date does only makes sense for custom/self-compiled bitcoin-core versions because we are using static build-dates for our deterministic release builds.
Having a quick option to get the current datadir is much more valuable for debug purposes.
The "feefilter" p2p message is used to inform other nodes of your mempool min fee which is the feerate that any new transaction must meet to be accepted to your mempool. This will allow them to filter invs to you according to this feerate.
Adds two RPC tests for the generatetoaddress RPC, one in the wallet, and one when the wallet is disabled.
The wallet RPC Test mines Bitcoin to another node's address and checks that that node has received the Bitcoin.
The RPC test without the wallet mines Bitcoin to an arbitrary address and checks that it works. It then mines to an arbitrary invalid address and checks that that fails.
