Seems providing at least minimal visibility to the failure is a good practice.
The only remaining ignored state is in LoadExternalBlockFile, where logging
would likely be spammy.

The weekly meeting on [2017-12-07](http://www.erisian.com.au/meetbot/bitcoin-core-dev/2017/bitcoin-core-dev.2017-12-07-19.00.log.html) discussed allowing options to bitcoin to have some sensitivity to what network is in use. @theuni suggested having sections in the config file:
<cfields> an alternative to that would be sections in a config file. and on the
cmdline they'd look like namespaces. so, [testnet] port=5. or -testnet::port=5.
This approach is (more or less) supported by `boost::program_options::detail::config_file_iterator` -- when it sees a `[testnet]` section with `port=5`, it will treat that the same as "testnet.port=5". So `[testnet] port=5` (or `testnet.port=5` without the section header) in bitcoin.conf and `-testnet.port=5` on the command line.
The other aspect to this question is possibly limiting some options so that there is no possibility of accidental cross-contamination across networks. For example, if you're using a particular wallet.dat on mainnet, you may not want to accidentally use the same wallet on testnet and risk reusing keys.
I've set this up so that the `-addnode` and `-wallet` options are `NETWORK_ONLY`, so that if you have a bitcoin.conf:
wallet=/secret/wallet.dat
upnp=1
and you run `bitcoind -testnet` or `bitcoind -regtest`, then the `wallet=` setting will be ignored, and should behave as if your bitcoin.conf had specified:
upnp=1
[main]
wallet=/secret/wallet.dat
For any `NETWORK_ONLY` options, if you're using `-testnet` or `-regtest`, you'll have to add the prefix to any command line options. This was necessary for `multiwallet.py` for instance.
I've left the "default" options as taking precedence over network specific ones, which might be backwards. So if you have:
maxmempool=200
[regtest]
maxmempool=100
your maxmempool will still be 200 on regtest. The advantage of doing it this way is that if you have `[regtest] maxmempool=100` in bitcoin.conf, and then say `bitcoind -regtest -maxmempool=200`, the same result is probably in line with what you expect...
The other thing to note is that I'm using the chain names from `chainparamsbase.cpp` / `ChainNameFromCommandLine`, so the sections are `[main]`, `[test]` and `[regtest]`; not `[mainnet]` or `[testnet]` as might be expected.

When network-specific options such as -addnode, -connect, etc are
specified in the default section of the config file, but that setting is
ignored due to testnet or regtest being in use, and it is not overridden
by either a command line option or a setting in the [regtest] or [test]
section of the config file, a warning is added to the log, eg:
Warning: Config setting for -connect only applied on regtest network when in [regtest] section.

d54874d Set SCHED_BATCH priority on the loadblk thread. (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Today I came across #10271, and while reading the discussion #6358 was linked to. Linux systems have a `SCHED_BATCH` scheduler priority that is useful for threads like loadblk. You can find the full details at [sched(7)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/sched.7.html), but I'll quote the relevant part of the man page below:
> ...this policy will cause the scheduler to always assume that the thread is
CPU-intensive. Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling penalty
with respect to wakeup behavior, so that this thread is mildly disfavored in
scheduling decisions.
>
> This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do not want to
lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling
policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between the workload's
tasks).
I think this change is useful independently of #10271 and irrespective of whether that change is merged. Under normal operation the loadblk thread will just import `mempool.dat`. However, if Bitcoin is started with `-reindex` or `-reindex-chainstate` this thread will use a great deal of CPU while it rebuilds the chainstate database (and the block database in the case of `-reindex`). By setting `SCHED_BATCH` this thread is less likely to interfere with interactive tasks (e.g. the user's web browser, text editor, etc.).
I'm leaving the nice value unchanged (which also affects scheduling decisions) because I think that's better set by the user. Likewise I'm not using [ioprio_set(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioprio_set.2.html) because it can cause the thread to become completely I/O starved (and knowledgeable users can use `ionice(1)` anyway).

Most logs should terminated with a '\n'. Some logs
are built up over multiple calls to logPrintf(), so
do not need a newline terminater. Comment all of
these 'continued' logs as a linter hing.
Log messages should terminate with a '\n', or the following log will be
written to the same line without a timestamp. Fix a couple of cases

Pull request description:
Since the actual block files taking up more and more space, it may be desirable to have them stored in a different location then the data directory (use case: SSD for chainstate, etc., HD for blocks).
This PR adds a `-blocksdir` option that allows one to keep the blockfiles and the blockindex external from the data directory (instead of creating symlinks).
I fist had an option to keep the blockindex within the datadir, but seems to make no sense since accessing the index will (always) lead to access (r/w) the block files.

Pull request description:
Rationale (from Bjarne Stroustrup's ["C++11 FAQ"](http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html#enum)):
>
> The enum classes ("new enums", "strong enums") address three problems with traditional C++ enumerations:
>
> * conventional enums implicitly convert to int, causing errors when someone does not want an enumeration to act as an integer.
> * conventional enums export their enumerators to the surrounding scope, causing name clashes.
> * the underlying type of an enum cannot be specified, causing confusion, compatibility problems, and makes forward declaration impossible.
>
> The new enums are "enum class" because they combine aspects of traditional enumerations (names values) with aspects of classes (scoped members and absence of conversions).

While reading another PR I saw a mention of #6358. The use case for
SCHED_BATCH is to hint to the kernel that the thread is running a
non-interactive workload that consumes a lot of CPU time. This is
helpful on desktop machines where the loadblk thread can interfere with
interactive applications. More details can be found in the sched(7) man
page.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.

c60c49b Improve help text and behavior of RPC-logging (Akio Nakamura)
Pull request description:
1. It is allowed `libevent` logging to be updated during runtime,
but still described that restriction in the help text.
So we delete these text.
2. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of `<include>` and
`<exclude>` to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
3. Add a description about the available logging category `"all"`
which is not explained.
4. Add `"optional"` to the help text of `<include>` and `<exclude>`.
5. Add missing new lines before `"Argument:"`.
6. `"0"`,`"1"` are allowed in both array of `<include>` and `<exclude>`.
`"0"` is **ignored** and `"1"` is treated **same as** `"all"`.
It is confusing, so forbid them.
7. It always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.

PR #10286 introduced a few steps which are not robust to early shutdown
in initialization.
Stumbled upon this with #11781, not sure if there are other scenarios
that can trigger it, but it's harden against this in any case.
abbd230 Move RPC registration out of AppInitParameterInteraction (Russell Yanofsky)

Move to AppInitServers. This doesn't have any effects on bitcoin behavior. It was just strange to have this unrelated code in the middle of parameter interaction.

A) The changes in behavior are as follows:
1. Introduce logging category "none" as alias of "0" for
both RPC-logging and bitcoind "-debug" parameter.
2. Same as "0" is given to argument of "-debug",
if "none" or "0" is given to <include>, all other given logging
categories are ignored. The same is true for <exclude>.
(Before this PR, "0" was accepted but just be ignored itself.)
B) The changes in the help text are as follows:
1. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of <include> and
<exclude> to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
2. Delete text that describe restriction about libevent because
it's already allowed libevent logging to be updated during runtime.
3. Add a description for category "all", "1", "none" and "0".
4. Add "optional" to the help text of <include> and <exclude>.
5. Add missing new lines before "Argument:".
6. This RPC always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.

If our tip hasn't updated in a while, that may be because our peers are
not relaying blocks to us that we would consider valid. Allow connection
to an additional outbound peer in that circumstance.
Also, periodically check to see if we are exceeding our target number of
outbound peers, and disconnect the one which has least recently
announced a new block to us (choosing the newest such peer in the case
of tie).

Pull request description:
This was mostly written as a way to clean things up so that the NETWORK_LIMITED PR (#10387) can be simplified a ton, but its also a nice standalone cleanup that will also require a bit of review because it tweaks a lot of stuff across net. The new functions are fine in protocol.h right now since they're straight-forward, but after NETWORK_LIMITED will really want to move elsewhere after @theuni moves the nServices-based selection to addrman from connman.
Adds HasAllRelevantServices and GetRelevantServices, which check
for NETWORK|WITNESS.
This changes the following:
* Removes nRelevantServices from CConnman, disconnecting it a bit
more from protocol-level logic.
* Replaces our sometimes-connect-to-!WITNESS-nodes logic with
simply always requiring WITNESS|NETWORK for outbound non-feeler
connections (feelers still only require NETWORK).
* This has the added benefit of removing nServicesExpected from
CNode - instead letting net_processing's VERSION message
handling simply check HasAllRelevantServices.
* This implies we believe WITNESS nodes to continue to be a
significant majority of nodes on the network, but also because
we cannot sync properly from !WITNESS nodes, it is strange to
continue using our valuable outbound slots on them.
* In order to prevent this change from preventing connection to
-connect= nodes which have !WITNESS, -connect nodes are now
given the "addnode" flag. This also allows outbound connections
to !NODE_NETWORK nodes for -connect nodes (which was already true
of addnodes).
* Has the (somewhat unintended) consequence of changing one of the
eviction metrics from the same
sometimes-connect-to-!WITNESS-nodes metric to requiring
HasRelevantServices.
This should make NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED much simpler to implement.

d4cdbd6fb [rpc] Deprecate estimatefee RPC (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Deprecates estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.
This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<methodname>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in version
(x+1).
This gives users fair warning that an RPC is to be removed, and time to change client software if necessary. Deprecation warnings in RPC return values or release notes are easily ignored.
This is a more generic version of the approach I tried to use in #10841, which too late to make it into v0.15.

All wallet component initialization/destruction functions are now in their own `wallet/init.cpp` translation unit and are no longer static functions on the CWallet class. The bitcoin_server also no longer has any knowledge that there are multiple wallets in vpwallet.
There should be no changes in behavior from this PR.

Rationale:
- this init function can now open multiple wallets (hence
Wallet->Wallets)
- This is named as the antonym to CloseWallets(), which carries out the
opposite action.

This adds a hidden command line option for setting `nMinimumChainWork`, which allows us to test this parameter in our functional tests, as well as allowing for niche use cases like syncing nodes that are otherwise disconnected from the network.
See also #10345, which proposes a new use of `nMinimumChainWork`.

This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in
individual calls with okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables,
which is not a concern for the RPC server.

Pull request description:
This just moves some static wallet fee and init functions out of `wallet/wallet.cpp` and into new `wallet/fees.cpp` and `wallet/init.cpp` source files. There is one commit updating declarations and callers, followed by two MOVEONLY commits actually moving the function bodies.
This change is desirable because wallet.h/cpp are monolithic and hard to navigate, so pulling things out and grouping together pieces of related functionality should improve the organization.
Another motivation is the wallet process separation work in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10973, where (at least initially) parameter parsing and fee estimation are still done in the main process rather than the wallet process, and having functions that run in different processes scrambled up throughout wallet.cpp is unnecessarily confusing.

4aa2508 Bugfix: Use testnet RequireStandard for -acceptnonstdtxn default (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
Fixes a bug introduced in #8855
`-acceptnonstdtxn` is a valid option only for testnet/regtest (in Core), and the help message reflects that. Currently, however, it is buggy in two ways:
1. It uses mainnet to get the default value, which doesn't make sense since the option is never available for mainnet, and the only time the option is available, is when the default is the opposite.
2. It uses the value of "require standard" directly as the default for "accept non-standard transactions", but these concepts are opposites: a negation must be performed to transform one to the other.
Note the combination of these bugs results in the correct boolean output, but the logic to get there is completely wrong.

90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

This fixes a few cases where we should be treating a restart-after-
coinsviewdb-reset identically to a just-reset-coinsviewdb.
Thanks to @morcos for identifying the bug.
This more clearly uses fReindex vs fReset to make sure we're not
clearing our coinsdb needlessly when restarting after a reindex.
It also makes it so that restarting after shutting down mid-reindex
isn't treates specially at all during txdb loading code, as it
shouldn't be.

eda888e Fix some LoadChainTip-related init-order bugs. (Matt Corallo)
Pull request description:
This does a number of things to clean up chainstate init order,
fixing some issues as it goes:
* Order chainstate init more logically - first all of the
blocktree-related loading, then coinsdb, then
pcoinsTip/chainActive. Only create objects as needed.
* More clearly document exactly what is and isn't called in
-reindex and -reindex-chainstate both with comments noting
calls as no-ops and by adding if guards.
* Move the writing of fTxIndex to LoadBlockIndex - this fixes a
bug introduced in d6af06d68a where
InitBlockIndex was writing to fTxIndex which had not yet been
checked (because LoadChainTip hadn't yet initialized the
chainActive, which would otherwise have resulted in
InitBlockIndex being a NOP), allowing you to modify -txindex
without reindex, potentially corrupting your chainstate!
* Rename InitBlockIndex to LoadGenesisBlock, which is now a more
natural name for it. Also check mapBlockIndex instead of
chainActive, fixing a bug where we'd write the genesis block out
on every start.
* Move LoadGenesisBlock further down in init. This is a more logical
location for it, as it is after all of the blockindex-related
loading and checking, but before any of the UTXO-related loading
and checking.
* Give LoadChainTip a return value - allowing it to indicate that
the UTXO DB ran ahead of the block DB. This just provides a nicer
error message instead of the previous mysterious
assert(!setBlockIndexCandidates.empty()) error.
* Calls ActivateBestChain in case we just loaded the genesis
block in LoadChainTip, avoiding relying on the ActivateBestChain
in ThreadImport before continuing init process.
* Move all of the VerifyDB()-related stuff into a -reindex +
-reindex-chainstate if guard. It couldn't do anything useful
as chainActive.Tip() would be null at this point anyway.

RewindBlockIndex works over both chainActive - disconnecting blocks
from the tip that need witness verification - and mapBlockIndex -
requiring redownload of blocks missing witness data.
It should never have been the case that the second half is skipped
if we're about to run -reindex-chainstate.
This gives LoadChainTip a return value - allowing it to indicate that
the UTXO DB ran ahead of the block DB. This just provides a nicer
error message instead of the previous mysterious
assert(!setBlockIndexCandidates.empty()) error.
This also calls ActivateBestChain in case we just loaded the genesis
block in LoadChainTip, avoiding relying on the ActivateBestChain
in ThreadImport before continuing init process.

Pull request description:
This adds an SSE4 assembly version of the SHA256 transform by Intel, and uses it at run time if SSE4 instructions are available, and use a fallback C++ implementation otherwise. Nearly every x86_64 CPU supports SSE4. The feature is only enabled when compiled with `--enable-experimental-asm`.
In order to avoid build dependencies and other complications, the original Intel YASM code was translated to GCC extended asm syntax.
This gives around a 50% speedup on the SHA256 benchmark for me.
It is based on an earlier patch by @laanwj, though only includes a single assembly version (for now), and removes the YASM dependency.

f4d00e6 Add a discard_rate (Alex Morcos)
b138585 Remove factor of 3 from definition of dust. (Alex Morcos)
Pull request description:
The definition of dust is redefined to remove the factor of 3.
Dust is redefined to be the value of an output such that it would
cost that value in fees to (create and) spend the output at the dust
relay rate. The previous definition was that it would cost 1/3 of the
value. The default dust relay rate is correspondingly increased to
3000 sat/kB so the actual default dust output value of 546 satoshis
for a non-segwit output remains unchanged. This commit is a refactor
only unless a dustrelayfee is passed on the commandline in which case
that number now needs to be increased by a factor of 3 to get the same
behavior. -dustrelayfee is a hidden command line option.
Note: It's not exactly a refactor due to edge case changes in rounding
as evidenced by the required change to the unit test.
A discard_rate is added which defaults to 10,000 sat/kB
Any change output which would be dust at the discard_rate you are
willing to discard completely and add to fee (as well as continuing to
pay the fee that would have been needed for creating the change)
This would be a nice addition for 0.15 and I think will remain useful for 0.16 with the new coin selection algorithms in discussion, but its not crucial.
It does add translation strings, but we could (should?) avoid that by hiding the option

Alternative to #10818, alternative solution to #10815.
After this change: All the AppInit steps before and inclusive
AppInitLockDataDirectory must not have Shutdown() called in case of
failure. Only when AppInitMain fails, Shutdown should be called.
Changes the GUI and bitcoind code to consistently do this.

Note that the CScheduler thread cant be running at this point,
it has already been stopped with the rest of the init threadgroup.
Thus, just calling any remaining loose callbacks during Shutdown()
is sane.
