5c643241e [utils] allow square brackets for ipv6 addresses in bitcoin-cli (John Newbery)
fe4fabaf1 [refactor] move SplitHostPort() into utilstrencodings (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
bitcoin-cli's `-rpcconnect` can accept ipv6 addresses (as long as the libevent version is new enough), but fails to parse ipv6 with square brackets. This PR makes `bitcoin-cli` parse ipv6 in square brackets correctly.
`bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=[::1] <command>`
should now be equivalent to
`bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=::1 <command>`
This is useful so the `bitcoin-cli` option can now be in the same format as the `bitcoind` option.
Doesn't include tests. I have a branch that fully tests `bitcoin-cli`, but that's queued behind several intermediate PRs.
- first commit moves `SplitHostPort()` from libbitcoin_common into libbitcoin_util
- second commit adds proper ipv6 parsing to bitcoin-cli

A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
Add error and range-checking parsers for unsigned 32 and 64 bit numbers.
The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the
command line in `bitcoin-tx` (see #8164 for discussion). I've thrown in
the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.
Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.
Add a function `ParseFixedPoint` that parses numbers according
to the JSON number specification and returns a 64-bit integer.
Then this in `AmountFromValue`, rather than `ParseMoney`.
Also add lots of tests (thanks to @jonasschnelli for some of them).
Fixes issue #6297.
Strict parsing functions for other numeric types.
- ParseInt64 analogous to ParseInt32, but for 64-bit values.
- ParseDouble for doubles.
- Make all three Parse* functions more strict (e.g. reject whitespace on
the inside)
Also add tests.
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.
