3ccfa34b32 convert C-style (void) parameter lists to C++ style () (Arvid Norberg)
Pull request description:
In C, an empty parameter list, `()`, means the function takes any arguments, and `(void)` means the function does not take any parameters.
In C++, an empty parameter list means the function does not take any parameters.
So, C++ still supports `(void)` parameter lists with the same semantics, why change to `()`?
1. removing the redundant `void` improves signal-to-noise ratio of the code
2. using `(void)` exposes a rare inconsistency in that a template taking a template `(T)` parameter list, cannot be instantiated with `T=void`

I don't understand why `-help-debug` would be useful without requesting
the help, and I've made this particular mistake one time too many.
(ok, so apparently the original reason that -help-debug is an option is
to show debug options in the GUI option overview? that seems very
unlikely to ever be used, if someone wants to add a way to show debug
options in the GUI it'd be better to have a check box)

946107a68f Only log "Using PATH_TO_bitcoin.conf" message on startup if conf file exists. (Alexander Leishman)
Pull request description:
Currently we log a message indicating that a bitcoin.conf file is being used even if one does not exist. This PR changes the logic to:
**If config file does not exist and no -conf flag passed, log:**
`Config file: FILE_PATH (not found, skipping)`. Where `FILE_PATH` is the default or the path passed in with the `-conf` flag.
**If config file does not exist and -conf flag passed with incorrect path, log warning:**
`Warning: The specified config file FILE_PATH does not exist`
**If config file exists, log**:
`Config file: FILE_PATH`
Note: This is a (modified) subset of changes introduced in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13761 which creates a default example config file. I think it makes sense to extract this small bit out into a separate PR.

PR #12713 changed the interpretation for negation of non-boolean options
(e.g. -noconnect) to no longer set the option to 0, but to remove it
from the options.
I think this is better because it gets rid of the special meaning of
'0'.
However it needs to be documented. I attempt to do so in this PR.

e8c4a1e369 Add new regtest ports in doc following #10825 ports reattributions (Antoine Riard)

Call sync.h primitives "locks" and "mutexes" instead of "blocks" and "waitable
critical sections" to match current coding conventions and c++11 standard
names.
This PR does not rename the "CCriticalSection" class (though this could be done
as a followup) because it is used everywhere and would swamp the other changes
in this PR. Plain mutexes should mostly be preferred instead of recursive
mutexes in new code anyway.

fa5ce27385 ui: Compile boost:signals2 only once (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
ui is one of the modules that poison other modules with `boost/signals2` headers. This moves the include to the cpp file and uses a forward declaration in the header.
Locally this speeds up the incremental build (building everything that uses the ui module) with gcc by ~5% for me. Gcc uses ~5% less memory.
Would be nice if someone could verify the numbers roughly.
I presume the improvements will be more pronounced if the other models would stop exposing the boost header as well.

Pull request description:
As part of a larger effort to decouple net_processing and validation a bit, these are a bunch of simple scope cleanups. I've moved things out of the header file that are only referenced in net_processing and added static (or anonymous namespace) modifiers to everything possible in net_processing.
There are a handful of functions which could be static except that they are exposed for the sake of unit testing - these are explicitly commented. There has been some discussion of a compile time annotation, but no conclusion has been reached on that yet.
This is somewhat related to other prs #12934#13413#13407 and will be followed by prs that reduce reliance on cs_main to synchronize data structures which are translation unit local to net_processing

#13004 changed the default behavior for printtoconsole but this has not been reflected in the command line help.
This fixes the description of -printtoconsole to reflect this change, and also provides the user with missing information on how to explicitly disable logging to debug.log.
At present I have made the latter update to two separate places (-printtoconsole and -debuglogfile) because a user looking for information on how to disable logging is probably going to look in the "Debugging/Testing Options" section. Moving -debuglogfile from the "General" options category to the "Debugging/Testing" section could potentially remove the need for this redundancy but may be out of the scope of this PR.
2dcd7b4ec logging: avoid nStart may be used uninitialized in AppInitMain warning (mruddy)
Pull request description:
Was getting the following compiler warning:
```
init.cpp: In function ‘bool AppInitMain()’:
init.cpp:1616:60: warning: ‘nStart’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
LogPrintf(" block index %15dms\n", GetTimeMillis() - nStart);
```
It's ok without this PR, but this PR renames `nStart` to `load_block_index_start_time`, makes it `const`, and also reduces the scope of the variable.
The logging line is moved such that the the time spent will be logged even if a shutdown is requested while the index is being loaded.
Having the log message output even when a shutdown is requested may be how this was intended to work before anyways. That could explain the leading space, as such a log message now looks like:
```
2018-06-30T11:34:05Z [0%]...[16%]...[33%]...[50%]... block index 25750ms
2018-06-30T11:34:17Z Shutdown requested. Exiting.

Ignore unknown options in the config file for bitcoin-cli
Fix tests and bitcoin-cli to match actual options used
Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it
difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g.
#10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are
typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it
literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the
added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it.
Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with
the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was
injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx.
For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should
not affect the output **in any way** except for bitcoin-qt when a
non-English language is configured in the locale.
This implements #10962.
This commit adds a boolean option `-enablebip61`, defaulting to `1`, that
can be used to disable the sending of BIP61 `reject` messages. This
functionality has been requested for various reasons:
- security (DoS): reject messages can reveal internal state that can be
used to target certain resources such as the mempool more easily.
- bandwidth: a typical node sends lots of reject messages; this counts
against upstream bandwidth. Also the reject messages tend to be larger
than the message that was rejected.
On the other hand, reject messages can be useful while developing client
software (I found them indispensable while creating bitcoin-submittx),
as well as for our own test cases, so whatever the default becomes on the
long run, IMO the functionality should be retained as option. But that's
a discussion for later.

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.

4a6c0e3dcf Modernize best block mutex/cv/hash variable naming (Pieter Wuille)
45dd135039 Fix csBestBlock/cvBlockChange waiting in rpc/mining (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This is an alternative to #11694.
It reintroduces a uint256 variable with the best block hash, protected by csBestBlock, and only updated while holding it.
Also rename the involved variable to modern guidelines, as there are very few uses.

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
where the message is not terminated with a \n.

cb1e319 Bugfix: RPC: savemempool: Don't save until LoadMempool() is finished (Jorge Timón)
Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/12142
The tests are a little bit slow, mempool_persist.py goes from about 20 s to about 120 s in my hardware.
Perhaps there's a better way to test this.

Pull request description:
This continues the work of #7965. This PR, along with several others, would remove the remaining dependencies from libbitcoin_server.a on libbitcoin_wallet.a.
To create the interface, I've just translated all the old init.cpp wallet function calls into an interface class. I've not done any thinking about whether it makes sense to change that interface by combining/splitting those calls. This is a purely internal interface, so there's no problem in changing it later.
