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 a -nofoo option is seen, instead of adding it to a separate
set of negated args, set the arg as being an empty vector of strings.
This changes the behaviour in some ways:
- -nofoo=0 still sets foo=1 but no longer treats it as a negated arg
- -nofoo=1 -foo=2 has GetArgs() return [2] rather than [2,0]
- "foo=2 \n -nofoo=1" in a config file no longer returns [2,0], just [0]
- GetArgs returns an empty vector for negated args

4f872b2450 Add additional tests for GetBoolArg() (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
This change explicitly enable tracking negated options in the option parser. A negated option is one passed with a `-no` prefix. For example, `-nofoo` is the negated form of `-foo`. Negated options were originally added in the 0.6 release.
The change here allows code to explicitly distinguish between cases like `-nofoo` and `-foo=0`, which was not possible previously. The option parser does not have any changed semantics as a result of this change, and existing code will parse options just as it did before.
The motivation for this change is to provide a way to disable options that are otherwise not boolean options. For example, the `-debuglogfile` option is normally interpreted as a string, where the value is the log file name. With this change a user can pass in `-nodebuglogfile` and the code can see that it was explicitly negated, and use that to disable the log file.
This change originally split out from #12689.

This commit adds tracking for negated arguments. This change will be used in a
future commit that allows disabling the debug.log file using -nodebuglogfile.

Pull request description:
If the --datadir exists, but is not writable, the current error message on startup is 'Cannot obtain a lock on data directory foo. Bitcoin Core is probably already running.' This is misleading.
I believe this PR addresses #11668, although the issue is not Windows-specific.

* Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset.
* T is the delimiter used to separate date and time.
This makes it clear for the end-user that the date/time logged is
specified in UTC and not in the local time zone.
c99a3c32c8 [tests] util_tests.cpp: actually check ignored args (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
An array with 7 elements was setup for checking argument parsing, but
was passed to ParseParamaeters with argc=5, meaning the interpretation
of the last two arguments was never actually checked.

An array with 7 elements was setup for checking argument parsing, but
was passed to ParseParamaeters with argc=5, meaning the interpretation
of the last two arguments was never actually checked.
On msvc14, int literal '-2147483648' is invalid, because '2147483648' is unsigned type and cant't apply minus operator to unsigned type.
To define the int literal correctly, use '-2147483647 - 1' formula that is also used to define INT_MIN in limits.h.
There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.
