This adds a `-daemonwait` flag that does the same as `-daemon` except
it, from a user perspective, backgrounds the process only after
initialization is complete.
This can be useful when the process launching bitcoind wants to
guarantee that either the RPC server is running, or that initialization
failed, before continuing. The exit code indicates the initialization
result.
This replaces the use of the libc function `daemon()` by a custom
implementation which is inspired by the glibc implementation, but also
creates a pipe from the child to the parent process for communication.
An additional advantage of having our own `daemon()` implementation is
that no MACOS-specific pragmas are needed anymore to silence a
deprecation warning.
Add AppInitInterfaces function so wallet chain and chain client interfaces are
created earlier during initialization. This is needed in the next commit to
allow the gui splash screen to be able to register for wallet events through a
dedicated WalletClient interface instead managing wallets indirectly through
the Node interface. This only works if the wallet client interface is created
before the splash screen needs to use it.
This commit does not change behavior. All it does is pass new function
parameters.
It is easiest to review this change with:
git log -p -n1 -U0 --word-diff-regex=.
Most includers just wanted to react to pending shutdown.
This isolates access to `fRequestShutdown` and limits access to the shutdown
api functions, including the new `AbortShutdown` for setting it to `false`.
Note I originally called `AbortShutdown` `CancelShutdown` but that name was
already taken by winuser.h

This change also triggered a build error in bench. Fixing it required moving LIBBITCOIN_SERVER after LIBBITCOIN_WALLET in bench_bench_bitcoin_LDADD To make
server definitions in src/net.cpp available to wallet methods in
src/wallet/wallet.cpp. Specifically, solving:
libbitcoin_wallet.a(libbitcoin_wallet_a-wallet.o): In function `CWalletTx::RelayWalletTransaction(CConnman*)':
wallet.cpp:(.text+0x3f0e): undefined reference to `CConnman::NodeFullyConnected(CNode const*)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

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.

This commit creates a global g_wallet_init_interface, which is created
in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt. g_wallet_init_interface is used to init
and destroy the wallet.
This removes the dependency from init.cpp on the wallet library.
This resolves#12229 which pointed out a shutdown deadlock due to
scheduler/checkqueue having been shut down while network message
processing is still running.
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.
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*.
boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no
forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert
json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with
regard to compile-time slowness.
- *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling
is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism)
is used to handle application requests.
- *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly
HTTP-server-neutral
- *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*.
Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC
backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC
mechanisms people may want to use.
- *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL
paths they want to handle.
By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used
by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided.
What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests
pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support.
Configuration options:
- `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still
defaults to 4.
- `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new
requests will return a 500 Internal Error.
- `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a
client.
- `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Adds a copyright and attribution message to the `-version` output
(the same as shown in the About dialog in the GUI).
Move the message to a function LicenseInfo in init.cpp.
Allow running bitcoind without server.
- Default to -server mode (of course) for bitcoind with SoftSetBoolArg
- Remove fForceServer argument from AppInit2
- Move fDaemon to a static variable in bitcoind
Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cli
(leveldb, berkelydb, wallet, RPC server)
Build system changes:
- split libbitcoin.a into libbitcoin_common.a, libbitcoin_server.a and
libbitcoin_cli.a
Code changes (movement only):
- split up HelpMessage into HelpMessage in init.cpp and HelpMessageCli
in rpcclient.cpp
- move uiInterface from init.cpp to util.cpp
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
This required some code movement (what was CWalletTx::AcceptToMemoryPool
doing in main?), and adding a few explicit includes that used to be
implicit through init.h.
This adds an executable `bitcoin-rpc` that only serves as a Bitcoin RPC
client.
The commit does not remove RPC functionality from the `bitcoind` yet,
this functionality should be deprecated but is left for a later version
to give users some time to switch.
