Previously the RPC interface allowed z_exportwallet, backupwallet and
dumpwallet to write data to an arbitrary filename. ZCA-009 demonstrates
how this is vulnerable. The resolution is to only allow data to
written when the -exportdir has been configured. Also filenames are
restricted to alphanumeric characters.
Most people expect a value of 1 to enable all for command line arguments.
However to do this for the -debug option you must type "-debug=".
This has been changed to allow "-debug=1" as well as "-debug=" to
enable all debug logging
- rpcwallet: No need to lock twice here
- openssl: Clang doesn't understand selective lock/unlock here. Ignore it.
- CNode: Fix a legitimate (though very unlikely) locking bug.
The scope of `std::locale::global` appears to be smaller than `setenv("LC_ALL", ...)` and insufficient to fix messed up locale settings for the whole application.
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format works even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.

Help messages correctly formatted for SVGA text mode (132 chars)
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format should work even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.
Fix - syntax error
Correct formatting for 79 chars
Correctly based on C++ functions
Removed spare spaces from option strings
Fix - syntax error
Always make a pid file, not only when `-daemon` specified.
This is useful for troubleshooting, for attaching debuggers and loggers
and such.
- Write the pid file only after the datadir lock was acquired
- Don't create or remove a pid file on WIN32, and also don't show the option
Flushing after every line when printing to console is desirable when
running with systemd but setvbuf() has slightly different semantics
on Windows that causes warnings. Just do an explicit fflush() after
each line print to console instead.
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.
Add a function `AreBaseParamsConfigured` and use this to check
before writing to the debug log. This avoids assertions when the
application happens to log too early, which happens in the GUI.
Messages logged before the base parameters are configured can be
shown using `-printtoconsole`.
- add a small wrapper in util around RAND_bytes() and replace with
GetRandBytes() in the code to log errors from calling RAND_bytes()
- remove OpenSSL header rand.h where no longer needed
Currently we use a fixed buffer of 250000 bytes to request
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. In many cases this is not enough, causing the
entropy collection to be skipped.
Use a loop that grows the buffer as specified in the RegQueryValueEx
documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724911%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
(as the size of the performance data can differ for every call, the
normal solution of requesting the size then allocating that can't work)
This commit removes all the unnecessary dependencies (key, core,
netbase, sync, ...) from bitcoin-cli.
To do this it shards the chain parameters into BaseParams, which
contains just the RPC port and data directory (as used by utils and
bitcoin-cli) and Params, with the rest.
