bdb 6.X was released under the AGPL, which is incompatible with MIT-licensed
software (the result must be licensed under AGPL). bdb 5.X uses the same license
as bdb 4.8, and thus retains the same compatibility as in upstream Bitcoin.
Thanks to Luke-Jr for raising this issue.
Now that BIP66 passed, OpenSSL is no longer directly part of the
consensus. What matters is that DER signatures are correctly parsed, and
secp256k1 crypto is implemented correctly (as well as the other
functions we use from OpenSSL, such as random number generation)
This means that effectively, using LibreSSL is not a larger risk than
using another version of OpenSSL.
Remove the specific check for LibreSSL.
Includes the still-relevant part of #6729: make sure CHECK_HEADER is
called using the right CXXFLAGS, not CFLAGS (as AC_LANG is c++).
Zcash Note:
This includes a code removal from d9add719519e2019b1f353d8d6832dcfc88ee850
that was omitted from 5a3913361d during
backporting of bitcoin/bitcoin#6501 to 0.11.* in bitcoin/bitcoin#6703
Prevent these warnings in clang 3.6:
./serialize.h:96:9: warning: explicitly assigning value of variable of type 'uint64_t' (aka 'unsigned long') to itself [-Wself-assign]
obj = (obj);
~~~ ^ ~~~
Checking libcrypto for a function after we've already found a (possibly
different) libcrypto is not what we want to do here.
pkg-config might've found a cross lib while AC_CHECK_LIB may find a different
or native one.
Run a link-test against the lib that's already been found instead.
Until secp256k1 is used for verification there is no reason for Bitcoin
Core's secp256k1 to link against gmp, even if available. Pass a flag to
configure to override the bignum implementation.
This fixes a crash at runtime on ppc64 reported by @gmaxwell.

- Detect endian instead of stopping configure on big-endian
- Add `byteswap.h` and `endian.h` header for compatibility with
Windows and other operating systems that don't come with them
- Update `crypto/common.h` functions to use compat
endian header
This was added a while ago for testing purposes, but was never intended to be
used. Remove it until upstream libsecp256k1 decides that verification is
stable/ready.
Backwards-compatibility for libstdc++ is not limited to straightforward abi
changes. Symbol visibility also needs to be taken into consideration, and
that really can't be addressed simply.
Instead, just static-link libstdc++ for backwards-compat.
This is really a packager's option. While it's helpful to encourage devs to
test this option for daily builds, it's not reliable in several real-world
use-cases. Some older libstdc++ runtimes (freebsd 9, debian wheezy, for
example) fail to properly catch exceptions due to mismatched type_info.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19664 for more info.
