The main thread spends time waiting for the DetectShutdownThread.
So why not just run this waiting loop function in the main thread?
One thread-stack less saves 4MB of virtual memory on 32-bit, and 8MB on
64-bit.
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
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.
As it says on the tin. It was deprecated in version 0.9, and
at some point it should be removed.
Removes the dependency of bitcoind on libbitcoin-cli.a. Move
some functions that used to be shared but are now only used in
bitcoin-cli.cpp to that file.
After this change, an error is printed (and exit code 1 is returned)
when the user tries to send RPC commands using bitcoind.
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.
