1111475b41698260cda0f25a96c051fd18d66129 bugfix: Mark CNoDestination and PubKeyDestination constructor explicit (MarcoFalke)
fa5ccc4137fdd14a75a6fc860b8ff6fc455cb55d iwyu: Export prevector.h from script.h (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It seems confusing to allow any script, even one with a corresponding address, to silently convert to `CNoDestination`.
Make the converstion `explicit` in the code, and fix any bugs that were previously introduced.
In a follow-up, the class can be renamed, or the documentation can be updated to better reflect what the code does.

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt
dependencies.
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoingui
and several models likepeertablemodel
.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cpp
generally includes:NAMEmodel.h
andforms/:NAME.page.ui
with a similar:NAME
.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator
.
