This avoids a bogus circular dependency error in the next commit: interfaces/chain -> interfaces/wallet -> wallet/wallet -> interfaces/chain Which is incorrect, because interfaces/chain.cpp depends only on the interfaces/wallet.h file, not the interfaces/wallet.cpp file, and it is wrong to treat these as a unit. Inside the interfaces directory, .h files contain abstract class definitions and .cpp files contain implementations of those classes, so you don't need to link against .cpp files if you're only using the abstract class definition in the .h file. An alternative fix might be to rename all the cpp files in the interfaces directory like: chain.cpp->chain_impl.cpp, node.cpp->node_impl.cpp. But just getting the linter to treat these files as independent dependencies seemed like it would allow keeping code organization straightforward and avoiding the need to rename things.
Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Contains the script github-merge.py for merging GitHub pull requests securely and signing them using GPG.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the above github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
