Name has been confusing since it was introduced, and it was pointed in recent review club as https://bitcoincore.reviews/10102 that it was particularly unclear how interfaces::WalletClient was different from interfaces::Wallet. -BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT- ren() { git grep -l "$1" src | xargs sed -i "s/$1/$2/g"; } ren WalletClient WalletLoader ren walletClient walletLoader ren wallet_client wallet_loader ren "wallet clients release the wallet" "wallet pointer owners release the wallet" ren "wallet client" "wallet loader" ren "Wallet client" "Wallet loader" -END VERIFY SCRIPT-
src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
