But `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` doesn't include the clang thread safety annotations unless you also use clang's C library, which means you can't indicate when variables should be guarded by `std::mutex` mutexes. This adds an annotated version of `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` to threadsafety.h to fix that, and modifies places where `std::mutex` is used to take advantage of the annotations. It's based on top of #16112, and turns the thread safety comments included there into annotations. It also changes the RAII classes in wallet/wallet.h and rpc/blockchain.cpp to just use the atomic<bool> flag for synchronisation rather than having a mutex that doesn't actually guard anything as well. ACKs for top commit: MarcoFalke: ACK5478d6c099🗾 hebasto: re-ACK5478d6c099, only renamed s/`MutexGuard`/`LockGuard`/, and dropped the commit "test/util_threadnames_tests: add thread safety annotations" since the [previous](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16127#pullrequestreview-414184113) review. ryanofsky: Code review ACK5478d6c099. Thanks for taking suggestions! Only changes since last review are dropping thread rename test commit d53072ec730d8eec5a5b72f7e65a54b141e62b19 and renaming mutex guard to lock guard Tree-SHA512: 7b00d31f6f2b5a222ec69431eb810a74abf0542db3a65d1bbad54e354c40df2857ec89c00b4a5e466c81ba223267ca95f3f98d5fbc1a1d052a2c3a7d2209790a
Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
