aca0e5dcdb174ef7e88b76910d6fffd633688235 Remove `GetDataDir(bool fNetSpecific = true)` function (Kiminuo) b3e67f20a02bcf43f20873029ce30617c95eb9da scripted-diff: Replace `GetDataDir(true)` calls with `gArgs.GetDataDirNet()` calls (Kiminuo) 4c3a5dcbfc3010965332ad568c3a70618c930ef3 scripted-diff: Replace `GetDataDir()` calls with `gArgs.GetDataDirNet()` calls (Kiminuo) 13bd8bb0536f008118b1de921654925ed9ce1da7 Make `ArgsManager.GetDataDirPath` private and drop needless suffix (Kiminuo) 4d8189f62076d47be182e709857774bc3921b334 scripted-diff: Change `ArgsManager.GetDataDirPath()` to `ArgsManager.GetDataDirBase()` in tests (Kiminuo) 0f53df47d5b8319fc71f3b87c15a115ff797fb50 Add `ArgsManager.GetDataDirBase()` and `ArgsManager.GetDataDirNet()` as an intended replacement for `ArgsManager.GetDataDirPath(net_identifier)` (Kiminuo) 716de29dd8672d28bfe0a08424e9958fe61054d2 Make `m_cached_blocks_path` mutable. Make `ArgsManager::GetBlocksDirPath()` const. (Kiminuo) Pull request description: This PR is a follow up PR to #21244. The PR attempts to move us an inch towards the [goal](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21244#discussion_r615307465) by removing `GetDataDir(net_specific)` and replacing it by `gArgs.GetDataDir(net_specific)` calls. The approach of this PR attempts to be similar to the one chosen in "De-globalize ChainstateManager" (#20158). The goal is to pass `ArgsManager` to functions (or ideally to have `ArgsManager` as a member of a class where needed; inspiration from here: #21789) instead of having it as a global variable (i.e. `gArgs`). **Notes:** * First commit makes `m_cached_blocks_path` `mutable` as was suggested [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21244#discussion_r615274095) but not fully applied in #21244. (`m_cached_datadir_path` and `m_cached_network_datadir_path` were marked as `mutable` in #21244) This commit can be in a separate PR too. * Other commits deal with removing of `GetDataDir(net_specific)` function. * This was originally part of #21244 but it was [left]((https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21244#pullrequestreview-633779754)) for a follow up PR. * I think that the proposed changes show nicely where there is reliance on `gArgs` which is IMO a good thing. If you know about a better approach how to do this, please share it here.

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 read the original Bitcoin 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 it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
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.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make 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.
