6eb33bd0c2kernel: Add fatalError method to notifications (TheCharlatan)7320db96f8kernel: Add flushError method to notifications (TheCharlatan)3fa9094b92scripted-diff: Rename FatalError to FatalErrorf (TheCharlatan)edb55e2777kernel: Pass interrupt reference to chainman (TheCharlatan)e2d680a32dutil: Add SignalInterrupt class and use in shutdown.cpp (TheCharlatan) Pull request description: Get rid of all `ShutdownRequested` calls in validation code by introducing an interrupt object that applications can use to cancel long-running kernel operations. Replace all `AbortNode` calls in validation code with new fatal error and flush error notifications so kernel applications can be notified about failures and choose how to handle them. --- This pull request is part of the `libbitcoinkernel` project https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27587 https://github.com/orgs/bitcoin/projects/3 and more specifically its "Step 2: Decouple most non-consensus code from libbitcoinkernel". The pull request mostly allows dropping the kernel dependency on shutdown.cpp. The only dependency left after this is a `StartShutdown` call which will be removed in followup PR https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27711. This PR also drops the last reference to the `uiInterface` global in kernel code. The process of moving the `uiInterface` out of the kernel was started in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27636. This pull request contains a subset of patches originally proposed in #27711. It will be part of a series of changes required to make handling of interrupts (or in other words the current shutdown procedure) in the kernel library more transparent and less reliable on global mutable state. The set of patches contained here was originally proposed by @ryanofsky [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27711#issuecomment-1580779869).

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
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith 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.
macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
Setup Qt Creator
- Make sure you've installed all dependencies specified in your systems build instructions
- Follow the compile instructions for your system, run
./configurewith the--enable-debugflag - Start Qt Creator. At the start page, do:
New->Import Project->Import Existing Project - Enter
bitcoin-qtas the Project Name and enter the absolute path tosrc/qtas Location - Check over the file selection, you may need to select the
