fa99c3b544test: Exclude SeedStartup from coverage counts (MarcoFalke)fa579d663dcontrib: Add deterministic-unittest-coverage (MarcoFalke)fa3940b1cbcontrib: deterministic-fuzz-coverage fixups (MarcoFalke)faf905b9b6doc: Remove unused -fPIC (MarcoFalke)fa1e0a7228gitignore: target/ (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: The `contrib/devtools/test_deterministic_coverage.sh` script is problematic: * It is written in bash. This can lead to issues when running with the ancient bash version shipped by macOS by default, or can lead to other compatibility issues, such as https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#discussion_r1946784827. Also, pipefail isn't set, so IO errors may be silently ignored. * It is based on gcov. This can lead to issues, such as https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#pullrequestreview-2602169248 (possibly due to prefix-map), or https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#issuecomment-2646395385 (gcovr processing error), or https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#pullrequestreview-2605954001 (gcovr assertion error). * The script is severely outdated, with the last update to `NON_DETERMINISTIC_TESTS` being in the prior decade. Instead of patching around all issues one-by-one, just provide a fresh rewrite, based on the recently added `deterministic-fuzz-coverage` tool based on clang, llvm-cov, and llvm-profdata. (Initial feedback indicates that this is a more promising attempt: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#issuecomment-2649356408 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#issuecomment-2649354598). The new tool also sets `RANDOM_CTX_SEED=21` as suggested by hodlinator in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31588#issuecomment-2650784726.

Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the 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.
Build Tools and Keys
Packaging
The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.
All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify-Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
Command Line Tools
Completions
Shell completions for bash and fish.
UTXO Set Tools
UTXO-to-SQLite
This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset)
to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the
module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help output.
