6eeb188d40fe8f6c3b0a3be6dca519ea9a7b2358 test: adds seednode functional tests (Sergi Delgado Segura) 3270f0adad6ccbb8c004fb222f420e9b3ea32ea6 net: Favor peers from addrman over fetching seednodes (Sergi Delgado Segura) Pull request description: This is a follow-up of #28016 motivated by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28016#pullrequestreview-1913140932 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28016#issuecomment-1984448937. The current behavior of seednode fetching is pretty eager: we do it as the first step under `ThreadOpenNetworkConnections` even if some peers may be queryable from our addrman. This poses two potential issues: - First, if permanently set (e.g. running with seednode in a config file) we'd be signaling such seed every time we restart our node - Second, we will be giving the seed node way too much influence over our addrman, populating the latter with data from the former even when unnecessary This changes the behavior to only add seednodes to `m_addr_fetch` if our addrman is empty, or little by little after we've spent some time trying addresses from our addrman. Also, seednodes are added to `m_addr_fetch` in random order, to avoid signaling the same node in case more than one seed is added and we happen to try them over multiple restarts ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK 6eeb188d40fe8f6c3b0a3be6dca519ea9a7b2358 cbergqvist: ACK 6eeb188d40fe8f6c3b0a3be6dca519ea9a7b2358 itornaza: Tested ACK 6eeb188d40fe8f6c3b0a3be6dca519ea9a7b2358 tdb3: ACK 6eeb188d40fe8f6c3b0a3be6dca519ea9a7b2358 Tree-SHA512: b04445412f22018852d6bef4d3f1e88425ee6ddb434f61dcffa9e0c41b8e31f8c56f83858d5c7686289c86dc4c9476c437df15ea61a47082e2bb2e073cc62f15
Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.
What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
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 during the generation of the build system) with: ctest
. 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.
