3f8776a1391c3978ed66144df15fd9bcb9edd35d Re-add dead code detection (flack) Pull request description: This re-adds unreachable code detection for Python based on `vulture`. Effectively, this reverts f4beb4996d27f2cdaf4f0a63e7dc044bf17decce. The difference to the previous version is that this runs with the `--min-confidence 100` setting. From https://pypi.org/project/vulture/: > Use `--min-confidence 100` to only report code that is guaranteed to be unused within the analyzed files. So this should avoid the previous issues where static analysis had wrong positives due to the dynamic nature of Python code by only reporting things that are unambiguous (such as code after a `return` statement). As such, there is not suppressions list. My motivation was mainly #21081 which would have been caught by this (as can be seen by the CI run failing). This is still marked as draft because #21081 is needed to get the linter to pass. Also, there is a second problem that this found (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19509/files#r571454691). From what I can tell, this is a spurious type comment that could just be removed (or if that line has no side effects it could also be deleted altogether?). I could add a commit here to fix it, but I wanted to see if there is interest in having this linter again in the first place ACKs for top commit: practicalswift: ACK 3f8776a1391c3978ed66144df15fd9bcb9edd35d Tree-SHA512: 52314ad4f627d969de1eb15375ca677ed86a2e816fe773756a1ce22421214ba407b5a09a4bf701a3aab1a10c7b336f548e4cef3327edf154acba55e987db21f6
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 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, 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 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.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
