49ee2a0ad88e0e656234b769d806987784ff1e28 Avoid wallet code writing node settings file (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
Change wallet loading code to access settings through the Chain interface instead of writing settings.json directly. This is for running wallet and node in separate processes, since multiprocess code wouldn't easily work with different processes updating the same file.

src/node/
The src/node/
directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain
, CBlockIndex
, CCoinsView
, CTxMemPool
, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/
is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/
and src/qt/
, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/
,
src/wallet/
, or src/qt/
directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/
classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp
and
src/txmempool.cpp
might be moved there.
