77e553ab6a0a98d065884a83490f28eec6df0e23 build: refactor: hardening flags -> core_interface (David Gumberg) 00ba3ba30341a9073049125334f176d6c05d1b54 build: Drop option for disabling hardening (David Gumberg) f57db75e91dec7e57a7eecfd5f6c914f278bc543 build: Use `-z noseparate-code` on NetBSD < 11.0 (David Gumberg) Pull request description: Follow up to #32038 which dropped `NO_HARDEN` from depends builds, this PR drops the `ENABLE_HARDENING` build option since disabling hardening of binaries should not be a supported or maintained use case. With this change, hardening flags are always enabled. Individual hardening flags and options can still be disabled by appending flags, e.g.: ```bash cmake -B build \ -DAPPEND_CPPFLAGS='-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 -fno-stack-protector -fcf-protection=none -fno-stack-clash-protection' \ -DAPPEND_LDFLAGS='-Wl,-z,lazy -Wl,-z,norelro -Wl,-z,noseparate-code' ``` There is an issue with NetBSD 10.0's dynamic linker that makes one of the hardening linker flags, `-z separate-code`, [problematic](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28724#issuecomment-2589347934), so this PR also introduces a check to prevent the use of this flag in NetBSD versions < 11.0, (where this issue is [fixed](acf7fb3abf)). The fix for this [might be backported](https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2023/01/05/msg013670.html) to NetBSD 10.0. I suggest reviewing the diff with whitespace changes hidden (`git diff -w` or using github's hide whitespace option) ACKs for top commit: hebasto: re-ACK 77e553ab6a0a98d065884a83490f28eec6df0e23. laanwj: re-ACK 77e553ab6a0a98d065884a83490f28eec6df0e23 janb84: ACK [77e553a](77e553ab6a) vasild: ACK 77e553ab6a0a98d065884a83490f28eec6df0e23 musaHaruna: tested ACK [77e553](77e553ab6a) Tree-SHA512: b149fb0371d12312c140255bf674c2bdc9f5272a5750a5b9ec5f192323364bb2ea8e164af13b9ab981ab3aa7ceb91b7a64785081e7458470e81c2f5228abf7b1
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: build/test/functional/test_runner.py
(assuming build is your build directory).
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.
