f1a0314c537791f202dfb7c1209f0e04ba7988c3 gui: change combiner for signals to optional_last_value (Cory Fields) Pull request description: [`optional_last_value`](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_73_0/doc/html/boost/signals2/optional_last_value.html), which does not throw, has replaced `last_value` as Boosts default combiner. Besides being better supported, it also doesn't trigger gcc's `-Wmaybe-unitialized` warning, presumably because exceptions no longer bubble-up out of signals: ```bash In file included from ui_interface.cpp:9: /bitcoin/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/../include/boost/signals2/last_value.hpp: In member function 'boost::signals2::detail::signal_impl<R(Args ...), Combiner, Group, GroupCompare, SlotFunction, ExtendedSlotFunction, Mutex>::result_type boost::signals2::detail::signal_impl<R(Args ...), Combiner, Group, GroupCompare, SlotFunction, ExtendedSlotFunction, Mutex>::operator()(Args ...)

More information is also available here https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_73_0/doc/html/signals2/rationale.html#id-1.3.36.9.4: > The default combiner for Boost.Signals2 has changed from the last_value combiner used by default in the original Boost.Signals library. > This is because last_value requires that at least 1 slot be connected to the signal when it is invoked (except for the last_value<void> specialization). > In a multi-threaded environment where signal invocations and slot connections and disconnections may be happening concurrently, it is difficult to fulfill this requirement. When using optional_last_value, there is no requirement for slots to be connected when a signal is invoked, since in that case the combiner may simply return an empty boost::optional.

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 Travis CI system makes 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.
