Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#29404: refactor: bitcoin-config.h includes cleanup
9d1dbbd4ceb8c04340927f5127195dc306adf3fc scripted-diff: Fix bitcoin_config_h includes (TheCharlatan)

Pull request description:

  As mentioned in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26924#issuecomment-1403449932 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29263#issuecomment-1922334399, it is currently not safe to remove `bitcoin-config.h` includes from headers because some unrelated file might be depending on it.

  See also #26972 for discussion.

  Solve this by including the file directly everywhere it's required, regardless of whether or not it's already included by another header.

  There should be no functional change here, but it will allow us to safely remove includes from headers in the future.

  ~I'm afraid it's a bit tedious to reproduce these commits, but it's reasonably straightforward:~
  Edit: See note below

  ```bash
  # All commands executed from the src/ subdir.

  # Collect all tokens from bitcoin-config.h.in
  # Isolate the tokens and remove blank lines
  # Replace newlines with | and remove the last trailing one
  # Collect all files which use these tokens
  # Filter out subprojects (proper forwarding can be verified from Makefiles)
  # Filter out .rc files
  # Save to a text file
  git grep -E -l `grep undef config/bitcoin-config.h.in | cut -d" " -f2 | grep -v '^$' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'` | grep -v -e "^leveldb/" -e "^secp256k1/" -e "^crc32c/" -e "^minisketch/" -e "^Makefile" -e "\.rc$" > files-with-config-include.txt

  # Find all files from the above list which don't include bitcoin-config.h
  git grep -L -E "config/bitcoin-config.h" -- `cat files-with-config-include.txt`

  # Include them manually with the exception of some files in crypto:
  # crypto/sha256_arm_shani.cpp crypto/sha256_avx2.cpp crypto/sha256_sse41.cpp crypto/sha256_x86_shani.cpp
  # These are exceptions which don't use bitcoin-config.h, rather the Makefile.am adds these cppflags manually.

  # Commit changes. This should match the first commit of this PR.

  # Use the same search as above to find all files which DON'T use any config tokens
  git grep -E -L `grep undef config/bitcoin-config.h.in | cut -d" " -f2 | grep -v '^$' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'` | grep -v -e "^leveldb/" -e "^secp256k1/" -e "^crc32c/" -e "^minisketch/" -e "^Makefile" -e "\.rc$" > files-without-config-include.txt

  # Manually remove the includes and commit changes. This should match the second commit of this PR.
  ```

  Edit: I'll keep this old description for posterity, but the manual approach has been replaced with a scripted diff from TheCharlatan

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.

The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.

Compile and run

See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.

To run:

./src/qt/bitcoin-qt

Files and Directories

forms/

  • A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.

locale/

  • Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.

res/

  • Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.

test/

  • Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.

bitcoingui.(h/cpp)

  • Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.

*model.(h/cpp)

  • The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
  • ClientModel is used by the main application bitcoingui and several models like peertablemodel.

*page.(h/cpp)

  • A controller. :NAMEpage.cpp generally includes :NAMEmodel.h and forms/:NAME.page.ui with a similar :NAME.

*dialog.(h/cpp)

  • Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.

paymentserver.(h/cpp)

  • (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).

walletview.(h/cpp)

  • Represents the view to a single wallet.

Other .h/cpp files

  • UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.
  • bitcoinstrings.cpp: automatically generated
  • bitcoinunits.(h/cpp): BTC / mBTC / etc. handling
  • callback.h
  • guiconstants.h: UI colors, app name, etc.
  • guiutil.h: several helper functions
  • macdockiconhandler.(h/mm): macOS dock icon handler
  • macnotificationhandler.(h/mm): display notifications in macOS

Using Qt Creator as an IDE

Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.

Download Qt Creator

On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.

Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.

macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator

Setup Qt Creator

  1. Make sure you've installed all dependencies specified in your systems build instructions
  2. Follow the compile instructions for your system, run ./configure with the --enable-debug flag
  3. Start Qt Creator. At the start page, do: New -> Import Project -> Import Existing Project
  4. Enter bitcoin-qt as the Project Name and enter the absolute path to src/qt as Location
  5. Check over the file selection, you may need to select the forms directory (necessary if you intend to edit *.ui files)
  6. Confirm the Summary page
  7. In the Projects tab, select Manage Kits...

macOS

  • Under Kits: select the default "Desktop" kit
  • Under Compilers: select "Clang (x86 64bit in /usr/bin)"
  • Under Debuggers: select "LLDB" as debugger (you might need to set the path to your LLDB installation)

Ubuntu & Debian

Note: Some of these options may already be set

  • Under Kits: select the default "Desktop" kit
  • Under Compilers: select "GCC (x86 64bit in /usr/bin)"
  • Under Debuggers: select "GDB" as debugger
  1. While in the Projects tab, ensure that you have the bitcoin-qt executable specified under Run
  • If the executable is not specified: click "Choose...", navigate to src/qt, and select bitcoin-qt
  1. You're all set! Start developing, building, and debugging the Bitcoin Core GUI
