71656bdfaa6bfe08ce9651246a3ef606f923351b gui: crash fix, disconnect numBlocksChanged() signal during shutdown (furszy) Pull request description: Aiming to fix bitcoin-core/gui#862. The crash stems from the order of the shutdown procedure: We first unset the client model, then destroy the wallet controller—but we leave the internal wallet models (`m_wallets`) untouched for a brief period. As a result, there’s a point in time where views still have connected signals and access to wallet models that are not connected to any wallet controller. Now.. since the `clientModel` is only replaced with nullptr locally and not destroyed yet, signals like `numBlocksChanged` can still emit. Thus, when wallet views receive them, they see a non-null wallet model ptr, and proceed to call backend functions from a model that is being torn down. As the shutdown procedure begins by unsetting `clientModel` from all views. It’s safe to ignore events when `clientModel` is nullptr.

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 is specified in qt_details.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:
./build/bin/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
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith 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.

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
