55e05a82cdc347400e4e6f8df2b0aba690b835ea Added some factors that affect the dependency list (Martin Erlandsson) Pull request description: To simplify build instructions, the librsvg formula should be moved to the main `brew install ...` command, in my opinion. It is not a big problem to install a single extra formula, and it will only be unused for some users. An additional reason for this change is that I would like to add a comment (in a future PR) about making sure you have the latest version of all deps (in the case of preexisting formulae). That comment can be authored more clearly if this simplification PR is merged.

2019-02-11Merge #15226: Allow creating blank (empty) wallets (alternative)MeshCollider
7687f7873 [wallet] Support creating a blank wallet (Andrew Chow) Pull request description: Alternative (kind of) to #14938 This PR adds a `blank` parameter to the `createwallet` RPC to create a wallet that has no private keys initially. `sethdseed` can then be used to make a clean wallet with a custom seed. `encryptwallet` can also be used to make a wallet that is born encrypted. Instead of changing the version number as done in #14938, a wallet flag is used to indicate that the wallet should be blank. This flag is set at creation, and then unset when the wallet is no longer blank. A wallet becomes non-blank when a HD seed is set or anything is imported. The main change to create a blank wallet is primarily taken from #14938. Also with this, the term "blank wallet" is used instead of "empty wallet" to avoid confusion with wallets that have balance which would also be referred to as "empty". This is built on top of #15225 in order to fix GUI issues.

2019-02-10[wallet] Support creating a blank walletAndrew Chow
A blank wallet is a wallet that has no keys, script or watch only things. A new wallet flag indicating that it is blank will be set when the wallet is blank. Once it is no longer blank (a seed has been generated, keys or scripts imported, etc), the flag will be unset.

Can be used in conjunction with `scantxoutset` as a poor mans wallet. Might be useful to test more complicated future descriptors. ~To keep it as simple as possible it only supports descriptors that result in a single address, so no `combo()` and ranges.~ As discussed recently on IRC it might make sense to put this in a separate utility along with other descriptor and psbt utility functions which don't need a chain or wallet context.

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne) 58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne) Pull request description: Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`. While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code. `perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke. ### Example ```python with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"): for i in range(200): node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg) node.p2p.sync_with_ping() ``` This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`). Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test: ```bash $ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \ | c++filt \ | less # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 135 of event 'cycles:pp' # Event count (approx.): 1458205679493582 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............... ................... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ # 70.14% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) | ---CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) 70.14% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) | ---CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) 35.52% 0.00% bitcoin-net bitcoind [.] std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> > >, unsigned long, char const&) | ---std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, std::vector<char, zero_after_free_allocator<char> > >, unsigned long, char const&) CNetMessage::readData(char const*, unsigned int) CNode::ReceiveMsgBytes(char const*, unsigned int, bool&) ... ``` Tree-SHA512: 9ac4ceaa88818d5eca00994e8e3c8ad42ae019550d6583972a0a4f7b0c4f61032e3d0c476b4ae58756bc5eb8f8015a19a7fc26c095bd588f31d49a37ed0c6b3e

2ca632e5b44a8385989c8539cc4e30e60fdee16c test: Build fuzz targets into seperate executables (MarcoFalke) fab4bed68a3964ace5620a25d32d62ed87003126 [test] fuzz: make test_one_input return void (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: Currently our fuzzer is a single binary that decides on the first few bits of the buffer what target to pick. This is ineffective as the fuzzer needs to "learn" how the fuzz targets are organized and could get easily confused. Not to mention that the (seed) corpus can not be categorized by target, since targets might "leak" into each other. Also the corpus would potentially become invalid if we ever wanted to remove a target... Solve that by building each fuzz target into their own executable.
