b6718e373e tests: Use MakeUnique to construct objects owned by unique_ptrs (practicalswift) Pull request description: A subset of #14211 ("Use MakeUnique to construct objects owned by unique_ptrs") as suggested by @MarcoFalke in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14211#issuecomment-423324019. Use `MakeUnique` to construct objects owned by `unique_ptr`s. Rationale: * `MakeUnique` ensures exception safety in complex expressions. * `MakeUnique` gives a more concise statement of the construction.

a2eb6f5405 [rpc] Add getnodeaddresses RPC command (chris-belcher) Pull request description: Implements issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9463 New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr p2p method. Please advise me on the best approach for writing an automated test. By my reading the getaddr p2p method also isn't really tested.

2018-09-17[rpc] Add getnodeaddresses RPC commandchris-belcher
New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr p2p method. Tests the new rpc call by feeding IP address to a test node via the p2p protocol, then obtaining someone of those addresses with getnodeaddresses and checking that they are a subset.

deprecated zeromq api functions f1bd03eb013b96ff040a8f835e4137fbd2a38cda [depends, zmq, doc] upgrade zeromq to 4.2.5 and avoid deprecated zeromq api functions (mruddy) Pull request description: Upgrade the ZeroMQ dependency from version 4.2.3 to the latest stable version 4.2.5. This PR Follows the lead of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11986. I upgraded both patch files to correspond to the version `4.2.5` libzmq files. I assume doing so is still necessary and correct. Without updating the patch line numbers, things appear to work, but you get extra log messages while building `depends` because things don't exactly match, e.g.: ``` /bitcoin/depends> make zeromq Extracting zeromq... /bitcoin/depends/sources/zeromq-4.2.5.tar.gz: OK Preprocessing zeromq... patching file src/windows.hpp Hunk #1 succeeded at 58 (offset 3 lines). patching file src/thread.cpp Hunk #1 succeeded at 307 with fuzz 2 (offset 87 lines). Hunk #2 succeeded at 323 with fuzz 2 (offset 90 lines). ``` Updating the patches seemed cleaner, so I did it. Note that libzmq had some whitespace changes, so that's why the updated patches do too.

Instead, applications should be tested locally (e.g. by inspecting the debug log of a validating node on the local network) Using the p2p network for this purpose seems wasteful and even dangerous, as peers can not be trusted to send the correct reject messages or a reject message at all.
