This has the benefit of moving the StartShutdown call out of the
blockstorage file and thus out of the kernel's responsibility. The user
can now decide if he wants to start shutdown / interrupt after a block
import or not.
This is done in addition with the following commit. Both have the goal
of getting rid of direct calls to AbortNode from kernel code. This extra
flushError method is added to notify specifically about errors that
arrise when flushing (syncing) block data to disk. Unlike other
instances, the current calls to AbortNode in the blockstorage flush
functions do not report an error to their callers.
This commit is part of the libbitcoinkernel project and further removes
the shutdown's and, more generally, the kernel library's dependency on
interface_ui with a kernel notification method. By removing interface_ui
from the kernel library, its dependency on boost is reduced to just
boost::multi_index. At the same time it also takes a step towards
de-globalising the interrupt infrastructure.
Add a stop_after_block_import field to the BlockManager options. Use
this field instead of the global gArgs.
This should allow users of the BlockManager to not rely on the global
Args.
Add a blocks_dir field to the BlockManager options. Move functions
relying on the global gArgs to get the blocks_dir into the BlockManager
class.
This should eventually allow users of the BlockManager to not rely on
the global Args and instead pass in their own options.
Remove access to the global gArgs for the fastprune argument and
replace it by adding a field to the existing BlockManager Options
struct.
When running `clang-tidy-diff` on this commit, there is a diagnostic
error: `unknown type name 'uint64_t' [clang-diagnostic-error] uint64_t
prune_target{0};`, which is fixed by including cstdint.
This should eventually allow users of the BlockManager to not rely on
the global gArgs and instead pass in their own options.
