This supports lcov 2.x in the sense that we are no-longer hardcoding version specific options, and instead will use the `LCOV_OPTS` variable (which is the more correct/flexible thing to do in any case). It's also quite likely that devs are already having to pass extra options to lcov 2.x, given it's more stringent in terms of coverage generation and error checking. See this thread for an example: https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov/issues/238. Added an example to the developer notes. Tested on one machine (LCOV 2.0, gcc 13.2) with: ```bash ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-lcov CXXFLAGS="-fprofile-update=prefer-atomic" LCOV_OPTS="--rc branch_coverage=1 --ignore-errors mismatch" make make cov <snip> Processing file src/netaddress.cpp lines=521 hit=480 functions=72 hit=72 branches=675 hit=499 Overall coverage rate: lines......: 81.8% (79362 of 97002 lines) functions......: 77.8% (10356 of 13310 functions) branches......: 49.6% (130628 of 263196 branches) ``` and another machine (LCOV 2.1, Clang 18.1.3) with: ```bash ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-lcov CC=clang CXX=clang++ LCOV_OPTS="--rc branch_coverage=1 --ignore-errors mismatch,inconsistent" make make cov <snip> Processing file src/util/strencodings.cpp lines=315 hit=311 functions=38 hit=38 branches=425 hit=357 Overall coverage rate: source files: 622 lines.......: 79.8% (70311 of 88132 lines) functions...: 78.1% (13968 of 17881 functions) branches....: 44.5% (157551 of 354317 branches) Message summary: 101 warning messages: count: 1 inconsistent: 100 3528 ignore messages: inconsistent: 3528 ``` |

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
