![]() This is a step toward removing the Chain::Lock class and reducing cs_main locking. It also helps ensure the GUI display stays up to date in the case where the node chain height runs ahead of wallet last block processed height. |

Internal c++ interfaces
The following interfaces are defined here:
-
Chain
— used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973. -
ChainClient
— used by node to start & stopChain
clients. Added in #14437. -
Node
— used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244. -
Handler
— returned byhandleEvent
methods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers. -
Init
— used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #10102.
The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
