clang-format

A script to format cpp source code according to the .clang-format file in the bitcoin repo. This should only be applied to new files or files which are currently not actively developed on. Also, git subtrees are not subject to formatting.

Note: The script is currently untested and unmaintained, but kept for archival reasons, in case it is planned to be used some day.

build-for-compare

Build for binary comparison.

See build-for-compare.py --help for more information.

Builds from current directory, which is assumed to be a git clone of the bitcoin repository.

DO NOT RUN this with the nocopy=1 flag set on working tree if you have any local additions, it will nuke all non-repository files, multiple times over. By leaving nocopy off (default) the git tree is copied to a temporary directory and all operations are performed there.

Example:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git bitcoin-compare
cd bitcoin-compare
../bitcoin-maintainer-tools/build-for-compare.py 4731cab 2f71490
sha256sum /tmp/compare/bitcoind.*.stripped
git diff -W --word-diff /tmp/compare/4731cab /tmp/compare/2f71490
