# src/node/
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The [`src/node/`](./) directory contains code that needs to access node state
|
|
|
|
|
(state in `CChain`, `CBlockIndex`, `CCoinsView`, `CTxMemPool`, and similar
|
|
|
|
|
classes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Code in [`src/node/`](./) is meant to be segregated from code in
|
|
|
|
|
[`src/wallet/`](../wallet/) and [`src/qt/`](../qt/), to ensure wallet and GUI
|
|
|
|
|
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
|
|
|
|
|
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
|
|
|
|
|
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the [`src/node/`](./),
|
|
|
|
|
[`src/wallet/`](../wallet/), or [`src/qt/`](../qt/) directories should avoid
|
|
|
|
|
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
|
|
|
|
|
through the more limited [`src/interfaces/`](../interfaces/) classes.

This directory is at the moment
|
2019-04-02 17:14:35 -04:00
|
|
|
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
|
|
|
|
|
[`src/validation.cpp`](../validation.cpp) and
|
|
|
|
|
[`src/txmempool.cpp`](../txmempool.cpp) might be moved there.
