Koinos Block Producer

This program implements the block producer microservice, the source of block creation, for the Koinos Blockchain Framework.

Project Structure

This project's structure follows the Pitchfork specification.

├── build/   # An ephemeral directory for building the project. Not checked in, but excluded via .gitignore.
└── src/     # Contains all source code and private headers for Koinos Block Producer.

Building

Koinos Block Producer's build process is configured using CMake. Additionally, all dependencies are managed through Hunter, a CMake drive package manager for C/C++. This means that all dependencies are downloaded and built during configuration rather than relying on system installed libraries.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . --config Release --parallel

You can optionally run static analysis with Clang-Tidy during the build process. Static analysis is checked in CI and is required to pass before merging pull requests.

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D STATIC_ANALYSIS=ON ..

Formatting

Formatting of the source code is enforced by ClangFormat. If ClangFormat is installed, build targets will be automatically generated. You can review the library's code style by uploading the included .clang-format to https://clang-format-configurator.site/.

You can build format.check to check formattting and format.fix to attempt to automatically fix formatting. It is recommended to check and manually fix formatting as automatic formatting can unintentionally change code.
