Changes

  • Moves CoinControl function definitions from coincontrol.h to coincontrol.cpp
  • Adds documentation comments
  • Renames class member setSelectedm_selected_inputs for improved comprehension
  • Changes GetExternalOutput to return std::optional<CTxOut> instead of using output parameter
  • Changes ListSelected to return std::vector<COutPoint> instead of using output parameter

Dash-specific notes

  • Preserved Dash-specific UseCoinJoin and IsUsingCoinJoin methods
  • Did not include InputWeight methods (SetInputWeight, HasInputWeight, GetInputWeight) as these were from a prior Bitcoin PR not yet backported to Dash

Original commit: 0e70a1b

Summary by CodeRabbit

Walkthrough

Change CCoinControl's selection API: ListSelected() now returns a std::vector<COutPoint> and GetExternalOutput() returns std::optional<CTxOut>. New public selection methods added and callers updated to the new return-value and optional-based patterns.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
API declarations and internal state
src/wallet/coincontrol.h
Add nine public selection methods (HasSelected, IsSelected, IsExternalSelected, GetExternalOutput, Select, SelectExternal, UnSelect, UnSelectAll, ListSelected). Change GetExternalOutput to return std::optional<CTxOut>. Change ListSelected to return std::vector<COutPoint>. Rename internal setSelectedm_selected_inputs. Add #include <optional>.
Method implementations
src/wallet/coincontrol.cpp
Implement the new public methods and updated ListSelected()/GetExternalOutput() behaviors using internal m_selected_inputs and m_external_txouts.
Wallet logic adaptation
src/wallet/spend.cpp
Replace out-parameter patterns with optional-return checks; use ListSelected() return value directly in iterations; update external-output handling to use std::optional<CTxOut> before dereferencing. Minor formatting adjustments in error paths.
UI layer adaptation
src/qt/coincontroldialog.cpp
Update ListSelected call site from filling an output vector (m_coin_control.ListSelected(vCoinControl)) to direct assignment (auto vCoinControl{m_coin_control.ListSelected()}).
Tests / fuzz
src/wallet/test/fuzz/coincontrol.cpp
Update fuzz call sites to accommodate GetExternalOutput(const COutPoint&) returning a value and ListSelected() returning a vector (call sites ignore returned value where applicable).

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~45 minutes

  • Inspect all call sites for ListSelected() and GetExternalOutput() to ensure correct optional checks and no regressions.
  • Review new selection methods' semantics and thread-safety/const-correctness in coincontrol.cpp/.h.
  • Verify rename setSelectedm_selected_inputs applied consistently and no remaining references to old name.
  • Check tests/fuzz adjustments to ensure they still exercise intended behaviors.

Bitcoin Commit: 0e70a1b625 (bitcoin#26066)

Summary

This PR correctly backports the CoinControl refactoring from Bitcoin. The changes move function definitions from coincontrol.h to coincontrol.cpp, add documentation, rename setSelected to m_selected_inputs, and update GetExternalOutput() to return std::optional.

Verification Results

CI Status: All 53 checks passing
File-by-file comparison: Changes match Bitcoin intent
Size ratio: 76.4% (165/216 changes) - acceptable for partial backport
No scope creep detected
Standard Dash adaptations applied correctly

Notable Differences from Bitcoin

This PR does not include the input weight methods (SetInputWeight, HasInputWeight, GetInputWeight) because:

  1. Bitcoin PR wallet: Allow users to specify input weights when funding a transaction bitcoin/bitcoin#23201 was only partially backported to Dash (external outputs were added, but input weights were not)
  2. The base branch (backport-0.26-batch-448) does not have these methods
  3. Input weight functionality is not used anywhere in the Dash codebase
  4. This PR correctly refactors only the methods that exist in Dash

The size difference (76.4% vs expected 80-150%) is entirely explained by the missing input weight methods from the original Bitcoin commit.

Files Changed (All Correct)

  • src/qt/coincontroldialog.cpp - Updated to use new ListSelected() return type
  • src/wallet/coincontrol.h - Moved inline definitions to .cpp, added documentation
  • src/wallet/coincontrol.cpp - Added function implementations
  • src/wallet/spend.cpp - Updated to use std::optional return from GetExternalOutput()

Recommendation

APPROVE - This is a faithful and correct backport of bitcoin#26066, adapted appropriately for Dash's current codebase state.

- Refactor DummySignTx check to one-liner in CalculateMaximumSignedTxSize
- Update fuzz test to use new GetExternalOutput API (returns std::optional)
- Update fuzz test to use new ListSelected API (returns vector directly)

Verification: Fixes Applied

I've applied the following fixes to complete the Bitcoin backport:

Changes Made:

  1. src/wallet/spend.cpp:51 - Refactored DummySignTx error check to one-liner:

    if (!wallet->DummySignTx(txNew, txouts, coin_control)) return -1;

    This matches Bitcoin's refactoring style (adapted for Dash's int64_t return type instead of Bitcoin's TxSize struct).

  2. src/wallet/test/fuzz/coincontrol.cpp - Updated fuzz test to use the new API:

    • GetExternalOutput() now returns std::optional<CTxOut> instead of taking an output parameter
    • ListSelected() now returns a vector directly instead of taking an output parameter

Analysis:

The missing changes identified by @knst were incomplete applications of Bitcoin PR bitcoin#26066's refactoring. The PR correctly backported:

  • API changes to GetExternalOutput (now returns std::optional)
  • API changes to ListSelected (now returns vector)
  • Renaming setSelected -> m_selected_inputs
  • Moving method implementations to .cpp file

But it missed:

  • The style change to the DummySignTx check
  • Updating the Dash-specific fuzz test

These were not dependency issues - just incomplete refactoring application.

Size Ratio:

The 76.4% size ratio is expected because:

Build passes. Ready for re-verification after CI completes.

**: # CodeRabbit AI Review Instructions for Dash Backports

Your Role

You are reviewing Bitcoin Core backports to Dash Core. Your ONLY job is to validate that the Dash commit faithfully represents the original Bitcoin commit with minimal, necessary adaptations.

Critical Validation Rules

1. File Operations Must Match (AUTO-REJECT if violated)

  • If Bitcoin modifies an existing file → Dash MUST modify (not create new)
  • If Bitcoin creates a new file → Dash creates
  • If Bitcoin deletes a file → Dash deletes
  • Common failure: Bitcoin modifies keys.txt, Dash creates new file with 58 keys

2. Size Ratio Check (80-150% of Bitcoin)

  • Count functional lines changed (exclude comments/whitespace)
  • Dash changes should be 80-150% of Bitcoin's size
  • Red flag: 2-line Bitcoin fix becoming 150+ lines in Dash

3. No Scope Creep

  • Reject if you see: "TODO:", "FIXME:", "while we're here", "also fix"
  • No unrelated refactoring or style changes
  • Only Bitcoin's intended changes + minimal Dash adaptations

4. Bitcoin-Specific Code Detection

  • Auto-reject witness/segwit code: msg_wtxidrelay, MSG_WTX, witness imports
  • Auto-reject RBF (replace-by-fee) functionality
  • Note: PSBT is supported in Dash (don't flag)

5. Mandatory Adaptations Only

  • bitcoindash in strings/paths
  • BitcoinDash in user-facing text
  • Port numbers: 8332→9998 (RPC), 8333→9999 (P2P)
  • Hardcoded test values specific to Dash
  • No other changes unless absolutely required

6. Completeness Check

  • All files changed in Bitcoin must be present
  • Extra files need clear justification (Dash-specific compatibility)
  • Missing files = incomplete backport

Review Process

  1. First: Check file operations match exactly
  2. Second: Calculate size ratio
  3. Third: Scan for scope creep patterns
  4. Fourth: Detect Bitcoin-specific code
  5. Fifth: Verify all changes are minimal adaptations

Output Format

VALIDATION: [PASS/FAIL]

Learning: During multiple verification attempts of Bitcoin Core commit 06d469c26b backport to Dash PR #566, DashCoreAutoGuix consistently identified scope creep in interface_usdt_utxocache.py where additional pruning test functionality was added beyond the original Bitcoin commit. The user provided comprehensive fixes including both scope creep removal and missing mempool test file additions, but couldn't push due to authentication restrictions. The scope creep fix was identified as the priority to resolve CI failures.

Learning: In Dash backports from Bitcoin Core, including necessary compilation fixes (such as API compatibility changes like UniValue get_int() → getInt<int>()) alongside the core backport is standard and expected practice. These compatibility fixes ensure the backported code compiles in Dash's evolved codebase while preserving Bitcoin's original functionality and intent.

🔇 Additional comments (4)
src/wallet/test/fuzz/coincontrol.cpp (1)

56-56: LGTM! Fuzz test correctly updated for new API.

The changes properly reflect the refactored CCoinControl API where GetExternalOutput now returns std::optional<CTxOut> and ListSelected returns std::vector<COutPoint>. Discarding return values is appropriate for fuzz testing.

Also applies to: 72-72

src/wallet/spend.cpp (3)

51-51: LGTM! Clean formatting.

The single-line early-return pattern is clear and idiomatic.


66-68: LGTM! Correct optional migration.

The migration from out-parameter to std::optional return type is properly implemented. The null check before dereferencing is safe, and using a const reference to the optional avoids unnecessary copies.


521-521: LGTM! Clean API migration.

The change from out-parameter to return value makes the code more idiomatic. The range-based for loop cleanly iterates over the returned vector.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

LGTM! Correct optional migration.

The migration to std::optional is properly implemented with safe null-checking before dereferencing.

Optional style note: Line 534 uses const auto out (copy) while line 66 uses const auto& txout (reference). For consistency, consider using const auto& here as well to avoid copying the optional, though both approaches are functionally correct.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In src/wallet/spend.cpp around lines 534 to 538, the optional returned by
coin_control.GetExternalOutput is currently captured by value using "const auto
out"; change this to capture by reference using "const auto& out" to match the
style used elsewhere (e.g. const auto& txout) and avoid copying the optional
object before checking and dereferencing it.

- Add blank line after if (!out) block before txout assignment
- This matches Bitcoin's formatting in commit 0e70a1b
