    Passing -persistmempool is currently treated as -nopersistmempool

    Any idea when this regressed, or has this been the case since the option was introduced?

  6. MarcoFalke commented at 11:23 AM on September 22, 2021: member

    I haven't checked, but I remember seeing this bug (#23062) since I started working on Bitcoin Core, though I might be mistaken.

  8. laanwj commented at 11:26 AM on September 22, 2021: member

    Ok adding backport label for 0.21.x as well then. That seems far enough back.

    I think change of behavior for -persistmempool should be noted in release notes, but otherwise code review ACK faff17bbde6dcb1482a6210bc48b3192603a446f

    Tested ACK faff17bbde6dcb1482a6210bc48b3192603a446f

    Verified that cherry-picking just the test change fails on master.

    Any idea when this regressed, or has this been the case since the option was introduced?

    Probably since it was introduced in #9966. Fortunately, I think it's unlikely that anyone would be using -persistmempool since the default is true.

    it's unlikely that anyone would be using -persistmempool since the default is true.

    Indeed. Also, there is no bug report. So maybe we can skip the backport, as the bugfix is also a (silent) behaviour change.

  39. MarcoFalke commented at 8:11 AM on September 27, 2021: member

    Removed from 0.21 backport for now, because this is a behaviour change. It is not affecting anyone with high likelyhood.

    If it is backported to 22.1, the release notes can be cleared in master.
