When a chain reorganisation occurs we collect the logs that were deleted
during the chain reorganisation. The removed logs are posted to the
event mux indicating that those were deleted during the reorg.
The runtime environment can be used for simple basic execution of
contract code without the requirement of setting up a full stack and
operates fully in memory.
This removes the burden on a single object to take care of all
validation and state processing. Now instead the validation is done by
the `core.BlockValidator` (`types.Validator`) that takes care of both
header and uncle validation through the `ValidateBlock` method and state
validation through the `ValidateState` method. The state processing is
done by a new object `core.StateProcessor` (`types.Processor`) and
accepts a new state as input and uses that to process the given block's
transactions (and uncles for rewords) to calculate the state root for
the next block (P_n + 1).
The amount of gas available for tx execution was tracked in the
StateObject representing the coinbase account. This commit makes the gas
counter a separate type in package core, which avoids unintended
consequences of intertwining the counter with state logic.
Moved the execution of instructions to the instruction it self. This
will allow for specialised instructions (e.g. segments) to be execution
in the same manner as regular instructions.
Log filtering is now using a MIPmap like approach where addresses of
logs are added to a mapped bloom bin. The current levels for the MIP are
in ranges of 1.000.000, 500.000, 100.000, 50.000, 1.000. Logs are
therefor filtered in batches of 1.000.
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* core/vm: byte code VM moved to jump table instead of switch
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* Byte code VM now shares the same code as the JITVM
* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
`Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.
Moved the filtering system from `event` to `eth/filters` package and
removed the `core.Filter` object. The `filters.Filter` object now
requires a `common.Database` rather than a `eth.Backend` and invokes the
`core.GetBlockByX` directly rather than thru a "manager".
This PR solves an issue with the chain manager posting a
`RemovedTransactionEvent`, the tx pool will try to
acquire the chainmanager lock which has previously been locked prior to
posting `RemovedTransactionEvent`. This results in a deadlock in the
core.
