With this commit, core/state's access to the underlying key/value database is
mediated through an interface. Database errors are tracked in StateDB and
returned by CommitTo or the new Error method.
Motivation for this change: We can remove the light client's duplicated copy of
core/state. The light client now supports node iteration, so tracing and storage
enumeration can work with the light client (not implemented in this commit).
* p2p/discover, p2p/discv5: add marshaling methods to Node
* p2p/netutil: make Netlist decodable from TOML
* common/math: encode nil HexOrDecimal256 as 0x0
* cmd/geth: add --config file flag
* cmd/geth: add missing license header
* eth: prettify Config again, fix tests
* eth: use gasprice.Config instead of duplicating its fields
* eth/gasprice: hide nil default from dumpconfig output
* cmd/geth: hide genesis block in dumpconfig output
* node: make tests compile
* console: fix tests
* cmd/geth: make TOML keys look exactly like Go struct fields
* p2p: use discovery by default
This makes the zero Config slightly more useful. It also fixes package
node tests because Node detects reuse of the datadir through the
NodeDatabase.
* cmd/geth: make ethstats URL settable through config file
* cmd/faucet: fix configuration
* cmd/geth: dedup attach tests
* eth: add comment for DefaultConfig
* eth: pass downloader.SyncMode in Config
This removes the FastSync, LightSync flags in favour of a more
general SyncMode flag.
* cmd/utils: remove jitvm flags
* cmd/utils: make mutually exclusive flag error prettier
It now reads:
Fatal: flags --dev, --testnet can't be used at the same time
* p2p: fix typo
* node: add DefaultConfig, use it for geth
* mobile: add missing NoDiscovery option
* cmd/utils: drop MakeNode
This exposed a couple of places that needed to be updated to use
node.DefaultConfig.
* node: fix typo
* eth: make fast sync the default mode
* cmd/utils: remove IPCApiFlag (unused)
* node: remove default IPC path
Set it in the frontends instead.
* cmd/geth: add --syncmode
* cmd/utils: make --ipcdisable and --ipcpath mutually exclusive
* cmd/utils: don't enable WS, HTTP when setting addr
* cmd/utils: fix --identity
This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:
* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.
The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.
Reworked the EVM gas instructions to use 64bit integers rather than
arbitrary size big ints. All gas operations, be it additions,
multiplications or divisions, are checked and guarded against 64 bit
integer overflows.
In additon, most of the protocol paramaters in the params package have
been converted to uint64 and are now constants rather than variables.
* common/math: added overflow check ops
* core: vmenv, env renamed to evm
* eth, internal/ethapi, les: unmetered eth_call and cancel methods
* core/vm: implemented big.Int pool for evm instructions
* core/vm: unexported intPool methods & verification methods
* core/vm: added memoryGasCost overflow check and test

This commit implements EIP158 part 1, 2, 3 & 4
1. If an account is empty it's no longer written to the trie. An empty
account is defined as (balance=0, nonce=0, storage=0, code=0).
2. Delete an empty account if it's touched
3. An empty account is redefined as either non-existent or empty.
4. Zero value calls and zero value suicides no longer consume the 25k
reation costs.
params: moved core/config to params

This commit implements a dual state approach. The dual state approach
separates public and private state by making the core vm environment
context aware.
Although not currently implemented it will need to prohibit value
transfers and it must initialise all transactions from accounts on the
public state. This means that sending transactions increments the
account nonce on the public state and contract addresses are derived
from the public state when initialised by a transaction. For obvious
reasons, contract created by private contracts are still derived from
public state.
This is required in order to have consensus over the public state at all
times as non-private participants would still process the transaction on
the public state even though private payload can not be decrypted. This
means that participants of a private group must do the same in order to
have public consensus. However the creation of the contract and
interaction still occurs on the private state.
It implements support for the following calling model:
S: sender, (X): private, X: public, ->: direction, [ ]: read only mode
1. S -> A -> B
2. S -> (A) -> (B)
3. S -> (A) -> [ B -> C ]
It does not support
1. (S) -> A
2. (S) -> (A)
3. S -> (A) -> B
Implemented "read only" mode for the EVM. Read only mode is checked
during any opcode that could potentially modify the state. If such an
opcode is encountered during "read only", it throws an exception.
The EVM is flagged "read only" when a private contract calls in to
public state.
