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.
This commit includes several API changes:
- The behavior of eth_sign is changed. It now accepts an arbitrary
message, prepends the well-known string
\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n<length of message>
hashes the result using keccak256 and calculates the signature of
the hash. This breaks backwards compatability!
- personal_sign(hash, address [, password]) is added. It has the same
semantics as eth_sign but also accepts a password. The private key
used to sign the hash is temporarily unlocked in the scope of the
request.
- personal_recover(message, signature) is added and returns the
address for the account that created a signature.
This commit converts the dependency management from Godeps to the vendor
folder, also switching the tool from godep to trash. Since the upstream tool
lacks a few features proposed via a few PRs, until those PRs are merged in
(if), use github.com/karalabe/trash.
You can update dependencies via trash --update.
All dependencies have been updated to their latest version.
Parts of the build system are reworked to drop old notions of Godeps and
invocation of the go vet command so that it doesn't run against the vendor
folder, as that will just blow up during vetting.
The conversion drops OpenCL (and hence GPU mining support) from ethash and our
codebase. The short reasoning is that there's noone to maintain and having
opencl libs in our deps messes up builds as go install ./... tries to build
them, failing with unsatisfied link errors for the C OpenCL deps.
golang.org/x/net/context is not vendored in. We expect it to be fetched by the
user (i.e. using go get). To keep ci.go builds reproducible the package is
"vendored" in build/_vendor.
Support for legacy version 0.9.x is gone. The compiler version is no
longer cached. Compilation results (and the version) are read directly
from stdout using the --combined-json flag. As a workaround for
ethereum/solidity#651, source code is written to a temporary file before
compilation.
Integration of solc in package ethapi and cmd/abigen is now much simpler
because the compiler wrapper is no longer passed around as a pointer.
Fixes#2806, accidentally
- Manager.Accounts no longer returns an error.
- Manager methods take Account instead of common.Address.
- All uses of Account with unkeyed fields are converted.
Added chain configuration options and write out during genesis database
insertion. If no "config" was found, nothing is written to the database.
Configurations are written on a per genesis base. This means
that any chain (which is identified by it's genesis hash) can have their
own chain settings.
* Removed some strange code that didn't apply state reverting properly
* Refactored code setting from vm & state transition to the executioner
* Updated tests
I am working on porting geth to [Ubuntu Core](https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/). I am testing geth on a Raspberry PI and for Ubuntu Core the $HOME directory is unique for each application. See [here](https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/guides/filesystem-layout) for more information of their filesystem layout.
For some reason in Go `usr.HomeDir` returns a different value than `$HOME` in Ubuntu Core.
Adding this at the end of `HomeDir()`
```go
fmt.Printf("at HomeDir, user.HomeDir = %s and $HOME is %s\n", usr.HomeDir, os.Getenv("HOME"))
```
gives the following output
```
at HomeDir, user.HomeDir = /home/ubuntu and $HOME is /home/ubuntu/apps/geth.sideload/IJcODREBYbHO
```
With this commit, I propose giving precedence to the `$HOME` environment variable as is also suggested by the [homedir](https://github.com/mitchellh/go-homedir/blob/master/homedir.go) project.
* xeth, rpc: implement eth_getNatSpec for tx confirmations
* rename silly docserver -> httpclient
* eth/backend: httpclient now accessible via eth.Ethereum init-d via config.DocRoot
* cmd: introduce separate CLI flag for DocRoot (defaults to homedir)
* common/path: delete unused assetpath func, separate HomeDir func
* lines with leading space are ommitted from history
* exit processed even with whitespace around
* all whitespace lines (not only empty ones) are ignored
add 7 missing commands to admin api autocomplete
registrar: methods now return proper error if reg addresses are not set. fixes#1457
rpc/console: fix personal.newAccount() regression. Now all comms accept interactive password
registrar: add registrar tests for errors
crypto: catch AES decryption error on presale wallet import + fix error msg format. fixes#1580
CLI: improve error message when starting a second instance of geth. fixes#1564
cli/accounts: unlock multiple accounts. fixes#1785
* make unlocking multiple accounts work with inline <() fd
* passwdfile now correctly read only once
* improve logs
* fix CLI help text for unlocking
fix regression with docRoot / admin API
* docRoot/jspath passed to rpc/api ParseApis, which passes onto adminApi
* docRoot field for JS console in order to pass when RPC is (re)started
* improve flag desc for jspath
common/docserver: catch http errors from response
fix rpc/api tests
common/natspec: fix end to end test (skipped because takes 8s)
registrar: fix major regression:
* deploy registrars on frontier
* register HashsReg and UrlHint in GlobalRegistrar.
* set all 3 contract addresses in code
* zero out addresses first in tests
Added a `Difference` method to `types.Transactions` which sets the
receiver to the difference of a to b (NOTE: not a **and** b).
Transaction pool subscribes to RemovedTransactionEvent adding back to
those potential missing from the chain.
When a chain re-org occurs remove any transactions that were removed
from the canonical chain during the re-org as well as the receipts that
were generated in the process.
Closes#1746
* adapt to new compiler versioning
* use compiler version as language version
* implement new solc API for versions >= 0.1.[2-9][0-9]* fixes#1770
* add optimize=1 to options
* backward compatibility (for now) for <= 0.1.1, and old versions (0.[2-9][0-9]*.[0-9]+)
* introduce compilerOptions to ContractInfo
* clean up flair, include full version string to version line and ContractInfo
