//! The `BeaconProposer` cache stores the proposer indices for some epoch. //! //! This cache is keyed by `(epoch, block_root)` where `block_root` is the block root at //! `end_slot(epoch - 1)`. We make the assertion that the proposer shuffling is identical for all //! blocks in `epoch` which share the common ancestor of `block_root`. //! //! The cache is a fairly unintelligent LRU cache that is not pruned after finality. This makes it //! very simple to reason about, but it might store values that are useless due to finalization. The //! values it stores are very small, so this should not be an issue. use crate::{BeaconChain, BeaconChainError, BeaconChainTypes}; use lru::LruCache; use smallvec::SmallVec; use state_processing::state_advance::partial_state_advance; use std::cmp::Ordering; use types::{ BeaconState, BeaconStateError, ChainSpec, Epoch, EthSpec, Fork, Hash256, Slot, Unsigned, }; /// The number of sets of proposer indices that should be cached. const CACHE_SIZE: usize = 16; /// This value is fairly unimportant, it's used to avoid heap allocations.
