* Removed some strange code that didn't apply state reverting properly
* Refactored code setting from vm & state transition to the executioner
* Updated tests
Pending logs are now filterable through the Go API. Filter API changed
such that each filter type has it's own bucket and adding filter
explicitly requires you specify the bucket to put it in.
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).
There are a bunch of changes required to make this work:
- in miner: allow unregistering agents, fix RemoteAgent.Stop
- in eth/filters: make FilterSystem.Stop not crash
- in rpc/comms: move listen loop to platform-independent code
Fixes#1930. I ran the shell loop there for a few minutes and didn't see
any changes in the memory profile.
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.
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`.
Work is now handled and carried over multiple sessions. Previously one
session only was assumed, potentially resulting in invalid (outdated)
work
* Larger work / result queue
* Full validation option
* Update => SyncIntermediate
* Added SyncObjects
SyncIntermediate only updates whatever has changed, but, as a side
effect, requires much more disk space.
SyncObjects will only sync whatever is required for a block and will not
save intermediate state to disk. As drawback this requires more time
when more txs come in.
* Miners do now verify their own header, not their state.
* Changed old putTx and putReceipts to be exported
* Moved writing of transactions and receipts out of the block processer
in to the chain manager. Closes#1386
* Miner post ChainHeadEvent & ChainEvent. Closes#1388
This fixes an issue with the lru cache not being available when calling
WriteBlock. WriteBlock previously always assumed to be called from the
InsertChain where the lru cache was always created prior to calling
WriteBlock. When being called from the worker this could lead in to a
nil pointer exception being thrown and causing database corruption.
Removed the managed tx state from the chain manager to the transaction
pool where it's much easier to keep track of nonces (and manage them).
The transaction pool now also uses the queue and pending txs differently
where queued txs are now moved over to the pending queue (i.e. txs ready
for processing and propagation).
* Miner should no longer generate blocks with a time stamp less or equal
than it's parent.
* Future blocks are no longer processed and queued directly.
Closes#1118
if you track stale blocks, then you quickly overflow your ring buffer in the local network case where you're mining every block and generating a lot of stales.
This helps determine which blocks are unlikely to end up as uncles
* Store the 5 most recent locally mined block numbers
* On every imported block, check if the 5-deep block num is in that store
* Also confirm that the block is signed with miner's coinbase
Why not just check the coinbase? This log is useful if you're running
multiple miners and want to know if *this* miner is performing well.
* core: Added GasPriceChange event
* eth: When one of the DB flush methods error a fatal error log message
is given. Hopefully this will prevent corrupted databases from
occuring.
* miner: remove transactions with low gas price. Closes#906, #903
* Changed CalcGasLimit to no longer need current block
* Added a gas * price + value on tx validation
* Transactions in the pool are now re-validated once every X
When worker encounters a gas limit error, subsequent txs should be
ignored from that particular account. This will prevent:
1. Nonce errors been thrown all around
2. The "Known tx" error. Closes#719
3. Repeated contract address. Closes#731
The transaction pool will now some easily be able to pre determine the
validity of a transaction by checking the following:
* Account existst
* gas limit higher than the instrinsic gas
* enough funds to pay upfront costs
* nonce check
Logs are now recorded per transactions instead of tossing them out after
each transaction. This should also fix an issue with
`eth_getFilterLogs` (#629) Also now implemented are the `transactionHash,
blockHash, transactionIndex, logIndex` on logs. Closes#654.
