Previously freezer has only been used for storing ancient chain data, while obviously it can be used more. This PR unties the chain data and freezer, keep the minimal freezer structure and move all other logic (like incrementally freezing block data) into a separate structure called ChainFreezer.
This PR also extends the database interface by adding a new ancient store function AncientDatadir which can return the root directory of ancient store. The ancient root directory can be used when we want to open some other ancient-stores (e.g. reverse diff freezer).
During mining, when a new head arrives and interrupts the block building, the block being built should not be commited (but discarded). Committing the interrupted block introduces unnecessary delay, and possibly causes miner to mine on the previous head, which could result in higher uncle rate.
* core: recover the state in SetChainHead if the head state is missing
* core: disable test logging
* core: address comment from martin
* core: improve log level in case state is recovered
* core, eth, les, light: rename SetChainHead to SetCanonical
This PR improves the docker build speed for repeated builds where go.mod and go.sum do no change, by placing the downloaded dependencies in a lower layer
This PR groups all built-in network flags together and list them in the command as a whole.
And all database path flags(datadir, ancient) are also grouped, since usually these two are
used together.
This adds the ability to run --state.fork=Merged, and have post-merge rules apply. When doing so, it also requires the input env to contain currentRandom, and enforces the currentDifficulty to be omitted or zero.
This PR fixes up the example python clef wrapper. The poc is intended to demonstrate how to wite a UI for clef, and had severely bitrotted.
With these changes, it "works" in the sense that all the built-in tests triggers the intended python callbacks (no errors about method not found). It does not "work" in the sense that the wrapper can be used as an actual UI. It will auto-reject any signing requests, for example.
This PR fixes the flaw that @rjl493456442 found in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/#issuecomment-1093817551 , namely, that the snapshot iterator uses the combined (disk + difflayers) 'view', wheres the raw iterator uses only the disk 'view'.
This PR instead splits up the work: one phase is iterating the disk layer data, another phase is loading the journalled difflayers and performing the same check there.
This change removes extraneous/unnecessary checks for equality
when comparing 2 accessList values A and B. Given that we validate that
their lengths of A and B are equal, if so and if every element in A is
in B, reflexively every element in B is already in A. If that weren't
the case and an element g existed in A but not in B, that would mean
that there is an extra element and hence a mathematical contradiction.
Fixes#24658
