Byte padding function should return the given slice if the length is
smaller or equal rather than *only* smaller than.
This fix improves almost all EVM push operations.
More context in the bug This solves the problems of transactions being
submitted simultaneously, and getting the same nonce, due to the gap (due to
signing) between nonce-issuance and nonce-update. With this PR, a lock will
need to be acquired whenever a nonce is used, and released when the transaction
is submitted or errors out.
This commit is a preparation for the upcoming metropolis hardfork. It
prepares the state, core and vm packages such that integration with
metropolis becomes less of a hassle.
* Difficulty calculation requires header instead of individual
parameters
* statedb.StartRecord renamed to statedb.Prepare and added Finalise
method required by metropolis, which removes unwanted accounts from
the state (i.e. selfdestruct)
* State keeps record of destructed objects (in addition to dirty
objects)
* core/vm pre-compiles may now return errors
* core/vm pre-compiles gas check now take the full byte slice as argument
instead of just the size
* core/vm now keeps several hard-fork instruction tables instead of a
single instruction table and removes the need for hard-fork checks in
the instructions
* core/vm contains a empty restruction function which is added in
preparation of metropolis write-only mode operations
* Adds the bn256 curve
* Adds and sets the metropolis chain config block parameters (2^64-1)
execQueue used an atomic counter to track whether the queue had been
closed, but the checking the counter didn't happen because the queue was
blocked on its channel.
Fix it by using a condition variable instead of sync/atomic. I tried an
implementation based on channels first, but it was hard to make it
reliable.
quit now waits for the queue loop to exit.
Previously, resolve errors were being swallowed and the returned error
was a generic "not a content hash" which isn't helpful.
This updates the Resolve function to fail fast rather than only
returning an error at the end, and also adds test coverage.
CentOS has been added as a multi-machine option to the Vagrant script.
Ubuntu is still the default option. For starting the CentOS machine, use:
vagrant up centos
