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.
* 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
Dev mode enabled some debugging flags such as:
* VM debugging mode
* Simpler proof of work
* Whisper enabled by default
* Datadir to a tmp datadir
* Maxpeers set to 0
* Gas price of 0
* Random listen port
* 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
* multiple passwords allowed in password file
* split on "\n", sideeffect: chop trailing slashes. fixes common mistake <(echo 'pass')
* remove accounts.Primary method
* do not fall back to primary account for mining
You can set the nonce of the block with `--genesisnonce`. When the
genesis nonce changes and it doesn't match with the first block in your
database it will fail. A new `datadir` must be given if the nonce of the
genesis block changes.
- backend: AutoDAG bool flag passed from cli/eth.Config to ethereum, autoDAG loop started if true
- backend: autoDAG loop start/stop, remove previous DAG
- cli: AutoDAG bool flag, off by default, but automatically ON if mining
- admin jsre: add startAutoDAG stopAutoDAG and makeDAG in miner section
- switch on/off DAG autogeneration when miner started/stopped on console
ChainManager now uses a parallel approach to block processing where all
nonces are checked seperatly from the block processing process. This
speeds up the process by about 3 times on my i7
* common/compiler: solidity compiler + tests
* rpc: eth_compilers, eth_compileSolidity + tests
* fix natspec test using keystore API, notice exp dynamically changes addr, cleanup
* resolver implements registrars and needs to create reg contract (temp)
* xeth: solidity compiler. expose getter Solc() and paths setter SetSolc(solcPath)
* ethereumApi: implement compiler related RPC calls using XEth - json struct tests
* admin: make use of XEth.SetSolc to allow runtime setting of compiler paths
* cli: command line flags solc to set custom solc bin path
* js admin api with new features debug and contractInfo modules
* wiki is the doc https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Contracts-and-Transactions
