* common: remove CurrencyToString
Move denomination values to params instead.
* common: delete dead code
* common: move big integer operations to common/math
This commit consolidates all big integer operations into common/math and
adds tests and documentation.
There should be no change in semantics for BigPow, BigMin, BigMax, S256,
U256, Exp and their behaviour is now locked in by tests.
The BigD, BytesToBig and Bytes2Big functions don't provide additional
value, all uses are replaced by new(big.Int).SetBytes().
BigToBytes is now called PaddedBigBytes, its minimum output size
parameter is now specified as the number of bytes instead of bits. The
single use of this function is in the EVM's MSTORE instruction.
Big and String2Big are replaced by ParseBig, which is slightly stricter.
It previously accepted leading zeros for hexadecimal inputs but treated
decimal inputs as octal if a leading zero digit was present.
ParseUint64 is used in places where String2Big was used to decode a
uint64.
The new functions MustParseBig and MustParseUint64 are now used in many
places where parsing errors were previously ignored.
* common: delete unused big integer variables
* accounts/abi: replace uses of BytesToBig with use of encoding/binary
* common: remove BytesToBig
* common: remove Bytes2Big
* common: remove BigTrue
* cmd/utils: add BigFlag and use it for error-checked integer flags
While here, remove environment variable processing for DirectoryFlag
because we don't use it.
* core: add missing error checks in genesis block parser
* common: remove String2Big
* cmd/evm: use utils.BigFlag
* common/math: check for 256 bit overflow in ParseBig
This is supposed to prevent silent overflow/truncation of values in the
genesis block JSON. Without this check, a genesis block that set a
balance larger than 256 bits would lead to weird behaviour in the VM.
* cmd/utils: fixup import
Gas estimation currently mostly works, but can underestimate for more funky
refunds. This is because various ops (e.g. CALL) need more gas to run than they
actually consume (e.g. 2300 stipend that is refunded if not used). With more
intricate contract interplays, it becomes almost impossible to return a proper
value to the user.
This commit swaps out the simplistic gas estimation to a binary search approach,
honing in on the correct gas use. This does mean that gas estimation needs to
rerun the transaction log(max-price) times to measure whether it fails or not,
but it's a price paid by the transaction issuer, and it should be worth it to
support proper estimates.
On solidity contract I have "uint32 []" type, when abigen creates Go
bindings - they are also "[]uint32" type on Go side. Even though it
looks like it should work - the actual type of the data coming from
the chain is of type " []*big.Int".
When executing contract function from Go side - getting unmarshal error:
abi: cannot unmarshal []*big.Int in to []uint32
The fix is to create array with the correct type
This fixed the issue reported in: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/2802
This significantly reduces the dependency closure of ethclient, which no
longer depends on core/vm as of this change.
All uses of vm.Logs are replaced by []*types.Log. NewLog is gone too,
the constructor simply returned a literal.
The run loop, which previously contained custom opcode executes have been
removed and has been simplified to a few checks.
Each operation consists of 4 elements: execution function, gas cost function,
stack validation function and memory size function. The execution function
implements the operation's runtime behaviour, the gas cost function implements
the operation gas costs function and greatly depends on the memory and stack,
the stack validation function validates the stack and makes sure that enough
items can be popped off and pushed on and the memory size function calculates
the memory required for the operation and returns it.
This commit also allows the EVM to go unmetered. This is helpful for offline
operations such as contract calls.
To address increasing complexity in code that handles signatures, this PR
discards all notion of "different" signature types at the library level. Both
the crypto and accounts package is reduced to only be able to produce plain
canonical secp256k1 signatures. This makes the crpyto APIs much cleaner,
simpler and harder to abuse.
Environment is now a struct (not an interface). This
reduces a lot of tech-debt throughout the codebase where a virtual
machine environment had to be implemented in order to test or run it.
The new environment is suitable to be used en the json tests, core
consensus and light client.
This commit implements EIP158 part 1, 2, 3 & 4
1. If an account is empty it's no longer written to the trie. An empty
account is defined as (balance=0, nonce=0, storage=0, code=0).
2. Delete an empty account if it's touched
3. An empty account is redefined as either non-existent or empty.
4. Zero value calls and zero value suicides no longer consume the 25k
reation costs.
params: moved core/config to params

This commit includes several API changes:
- The behavior of eth_sign is changed. It now accepts an arbitrary
message, prepends the well-known string
\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n<length of message>
hashes the result using keccak256 and calculates the signature of
the hash. This breaks backwards compatability!
- personal_sign(hash, address [, password]) is added. It has the same
semantics as eth_sign but also accepts a password. The private key
used to sign the hash is temporarily unlocked in the scope of the
request.
- personal_recover(message, signature) is added and returns the
address for the account that created a signature.
This commit replaces the deep-copy based state revert mechanism with a
linear complexity journal. This commit also hides several internal
StateDB methods to limit the number of ways in which calling code can
use the journal incorrectly.
As usual consultation and bug fixes to the initial implementation were
provided by @karalabe, @obscuren and @Arachnid. Thank you!
The need for these functions comes up in code that actually deploys and
uses contracts. As of this commit, they can be used with both
SimulatedBackend and ethclient.
SimulatedBackend gains some additional methods in the process and is now
safe for concurrent use.
In this commit, contract bindings and their backend start using the
Ethereum Go API interfaces offered by ethclient. This makes ethclient a
suitable replacement for the old remote backend and gets us one step
closer to the final stable Go API that is planned for go-ethereum 1.5.
The changes in detail:
* Pending state is optional for read only contract bindings.
BoundContract attempts to discover the Pending* methods via an
interface assertion. There are a couple of advantages to this:
ContractCaller is just two methods and can be implemented on top of
pretty much anything that provides Ethereum data. Since the backend
interfaces are now disjoint, ContractBackend can simply be declared as
a union of the reader and writer side.
* Caching of HasCode is removed. The caching could go wrong in case of
chain reorganisations and removing it simplifies the code a lot.
We'll figure out a performant way of providing ErrNoCode before the
1.5 release.
* BoundContract now ensures that the backend receives a non-nil context
with every call.
The remote backend is superseded by ethclient.
The nil backend's stated purpose was to enable testing of
accounts/abi/bind. None of its methods actually worked. A much simpler
way to get a crashing backend is to simply pass nil as the backend. With
a one-line change to the generator (removing two explicit interface
assertions), passing nil actually works.
Removing these backends means that less changes are required later.
When converting a negative number e.g., -2, the resulting ABI encoding
should look as follows:
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe.
However, since the check of the type is for an uint instead of an
int, it results in the following ABI encoding:
0101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010102. The
Ethereum ABI
(https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI) says,
that signed integers are stored in two's complement which should be
of the form ffffff.... and not 01010101..... for e.g. -1. Thus, I
removed the type check in numbers.go as well as the function S256
as I don't think they are correct. Or maybe I'm missing something?
Previously it was assumed that wheneven type `[]interface{}` was given
that the interface was empty. The abigen rightfully assumed that
interface slices which already have pre-allocated variable sets to be
assigned.
This PR fixes that by checking that the given `[]interface{}` is larger
than zero and assigns each value using the generic `set` function (this
function has also been moved to abi/reflect.go) and checks whether the
assignment was possible.
The generic assignment function `set` now also deals with pointers
(useful for interface slice mentioned above) by dereferencing the
pointer until it finds a setable type.
Refactored the abi package parsing and type handling. Relying mostly on
package reflect as opposed to most of our own type reflection. Our own
type reflection is still used however for cases such as Bytes and
FixedBytes (abi: bytes•).
This also inclused several fixes for slice handling of arbitrary and
fixed size for all supported types.
This also further removes implicit type casting such as assigning,
for example `[2]T{} = []T{1}` will fail, however `[2]T{} == []T{1, 2}`
(notice assigning *slice* to fixed size *array*). Assigning arrays to
slices will always succeed if they are of the same element type.
Incidentally also fixes#2379
The account management API was originally implemented as a thin layer
around crypto.KeyStore, on the grounds that several kinds of key stores
would be implemented later on. It turns out that this won't happen so
KeyStore is a superflous abstraction.
In this commit crypto.KeyStore and everything related to it moves to
package accounts and is unexported.
The chain maker and the simulated backend now run with a homestead phase
beginning at block 0 (i.e. there's no frontier).
This commit also fixes up #2388
Added chain configuration options and write out during genesis database
insertion. If no "config" was found, nothing is written to the database.
Configurations are written on a per genesis base. This means
that any chain (which is identified by it's genesis hash) can have their
own chain settings.
Fixed up `[]byte` slice support such that `function print(bytes input)`
accepts `[]byte` as input and treats it as 1 element rather than a slice
of multiple elements.
Added support for variable length input parameters like `bytes` and
`strings`.
Removed old unmarshalling of return types: `abi.Call(...).([]byte)`.
This is now replaced by a new syntax:
```
var a []byte
err := abi.Call(&a, ...)
```
It also addresses a few issues with Bytes and Strings and can also
handle both fixed and arbitrary sized byte slices, including strings.
