The Go authors updated golang/x/ext to change the function signature of the slices sort method.
It's an entire shitshow now because x/ext is not tagged, so everyone's codebase just
picked a new version that some other dep depends on, causing our code to fail building.
This PR updates the dep on our code too and does all the refactorings to follow upstream...
It seems there is no fully typed library implementation of an LRU cache.
So I wrote one. Method names are the same as github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru,
and the new type can be used as a drop-in replacement.
Two reasons to do this:
- It's much easier to understand what a cache is for when the types are right there.
- Performance: the new implementation is slightly faster and performs zero memory
allocations in Add when the cache is at capacity. Overall, memory usage of the cache
is much reduced because keys are values are no longer wrapped in interface.
This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
This PR adds the `NextBaseFeePerGas` to `Block` and `EffectiveTip` to `Transaction` to make it easier for clients to compute fee history themselves via graphql queries.
* internal/ethapi/api: use hexutil.uint for blockCount parameter instead of int for feeHistory
* return hex value for oldestBlock instead of number
* return uint64 from oracle.resolveBlockRange
* eth/gasprice: fixed test
