This commit is the culmination of several months of work to decouple Solidity from the webthree-umbrella so that it can be developed in parallel with cpp-ethereum (the Ethereum C++ runtime) and so that even for the Solidity unit-tests there is no hard-dependency onto the C++ runtime.
The Tests-over-IPC refactoring was a major step in the same process which was already committed.
This commit contains the following changes:
- A subset of the CMake functionality in webthree-helpers was extracted and tailored for Solidity into ./cmake. Further cleanup is certainly possible.
- A subset of the libdevcore functionality in libweb3core was extracted and tailored for Solidity into ./libdevcore. Further cleanup is certainly possible
- The gas price constants in EVMSchedule were orphaned into libevmasm.
- Some other refactorings and cleanups were made to sever unnecessary EVM dependencies in the Solidity unit-tests.
- TravisCI and Appveyor support was added, covering builds and running of the unit-tests (Linux and macOS only for now)
- A bug-fix was made to get the Tests-over-IPC running on macOS.
- There are still reliability issues in the unit-tests, which need immediate attention. The Travis build has been flipped to run the unit-tests 5 times, to try to flush these out.
- The Emscripten automation which was previously in webthree-umbrella was merged into the TravisCI automation here.
- The development ZIP deployment step has been commented out, but we will want to read that ONLY for release branch.
Further iteration on these changes will definitely be needed, but I feel these have got to sufficient maturity than holding them back further isn't winning us anything. It is go time :-)
quick fix on christian's rational
change so that ubuntu will stop yelling
be more specific with rational declaration for Windows sake
rational in namespace correction for windows
think we're good on solidity type name resolution now
removed couts
updates to documentation and more removed couts along with literal value implementation
forgot semicolons
notation
Rational implemented...trying to figure out exponential
fix for token bug, also quick fix for the wei and seconds
fixed problem with var...probably a conversion problem for fixed in size capabilities
adding fixed type tests
Removing bitshift and regrouping fixed type tests together
size capabilities functioning properly for fixed types
got exponents up and working with their inverse, changed a few of the tests....something is working that likely shouldn't be
slight changes to how to flip the rational negative around...still trying to figure it out
tests added
updated tests
odd differences in trying soltest from solc binary, let me know if you can replicate
test not working for odd reason
fixed test problem with fixed literals...still need a way to log this error
broken up the tests, added some, changed some things in types and began compiler work
moar tests and prepping for rebuilding much of the types.cpp file
further fixing
initial work for fixed types...potentially needing a constant literal type for this
Internal functions of libraries can be called as if the library were a
base contract of the calling contract. As the calling convention for
internal functions is to not create a new call context, the code of
these functions will be pulled into the context of the caller,
duplicating their code. This might pull in code of further internal or
even private functions.
The use case for such functions is to allow libraries which can operate
on memory types such that these types can also be modified in place.
