Using the Commandline Compiler
|
|
******************************
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This section does not apply to :ref:`solcjs <solcjs>`, not even if it is used in commandline mode.
|
|
|
|
One of the build targets of the Solidity repository is ``solc``, the solidity commandline compiler.
|
|
Using ``solc --help`` provides you with an explanation of all options. The compiler can produce various outputs, ranging from simple binaries and assembly over an abstract syntax tree (parse tree) to estimations of gas usage.
|
|
If you only want to compile a single file, you run it as ``solc --bin sourceFile.sol`` and it will print the binary. If you want to get some of the more advanced output variants of ``solc``, it is probably better to tell it to output everything to separate files using ``solc -o outputDirectory --bin --ast-json --asm sourceFile.sol``.
|
|
|
|
Before you deploy your contract, activate the optimizer when compiling using ``solc --optimize --bin sourceFile.sol``.
|
|
By default, the optimizer will optimize the contract assuming it is called 200 times across its lifetime
|
|
(more specifically, it assumes each opcode is executed around 200 times).
|
|
If you want the initial contract deployment to be cheaper and the later function executions to be more expensive,
|
|
set it to ``--optimize-runs=1``. If you expect many transactions and do not care for higher deployment cost and
|
|
output size, set ``--optimize-runs`` to a high number.
|
|
This parameter has effects on the following (this might change in the future):
|
|
|
|
- the size of the binary search in the function dispatch routine
|
|
- the way constants like large numbers or strings are stored
|
|
|
|
The commandline compiler will automatically read imported files from the filesystem, but
|
|
it is also possible to provide path redirects using ``prefix=path`` in the following way:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
solc github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/=/usr/local/lib/dapp-bin/ file.sol
|
|
|
|
This essentially instructs the compiler to search for anything starting with
|
|
``github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/`` under ``/usr/local/lib/dapp-bin``.
|
|
``solc`` will not read files from the filesystem that lie outside of
|
|
the remapping targets and outside of the directories where explicitly specified source
|
|
files reside, so things like ``import "/etc/passwd";`` only work if you add ``/=/`` as a remapping.
|
|
|
|
An empty remapping prefix is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
If there are multiple matches due to remappings, the one with the longest common prefix is selected.
|
|
|
|
When accessing the filesystem to search for imports, all paths are treated as if they were fully qualified paths.
|
|
This behaviour can be customized by adding the command line option ``--base-path`` with a path to be prepended
|
|
before each filesystem access for imports is performed. Furthermore, the part added via ``--base-path``
|
|
will not appear in the contract metadata.
|
|
|
|
For security reasons the compiler has restrictions what directories it can access. Paths (and their subdirectories) of source files specified on the commandline and paths defined by remappings are allowed for import statements, but everything else is rejected. Additional paths (and their subdirectories) can be allowed via the ``--allow-paths /sample/path,/another/sample/path`` switch.
|
|
|
|
Everything inside the path specified via ``--base-path`` is always allowed.
|
|
|
|
If your contracts use :ref:`libraries <libraries>`, you will notice that the bytecode contains substrings of the form ``__$53aea86b7d70b31448b230b20ae141a537$__``. These are placeholders for the actual library addresses.
|
|
The placeholder is a 34 character prefix of the hex encoding of the keccak256 hash of the fully qualified library name.
|
|
The bytecode file will also contain lines of the form ``// <placeholder> -> <fq library name>`` at the end to help
|
|
identify which libraries the placeholders represent. Note that the fully qualified library name
|
|
is the path of its source file and the library name separated by ``:``.
|
|
You can use ``solc`` as a linker meaning that it will insert the library addresses for you at those points:
|
|
|
|
Either add ``--libraries "file.sol:Math:0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 file.sol:Heap:0xabCD567890123456789012345678901234567890"`` to your command to provide an address for each library or store the string in a file (one library per line) and run ``solc`` using ``--libraries fileName``.
|
|
|
|
If ``solc`` is called with the option ``--link``, all input files are interpreted to be unlinked binaries (hex-encoded) in the ``__$53aea86b7d70b31448b230b20ae141a537$__``-format given above and are linked in-place (if the input is read from stdin, it is written to stdout). All options except ``--libraries`` are ignored (including ``-o``) in this case.
|
|
|
|
If ``solc`` is called with the option ``--standard-json``, it will expect a JSON input (as explained below) on the standard input, and return a JSON output on the standard output. This is the recommended interface for more complex and especially automated uses. The process will always terminate in a "success" state and report any errors via the JSON output.
|
|
The option ``--base-path`` is also processed in standard-json mode.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The library placeholder used to be the fully qualified name of the library itself
|
|
instead of the hash of it. This format is still supported by ``solc --link`` but
|
|
the compiler will no longer output it. This change was made to reduce
|
|
the likelihood of a collision between libraries, since only the first 36 characters
|
|
of the fully qualified library name could be used.

.. _evm-version:
|
|
.. index:: ! EVM version, compile target
|
|
|
|
Setting the EVM version to target
|
|
*********************************
|
|
|
|
When you compile your contract code you can specify the Ethereum virtual machine
|
|
version to compile for to avoid particular features or behaviours.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Compiling for the wrong EVM version can result in wrong, strange and failing
|
|
behaviour. Please ensure, especially if running a private chain, that you
|
|
use matching EVM versions.
|
|
|
|
On the command line, you can select the EVM version as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
solc --evm-version <VERSION> contract.sol
|
|
|
|
In the :ref:`standard JSON interface <compiler-api>`, use the ``"evmVersion"``
|
|
key in the ``"settings"`` field:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"sources": { ... },
|
|
"settings": {
|
|
"optimizer": { ... },
|
|
"evmVersion": "<VERSION>"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Target options
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Below is a list of target EVM versions and the compiler-relevant changes introduced
|
|
at each version. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed between each version.
|
|
|
|
- ``homestead``
|
|
- (oldest version)
|
|
- ``tangerineWhistle``
|
|
- Gas cost for access to other accounts increased, relevant for gas estimation and the optimizer.
|
|
- All gas sent by default for external calls, previously a certain amount had to be retained.
|
|
- ``spuriousDragon``
|
|
- Gas cost for the ``exp`` opcode increased, relevant for gas estimation and the optimizer.
|
|
- ``byzantium``
|
|
- Opcodes ``returndatacopy``, ``returndatasize`` and ``staticcall`` are available in assembly.
|
|
- The ``staticcall`` opcode is used when calling non-library view or pure functions, which prevents the functions from modifying state at the EVM level, i.e., even applies when you use invalid type conversions.
|
|
- It is possible to access dynamic data returned from function calls.
|
|
- ``revert`` opcode introduced, which means that ``revert()`` will not waste gas.
|
|
- ``constantinople``
|
|
- Opcodes ``create2`, ``extcodehash``, ``shl``, ``shr`` and ``sar`` are available in assembly.
|
|
- Shifting operators use shifting opcodes and thus need less gas.
|
|
- ``petersburg``
|
|
- The compiler behaves the same way as with constantinople.
|
|
- ``istanbul`` (**default**)
|
|
- Opcodes ``chainid`` and ``selfbalance`` are available in assembly.
|
|
- ``berlin`` (**experimental**)

Compiler Input and Output JSON Description
|
|
******************************************
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to interface with the Solidity compiler especially for
|
|
more complex and automated setups is the so-called JSON-input-output interface.
|
|
The same interface is provided by all distributions of the compiler.
|
|
|
|
The fields are generally subject to change,
|
|
some are optional (as noted), but we try to only make backwards compatible changes.
|
|
|
|
The compiler API expects a JSON formatted input and outputs the compilation result in a JSON formatted output.
|
|
The standard error output is not used and the process will always terminate in a "success" state, even
|
|
if there were errors. Errors are always reported as part of the JSON output.
|
|
|
|
The following subsections describe the format through an example.
|
|
Comments are of course not permitted and used here only for explanatory purposes.

solidity-upgrade
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
``solidity-upgrade`` can help you to semi-automatically upgrade your contracts
|
|
to breaking language changes. While it does not and cannot implement all
|
|
required changes for every breaking release, it still supports the ones, that
|
|
would need plenty of repetitive manual adjustments otherwise.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
``solidity-upgrade`` carries out a large part of the work, but your
|
|
contracts will most likely need further manual adjustments. We recommend
|
|
using a version control system for your files. This helps reviewing and
|
|
eventually rolling back the changes made.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
``solidity-upgrade`` is not considered to be complete or free from bugs, so
|
|
please use with care.
|
|
|
|
How it works
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can pass (a) Solidity source file(s) to ``solidity-upgrade [files]``. If
|
|
these make use of ``import`` statement which refer to files outside the
|
|
current source file's directory, you need to specify directories that
|
|
are allowed to read and import files from, by passing
|
|
``--allow-paths [directory]``. You can ignore missing files by passing
|
|
``--ignore-missing``.
|
|
|
|
``solidity-upgrade`` is based on ``libsolidity`` and can parse, compile and
|
|
analyse your source files, and might find applicable source upgrades in them.
|
|
|
|
Source upgrades are considered to be small textual changes to your source code.
|
|
They are applied to an in-memory representation of the source files
|
|
given. The corresponding source file is updated by default, but you can pass
|
|
``--dry-run`` to simulate to whole upgrade process without writing to any file.
|
|
|
|
The upgrade process itself has two phases. In the first phase source files are
|
|
parsed, and since it is not possible to upgrade source code on that level,
|
|
errors are collected and can be logged by passing ``--verbose``. No source
|
|
upgrades available at this point.
|
|
|
|
In the second phase, all sources are compiled and all activated upgrade analysis
|
|
modules are run alongside compilation. By default, all available modules are
|
|
activated. Please read the documentation on
|
|
:ref:`available modules <upgrade-modules>` for further details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can result in compilation errors that may
|
|
be fixed by source upgrades. If no errors occur, no source upgrades are being
|
|
reported and you're done.
|
|
If errors occur and some upgrade module reported a source upgrade, the first
|
|
reported one gets applied and compilation is triggered again for all given
|
|
source files. The previous step is repeated as long as source upgrades are
|
|
reported. If errors still occur, you can log them by passing ``--verbose``.
|
|
If no errors occur, your contracts are up to date and can be compiled with
|
|
the latest version of the compiler.

Example
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Assume that you have the following contract in ``Source.sol``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: Solidity
|
|
|
|
pragma solidity >=0.6.0 <0.6.4;
|
|
// This will not compile after 0.7.0
|
|
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
|
|
contract C {
|
|
// FIXME: remove constructor visibility and make the contract abstract
|
|
constructor() internal {}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
contract D {
|
|
uint time;
|
|
|
|
function f() public payable {
|
|
// FIXME: change now to block.timestamp
|
|
time = now;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
contract E {
|
|
D d;
|
|
|
|
// FIXME: remove constructor visibility
|
|
constructor() public {}
|
|
|
|
function g() public {
|
|
// FIXME: change .value(5) => {value: 5}
|
|
d.f.value(5)();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required changes
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The above contract will not compile starting from 0.7.0. To bring the contract up to date with the
|
|
current Solidity version, the following upgrade modules have to be executed:
|
|
``constructor-visibility``, ``now`` and ``dotsyntax``. Please read the documentation on
|
|
:ref:`available modules <upgrade-modules>` for further details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the upgrade
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to explicitly specify the upgrade modules by using ``--modules`` argument.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ solidity-upgrade --modules constructor-visibility,now,dotsyntax Source.sol
|
|
|
|
The command above applies all changes as shown below. Please review them carefully (the pragmas will
|
|
have to be updated manually.)
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: Solidity
|
|
|
|
pragma solidity ^0.7.0;
|
|
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
|
|
abstract contract C {
|
|
// FIXME: remove constructor visibility and make the contract abstract
|
|
constructor() {}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
contract D {
|
|
uint time;
|
|
|
|
function f() public payable {
|
|
// FIXME: change now to block.timestamp
|
|
time = block.timestamp;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
contract E {
|
|
D d;
|
|
|
|
// FIXME: remove constructor visibility
|
|
constructor() {}
|
|
|
|
function g() public {
|
|
// FIXME: change .value(5) => {value: 5}
|
|
d.f{value: 5}();
|
|
}
|
|
}
