Interpreter initialization is left to the PRs implementing them.
Options for external interpreters are passed after a colon in the
`--vm.ewasm` and `--vm.evm` switches.
* build: add support for different package and binary names
* build: bump up copyright date
* build: change default PackageName to empty string
* build, internal, swarm: enhance build/release process
* build: hack ethereum-swarm as a "depends" in deb package
* build/ci: remove redundant variables
* build, cmd, mobile, params, swarm: remove VERSION file; rename Version to VersionMeta;
* internal: remove VERSION() method which reads VERSION file
* build: fix VersionFilePath to Version
* Makefile: remove clean_go_build_cache.sh until it works
* Makefile: revert removal of clean_go_build_cache.sh
This commit affects p2p/discv5 "topic discovery" by running it on
the same UDP port where the old discovery works. This is realized
by giving an "unhandled" packet channel to the old v4 discovery
packet handler where all invalid packets are sent. These packets
are then processed by v5. v5 packets are always invalid when
interpreted by v4 and vice versa. This is ensured by adding one
to the first byte of the packet hash in v5 packets.
DiscoveryV5Bootnodes is also changed to point to new bootnodes
that are implementing the changed packet format with modified
hash. Existing and new v5 bootnodes are both running on different
ports ATM.
* cmd, consensus, core, miner: instatx clique for --dev
* cmd, consensus, clique: support configurable --dev block times
* cmd, core: allow --dev to use persistent storage too
* params: Updated finalized gascosts for ECMUL/MODEXP
* core,tests: Updates pending new tests
* tests: Updated with new tests
* core: revert state transition bugfix
* tests: Add expected failures due to #15119
This commit is a preparation for the upcoming metropolis hardfork. It
prepares the state, core and vm packages such that integration with
metropolis becomes less of a hassle.
* Difficulty calculation requires header instead of individual
parameters
* statedb.StartRecord renamed to statedb.Prepare and added Finalise
method required by metropolis, which removes unwanted accounts from
the state (i.e. selfdestruct)
* State keeps record of destructed objects (in addition to dirty
objects)
* core/vm pre-compiles may now return errors
* core/vm pre-compiles gas check now take the full byte slice as argument
instead of just the size
* core/vm now keeps several hard-fork instruction tables instead of a
single instruction table and removes the need for hard-fork checks in
the instructions
* core/vm contains a empty restruction function which is added in
preparation of metropolis write-only mode operations
* Adds the bn256 curve
* Adds and sets the metropolis chain config block parameters (2^64-1)
* p2p/discover, p2p/discv5: add marshaling methods to Node
* p2p/netutil: make Netlist decodable from TOML
* common/math: encode nil HexOrDecimal256 as 0x0
* cmd/geth: add --config file flag
* cmd/geth: add missing license header
* eth: prettify Config again, fix tests
* eth: use gasprice.Config instead of duplicating its fields
* eth/gasprice: hide nil default from dumpconfig output
* cmd/geth: hide genesis block in dumpconfig output
* node: make tests compile
* console: fix tests
* cmd/geth: make TOML keys look exactly like Go struct fields
* p2p: use discovery by default
This makes the zero Config slightly more useful. It also fixes package
node tests because Node detects reuse of the datadir through the
NodeDatabase.
* cmd/geth: make ethstats URL settable through config file
* cmd/faucet: fix configuration
* cmd/geth: dedup attach tests
* eth: add comment for DefaultConfig
* eth: pass downloader.SyncMode in Config
This removes the FastSync, LightSync flags in favour of a more
general SyncMode flag.
* cmd/utils: remove jitvm flags
* cmd/utils: make mutually exclusive flag error prettier
It now reads:
Fatal: flags --dev, --testnet can't be used at the same time
* p2p: fix typo
* node: add DefaultConfig, use it for geth
* mobile: add missing NoDiscovery option
* cmd/utils: drop MakeNode
This exposed a couple of places that needed to be updated to use
node.DefaultConfig.
* node: fix typo
* eth: make fast sync the default mode
* cmd/utils: remove IPCApiFlag (unused)
* node: remove default IPC path
Set it in the frontends instead.
* cmd/geth: add --syncmode
* cmd/utils: make --ipcdisable and --ipcpath mutually exclusive
* cmd/utils: don't enable WS, HTTP when setting addr
* cmd/utils: fix --identity
This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:
* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.
The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.
