The debug package provides an RPC wrapper for glog settings and the
debugging facilities of the Go runtime. They can be triggered through
both command line flags and the IPC listener.
This removes the burden on a single object to take care of all
validation and state processing. Now instead the validation is done by
the `core.BlockValidator` (`types.Validator`) that takes care of both
header and uncle validation through the `ValidateBlock` method and state
validation through the `ValidateState` method. The state processing is
done by a new object `core.StateProcessor` (`types.Processor`) and
accepts a new state as input and uses that to process the given block's
transactions (and uncles for rewords) to calculate the state root for
the next block (P_n + 1).
SignTransaction creates a transaction but does submit it to the
network. SignTransaction returns a structure which includes the
transaction object details as well as the RLP encoded transaction that
could possibly be submitted by the SendRawTransaction method.
There are a bunch of changes required to make this work:
- in miner: allow unregistering agents, fix RemoteAgent.Stop
- in eth/filters: make FilterSystem.Stop not crash
- in rpc/comms: move listen loop to platform-independent code
Fixes#1930. I ran the shell loop there for a few minutes and didn't see
any changes in the memory profile.
* xeth, rpc: implement eth_getNatSpec for tx confirmations
* rename silly docserver -> httpclient
* eth/backend: httpclient now accessible via eth.Ethereum init-d via config.DocRoot
* cmd: introduce separate CLI flag for DocRoot (defaults to homedir)
* common/path: delete unused assetpath func, separate HomeDir func
* lines with leading space are ommitted from history
* exit processed even with whitespace around
* all whitespace lines (not only empty ones) are ignored
add 7 missing commands to admin api autocomplete
registrar: methods now return proper error if reg addresses are not set. fixes#1457
rpc/console: fix personal.newAccount() regression. Now all comms accept interactive password
registrar: add registrar tests for errors
crypto: catch AES decryption error on presale wallet import + fix error msg format. fixes#1580
CLI: improve error message when starting a second instance of geth. fixes#1564
cli/accounts: unlock multiple accounts. fixes#1785
* make unlocking multiple accounts work with inline <() fd
* passwdfile now correctly read only once
* improve logs
* fix CLI help text for unlocking
fix regression with docRoot / admin API
* docRoot/jspath passed to rpc/api ParseApis, which passes onto adminApi
* docRoot field for JS console in order to pass when RPC is (re)started
* improve flag desc for jspath
common/docserver: catch http errors from response
fix rpc/api tests
common/natspec: fix end to end test (skipped because takes 8s)
registrar: fix major regression:
* deploy registrars on frontier
* register HashsReg and UrlHint in GlobalRegistrar.
* set all 3 contract addresses in code
* zero out addresses first in tests
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* core/vm: byte code VM moved to jump table instead of switch
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* Byte code VM now shares the same code as the JITVM
* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
`Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.
Most eth RPC calls that work with blocks crashed when the block was not
found because they called Hash on a nil block. This is a regression
introduced in cdc2662c40 (#1779).
While here, remove the insane conversions in get*CountBy*. There is no
need to construct a complete BlockRes and converting
int->int64->*big.Int->[]byte->hexnum->string to format the length of a
slice as hex.
The JSON-RPC server wraps TCP connections in order to be able to shut
down them down when RPC is stopped. This is rather scary code. Go 1.3
introduced the http.Server.ConnState hook for such purposes. We can use
this facility now that we depend on Go 1.4.
There are multiple reasons for the switch apart from making the code
less scary:
* the TCP listener no longer ticks every second to check a channel
* pending requests are allowed to finish after stopping the server
* we can time out idle keep-alive connections
* resolver -> common/registrar
* global registrar name registry interface
* add Call to resolver backend interface
* the hashReg and UrlHing contracts now initialised from global registry
* initialization of contracts uniform
* improve errors and more econsistent method names
* common/registrar/ethreg: versioned registrar
* integrate new naming and registrar in natspec
* js console api: setGlobalRegistrar, setHashReg, setUrlHint
* js test TestContract uses mining - tests fixed all pass
* eth/backend: allow PoW test mode (small ethash DAG)
* console jsre refers to resolver.abi/addr,
* cmd/geth/contracts.go moved to common/registrar
