* params: add IsIstanbul to config + rules
IstanbulBlock, used to determine if the config IsIstanbul, is currently
left nil until an actual block is chosen.
* params, core/vm: implement EIP-1108
Old gas costs for elliptic curve operations are given the PreIstanbul
prefix, while current gas costs retain the unprefixed names. The actual
precompile implementations are the same, so they are factored out into
common functions that are called by the pre-Istanbul and current
precompile structs. Finally, an Istanbul precompile list is added that
references the new precompile structs, which in turn reference the new
gas costs.
* params: fix fork ordering, add missing chain compatibility check
* params, core/vm: deprecating gastable, part 1
* core/vm, params: deprecate gastable, use both constant and dynamic gas
* core/vm, params: remove gastable, remove copypaste
* core/vm: make use of the chainrules
* interpreter: make tracing count constant+dynamic gas
* core/vm: review concerns (param/method name changes)
* core/vm: make use of chainrules more
This PR adds a new fork which disables EIP-1283. Internally it's called Petersburg,
but the genesis/config field is ConstantinopleFix.
The block numbers are:
7280000 for Constantinople on Mainnet
7280000 for ConstantinopleFix on Mainnet
4939394 for ConstantinopleFix on Ropsten
9999999 for ConstantinopleFix on Rinkeby (real number decided later)
This PR also defaults to using the same ConstantinopleFix number as whatever
Constantinople is set to. That is, it will default to mainnet behaviour if ConstantinopleFix
is not set.This means that for private networks which have already transitioned
to Constantinople, this PR will break the network unless ConstantinopleFix is
explicitly set!
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.
* 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
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)
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.
This commit implements EIP158 part 1, 2, 3 & 4
1. If an account is empty it's no longer written to the trie. An empty
account is defined as (balance=0, nonce=0, storage=0, code=0).
2. Delete an empty account if it's touched
3. An empty account is redefined as either non-existent or empty.
4. Zero value calls and zero value suicides no longer consume the 25k
reation costs.
params: moved core/config to params
