This PR fixes an issue in traceChain, where the statedb Commit operation was performed asynchronously with dereference-operations agains the underlying trie.Database instance. Due to how the reference counting works within the trie database (where parent count is recursively updated when new parents are added), doing dereferencing in the middle of Commit can cause the refcount to become wrong, leading to an inconsistent state.
This was fixed by doing Commit/Deref from the same routine.
* core/types: rm extranous check in test
* core/rawdb: add lightweight types for block logs
* core/rawdb,eth: use lightweight accessor for log filtering
* core/rawdb: add bench for decoding into rlpLogs
This PR implements a new debug method, which I've talked briefly about to some other client developers. It allows the caller to obtain the intermediate state roots for a block (which might be either a canon block or a 'bad' block).
* internal: support optional filter expression for debug.stacks
* internal/debug: fix string regexp
* internal/debug: support searching for line numbers too
* ethclient/gethclient: fix flaky test (due to map key ordering)
* accounts/keystore: fix test failing due to rand collision due to low time resolution on windows
This change introduces 2 new optional methods; `enter()` and `exit()` for js tracers, and makes `step()` optiona. The two new methods are invoked when entering and exiting a call frame (but not invoked for the outermost scope, which has it's own methods). Currently these are the data fields passed to each of them:
enter: type (opcode), from, to, input, gas, value
exit: output, gasUsed, error
The PR also comes with a re-write of the callTracer. As a backup we keep the previous tracing script under the name `callTracerLegacy`. Behaviour of both tracers are equivalent for the most part, although there are some small differences (improvements), where the new tracer is more correct / has more information.
This makes several updates to support the blockupdates plugin.
I had to update several hooks that were using the wrong types, and
provide a way to get event.Feed objects into plugins without importing
event.Feed (which I did by having the plugin loader make them
available).
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: only use eth66 if eth66 is negotiated
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: switch on concrete type not pointer
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: switch on concrete type not pointer
