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).
* 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
Log filtering is now using a MIPmap like approach where addresses of
logs are added to a mapped bloom bin. The current levels for the MIP are
in ranges of 1.000.000, 500.000, 100.000, 50.000, 1.000. Logs are
therefor filtered in batches of 1.000.
Dev mode enabled some debugging flags such as:
* VM debugging mode
* Simpler proof of work
* Whisper enabled by default
* Datadir to a tmp datadir
* Maxpeers set to 0
* Gas price of 0
* Random listen port
Fixed database merge strategy to use the correct database. Due to a copy
paste fail when doing type evaluation the same database was being
iterated (chain), all others were ignored.
Removed state prefixing because {H(code): code} is stored in the same
database as the rest of the state.
* 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
* Miners do now verify their own header, not their state.
* Changed old putTx and putReceipts to be exported
* Moved writing of transactions and receipts out of the block processer
in to the chain manager. Closes#1386
* Miner post ChainHeadEvent & ChainEvent. Closes#1388
* multiple passwords allowed in password file
* split on "\n", sideeffect: chop trailing slashes. fixes common mistake <(echo 'pass')
* remove accounts.Primary method
* do not fall back to primary account for mining
You can set the nonce of the block with `--genesisnonce`. When the
genesis nonce changes and it doesn't match with the first block in your
database it will fail. A new `datadir` must be given if the nonce of the
genesis block changes.
Removed the managed tx state from the chain manager to the transaction
pool where it's much easier to keep track of nonces (and manage them).
The transaction pool now also uses the queue and pending txs differently
where queued txs are now moved over to the pending queue (i.e. txs ready
for processing and propagation).
- backend: AutoDAG bool flag passed from cli/eth.Config to ethereum, autoDAG loop started if true
- backend: autoDAG loop start/stop, remove previous DAG
- cli: AutoDAG bool flag, off by default, but automatically ON if mining
- admin jsre: add startAutoDAG stopAutoDAG and makeDAG in miner section
- switch on/off DAG autogeneration when miner started/stopped on console
ChainManager now uses a parallel approach to block processing where all
nonces are checked seperatly from the block processing process. This
speeds up the process by about 3 times on my i7
* core: Added GasPriceChange event
* eth: When one of the DB flush methods error a fatal error log message
is given. Hopefully this will prevent corrupted databases from
occuring.
* miner: remove transactions with low gas price. Closes#906, #903
