This change imports the Swarm protocol codebase. Compared to the 'swarm'
branch, a few mostly cosmetic changes had to be made:
* The various redundant log message prefixes are gone.
* All files now have LGPLv3 license headers.
* Minor code changes were needed to please go vet and make the tests
pass on Windows.
* Further changes were required to adapt to the go-ethereum develop
branch and its new Go APIs.
Some code has not (yet) been brought over:
* swarm/cmd/bzzhash: will reappear as cmd/bzzhash later
* swarm/cmd/bzzup.sh: will be reimplemented in cmd/bzzup
* swarm/cmd/makegenesis: will reappear somehow
* swarm/examples/album: will move to a separate repository
* swarm/examples/filemanager: ditto
* swarm/examples/files: will not be merged
* swarm/test/*: will not be merged
* swarm/services/swear: will reappear as contracts/swear when needed
This change also deletes generator.go, moving the only interesting line
in it into release.go. The binding has been regenerated with abigen from
develop and solc v0.3.6.
The wrapper code is adapted from the swarm/services/chequebook package
with the following mostly cosmetic changes:
* The code now uses the new Go API interfaces to query balances. Some
minor functional changes were required to make this work.
* The package no longer depends on swarm/services/swap/swap. References
to swap.Promise are replaced by interface{}, the base type of Promise.
This is temporary.
* The contract wrapper has been regenerated with latest abigen
and solc v0.3.6.
* There is a new generator that creates the 'deployed code' variable.
* Documentation comments now follow the recommended godoc style.
* [CHEQUEBOOK] log prefixes are gone.
* LGPL license headers have been added to all files.
The need for these functions comes up in code that actually deploys and
uses contracts. As of this commit, they can be used with both
SimulatedBackend and ethclient.
SimulatedBackend gains some additional methods in the process and is now
safe for concurrent use.
In this commit, contract bindings and their backend start using the
Ethereum Go API interfaces offered by ethclient. This makes ethclient a
suitable replacement for the old remote backend and gets us one step
closer to the final stable Go API that is planned for go-ethereum 1.5.
The changes in detail:
* Pending state is optional for read only contract bindings.
BoundContract attempts to discover the Pending* methods via an
interface assertion. There are a couple of advantages to this:
ContractCaller is just two methods and can be implemented on top of
pretty much anything that provides Ethereum data. Since the backend
interfaces are now disjoint, ContractBackend can simply be declared as
a union of the reader and writer side.
* Caching of HasCode is removed. The caching could go wrong in case of
chain reorganisations and removing it simplifies the code a lot.
We'll figure out a performant way of providing ErrNoCode before the
1.5 release.
* BoundContract now ensures that the backend receives a non-nil context
with every call.
