Previously it was assumed that wheneven type `[]interface{}` was given
that the interface was empty. The abigen rightfully assumed that
interface slices which already have pre-allocated variable sets to be
assigned.
This PR fixes that by checking that the given `[]interface{}` is larger
than zero and assigns each value using the generic `set` function (this
function has also been moved to abi/reflect.go) and checks whether the
assignment was possible.
The generic assignment function `set` now also deals with pointers
(useful for interface slice mentioned above) by dereferencing the
pointer until it finds a setable type.
Refactored the abi package parsing and type handling. Relying mostly on
package reflect as opposed to most of our own type reflection. Our own
type reflection is still used however for cases such as Bytes and
FixedBytes (abi: bytes•).
This also inclused several fixes for slice handling of arbitrary and
fixed size for all supported types.
This also further removes implicit type casting such as assigning,
for example `[2]T{} = []T{1}` will fail, however `[2]T{} == []T{1, 2}`
(notice assigning *slice* to fixed size *array*). Assigning arrays to
slices will always succeed if they are of the same element type.
Incidentally also fixes#2379
In order to avoid disk thrashing for Accounts and HasAccount,
address->key file mappings are now cached in memory. This makes it no
longer necessary to keep the key address in the file name. The address
of each key is derived from file content instead.
There are minor user-visible changes:
- "geth account list" now reports key file paths alongside the address.
- If multiple keys are present for an address, unlocking by address is
not possible. Users are directed to remove the duplicate files
instead. Unlocking by index is still possible.
- Key files are overwritten written in place when updating the password.
- Manager.Accounts no longer returns an error.
- Manager methods take Account instead of common.Address.
- All uses of Account with unkeyed fields are converted.
The account management API was originally implemented as a thin layer
around crypto.KeyStore, on the grounds that several kinds of key stores
would be implemented later on. It turns out that this won't happen so
KeyStore is a superflous abstraction.
In this commit crypto.KeyStore and everything related to it moves to
package accounts and is unexported.
The chain maker and the simulated backend now run with a homestead phase
beginning at block 0 (i.e. there's no frontier).
This commit also fixes up #2388
Added chain configuration options and write out during genesis database
insertion. If no "config" was found, nothing is written to the database.
Configurations are written on a per genesis base. This means
that any chain (which is identified by it's genesis hash) can have their
own chain settings.
Fixed up `[]byte` slice support such that `function print(bytes input)`
accepts `[]byte` as input and treats it as 1 element rather than a slice
of multiple elements.
Added support for variable length input parameters like `bytes` and
`strings`.
Removed old unmarshalling of return types: `abi.Call(...).([]byte)`.
This is now replaced by a new syntax:
```
var a []byte
err := abi.Call(&a, ...)
```
It also addresses a few issues with Bytes and Strings and can also
handle both fixed and arbitrary sized byte slices, including strings.
* 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
- cli: add passwordfile flag
- cli: change unlock flag only takes account
- cli: with unlock you are prompted for password or use passfile with password flag
- cli: unlockAccount used in normal client start (run) and accountExport
- cli: getPassword used in accountCreate and accountImport
- accounts: Manager.Import, Manager.Export
- crypto: SaveECDSA (to complement LoadECDSA) to save to file
- crypto: NewKeyFromECDSA added (used in accountImport and New = generated constructor)
There is no point to using time.Duration if the value is interpreted as
milliseconds. Callers should use the standard multiplication idiom to
choose the unit. In fact, the only caller outside of the tests already
does so.
Account is now always a non-pointer. This will be important once
the manager starts remembering accounts.
AccountManager is now always a pointer because it contains locks
and locks cannot be copied.
* Change account signing API to two sign functions;
Sign without passphrase - works if account is unlocked
Sign with passphrase - always works and unlocks the account
* Account stays unlocked for X ms and is then automatically locked
