This pull request introduces a database tool for inspecting the state history.
It can be used for either account history or storage slot history, within a
specific block range.
The state output format can be chosen either with
- the "rlp-encoded" values (those inserted into the merkle trie)
- the "rlp-decoded" value (the raw state value)
The latter one needs --raw flag.
As SELF-DESTRUCT opcode is disabled in the cancun fork(unless the
account is created within the same transaction, nothing to delete
in this case). The account will only be deleted in the following
cases:
- The account is created within the same transaction. In this case
the original storage was empty.
- The account is empty(zero nonce, zero balance, zero code) and
is touched within the transaction. Fortunately this kind of accounts
are not-existent on ethereum-mainnet.
All in all, after cancun, we are pretty sure there is no large contract
deletion and we don't need this mechanism for oom protection.
