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).
There are a bunch of changes required to make this work:
- in miner: allow unregistering agents, fix RemoteAgent.Stop
- in eth/filters: make FilterSystem.Stop not crash
- in rpc/comms: move listen loop to platform-independent code
Fixes#1930. I ran the shell loop there for a few minutes and didn't see
any changes in the memory profile.
XEth.gpo was being initialized as needed. WithState copies the XEth
struct including the gpo field. If gpo was nil at the time of the copy
and Call or Transact were invoked on it, an additional GPO listenLoop
would be spawned.
Move the lazy initialization to GasPriceOracle instead so the same GPO
instance is shared among all created XEths.
Fixes#1317
Might help with #1930
The amount of gas available for tx execution was tracked in the
StateObject representing the coinbase account. This commit makes the gas
counter a separate type in package core, which avoids unintended
consequences of intertwining the counter with state logic.
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.
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* core/vm: byte code VM moved to jump table instead of switch
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* Byte code VM now shares the same code as the JITVM
* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
`Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.
Moved the filtering system from `event` to `eth/filters` package and
removed the `core.Filter` object. The `filters.Filter` object now
requires a `common.Database` rather than a `eth.Backend` and invokes the
`core.GetBlockByX` directly rather than thru a "manager".
This fix addresses an issue with filters that were (possibly) not yet
added to the filter queues but were expected. I've added additional nil
checks making sure it doesn't crash and swapped the installation of the
filter around so it's installed before use.
Closes#1665
Added a transact mutex. The transact mutex will fix an issue where
transactions were created with the same nonce resulting in some
transactions being dropped. This happened when two concurrent calls
would call the `Transact` method (which is OK) which would both call
`GetNonce`. While the managed is thread safe it does not help us in this
case.
* 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
