## Abstract
|
||
|
||
[EVMC] specifies a generic API for Ethereum execution engines.
|
||
This EIP specifies a way of providing implementations of Ethereum precompiled contracts
|
||
using the [EVMC VM API].
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Specification
|
||
|
||
For the complete [EVMC] specification visit the [EVMC documentation] first.
|
||
This EIP is based on and is compatible with EVMC ABI version 6.
|
||
|
||
The EVMC module with implementations of precompiled contracts SHOULD:
|
||
|
||
1. Advertise the [`EVMC_CAPABILITY_PRECOMPILES`] capability
|
||
in the [`get_capabilities()`] method.
|
||
|
||
2. Implement the [`execute()`] method in the following way:
|
||
|
||
1. Validate the incoming execution request requirements:
|
||
|
||
1. The message kind ([`evmc_message::kind`]) is a call ([`EVMC_CALL`]).
|
||
|
||
2. The call destination address ([`evmc_message::destination`])
|
||
is within the range of precompiled contracts defined by [EIP-1352].
|
||
|
||
3. There is no code provided (the `code` argument is `NULL` and `code_size` argument is `0`).
|
||
|
||
If the requirements are not fulfilled, abort execution with the [`EVMC_REJECTED`] status code.
|
||
|
||
2. Check if the call destination address ([`evmc_message::destination`])
|
||
targets existing precompiled contract.
|
||
Consider the EVM revision ([`evmc_revision`]) requested by
|
||
the `rev` parameter of [`execute()`].
|
||
|
||
If yes, execute as follows:
|
||
|
||
1. Inspect the input data ([`evmc_message::input_data`], [`evmc_message::input_size`])
|
||
and calculate the _gas cost_ of the execution.
|
||
|
||
2. Compute the amount of _gas left_ after execution by
|
||
subtracting the _gas cost_ from the call gas limit ([`evmc_message::gas`]).
|
||
|
||
3. If _gas left_ is negative,
|
||
abort execution with the [`EVMC_OUT_OF_GAS`] status code.
|
||
|
||
4. Otherwise,
|
||
execute the code of the precompiled contract,
|
||
return the [`EVMC_SUCCESS`] status code, the output and _gas left_
|
||
([`evmc_result::output_data`], [`evmc_result::output_size`], [`evmc_result::gas_left`]).
|
||
|
||
3. Otherwise, emulate execution of empty code by returning
|
||
the [`EVMC_SUCCESS`] status code
|
||
and _gas left_ equal the call gas limit ([`evmc_message::gas`]).
|
||
|
||
Precompiled contract implementations are allowed to return two more EVMC error codes:
|
||
- [`EVMC_FAILURE`] if the failure was caused due to something other than out of gas (e.g. input validation error)
|
||
- [`EVMC_REVERT`] if the precompile doesn't want to forfeit all supplied gas (as of May 2019 no such precompile exists)
|
||
|
||
The Client is not required to provide the Host interface ([`evmc_context`] argument of [`execute()`] is set to NULL).
|
||
Therefore, the precompiled contracts implementation MUST NOT access the `evmc_context`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Rationale
|
||
|
||
It is very unlikely that any precompile will need to access or modify a contract state.
|
||
Not requiring the Client to implement the EVMC Host interface removes the big portion of work
|
||
needed for full EVMC integration.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Test Cases
|
||
|
||
EVMC provides the [evmc-vmtester] tool for checking compatibility with the EVMC specification.
|
||
|
||
