/// EVM-C -- C interface to Ethereum Virtual Machine /// /// ## High level design rules /// /// 1. Pass function arguments and results by value. /// This rule comes from modern C++ and tries to avoid costly alias analysis /// needed for optimization. As the result we have a lots of complex structs /// and unions. And variable sized arrays of bytes cannot be passed by copy. /// 2. The EVM operates on integers so it prefers values to be host-endian. /// On the other hand, LLVM can generate good code for byte swaping. /// The interface also tries to match host application "natural" endianess. /// I would like to know what endianess you use and where. /// /// ## Terms /// /// 1. EVM -- an Ethereum Virtual Machine instance/implementation. /// 2. Host -- an entity controlling the EVM. The Host requests code execution /// and responses to EVM queries by callback functions. /// /// @defgroup EVMC EVM-C /// @{ #ifndef EVM_H #define EVM_H #include // Definition of int64_t, uint64_t. #include // Definition of size_t. #if __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif // BEGIN Python CFFI declarations enum { /// The EVM-C ABI version number of the interface declared in this file.
