As it happens, the two share the exact same interface (even the test
suite removed in this PR passes) - `minilru` has an edge on efficiency
however, avoiding the doubly linked list node allocations etc
serialize fewer non-eth types and more eth types - this module is
fraught with issues however since there's no one good "canonical"
encoding to choose - this goes back to the json ser framework lacking
good isolation between projects.
Since these types were written, we've gained an executable spec:
https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs
This PR aligns some of the types we use with this spec to simplify
comparisons and cross-referencing.
Using a `distinct` type is a tradeoff between nim ergonomics, type
safety and the ability to work around nim quirks and stdlib weaknesses.
In particular, it allows us to overload common functions such as `hash`
with correct and performant versions as well as maintain control over
string conversions etc at the cost of a little bit of ceremony when
instantiating them.
Apart from distinct byte types, `Hash32`, is introduced in lieu of the
existing `Hash256`, again aligning this commonly used type with the spec
which picks bytes rather than bits in the name.
* Using unsigned types for message type and requst IDs
why:
Negative values are neither defined for RLP nor in the protocol specs
which refer to the RLPs (see yellow paper app B clause (199).
* Fix `int` argument (must be `uint`) in fuzzing tests
why:
Not part of all tests so it slipped through.
* Restricting exception catcher
why:
`CatchableError` is not needed here
* Check data length before converting to `openArray[]`
why:
Getting the first entry of an `openArray[]` crashes with `IndexDefect`.
This is particularly annoying when decoding messages in rlpx.
* Added unit test using rlpx message that causes this problem to detect
Other implementations of MPT delete entries when attempting to put empty
value, because empty value cannot exist in RLP. We should match the
behaviour.
- https://github.com/ethereum/py-trie/pull/109
Also cross-checked with Geth and Ethereumjs implementations.
- Rework to have exception raise only at rlp decoding and use
result types from then onwards
- Adjust the current API to have result versions and deprecated
the ones which had var Record + bool
- Add PublickKey to the Record object, as this allows us to skip
fromRaw calls whenever access is needed to the public key
- Add a TypedRecord.fromRecord which cannot fail and deprecate
the old one
- Some other minor clean-up & re-ordering
- Rework adding and updating of fields by having an insert call
that gets used everywhere. Avoiding also duplicate keys. One
side-effect of this is that ENR sequence number will always get
updated on an update call, even if nothing changes.
- Deprecate initRecord as it is only used in tests and is flawed
- Assert when predefined keys go into the extra custom pairs.
Any of the predefined keys are only to be passed now via specific
parameters to make sure that the correct types are stored in ENR.
- Clearify the Opt.none behaviour for Record.update
- When setting ipv6, allow for tcp/udp port fields to be used
default
- General clean-up
- Rework/clean-up completely the ENR tests.
Fixes a missing CancelledError async raising on discv5 waitMessage
which would cause "Error set on a non-raising future".
Also moves some more results import away from stew.
We don't need to clear keccak context after hashing ethereum data since
it is already public - similar to
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/222.
Because we overwrite the result fully, we also don't need to zero first.
