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.
- 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.
The ENR code used to be solely exception based, and these
exceptions where a left-over of that. They are useless as later
calls use Result anyhow.
Additionally, they cause quite the performance loss because they
are used in the "common path" for the toTypedRecord call, e.g.
when reading the fields of ip6, tcp6 and udp6.
* Don't fail ENR decoding when value is an RLP list
* Store RLP raw list in the ENR field pair instead
* Add ENR kList FieldKind so lists can be treated differently
Treated differently now when printing out the ENR, mentioning
that it is a raw RLP list
* Allow for tcp/udp ports to always be configured
- Allow for an ENR to be build with tcp and udp ports also when
no IP address is provided
- In the address set-up always provide best efforttcp and udp ports
also when configuration of external ip (and/or ports) fails.
* Add build_dcli target and add it to CI
* Fix local imports for dcli
* And use local imports for all other files too
* Use local imports in tests and rlpx protocols
* use bearssl rng throughout
* seeder can fail
* imports and exports
* modules, sigh
* one more try
* move var
* even fewer thread vars
* remove out-of-date genrated files
* Don't use signed integers in RLP
* Don't store IP addresses as var-sized ints (use fixed-sized blobs instead)
* Allow constructing ENR from ENode.Address
