For a long time this caused invalid RLP parsing of `NewBlock` messages in the `eth` protocol. The `rlpInline` pragma was accepted but had no effect. We could implemented it, but it doesn't seem worth doing, with tests etc, as there's only one user which has been fixed another way. With `NewBlock`, whenever a peer sent us `NewBlock`, we'd get an RLP decoding error, and disconnected the peer thinking it was the peer's error. These messages are sent often by good peers, so whenever we connected to a really good peer, we'd end up disconnecting within a minute due to this. This went unnoticed for years, as we stayed connected to old peers which have no new blocks, and we weren't looking at peer quality, disconnect reasons or real-time blockchain updates anyway.

eth - Eth Common Library
Introduction
Ethereum-related utilities written in Nim. Includes things like Bloom filters, private/public key utilities, RLP, devp2p, and more.
Docs
Prerequisites
- Nim & Nimble
- RocksDB, SQLite, LMDB (required for the trie backend tests)
E.g. on Ubuntu one can run:
apt install -y librocksdb-dev liblmdb-dev sqlite3
Building & Testing
# Install required modules
nimble install
# Run full test suite
nimble test
You can also run specific parts of the test suite, e.g.:
# Test p2p functionality
nimble test_p2p
# Test rlp functionality
nimble test_rlp
Fuzzing
Next to the test suite, there are also several fuzzing test cases available. How these can be run is explained in the fuzzing readme.
