why:
it was convenient to have relocatable source modules when writing the
vm interface wrappers. this patch moves it back to the standard.
also:
there are no deep links into the vm folder anymore which leaves some
room for manoeuvring inside
why:
the nvm_ prefix was used inside the vm folder to hide them temporarily
from the outside world while writing export wrappers. now all
functionality is accessed via vm_*, rather than vm/* imports.
todo:
at a later stage the import headers of the vm modules need to get fixed
to meet style guide standards (as jacek kindly pointed out.)
why:
relative paths make sources inherently non-relocatable
details:
import base is set to the nimbus directoy, so importing ./stack
from file interpreter.nim becomes vm/stack etc.
caveat:
a file named nimbus/strformat.nim would clash with strformat (but
not with std/strformat)
* Delete utilities: address, padding, bytes
* Remove bigEndianToInt
* Fix C compiler error: member reference base type 'char' is not a structure or union
* fix todo comment
* move forks constants, rename errors
* Move vm/utils to vm/interpreter/utils
* initial opcodes refactoring
* Add refactored Comparison & Bitwise Logic Operations
* Add sha3 and address, simplify macro, support pop 0
* balance, origin, caller, callValue
* fix gas copy opcodes gas costs, add callDataLoad/Size/Copy, CodeSize/Copy and gas price opcode
* Update with 30s, 40s, 50s opcodes + impl of balance + stack improvement
* add push, dup, swap, log, create and call operations
* finish opcode implementation
* Add the new dispatching logic
* Pass the opcode test
* Make test_vm_json compile
* halt execution without exceptions for Return, Revert, selfdestruct (fix#62)
* Properly catch and recover from EVM exceptions (stack underflow ...)
* Fix byte op
* Fix jump regressions
* Update for latest devel, don't import old dispatch code as quasiBoolean macro is broken by latest devel
* Fix sha3 regression on empty memory slice and until end of range slice
* Fix padding / range error on expXY_success (gas computation left)
* update logging procs
* Add tracing - expXY_success is not a regression, sload stub was accidentally passing the test
* Reuse the same stub as OO implementation
* Delete previous opcode implementation
* Delete object oriented fork code
* Delete exceptions that were used as control flows
* delete base.nim 🔥, yet another OO remnants
* Delete opcode table
* Enable omputed gotos and compile-time gas fees
* Revert const gasCosts -> generates SIGSEGV
* inline push, swap and dup opcodes
* loggers are now template again, why does this pass new tests?
* Trigger CI rebuild after rocksdb fix https://github.com/status-im/nim-rocksdb/pull/5
* Address review comment on "push" + VMTests in debug mode (not release)
* Address review comment: don't tag fork by default, make opcode impl grepable
* Static compilation fixes after rebasing
* fix the initialization of the VM database
* add a missing import
* Deactivate balance and sload test following #59
* Reactivate stack check (deactivated in #59, necessary to pass tests)
* Merge remaining opcodes implementation from #59
* Merge callDataLoad and codeCopy fixes, todo simplify see #67
