why:
vm2 enabled by ENABLE_VM2=1 behaves as vm without ENABLE_EVMC=1 until
it doesn't in some future fatch set. this leaves some wiggle room
to work on a vm copy without degrading the original implementation.
details:
+ additional make flag ENABLE_VM2=1 (or ENABLE_VM2=0 to explicitely disable)
+ when both flags ENABLE_EVMC=1 and ENABLE_VM2=1 are present, the former
flag ENABLE_EVMC=1 takes precedence, this is implemented at the NIM
compiler level for -d:evmc_enabled and -d:vm2_enabled
* switch to chronos metrics, remove insecure
See https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2468
also fixes pcre linking for real, and adds some random build flags that
help nimbus-eth2 stay afloat
* fix help
* don't omit frame pointers on windows
* bump vendor/nimbus-build-system
- add the Nim compiler header to the Nimbus header
- also support the USE_LIBBACKTRACE env var
* "go-checks" target no longer available
- Travis: switch language
- AppVeyor: disable `mingw32-make go-checks` for now
- `make update`: export GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1
- CI: disable the LFS script inside Makefile,
since we run it separately (and git-lfs is not installed in the Travis
macOS image if we found a valid cache).
- re-enable Nim's cache globally
- add a new "nimcache" subdir for the libraries
- make sure Go doesn't try to link libnimbus.a in the dynamically linked
wrapper example
- always delete the static archive before recreating it
- rename wrapper.nim/.h to libnimbus.nim/.h
- better hygiene in libnimbus.h (include guards and C++ support)
- remove MainnetBootnodes copy, since we do include "config.nim" after all
- moved "nimbus/api" to "wrappers"
- renamed files
- replaced the build scripts with Makefile targets
- set the rpath relative to the test binary's location so it can look
for libnimbus.so there at runtime
- libnimbus.so.0 required on Linux, apparently
- compiled all the Nimbus code with `--app:lib`, not just one file (this
required skipping a proc in "nimbus/config.nim" because it uses an API
that's unavailable in libraries)
- removed static linking from the Go wrapper. It doesn't make sense at a
global level, when using a shared Nimbus library. To selectively link
static libraries, we should probably be specifying them as *.a. I did
build a static libnimbus.a, as a test, but it insisted on dlopen-ing a
shared version of itself which looked too ugly to continue.
Additional changes:
- Makefile verbosity control
- nimble.sh can now run in parallel on the same *.nimble file
- nimble.sh no longer used in the Makefile, in favour of a nimbus.nims
symlink that eliminates race risks in parallel jobs
- nimbus.nimble takes extra params in the command line, with the caveat
that they also apply to nim
- setCommand() replaced with exec(), to avoid splitting param strings
- "vendor/Nim/dist" might not exist
- work around build_all.sh not liking a symbolic link for csources
- submodule rename: asyndispatch2 -> chronos
- allow parallel building of Nim csources
- Windows testing
- go back to detached HEADs for reproducible historical builds
- update submodules
- document workflows
- build all tools using the Makefile and place them in ./build
- add copyright header to Makefile
- premix/readme.md edited to fix some errors, improve descriptions and
document Makefile usage
- link the Premix documentation in the main README.md
- also build `hunter` in the nimble tests
- refactored the file and directory search so all debugging tools can be run
from the top-level dir like this: `./build/<tool> ...`
- write all JSON debugging data in the current directory
- add JSON files generated in the top-level dir to .gitignore
- Nimbus now exits with an exception after dumping debug data and
running `premix` on it
- dependency repos moved to "vendor/<package name>"; delete
"vendor/repos" by hand after making sure it contains no unpushed work
- fixed the "validator_keygen" build and merged it with that of "beacon_node"
- replaced `nimble` with `nim` for compiling, since `nim` already knows
how to add the Nimble packages to its module path
- better target dependencies for "beacon_node" and "validator_keygen"
