* extract unused clique/mining support into separate file
why:
mining is currently unsupported by nimbus
* Replay first 51840 transactions from Goerli block chain
why:
Currently Goerli is loaded but the block headers are not verified.
Replaying allows real data PoA development.
details:
Simple stupid gzipped dump/undump layer for debugging based on
the zlib module (no nim-faststream support.)
This is a replay running against p2p/chain.persistBlocks() where
the data were captured from.
* prepare stubs for PoA engine
* split executor source into sup-modules
why:
make room for updates, clique integration should go into
executor/update_poastate.nim
* Simplify p2p/executor.processBlock() function prototype
why:
vmState argument always wraps basicChainDB
* split processBlock() into sub-functions
why:
isolate the part where it will support clique/poa
* provided additional processTransaction() function prototype without _fork_ argument
why:
with the exception of some tests, the _fork_ argument is always derived
from the other prototype argument _vmState_
details:
similar situation with makeReceipt()
* provide new processBlock() version explicitly supporting PoA
details:
The new processBlock() version supporting PoA is the general one also
supporting non-PoA networks, it needs an additional _Clique_ descriptor
function argument for PoA state (if any.)
The old processBlock() function without the _Clique_ descriptor argument
retorns an error on PoA networgs (e.g. Goerli.)
* re-implemented Clique descriptor as _ref object_
why:
gives more flexibility when moving around the descriptor object
details:
also cleaned up a bit the clique sources
* comments for clarifying handling of Clique/PoA state descriptor
Transaction and BlockHeader already updated in nim-eth repo
to support EIP-1559
EIP-1559 header validation and gasLimit validation
already implemented in previous commit
This commit deals with block validation:
- Effective gasPrice per EIP-1559
- new miner reward based on priorityFee
- nim-graphql from v0.2.16 to v0.2.18:
- replace nim-miniz with nim-zlib
- replace unittest with unittest2
- nim-http-utils:
- Fix to handle HTTP response with `<space>CRLF` after response status code.
- nim-json-rpc:
- rename ws to websocket
- nim-websock:
- rename ws to websock
- fix mutual closing bug
- fix compile time error when using chronicles sink:json
- nim-chronicles:
- add isLogFormatUsed, used by nim-websock
Previously max gas refunded was defined as gas_used div 2.
Here we name the constant 2 as MAX_REFUND_QUOTIENT and
change its value to 5.
The new equation will be: gas_used div MAX_REFUND_QUOTIENT
SSTORE_CLEARS_SCHEDULE or FeeSchedule[RefundsClear] in evm
have initial value of 15_000 when introduced by EIP-2200.
EIP-2200 also set new value for SSTORE_RESET_GAS
from 5000 to to 5000 - COLD_SLOAD_COST
Now with EIP-3529, SSTORE_CLEARS_SCHEDULE beecome
SSTORE_RESET_GAS + ACCESS_LIST_STORAGE_KEY_COST
or 5000 - COLD_SLOAD_COST + ACCESS_LIST_STORAGE_KEY_COST
of 5000 - 2100 + 1900 = 4800
This preparation is needed for subsequent
EIPs included in London.
- Add London to Fork enum
- Block number to fork
- Parsing London fork in chain config
- Prepare gas costs table for London
- Prepare EVM opcode dispatcher for London
- Block rewards for London
- Prepare hive script for London
* continue importing rlp blocks
why:
a chain of blocks to be imported might have legit blocks
after rejected blocks
details:
import loop only stops if the import list is exhausted or if there
was a decoding error. this adds another four to the count of successful
no-hive tests.
* verify DAO marked extra data field in block header
why:
was ignored, scores another two no-hive tests
* verify minimum required difficulty in header validator
why:
two more nohive tests to succeed
details:
* subsumed extended header tests under validateKinship() and renamed it
more appropriately validateHeaderAndKinship()
* enhanced readability of p2p/chain.nim
* cleaned up test_blockchain_json.nim
* verify positive gasUsed unless no transactions
why:
solves another to nohive tests
details:
straightened test_blockchain_json chech so there is no unconditional
rejection anymore (based on the input test scenario)
- nim-json-rpc already replace news with nim-ws
- we also remove news from dependency
- we already have include nim-ws as dependency
- new chronos features is needed by nim-ws
* Re-adjust canonical head to parent of block to be inserted
why:
of the failing tests that remain to be solved, 30 of those will succeed
if the canonical database chain head is cleverly adjusted -- yes, it
looks like a hack, indeed.
details:
at the moment, this hack works for the non-hive tests only and is
triggered by a boolean argument passed on to the chain.persistBlocks()
method.
* Use parent instead of canonical head for block to be inserted
why:
side chains need to be inserted typically somewhere before the
canonical head.
details:
the previous _hack_ was unnecessary and removed, it was inspired by
some verification in persistBlocks() which explicitly referenced the
canonical head (which now might or might not refer to the newly inserted
header.)
* remove unnecessary code + comment
- we replace nim-miniz with nim-zlib because nim-ws requires
features not available in miniz
- nim-graphql also switch to nim-zlib
- nim-ws depends on nim-zlib and we need it for upcoming
websocket rpc
why:
some handy features were intended to support the unit test from
the clique/clique_test.go source (the other one is from
clique/snapshot_test.go.)
as this test cannot realistically be implemented without the full
api (includes mining support), it is left as that
