* Redefine `seq[Blob]` => `seq[SnapProof]` for `snap/1` protocol
why:
Proof nodes are traded as `Blob` type items rather than Nim objects. So
the RLP transcoder must not extra wrap proofs which are of type
seq[Blob]. Without custom encoding one would produce a
`list(blob(item1), blob(item2) ..)` instead of `list(item1, item2 ..)`.
* Limit leaf extractor by RLP size rather than number of items
why:
To be used serving `snap/1` requests, the result of function
`hexaryRangeLeafsProof()` is limited by the maximal space
needed to serialise the result which will be part of the
`snap/1` repsonse.
* Let the range extractor `hexaryRangeLeafsProof()` return RLP list sizes
why:
When collecting accounts, the size oft the accounts list when encoded
as RLP is continually updated. So the summed up value is available
anyway. For the proof nodes list, there are not many (~ 10) so summing
up is not expensive here.
* Removed some Windows specific unit test annoyances
details:
+ Short put()/get() cycles on persistent database have a race condition
with vendor rocksdb. On a specific (and slow) qemu/win7 a 50ms `sleep()`
in between will mostly do the job (i.e. unless heavy CPU load.) This
issue was not observed on github/ci.
+ Removed annoyances when qemu/Win7 keeps the rocksdb database files
locked even after closing the db. The problem is solved by strictly
using fresh names for each test. No assumption made to be able to
properly clean up. This issue was not observed on github/ci.
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 7, misc/non(sync or graphql)
details:
Adding some missing exception annotation
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 6, evm
details:
Adding some missing exception annotation
* Update evmc cases
why:
were previously missing
* Increase Windows stack needed to run EVMC unit tests
why:
After annotating functions to trace exceptions some unit tests started
to fail on Windows without clear error report.
EVMC works recursively and now there seems to be a stack problem
reported by the nim compiler. Increasing the NIM stack ass sugessted by
NIM (using -d:nimCallDepthLimit=###) had some effect but no clear
solution.
Note that this patch set unrolls some NIM compiler settings
* Unit tests to verify calculations based on hard coded constants
why:
Sizes of RLP encoded objects are available at run time only.
* Changed argument order for `hexaryRangeLeafsProof()` prototype
why:
Better to read as a stand-alone function (arguments were optimised
for functional pipelines)
* Run sub-range proof tests for extracted ranges
to avoid conflict because if testutp using ubuntu-latest
cached Nim compiler will be used by linux test which is using
ubuntu 20.04, then missing glibc 2.33 error. ubuntu 20.04 still
using glibc 2.31
* Cosmetics
details:
+ Update doc generator
+ Fix key type representation in `hexary_desc` for debugging
+ Redefine `isImportOk()` as template for better `check()` line reporting
* Fix fringe condition when interpolating Merkle-Patricia tries
details:
Small change with profound effect fixing some pathological condition
that haunted the unit test set on large data sers. There is still one
condition left which might well be due to an incomplete data set.
* Unit test proof nodes for node range extractor
* Unit tests to run on full extraction set
why:
Left over from troubleshooting, range length was only 5
* Reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Fluffy and Nimbus proxy
Mostly raises Defect removals, TaintedString removal and some
unnecessary imports.
Also updating the copyright years alongside.
* Further reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Nimbus
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 5, common
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 6, db, rpc, utils
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 7, randomly collected source files
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 8, assorted tests
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Clique update
why:
More impossible exceptions (undoes temporary fix from previous PR)
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 1, tx_pool
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 2, clique
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 3, misc core
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 4, sync
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Clique update
why:
Missing exception annotation
* Update comments and test noise
* Fix boundary proofs
why:
Where neither used in production, nor unit tested. For production, other
methods apply to test leaf range integrity directly based of the proof
nodes.
* Added `hexary_range()`: interval range + proof extractor
details:
+ Will be used for `snap/1` protocol handler
+ Unit tests added (also for testing left boundary proof)
todo:
Need to verify completeness of proof nodes
* Reduce some nim 1.6 compiler noise
* Stop unit test gossip for ci tests
* Updated to the latest nim-eth, nim-rocksdb, nim-web3
* Bump nimbus-eth2 module and fix related issues
Temporarily disabling Portal beacon light client network as it is
a lot of copy pasted code that did not yet take into account
forks. This will require a bigger rework and was not yet tested
in an actual network anyhow.
* More nimbus fixes after module bumps

Two unresolved items currently:
- Three tests that are temporarily disabled as they fail in the
macro_assembler code, which seems to be due to an ambigious
identifier Stop (Ops and chronos ServerCommand enum).
- i386 CI disabled as it fails at Nim compilation already. Failed
tests where already ignored for this target.
why:
Clique relies on the even/odd position of an address after sorting. For
address generation, the Nim PRNG was used which seems to have changed
with Nim 1.6.11 (Linux, Windoes only.)
As a replace, the Posix.1-2001 example (two-liner calculation) generator
is used.
* Extracted RocksDB timing unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extracted `inspectionRunner()` unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extracted `storagesRunner()` unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extracted pivot checkpoint store/retrieval unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extract helper functions into separate source file
* Extracted account import unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Rename `test_decompose()` => `test_NodeRangeDecompose()`
why:
There will be more functions with `test_NodeRange` prefix.
* Move BlockHeaderWithProof content to content key selector 0
- Remove as content type with content key selector 4
- Replace regular block header with BlockHeaderWithProof at
content key selector 0
* Apply blockHeader content key also to bridge
* Add tests for header with proof generation and verification
* Cosmetics, update logger `topics`
* Clean up sync/start methods in nimbus
why:
* The `protocols` list selects served (as opposed to sync) protocols only.
* The `SyncMode.Default` object is allocated with the other possible sync
mode objects.
* Add snap service stub to `nimbus`
* Provide full set of snap response handler stubs
* Bicarb for the latest CI hiccup
why:
Might be a change in the CI engine for MacOS.
This is an example of how the beacon state historical_roots could
be added with a proof to be able to provide on the network and
verify by means of proof against the state root.
* Simplify pivot update
why:
No need to fetch the pivot header from the network when it can be
be made available in the ivot cache
also:
Keep `txPool` update disabled while syncing
* Cosmetics, tune down some logging noise
* Support `snap/1` without `eth/6?`
why:
Eth is not needed here.
* Snap is an (optional) extension of `eth`
so:
It it must be supported somehow. Nevertheless it will be currently
unused in the snap syncer.
* Register external beacon stream header
why:
This will be used to sync the peers against.
* Update total coverage book-keeping for 100% roll-over
details:
Provide commonly available/used function
* Replace best pivot by beacon stream tracker
details:
Beacon stream header cache will be updated by external chain monitor via
RPC. This cached header will then be used to sync the pivot.
why:
Some peers reconnect recurrently after dialogue was found useless. The
reconnect loop protection was in place already, albeit insufficient.
also:
Some updates to allow setting previously constant parameters at run
time.
