The forking facility has been replaced by ForkedChain - frames and
layers are two other mechanisms that mostly do the same thing at the
aristo level, without quite providing the functionality FC needs - this
cleanup will make that integration easier.
* Split `core_db/base.nim` into several sources
* Rename `core_db/legacy.nim` => `core_db/legacy_db.nim`
* Update `CoreDb` API, dual methods returning `Result[]` or plain value
detail:
Plain value methods implemet the legacy API, they defect on error results
* Redesign `CoreDB` direct backend access
why:
Made the `backend` directive integral part of the API
* Discontinue providing unused or otherwise available functions
details:
+ setTransactionID() removed, not used and not easily replicable in Aristo
+ maybeGet() removed, available via direct backend access
+ newPhk() removed, never used & was experimental anyway
* Update/reorg backend API
why:
+ Added error print function `$$()`
+ General descriptor completion (and optional validation) via `bless()`
* Update `Aristo`/`Kvt` exception handling
why:
Avoid `CatchableError` exceptions, rather pass them as error code where
appropriate.
* More `CoreDB` compliant `Aristo` and `Kvt` methods
details:
+ Providing functions like `contains()`, `getVtxRc()` (returns `Result[]`).
+ Additional error code: `NotImplemented`
* Rewrite/reorg of Aristo DB constructor
why:
Previously used global object `DefaultQidLayoutRef` as default
initialiser. This object was created at compile time which lead to
non-gc safe functions.

* Redesign of BaseVMState descriptor
why:
BaseVMState provides an environment for executing transactions. The
current descriptor also provides data that cannot generally be known
within the execution environment, e.g. the total gasUsed which is
available not before after all transactions have finished.
Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor
that does not need pre-initialised input of the account database.
also:
Previous constructor and some fields are provided with a deprecated
annotation (producing a lot of noise.)
* Replace legacy directives in production sources
* Replace legacy directives in unit test sources
* fix CI (missing premix update)
* Remove legacy directives
* chase CI problem
* rebased
* Re-introduce 'AccountsCache' constructor optimisation for 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation
why:
Constructing a new 'AccountsCache' descriptor can be avoided sometimes
when the current state root is properly positioned already. Such a
feature existed already as the update function 'initStateDB()' for the
'BaseChanDB' where the accounts cache was linked into this desctiptor.
The function 'initStateDB()' was removed and re-implemented into the
'BaseVmState' constructor without optimisation. The old version was of
restricted use as a wrong accounts cache state would unconditionally
throw an exception rather than conceptually ask for a remedy.
The optimised 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation has been implemented for
the 'persistBlocks()' function.
also:
moved some test helpers to 'test/replay' folder
* Remove unused & undocumented fields from Chain descriptor
why:
Reduces attack surface in general & improves reading the code.
* 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
* Move and cleanup interpreter files - prepare for redesign of VM
* fix call comment aobut recursive dependencies
* memory: use a template again and avoid (?) a cstring-> string conversion
* Fix stack test regression
* Fix recursive dependency on logging_ops, test_vm_json compiles but regression :/
* Fix signextend regression
* Fix 3 signed test and sha3 test
