* Remove exception from evm memory
* Remove exception from gas meter
* Remove exception from stack
* Remove exception from precompiles
* Remove exception from gas_costs
* Remove exception from op handlers
* Remove exception from op dispatcher
* Remove exception from call_evm
* Remove exception from EVM
* Fix tools and tests
* Remove exception from EVMC
* fix evmc
* Fix evmc
* Remove remnants of async evm stuff
* Remove superflous error handling
* Proc to func
* Fix errors detected by CI
* Fix EVM op call stack usage
* REmove exception handling from getVmState
* Better error message instead of just doAssert
* Remove unused validation
* Remove superflous catchRaise
* Use results.expect instead of unsafeValue
Also embed evmc_status_code to computation.error, and make
the tracer produce cleaner output. No more "Revert opcode executed"
error message. We can distinguish error code between REVERT
and FAILURE in a more cleaner way.
* 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
This patch adds:
- Load and use a third-party EVM in a shared library, instead of Nimbus EVM.
- New option `--evm` to specify which library to load.
- The library and this loader conforms to the [EVMC]
(https://evmc.ethereum.org/) 9.x specification.
Any third-party EVM which is compatible with EVMC version 9.x and supports EVM1
contract code will be accepted. The operating system's shared library format
applies. These are `.so*` files on Linux, `.dll` files on Windows and `.dylib`
files on Mac.
The alternative EVM can be selected in two ways:
- Nimbus command line option `--evm:<path>`.
- Environment variable `NIMBUS_EVM=<path>`.
The reason for an environment variable is this allows all the test programs to
run with a third-party EVM as well. Some don't parse command line options.
There are some limitations to be aware of:
- The third-party EVM must use EVMC version 9.x, no other major version.
EVMC 9.x supports EIP-1559 / London fork and older transactions.
- Nested `*CALL` and `CREATE*` operations don't use the third-party EVM yet.
These call the built-in Nimbus EVM. This mixing of different EVMs between
levels is explicitly allowed in specs, so there is no problem doing it.
- The third-party EVM doesn't need to support precompiles, because those are
nested calls, which use the built-in Nimbus EVM.
- Third-party EVMs execute contracts correctly, but fail the final `rootHash`
match. The reason is that some account state changes, which are correct, are
currently inside the Nimbus EVM and need to be moved to EVMC host logic.
*This is a known work in progress*. The EVM execution itself is fine.
Test results using "evmone" third-party EVM:
- [evmone](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone) has been tested. Only on
Linux but it "should" work on Windows and Mac equally well.
- [Version 0.8.1](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/releases/tag/v0.8.1) was
used because it is compatible with EVMC 9.x, which is required for the
EIP-1559 / London fork, which Nimbus supports. Version 0.8.0 could be used
but it looks like an important bug was fixed in 0.8.1.
- evmone runs fine and the trace output looks good. The calls and arguments
are the same as the built-in Nimbus EVM for tests that have been checked
manually, except evmone skips some calls that can be safely skipped.
- The final `rootHash` is incorrect, due to the *work in progress* mentioned
above which is not part of the evmone execution. Due to this, it's possible
to try evmone and verify expected behaviours, which also validates our own
EVMC implementation, but it can't be used as a full substitute yet.

This provides the functions a loadable VM must provide for a host to use it.
The main access to a loaded EVM is `evmc_create_nimbus_evm`, and this meant to
be the only exported function the caller starts with.
That provides access to other functions, also defined in this patch, to
configure the EVM and then the key interesting function is `execute`.
`execute` runs a full computation, here using Nimbus EVM `Computation`.
(Note, even though everything is EVMC binary-compatible, there is a small
dependency on `TransactionHost` in `execute` here, which prevents this being
used by a host that is not Nimbus at the moment. It is necessary for some
tests, and will eventually go away.)
Although this provides the VM-side functionality needed by the host, it does
not contain the glue functions for `Computation` to call the host, which are
already part of the Nimbus EVM in `nimbus/vm/evmc_api.nim`.
