* Normalised storage tree addressing in function prototypes
detail:
Argument list is always `<db> <account-path> <slot-path> ..` with
both path arguments as `openArray[]`
* Remove cruft
* CoreDb internally Use full account paths rather than addresses
* Update API logging
* Use hashed account address only in prototypes
why:
This avoids unnecessary repeated hashing of the same account address.
The burden of doing that is upon the application. In the case here,
the ledger caches all kinds of stuff anyway so it is common sense to
exploit that for account address hashes.
caveat:
Using `openArray[byte]` argument types for hashed accounts is inherently
fragile. In non-release mode, a length verification `doAssert` is
enabled by default.
* No accPath in data record (use `AristoAccount` as `CoreDbAccount`)
* Remove now unused `eAddr` field from ledger `AccountRef` type
why:
Is duplicate of lookup key
* Avoid merging the account record/statement in the ledger twice.
It is common for many accounts to share the same code - at the database
level, code is stored by hash meaning only one copy exists per unique
program but when loaded in memory, a copy is made for each account.
Further, every time we execute the code, it must be scanned for invalid
jump destinations which slows down EVM exeuction.
Finally, the extcodesize call causes code to be loaded even if only the
size is needed.
This PR improves on all these points by introducing a shared
CodeBytesRef type whose code section is immutable and that can be shared
between accounts. Further, a dedicated `len` API call is added so that
the EXTCODESIZE opcode can operate without polluting the GC and code
cache, for cases where only the size is requested - rocksdb will in this
case cache the code itself in the row cache meaning that lookup of the
code itself remains fast when length is asked for first.
With 16k code entries, there's a 90% hit rate which goes up to 99%
during the 2.3M attack - the cache significantly lowers memory
consumption and execution time not only during this event but across the
board.

* Better error message instead of just doAssert
* Remove unused validation
* Remove superflous catchRaise
* Use results.expect instead of unsafeValue
* Activate `LedgerRef` wrapper for `AccountsCache`
details:
`accounts_cache.nim` methods are indirectly processed by the wrapper
methods from `ledger.nim`.
This works for all sources except `test_state_db.nim` where the source
`accounts_cache.nim` is included (rather than imported) in order to
access objects privy to the very source.
* Provide facility to switch to a preselected `LedgerRef` type
details:
Can be set as suggestion when initialising `CommonRef`
* Update `CoreDb` test suite for better time tracking
details:
+ Allow time logging by pre-defined block intervals
+ Print `CoreDb`/`Ledger`profiling results (if enabled)
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.
* Recreating some of the speculative-execution code.
Not really using it yet. Also there's some new inefficiency in
memory.nim, but it's fixable - just haven't gotten around to it yet.
The big thing introduced here is the idea of "cells" for stack,
memory, and storage values. A cell is basically just a Future (though
there's also the option of making it an Identity - just a simple
distinct wrapper around a value - if you want to turn off the
asynchrony).
* Bumped nim-eth.
* Cleaned up a few comments.
* Bumped nim-secp256k1.
* Oops.
* Fixing a few compiler errors that show up with EVMC enabled.
simplify EVM and delegete those things to accounts cache.
also no more manual state clearing, accounts cache will be
responsible for both collecting touched account and perform
state clearing.
* 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
