* Kvt: Implemented multi-descriptor access on the same backend
why:
This behaviour mirrors the one of Aristo and can be used for
simultaneous transactions on Aristo + Kvt
* Kvt: Update database iterators
why:
Forgot to run on the top layer first
* Kvt: Misc fixes
* Aristo, use `openArray[byte]` rather than `Blob` in prototype
* Aristo, by default hashify right after cloning descriptor
why:
Typically, a completed descriptor is expected after cloning. Hashing
can be suppressed by argument flag.
* Aristo provides `replicate()` iterator, similar to legacy `replicate()`
* Aristo API fixes and updates
* CoreDB: Rename `legacy_persistent` => `legacy_rocksdb`
why:
More systematic, will be in line with Aristo DB which might have
more than one persistent backends
* CoreDB: Prettify API sources
why:
Better to read and maintain
details:
Annotating with custom pragmas which cleans up the prototypes
* CoreDB: Update MPT/put() prototype allowing `CatchableError`
why:
Will be needed for Aristo API (legacy is OK with `RlpError`)
* Remove concept of empty/blind filters
why:
Not needed. A non-existent filter is is coded as a nil reference.
* Slightly generalised backend iterators
why:
* VertexID as key for the ID generator state makes no sense
* there will be more tables addressed by non-VertexID keys
* Store serialised/blobified vertices on memory backend
why:
This is more in line with the RocksDB backend so more appropriate
for testing when comparing behaviour. For a speedy memory database,
a backend-less variant should be used.
* Drop the `Aristo` prefix from names `AristoLayerRef`, etc.
* Suppress compiler warning
why:
duplicate imports
* Add filter serialisation transcoder
why:
Will be used as storage format
* Nimbus folder environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `nimbus` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program does not compile yet as it needs the updates
in the parallel `stateless` sub-folder.
* Stateless environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `stateless` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program compiles now.
* Premix environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `premix` sub-folder.
* Fluffy environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `fluffy` sub-folder.
* Tools environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tools` sub-folder.
* Nodocker environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the
`hive_integration/nodocker` sub-folder.
* Tests environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tests` sub-folder.
* The unit tests compile and run cleanly now.
* Generalise `CoreDbRef` to any `select_backend` supported database
why:
Generalisation was just missed due to overcoming some compiler oddity
which was tied to rocksdb for testing.
* Suppress compiler warning for `newChainDB()`
why:
Warning was added to this function which must be wrapped so that
any `CatchableError` is re-raised as `Defect`.
* Split off persistent `CoreDbRef` constructor into separate file
why:
This allows to compile a memory only database version without linking
the backend library.
* Use memory `CoreDbRef` database by default
detail:
Persistent DB constructor needs to import `db/core_db/persistent
why:
Most tests use memory DB anyway. This avoids linking `-lrocksdb` or
any other backend by default.
* fix `toLegacyBackend()` availability check
why:
got garbled after memory/persistent split.
* Clarify raw access to MPT for snap sync handler
why:
Logically, `kvt` is not the raw access for the hexary trie (although
this holds for the legacy database)
previously, the withdrawal validation is in process_block only,
but the one in persist block, which is also used in synchronizer
is not validated properly.
* 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.
* Update sync scheduler pool mode
why:
The pool mode allows to loop over active peers one after another. This
is ideal for soft re-starting peers. As this is a two tier experience
(start/stop, setup/release) the loop must be run twice. This is
controlled by a more rigid re-definition of how to use the `poolMode`
flag.
* Mitigate RLP serialiser deficiency
why:
Currently, serialising the `BlockBody` in not conevrtible and need
to be checked in the `eth` module. Currently a local fix for the
wire protocol applies. Unit tests will stay (after this local solution
will have been removed.)
* Code cosmetics and massage
details:
Main part is `types.toStr()` as a unified function for logging block
numbers.
* Allow to use a logical genesis replacement (start of history)
why:
Snap sync will set up an arbitrary pivot at a block number different
from zero. In fact, the higher the block number the better.
details:
A non-genesis start of history will currently only affect the score
values which were derived from the difficulty.
* Provide function to store the snap pivot block header in chain db
why:
Together with the start of history facility, this allows to proceed
with full syncing once snap has finished.
details:
Snap db storage was switched from a sub-tables to the flat chain db.
* Provide database completeness and sanity checker
details:
For debugging on smaller databases, only
* Implement snap -> full sync switch
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.
* Gwei conversion should use u256 because u64 can overflow.
* Make withdrawals follow the EIP-158 state-clearing rules.
(i.e. Empty accounts should be deleted.)
* Allow the zero address in normalizeNumber.
(Necessary for one of the new withdrawals-related tests.)
* Another fix with a withdrawals-related test.
* Gwei conversion should use u256 because u64 can overflow.
* Make withdrawals follow the EIP-158 state-clearing rules.
(i.e. Empty accounts should be deleted.)
* Allow the zero address in normalizeNumber.
(Necessary for one of the new withdrawals-related tests.)
* Part of EIP-4895: add withdrawals processing to block processing.
* Refactoring: extracted the engine API handler bodies into procs.
Intending to implement the V2 versions next. (I need the bodies to be
in separate procs so that multiple versions can use them.)
* Working on Engine API changes for Shanghai.
* Updated nim-web3, resolved ambiguity in Hash256 type.
* Updated nim-eth3 to point to master, now that I've merged that.
* I'm confused about what's going on with engine_client.
But let's try resolving this Hash256 ambiguity.
* Still trying to fix this conflict with the Hash256 types.
* Does this work now that nimbus-eth2 has been updated?
* Corrected blockValue in getPayload responses back to UInt256.
c834f67a37
* Working on getting the withdrawals-related tests to pass.
* Fixing more of those Hash256 ambiguities.
(I'm not sure why the nim-web3 library introduced a conflicting type
named Hash256, but right now I just want to get this code to compile again.)
* Bumped a couple of libraries to fix some error messages.
* Needed to get "make fluffy-tools" to pass, too.
* Getting "make nimbus_verified_proxy" to build.
* Refactoring in preparation for time-based forking.
* Timestamp-based hard-fork-transition.
* Workaround SideEffect issue / compiler bug for both failing locations in Portal history code

* 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
