* Aristo: Re-phrase `LayerDelta` and `LayerFinal` as object references why: Avoids copying in some cases * Fix copyright header * Aristo: Verify `leafTie.root` function argument for `merge()` proc why: Zero root will lead to inconsistent DB entry * Aristo: Update failure condition for hash labels compiler `hashify()` why: Node need not be rejected as long as links are on the schedule. In that case, `redo[]` is to become `wff.base[]` at a later stage. This amends an earlier fix, part of #1952 by also testing against the target nodes of the `wff.base[]` sets. * Aristo: Add storage root glue record to `hashify()` schedule why: An account leaf node might refer to a non-resolvable storage root ID. Storage root node chains will end up at the storage root. So the link `storage-root->account-leaf` needs an extra item in the schedule. * Aristo: fix error code returned by `fetchPayload()` details: Final error code is implied by the error code form the `hikeUp()` function. * CoreDb: Discard `createOk` argument in API `getRoot()` function why: Not needed for the legacy DB. For the `Arsto` DB, a lazy approach is implemented where a stprage root node is created on-the-fly. * CoreDb: Prevent `$$` logging in some cases why: Logging the function `$$` is not useful when it is used for internal use, i.e. retrieving an an error text for logging. * CoreDb: Add `tryHashFn()` to API for pretty printing why: Pretty printing must not change the hashification status for the `Aristo` DB. So there is an independent API wrapper for getting the node hash which never updated the hashes. * CoreDb: Discard `update` argument in API `hash()` function why: When calling the API function `hash()`, the latest state is always wanted. For a version that uses the current state as-is without checking, the function `tryHash()` was added to the backend. * CoreDb: Update opaque vertex ID objects for the `Aristo` backend why: For `Aristo`, vID objects encapsulate a numeric `VertexID` referencing a vertex (rather than a node hash as used on the legacy backend.) For storage sub-tries, there might be no initial vertex known when the descriptor is created. So opaque vertex ID objects are supported without a valid `VertexID` which will be initalised on-the-fly when the first item is merged. * CoreDb: Add pretty printer for opaque vertex ID objects * Cosmetics, printing profiling data * CoreDb: Fix segfault in `Aristo` backend when creating MPT descriptor why: Missing initialisation error * CoreDb: Allow MPT to inherit shared context on `Aristo` backend why: Creates descriptors with different storage roots for the same shared `Aristo` DB descriptor. * Cosmetics, update diagnostic message items for `Aristo` backend * Fix Copyright year |

Core database replacement wrapper object
This wrapper replaces the TrieDatabaseRef and its derivatives by the new object CoreDbRef.
Relations to current TrieDatabaseRef implementation
Here are some incomplete translations for objects and constructors.
Object types:
| Legacy notation | CoreDbRef based replacement |
|---|---|
| ChainDB | (don't use/avoid) |
| ChainDbRef | CoreDbRef |
| TrieDatabaseRef | CoreDbKvtRef |
| HexaryTrie | CoreDbMptRef |
| SecureHexaryTrie | CoreDbPhkRef |
| DbTransaction | CoreDbTxRef |
| TransactionID | CoreDbTxID |
Constructors:
| Legacy notation | CoreDbRef based replacement |
|---|---|
| trieDB newChainDB("..") | newCoreDbRef(LegacyDbPersistent,"..") |
| newMemoryDB() | newCoreDbRef(LegacyDbMemory) |
| -- | |
| initHexaryTrie(db,..) | db.mpt(..) (no pruning) |
| db.mptPrune(..) (w/pruning true/false) | |
| -- | |
| initSecureHexaryTrie(db,..) | db.phk(..) (no pruning) |
| db.phkPrune(..) (w/pruning true/false) | |
| -- | |
| newCaptureDB(db,memDB) | db.capture() (see below) |
Usage of the replacement wrapper
Objects pedigree:
CoreDbRef -- base descriptor
| | | |
| | | +-- CoreDbMptRef -- hexary trie instance
| | | | : :
| | | +-- CoreDbMptRef -- hexary trie instance
| | |
| | |
| | +---- CoreDbPhkRef -- pre-hashed key hexary trie instance
| | | : :
| | +---- CoreDbPhkRef -- pre-hashed key hexary trie instance
| |
| |
| +------ CoreDbKvtRef -- single static key-value table
|
|
+-------- CoreDbCaptRef -- tracer support descriptor
Instantiating standard database object descriptors works as follows:
let
db = newCoreDbRef(..) # new base descriptor
mpt = db.mpt(..) # hexary trie/Merkle Patricia Tree
phk = db.phk(..) # pre-hashed key hexary trie/MPT
kvt = db.kvt # key-value table
Tracer support setup by hiding the current CoreDbRef behind a replacement:
let
capture = db.capture()
db = capture.recorder # use the recorder in place of db
...
for key,value in capture.recorder.kvt:
... # process recorded data
