`scanf` apparently has both a `bool` return as well as raising random
exceptions depending on what functions get called by the `macro`.
To make this explicit, catch the `ValueError` from the generated
`parseInt` call, to separate `scanf` behaviour from the actual SSZ
test logic. In the end, it mostly doesn't matter as there are some
`doAssert wasMatched` on the next line (not everywhere though).
But it still makes the `scanf` internals explicit, so is clearer.
Add `{.raises.}` annotations to `tests` files where needed to enable
`{.push raises: [].}`. Avoids interfering with periodic changes such as
spec version bumps, and avoids special casing folders when editing.
The effort to maintain `{.raises.}` is trivial after the initial round.
`stderr.write` may fail, e.g., if no tty is connected, which may happen
in some CI configurations. Discard such failures and continue quitting
instead of raising the error.
Finish the rename started in #4809 to have a consistent naming.
`ExecutionPayloadHash` suggests hash over payload instead of block.
`BlockHash` is also the canonical name in engine API.
The templates for `BeaconBlock`, `BeaconBlockBody` and `BeaconState`
are the only ones using a `macro` mechanism for code generation.
This prevents using the dot-syntax style `consensusFork.BeaconFoo`
in some situations, and also tends to trigger naming conflicts,
requiring the `Type` suffix. Furthermore, the `macro` only works
for types that are re-defined in every single `ConsensusFork`.
Replacing with the simpler but more verbose approach used for other
types for consistency and to avoid the downsides of the `macro`.
Furthermore, simplify `test_fixture_sanity_blocks` to use `forks` sugar.
Directly initialize `ForkedLightClientObj` instead of separately first
setting the `kind` (initializing everything to zero) and then assigning
the forky data after that.
For symmetry with `forkyState` when using `withState`, and to avoid
problems with shadowing of `blck` when using `withBlck` in `template`,
also rename the injected `blck` to `forkyBlck`.

To allow testing https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/3466
add support for selecting fork choice version at launch. This means we
can deploy a different logic when `DENEB_FORK_EPOCH != FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH`
that won't be used on Mainnet.
In Nim 2.0, the `test_fixture_operations` files fail to compile with:
```
Error: 'result' is of type <Result[system.void, system.cstring]> which cannot be captured as it would violate memory safety, declared here: /nimbus-eth2/tests/consensus_spec/bellatrix/test_fixture_operations.nim(130, 5); using '-d:nimNoLentIterators' helps in some cases. Consider using a <ref Result[system.void, system.cstring]> which can be captured.
```
Wrapping the `applyExecutionPayload` in a factory that takes `path`
avoids this problem.
Suite names were not being used because `test` has to have access to it
during instantiation - this PR cleans things up a little while at the
same time upgrading unittest2.
* async batch verification
When batch verification is done, the main thread is blocked reducing
concurrency.
With this PR, the new thread signalling primitive in chronos is used to
offload the full batch verification process to a separate thread
allowing the main threads to continue async operations while the other
threads verify signatures.
Similar to previous behavior, the number of ongoing batch verifications
is capped to prevent runaway resource usage.
In addition to the asynchronous processing, 3 addition changes help
drive throughput:
* A loop is used for batch accumulation: this prevents a stampede of
small batches in eager mode where both the eager and the scheduled batch
runner would pick batches off the queue, prematurely picking "fresh"
batches off the queue
* An additional small wait is introduced for small batches - this helps
create slightly larger batches which make better used of the increased
concurrency
* Up to 2 batches are scheduled to the threadpool during high pressure,
reducing startup latency for the threads
Together, these changes increase attestation verification throughput
under load up to 30%.
* fixup
* Update submodules
* fix blst build issues (and a PIC warning)
* bump

This PR removes a few hundred thousand temporary seq allocations during
state transition - in particular, the flag seq was allocated per
validator while committees are computed per attestation.
We have several modules that import `nim-eth` for the sole purpose of
its `keys.newRng` function. This function is meanwhile a simple wrapper
around `nim-bearssl`'s `HmacDrbgContext.new()`, so the import doesn't
really serve a use anymore. Replace `keys.newRng` with the direct call
to reduce `nim-eth` imports.
* require sync committee supermajority in CI
To better catch problems with sync committee messages in CI, extend
local testnet simulation to also verify that each block is signed
by a supermajority of the sync committee.
Requires #5083 and #5084
* lint
The consensus-spec-tests already cover the scenarios of our custom test
runner, so the custom tests can be removed. Also cleans up unused config
flags and related unreachable logic.
Just the variable, not yet `lcDataForkAtStateFork` / `atStateFork`.
- Shorten comment in `light_client.nim` to keep line width
- Do not rename `stateFork` mention in `runProposalForkchoiceUpdated`.
- Do not rename `stateFork` in `getStateField(dag.headState, fork)`
Rest is just a mechanical mass replace
Other changes:
Renamed the `EIP_4844_FORK_*` config constants to `DENEB_FORK_*` as
this matches the latest spec and it's already used in the official
Sepolia config.
When running `nimbus_light_client`, we persist the latest header from
`LightClientStore.finalized_header` in a database across restarts.
Because the data format is derived from the latest `LightClientStore`,
this could lead to data being persisted in pre-release formats.
To enable us to test later `LightClientStore` versions on devnets,
transition to a `ForkedLightClientStore` internally that is only
migrated to newer forks on-demand (instead of starting at latest).
Distinguish between those code locations that need to be updated on each
light client data format change, and those others that should generally
be fine, as long as a valid light client object is processed.
The former are tagged with static assert for `LightClientDataFork.high`.
The latter are changed to `lcDataFork > LightClientDataFork.None` to
indicate that they depend only on presence of any valid object.
Also bundled a few minor cleanups and fixes.
Also add `Forky` type for `LightClientStore` and minor fixes / cleanups.
The light client data structures were changed to accommodate additional
fields in future forks (e.g., to also hold execution data).
There is a minor change to the JSON serialization, where the `header`
properties are now nested inside a `LightClientHeader`.
The SSZ serialization remains compatible.
