The lack of body of `goodbye` in sync_protocol.nim was preventing
the respective LibP2P protocol to be mounted and advertised on the
network.
Adding a body fixes that, but I've also made some changes in the
P2P protocol codegen that will prevent the issue from happening
again (no body is now considered the equivalent of having an empty
body).
the cast worked around the bug at compile time by means of casting, but
introduced a runtime error, because the pre-cast type was still being
used during deserialization
- we have a new binary which connects via RPC to the respective BN and has an internal clock - waking it up on every slot
- the BN has a new option called --external-validators and currently in order to have the VC binaries to run we need to pass EXTERNAL_VALIDATORS=yes to make
- factored some code out of beacon_node.nim for easier reuse in validator_api.nim and validator_client.nim
- the VC loads its associated private keys from the datadir for its BN
- most of the validator API calls have been implemented as a stub.
- the VC polls its BN at the start of each epoch - getting a list of all active validators for the current epoch - and then continues to request blocks and sign them with its appropriate validators when necessary
* in makeBeaconBlock - use rollback instead
* in tests - this helps state_sim give more accurate data and makes it
30% faster
* fix some usages of raw BeaconState
* update more spec refs in beacon_chain/spec/presets; skip skipped constant sanity checks also from markdown reports' perspectives
* mark skipped as skipped in markdown
* Fix nbench compilation with HashedBeaconState
* Add nbench to tooling
* use newClone - fix 265e01e404 (r425198575)
* Detail advance_slot and hashTreeRoot
* Report throughput
* Fallback for ARM
* windows does not support inline ASM
The work on this was started last week while I was waiting
for a decision on the "Async Snappy" PR. It was prompted by
a failing test in the test suite, where the HashingStream
was inserting some incorrectly padded chunks that affected
the result of `hash_tree_root`. Instead of working around
the problem in the HashingStream, I've decided to implement
a planned optimisation that allows us to remove the hashing
stream altogether.
With the optimisation in place, `hash_tree_root` will now
use only stack memory and only the precise amount neccesary
to build the chunks-merging tree.
