This CL makes several refactors:
- Define a Tracer interface, implementing the `CaptureState` method
- Add the VM environment as the first argument of
`Tracer.CaptureState`
- Rename existing functionality `StructLogger` an make it an
implementation of `Tracer`
- Delete `StructLogCollector` and make `StructLogger` collect the logs
directly
- Change all callers to use the new `StructLogger` where necessary and
extract logs from that.
- Deletes the apparently obsolete and likely nonfunctional 'TraceCall'
from the eth API.
Callers that only wish accumulated logs can use the `StructLogger`
implementation straightforwardly. Callers that wish to efficiently
capture VM traces and operate on them without excessive copying can now
implement the `Tracer` interface to receive VM state at each step and
do with it as they wish.
This CL also removes the accumulation of logs from the vm.Environment;
this was necessary as part of the refactor, but also simplifies it by
removing a responsibility that doesn't directly belong to the
Environment.
Support for legacy version 0.9.x is gone. The compiler version is no
longer cached. Compilation results (and the version) are read directly
from stdout using the --combined-json flag. As a workaround for
ethereum/solidity#651, source code is written to a temporary file before
compilation.
Integration of solc in package ethapi and cmd/abigen is now much simpler
because the compiler wrapper is no longer passed around as a pointer.
Fixes#2806, accidentally
The account manager was previously created by packge cmd/utils as part
of flag processing and then passed down into eth.Ethereum through its
config struct. Since we are starting to create nodes which do not have
eth.Ethereum as a registered service, the code was rearranged to
register the account manager as its own service. Making it a service is
ugly though and it doesn't really fix the root cause: creating nodes
without eth.Ethereum requires duplicating lots of code.
This commit splits utils.MakeSystemNode into three functions, making
creation of other node/service configurations easier. It also moves the
account manager into Node so it can be used by those configurations
without requiring package eth.
Consensus rules dictate that objects can only be removed during the
finalisation of the transaction (i.e. after all calls have finished).
Thus calling a suicided contract twice from the same transaction:
A->B(S)->ret(A)->B(S) results in 2 suicides. Calling the suicided
object twice from two transactions: A->B(S), A->B, results in only one
suicide and a call to an empty object.
Our current debug tracing functionality replays all transaction that
were executed prior to the targetted transaction in order to provide
the user with an accurate trace.
As a side effect to calling StateDB.IntermediateRoot it also deletes any
suicides objects. Our tracing code never calls this function because it
isn't interested in the intermediate root. Becasue of this it caused a
bug in the tracing code where transactions that were send to priviously
deleted objects resulted in two suicides rather than one suicide and a
call to an empty object.
