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. Fixes #2542 |

Ethereum Go
Official golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol
| Linux | OSX | ARM | Windows | Tests
----------|---------|-----|-----|---------|------ develop | | | | | master | | | | |
Automated development builds
The following builds are build automatically by our build servers after each push to the develop branch.
Building the source
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the Installation Instructions on the wiki.
Building geth requires both a Go and a C compiler. You can install them using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run
make geth
or, to build the full suite of utilities:
make all
Executables
The go-ethereum project comes with several wrappers/executables found in the cmd
directory.
Command | Description |
---|---|
geth |
Our main Ethereum CLI client. It is the entry point into the Ethereum network (main-, test- or private net), capable of running as a full node (default) archive node (retaining all historical state) or a light node (retrieving data live). It can be used by other processes as an gateway into the Ethereum network via JSON RPC endpoints exposed on top of HTTP, WebSocket and/or IPC transports. Please see our Command Line Options wiki page for details. |
abigen |
Source code generator to convert Ethereum contract definitions into easy to use, compile-time type-safe Go packages. It operates on plain Ethereum contract ABIs with expanded functionality if the contract bytecode is also available. However it also accepts Solidity source files, making development much more streamlined. Please see our Native DApps wiki page for details. |
bootnode |
Stripped down version of our Ethereum client implementation that only takes part in the network node discovery protocol, but does not run any of the higher level application protocols. It can be used as a lightweight bootstrap node to aid in finding peers in private networks. |
disasm |
Bytecode disassembler to convert EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) bytecode into more user friendly assembly-like opcodes (e.g. `echo "6001" |
evm |
Developer utility version of the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) that is capable of running bytecode snippets within a configurable environment and execution mode. Its purpose is to allow insolated, fine graned debugging of EVM opcodes (e.g. evm --code 60ff60ff --debug ). |
gethrpctest |
Developer utility tool to support our ethereum/rpc-test test suite which validates baseline conformity to the Ethereum JSON RPC specs. Please see the test suite's readme for details. |
rlpdump |
Developer utility tool to convert binary RLP (Recursive Length Prefix) dumps (data encoding used by the Ethereum protocol both network as well as consensus wise) to user friendlier hierarchical representation (e.g. rlpdump --hex CE0183FFFFFFC4C304050583616263 ). |
Contribution
Thank you for considering to help out with the source code! We welcome contributions from anyone on the internet, and are grateful for even the smallest of fixes!
If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum, please fork, fix, commit and send a pull request for the maintainers to review and merge into the main code base. If you wish to submit more complex changes though, please check up with the core devs first on our gitter channel to ensure those changes are in line with the general philosophy of the project and/or get some early feedback which can make both your efforts much lighter as well as our review and merge procedures quick and simple.
Please make sure your contributions adhere to our coding guidelines:
- Code must adhere to the official Go formatting guidelines (i.e. uses gofmt).
- Code must be documented adhering to the official Go commentary guidelines.
- Pull requests need to be based on and opened against the
develop
branch. - Commit messages should be prefixed with the package(s) they modify.
- E.g. "eth, rpc: make trace configs optional"
Please see the Developers' Guide for more details on configuring your environment, managing project dependencies and testing procedures.
