The current trie memory database/cache that we do pruning on stores
trie nodes as binary rlp encoded blobs, and also stores the node
relationships/references for GC purposes. However, most of the trie
nodes (everything apart from a value node) is in essence just a
collection of references.
This PR switches out the RLP encoded trie blobs with the
collapsed-but-not-serialized trie nodes. This permits most of the
references to be recovered from within the node data structure,
avoiding the need to track them a second time (expensive memory wise).
This removes a golint warning: type name will be used as trie.TrieSync by
other packages, and that stutters; consider calling this Sync.
In hexToKeybytes len(hex) is even and (even+1)/2 == even/2, remove the +1.
* common: delete StringToAddress, StringToHash
These functions are confusing because they don't parse hex, but use the
bytes of the string. This change removes them, replacing all uses of
StringToAddress(s) by BytesToAddress([]byte(s)).
* eth/filters: remove incorrect use of common.BytesToAddress
The first should address a long term issue where we recommend a gas
price that is greater than that required for 50% of transactions in
recent blocks, which can lead to gas price inflation as people take
this figure and add a margin to it, resulting in a positive feedback
loop.
* core/types, core/vm, eth, tests: regenerate gencodec files
* Makefile: update devtools target
Install protoc-gen-go and print reminders about npm, solc and protoc.
Also switch to github.com/kevinburke/go-bindata because it's more
maintained.
* contracts/ens: update contracts and regenerate with solidity v0.4.19
The newer upstream version of the FIFSRegistrar contract doesn't set the
resolver anymore. The resolver is now deployed separately.
* contracts/release: regenerate with solidity v0.4.19
* contracts/chequebook: fix fallback and regenerate with solidity v0.4.19
The contract didn't have a fallback function, payments would be rejected
when compiled with newer solidity. References to 'mortal' and 'owned'
use the local file system so we can compile without network access.
* p2p/discv5: regenerate with recent stringer
* cmd/faucet: regenerate
* dashboard: regenerate
* eth/tracers: regenerate
* internal/jsre/deps: regenerate
* dashboard: avoid sed -i because it's not portable
* accounts/usbwallet/internal/trezor: fix go generate warnings
