Felix Lange	37dd9086ec	core: refactor genesis handling ... This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block: * Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional checks performed by geth. * Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type instead. * If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to the point of the fork when upgrading configuration. The change to genesis block data removes compression library dependencies from package core.	8 years ago
Felix Lange	c213fd1fd8	all: import "context" instead of "golang.org/x/net/context" ... There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context and it is now vendored in the normal way. This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.	8 years ago

Felix Lange	c97df052a9	accounts/abi/bind: add utilities for waiting on transactions ... The need for these functions comes up in code that actually deploys and uses contracts. As of this commit, they can be used with both SimulatedBackend and ethclient. SimulatedBackend gains some additional methods in the process and is now safe for concurrent use.	8 years ago
