* cmd, consensus, eth: split ethash related config to it own
* eth, consensus: minor polish
* eth, consenus, console: compress pow testing config field to single one
* consensus, eth: document pow mode
* cmd, consensus, core, miner: instatx clique for --dev
* cmd, consensus, clique: support configurable --dev block times
* cmd, core: allow --dev to use persistent storage too
* core: reduce txpool event loop goroutines and sync structs
* cmd, core, eth: journal local transactions to disk
* core: journal replacement pending transactions too
* core: separate transaction journal from pool
Currently http cors and websocket origins are a comma separated string in the
config object. These are replaced with string arrays that are more expressive in
case of a config file.
* p2p/discover, p2p/discv5: add marshaling methods to Node
* p2p/netutil: make Netlist decodable from TOML
* common/math: encode nil HexOrDecimal256 as 0x0
* cmd/geth: add --config file flag
* cmd/geth: add missing license header
* eth: prettify Config again, fix tests
* eth: use gasprice.Config instead of duplicating its fields
* eth/gasprice: hide nil default from dumpconfig output
* cmd/geth: hide genesis block in dumpconfig output
* node: make tests compile
* console: fix tests
* cmd/geth: make TOML keys look exactly like Go struct fields
* p2p: use discovery by default
This makes the zero Config slightly more useful. It also fixes package
node tests because Node detects reuse of the datadir through the
NodeDatabase.
* cmd/geth: make ethstats URL settable through config file
* cmd/faucet: fix configuration
* cmd/geth: dedup attach tests
* eth: add comment for DefaultConfig
* eth: pass downloader.SyncMode in Config
This removes the FastSync, LightSync flags in favour of a more
general SyncMode flag.
* cmd/utils: remove jitvm flags
* cmd/utils: make mutually exclusive flag error prettier
It now reads:
Fatal: flags --dev, --testnet can't be used at the same time
* p2p: fix typo
* node: add DefaultConfig, use it for geth
* mobile: add missing NoDiscovery option
* cmd/utils: drop MakeNode
This exposed a couple of places that needed to be updated to use
node.DefaultConfig.
* node: fix typo
* eth: make fast sync the default mode
* cmd/utils: remove IPCApiFlag (unused)
* node: remove default IPC path
Set it in the frontends instead.
* cmd/geth: add --syncmode
* cmd/utils: make --ipcdisable and --ipcpath mutually exclusive
* cmd/utils: don't enable WS, HTTP when setting addr
* cmd/utils: fix --identity
This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
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.
* accounts, cmd, eth, ethdb: port logs over to new system
* ethdb: drop concept of cache distribution between dbs
* eth: fix some log nitpicks to make them nicer
* common: remove CurrencyToString
Move denomination values to params instead.
* common: delete dead code
* common: move big integer operations to common/math
This commit consolidates all big integer operations into common/math and
adds tests and documentation.
There should be no change in semantics for BigPow, BigMin, BigMax, S256,
U256, Exp and their behaviour is now locked in by tests.
The BigD, BytesToBig and Bytes2Big functions don't provide additional
value, all uses are replaced by new(big.Int).SetBytes().
BigToBytes is now called PaddedBigBytes, its minimum output size
parameter is now specified as the number of bytes instead of bits. The
single use of this function is in the EVM's MSTORE instruction.
Big and String2Big are replaced by ParseBig, which is slightly stricter.
It previously accepted leading zeros for hexadecimal inputs but treated
decimal inputs as octal if a leading zero digit was present.
ParseUint64 is used in places where String2Big was used to decode a
uint64.
The new functions MustParseBig and MustParseUint64 are now used in many
places where parsing errors were previously ignored.
* common: delete unused big integer variables
* accounts/abi: replace uses of BytesToBig with use of encoding/binary
* common: remove BytesToBig
* common: remove Bytes2Big
* common: remove BigTrue
* cmd/utils: add BigFlag and use it for error-checked integer flags
While here, remove environment variable processing for DirectoryFlag
because we don't use it.
* core: add missing error checks in genesis block parser
* common: remove String2Big
* cmd/evm: use utils.BigFlag
* common/math: check for 256 bit overflow in ParseBig
This is supposed to prevent silent overflow/truncation of values in the
genesis block JSON. Without this check, a genesis block that set a
balance larger than 256 bits would lead to weird behaviour in the VM.
* cmd/utils: fixup import
