This removes the burden on a single object to take care of all
validation and state processing. Now instead the validation is done by
the `core.BlockValidator` (`types.Validator`) that takes care of both
header and uncle validation through the `ValidateBlock` method and state
validation through the `ValidateState` method. The state processing is
done by a new object `core.StateProcessor` (`types.Processor`) and
accepts a new state as input and uses that to process the given block's
transactions (and uncles for rewords) to calculate the state root for
the next block (P_n + 1).
Log filtering is now using a MIPmap like approach where addresses of
logs are added to a mapped bloom bin. The current levels for the MIP are
in ranges of 1.000.000, 500.000, 100.000, 50.000, 1.000. Logs are
therefor filtered in batches of 1.000.
This PR solves an issue with the chain manager posting a
`RemovedTransactionEvent`, the tx pool will try to
acquire the chainmanager lock which has previously been locked prior to
posting `RemovedTransactionEvent`. This results in a deadlock in the
core.
The test genesis block was not written properly, block insertion failed
immediately.
While here, fix the panic when shutting down "geth blocktest" with
Ctrl+C. The signal handler is now installed automatically, causing
ethereum.Stop to crash because everything is already stopped.
Added a `Difference` method to `types.Transactions` which sets the
receiver to the difference of a to b (NOTE: not a **and** b).
Transaction pool subscribes to RemovedTransactionEvent adding back to
those potential missing from the chain.
When a chain re-org occurs remove any transactions that were removed
from the canonical chain during the re-org as well as the receipts that
were generated in the process.
Closes#1746
The running flag will determine whether the chain manager is still
running or not. This will prevent the quit channel from being closed
twice resulting in a panic. This PR should fix this issue.
Closes#1559
Added PutBlockReceipts; storing receipts by blocks. Eventually this will
require pruning during some cleanup cycle. During forks the receipts by
block are used to get the new canonical receipts and transactions.
This PR fixes#1473 by rewriting transactions and receipts from the point
of where the fork occured.
* Miners do now verify their own header, not their state.
* Changed old putTx and putReceipts to be exported
* Moved writing of transactions and receipts out of the block processer
in to the chain manager. Closes#1386
* Miner post ChainHeadEvent & ChainEvent. Closes#1388
This fixes an issue with the lru cache not being available when calling
WriteBlock. WriteBlock previously always assumed to be called from the
InsertChain where the lru cache was always created prior to calling
WriteBlock. When being called from the worker this could lead in to a
nil pointer exception being thrown and causing database corruption.
