The account manager was previously created by packge cmd/utils as part
of flag processing and then passed down into eth.Ethereum through its
config struct. Since we are starting to create nodes which do not have
eth.Ethereum as a registered service, the code was rearranged to
register the account manager as its own service. Making it a service is
ugly though and it doesn't really fix the root cause: creating nodes
without eth.Ethereum requires duplicating lots of code.
This commit splits utils.MakeSystemNode into three functions, making
creation of other node/service configurations easier. It also moves the
account manager into Node so it can be used by those configurations
without requiring package eth.
This implements a generic approach to enabling soft forks by allowing
anyone to put in hashes of contracts that should not be interacted from.
This will help "The DAO" in their endevour to stop any whithdrawals from
any DAO contract by convincing the mining community to accept their code
hash.
This fixes an issue if you wanted to test out code deployment rather
than running a piece of code with an argument. This solves it by adding
a --create flag that indicates the Create function should be used rather
than the Call function.
This also adds a statedb.commit call so that the proper state can be
dumped when requested using the --dump flag.
We used to have reporting of bad blocks, but it was disabled
before the Frontier release. We need it back because users
are usually unable to provide the full RLP data of a bad
block when it occurs.
A shortcoming of this particular implementation is that the
origin peer is not tracked for blocks received during eth/63
sync. No origin peer info is still better than no report at
all though.
Calls to 'personal' API should be excluded from console history because
they can be called with an account passphrase as argument. The check for
such calls was inverted and didn't work.
geth js stopped the JS runtime after running the first input file
and blocked for pending callbacks. This commit makes it process
all files and enables quitting with Ctrl-C regardless of callbacks.
Error reporting is also improved. If a script fails to load, the error
is printed and includes the backtrace. package jsre now ensures that
otto is aware of the filename, the backtrace will contain them.
Before:
$ geth js bad.js; echo "exit $?"
... log messages ...
exit 0
After:
$ geth js bad.js; echo "exit $?"
... log messages ...
