It is a utility which can 1. Take a prestate, including - Accounts, - Block context information, - Previous blockshashes (*optional) 2. Apply a set of transactions, 3. Apply a mining-reward (*optional), 4. And generate a post-state, including - State root, transaction root, receipt root, - Information about rejected transactions, - Optionally: a full or partial post-state dump ## Specification The idea is to specify the behaviour of this binary very _strict_, so that other node implementors can build replicas based on their own state-machines, and the state generators can swap between a \`geth\`-based implementation and a \`parityvm\`-based implementation. ### Command line params Command line params that has to be supported are $(tick) ` ./evm t8n -h | grep "trace\|output\|state\."` $(tick) ### Error codes and output All logging should happen against the \`stderr\`. There are a few (not many) errors that can occur, those are defined below. #### EVM-based errors (\`2\` to \`9\`) - Other EVM error. Exit code \`2\` - Failed configuration: when a non-supported or invalid fork was specified. Exit code \`3\`. - Block history is not supplied, but needed for a \`BLOCKHASH\` operation. If \`BLOCKHASH\` is invoked targeting a block which history has not been provided for, the program will exit with code \`4\`. #### IO errors (\`10\`-\`20\`) - Invalid input json: the supplied data could not be marshalled. The program will exit with code \`10\` - IO problems: failure to load or save files, the program will exit with code \`11\` EOF # This should exit with 3 ./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/1/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/1/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/1/env.json --state.fork=Frontier+1346 2>/dev/null if [ $? != 3 ]; then echo "Failed, exitcode should be 3" fi cat << EOF ## Examples ### Basic usage Invoking it with the provided example files EOF cmd="./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/1/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/1/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/1/env.json" tick;echo "$cmd"; tick $cmd 2>/dev/null echo "Two resulting files:" echo "" showjson alloc.json showjson result.json echo "" echo "We can make them spit out the data to e.g. \`stdout\` like this:" cmd="./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/1/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/1/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/1/env.json --output.result=stdout --output.alloc=stdout" tick;echo "$cmd"; tick output=`$cmd 2>/dev/null` echo "Output:" echo "${ticks}json" echo "$output" echo "$ticks" cat << EOF ## About Ommers Mining rewards and ommer rewards might need to be added. This is how those are applied: - \`block_reward\` is the block mining reward for the miner (\`0xaa\`), of a block at height \`N\`. - For each ommer (mined by \`0xbb\`), with blocknumber \`N-delta\` - (where \`delta\` is the difference between the current block and the ommer) - The account \`0xbb\` (ommer miner) is awarded \`(8-delta)/ 8 * block_reward\` - The account \`0xaa\` (block miner) is awarded \`block_reward / 32\` To make \`state_t8n\` apply these, the following inputs are required: - \`state.reward\` - For ethash, it is \`5000000000000000000\` \`wei\`, - If this is not defined, mining rewards are not applied, - A value of \`0\` is valid, and causes accounts to be 'touched'. - For each ommer, the tool needs to be given an \`address\` and a \`delta\`. This is done via the \`env\`. Note: the tool does not verify that e.g. the normal uncle rules apply, and allows e.g two uncles at the same height, or the uncle-distance. This means that the tool allows for negative uncle reward (distance > 8) Example: EOF showjson ./testdata/5/env.json echo "When applying this, using a reward of \`0x08\`" cmd="./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/5/alloc.json -input.txs=./testdata/5/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/5/env.json --output.alloc=stdout --state.reward=0x80" output=`$cmd 2>/dev/null` echo "Output:" echo "${ticks}json" echo "$output" echo "$ticks" echo "### Future EIPS" echo "" echo "It is also possible to experiment with future eips that are not yet defined in a hard fork." echo "Example, putting EIP-1344 into Frontier: " cmd="./evm t8n --state.fork=Frontier+1344 --input.pre=./testdata/1/pre.json --input.txs=./testdata/1/txs.json --input.env=/testdata/1/env.json" tick;echo "$cmd"; tick echo "" echo "### Block history" echo "" echo "The \`BLOCKHASH\` opcode requires blockhashes to be provided by the caller, inside the \`env\`." echo "If a required blockhash is not provided, the exit code should be \`4\`:" echo "Example where blockhashes are provided: " cmd="./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/3/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/3/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/3/env.json --trace" tick && echo $cmd && tick $cmd 2>&1 >/dev/null cmd="cat trace-0-0x72fadbef39cd251a437eea619cfeda752271a5faaaa2147df012e112159ffb81.jsonl | grep BLOCKHASH -C2" tick && echo $cmd && tick echo "$ticks" cat trace-0-0x72fadbef39cd251a437eea619cfeda752271a5faaaa2147df012e112159ffb81.jsonl | grep BLOCKHASH -C2 echo "$ticks" echo "" echo "In this example, the caller has not provided the required blockhash:" cmd="./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/4/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/4/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/4/env.json --trace" tick && echo $cmd && tick tick $cmd errc=$? tick echo "Error code: $errc" echo "### Chaining" echo "" echo "Another thing that can be done, is to chain invocations:" cmd1="./evm t8n --input.alloc=./testdata/1/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/1/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/1/env.json --output.alloc=stdout" cmd2="./evm t8n --input.alloc=stdin --input.env=./testdata/1/env.json --input.txs=./testdata/1/txs.json" echo "$ticks" echo "$cmd1 | $cmd2" output=$($cmd1 | $cmd2 ) echo $output echo "$ticks" echo "What happened here, is that we first applied two identical transactions, so the second one was rejected.
