We make it explicit in the appropriate Block/Transaction structures, not via a
singleton as C# node does. I think this approach has a bit more potential and
allows better packages reuse for different purposes.
And implement it for Transaction, the only user of ParameterContext for
now. Which make correct signing/verifying possible for cases when
serialization for general transmission and signing differ.
Two changes being done here, because they require a lot of updates to
tests. Now we're back into version 0 and we only have one type of
transaction.
It also removes GetType and GetScript interops, both are obsolete in Neo 3.
1. closes#841
2. Commented out test cases where binary transaction are used.
These test cases marked with `TODO NEO3.0: Update binary` and need to be
updated.
3. Updated other tests.
4. Added cache to calculateValidUntilBlock() RPC-client method.
1. Closes#840: added Nonce field to transaction.Transaction and
removed Nonce field from transaction.MinerTx
2. Added following methods to different tx types:
- NewMinerTx()
- NewMinerTxWithNonce(...)
- NewEnrollmentTx(...)
- NewIssueTx()
- NewPublishTx(...)
- NewRegisterTx(...)
- NewStateTx(...)
in order to avoid code duplication when new transaction is created.
3. Commented out test cases where binary transaction/block are used.
These test cases marked with `TODO NEO3.0: Update binary` and need to be
updated.
4. Updated other tests
5. Added constant Nonce to GoveringTockenTx, UtilityTokenTx and genesis
block to avoid data variability. Also marked with TODO.
Frequently one needs to check if struct serializes/deserializes
properly. This commit implements helpers for such cases including:
1. JSON
2. io.Serializable interface
Both verification and invocation scripts need to
be unmarshaled from hex.
Also fix failing RPC tests: block contains non-pointer
`transaction.Witness` field and (*Witness).MarshalJSON method
is not called.
- Attribute should have 2 fields (usage, data)
- VOut should have 4 (5) fields (asset, value, address, n)
- Script should have 2 fields (invocation, verification)
go vet is not happy about them:
pkg/io/binaryReader.go:92:21: method ReadByte() byte should have signature ReadByte() (byte, error)
pkg/io/binaryWriter.go:75:21: method WriteByte(u8 byte) should have signature WriteByte(byte) error
This seriously improves the serialization/deserialization performance for
several reasons:
* no time spent in `binary` reflection
* no memory allocations being made on every read/write
* uses fast ReadBytes everywhere it's appropriate
It also makes Fixed8 Serializable just for convenience.
It makes very little sense having pointers here, these structures MUST have
some kind of key and this key is not gonna be wandering somewhere on its
own. Fixes a part of #519.
It reduces heap pressure a little for these elements as we don't have to
allocate/free them individually. And they're directly tied to transactions or
block, not being shared or anything like that, so it makes little sense for
them to be pointer-based. It only makes building transactions a little easier,
but that's obviously a minor usecase.
Before this patch on block import we could easily be spending more than 6
seconds out of 30 in Uint256 encoding for UnspentBalance, now it's completely
off the radar.
NewInvocationTX() returned a version number one transaction that actually
failed to pass that version down to the invocation data which lead to
serialization/deserialization inconsistency.
It's mostly used for Serializable and in other cases where one needs to
estimate binary-encoded size of the stucture. This also simplifies future
removal of the Size() from Serializable.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
pkg/core/transaction/attribute.go:67:14: should omit type uint8 from declaration of var urllen; it will be inferred from the right-hand side
pkg/crypto/keys/publickey.go:184:8: should omit type []byte from declaration of var b; it will be inferred from the right-hand side
pkg/network/payload/version_test.go:15:12: should omit type bool from declaration of var relay; it will be inferred from the right-hand side
Refs. #213.
Fixes things like:
* exported type/method/function X should have comment or be unexported
* comment on exported type/method/function X should be of the form "X ..."
(with optional leading article)
Refs. #213.
And drop associated _pkg.dev remnants (refs. #307).
Original `dev` branch had two separate packages for public and private keys,
but those are so intertwined (`TestHelper` subpackage is a proof) that it's
better unite them and all associated code (like WIF and NEP-2) in one
package. This patch also:
* creates internal `keytestcases` package to share things with wallet (maybe
it'll be changed in some future)
* ports some tests from `dev`
* ports Verify() method for public key from `dev`
* expands TestPrivateKey() with public key check
Simplifies a lot of code and removes some duplication. Unfortunately I had to
move test_util random functions in same commit to avoid cycle
dependencies. One of these random functions was also used in core/transaction
testing, to simplify things I've just dropped it there and used a static
string (which is nice to have for a test anyway).
There is still sha256 left in wallet (but it needs to pass Hash structure into
the signing function).
