The key idea here is that even though we can't ensure MPT code won't make the
node active again we can order the changes made to the persistent store in
such a way that it practically doesn't matter. What happens is:
* after persist if it's time to collect our garbage we do it synchronously
right in the same thread working the underlying persistent store directly
* all the other node code doesn't see much of it, it works with bc.dao or
layers above it
* if MPT doesn't find some stale deactivated node in the storage it's OK,
it'll recreate it in bc.dao
* if MPT finds it and activates it, it's OK too, bc.dao will store it
* while GC is being performed nothing else changes the persistent store
* all subsequent bc.dao persists only happen after the GC is completed which
means that any changes to the (potentially) deleted nodes have a priority,
it's OK for GC to delete something that'll be recreated with the next
persist cycle
Otherwise it's a simple scheme with node status/last active height stored in
the value. Preliminary tests show that it works ~18% worse than the simple
KeepOnlyLatest scheme, but this seems to be the best result so far.
Fixes#2095.
Unfortunately, testing this code is not possible without an additional wrapper
in `input`, but adding it just to test this seems to be too excessive. Fixes
Standards are NEP-11 and NEP-17, not NEP11, not NEP17, not anything
else. Variable/function names of course can use whatever fits, but documents
and comments should be consistent wrt this.
Notes for witnesses:
* [N sig + M multisig + K contract] combination is possible where N, M, K >=0.
* Each verification script should be properly filled in.
* Each invocation script should either be empty or contain exactly one
signature.
CLI:
* Typos are fixed
* Documentation on NEP-11 tokens is added
* NeoGo node configuration is moved to a separate file
Compiler:
* Typos and indentations are fixed
* Ops dump example is updated
Consensus:
* Typos are fixed
* Links are fixed
Notifications:
* Minor adjustments
RPC:
* `getversion` response is updated
* `getunclamedgas` comment is removed (not valid since
https://github.com/neo-project/neo-modules/pull/243)
VM:
* Update help message
* `load*` command adjustments
* `astack` command removal
Request NEP17 balances from a set of NEP17 contracts instead of getting
them from storage. LastUpdatedBlock tracking remains untouched, because
there's no way to retrieve it dynamically.
