Fixes#809.
Basically, there are three alternative approaches to fixing it:
* allowing both []byte and string for ByteArrayType value
minimal invasion into existing code, but ugly as hell and will probably
backfire at some point
* storing string values in ByteArrayType
incurs quite a number of type conversions (and associated data copying),
though note that these values are not changed usually, so dynamic
properties of []byte are almost irrelevant here
* storing only []byte values in ByteArrayType
makes it impossible to use them as map keys which can be solved in several
ways:
- via an interface (Marshalable)
which is good, but makes testing and comparing values in general harder,
because of keys mismatch
- using serialized Parameter as a key (in a string)
which will need some additional marshaling/unmarshaling
- converting MapType from map to a slice of key-value pairs
not a bad idea as we don't use this map as a map really, the type
itself is all about input/output for real VM types and this approach is
also a bit closer to JSON representation of the Map
Frequently one needs to check if struct serializes/deserializes
properly. This commit implements helpers for such cases including:
1. JSON
2. io.Serializable interface
That's how it was intended to behave originally. One thing questionable here
is contract price (policy thing, basically) being moved to smartcontract
package, but it's probably fine for NEO 2.0 (as it won't change) and we'll
make something better for NEO 3.0.
1) Add marshaller and tests for smartcontract.Parameter
2) Add unmarshaller and tests for missing types of smartcontract.Parameter:
- MapType
- BoolType
Merged two types:
- smartcontract.ParamType
- rpc.StackParamType
into single one:
- smartcontract.ParamType
as they duplicated the functionality.
NOTE: type smartcontract.MapType was added (as in C# implementation).
From now, list of supported smartcontract parameter types:
UnknownType
SignatureType
BoolType
IntegerType
Hash160Type
Hash256Type
ByteArrayType
PublicKeyType
StringType
ArrayType
MapType
InteropInterfaceType
VoidType
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.
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.
Drop wif.GetVerificationScript(), drop
smartcontract.CreateSignatureRedeemScript(), add GetVerificationScript()
directly to the PublicKey and use it everywhere.
This allows easier reuse of opcodes and in some cases allows to eliminate
dependencies on the whole vm package, like in compiler that only needs opcodes
and doesn't care about VM for any other purpose.
And yes, they're opcodes because an instruction is a whole thing with
operands, that's what context.Next() returns.
Wrong bits were used to represent flags which is important for contracts
created via interop. Fixes contracts failing to store things:
WARN[16278] contract invocation failed block=3773025 err="error encountered at instruction 3435 (SYSCALL): failed to invoke syscall: contract c9d870d7857e956d82290d5df19de3133c107815 can't have storage" tx=fa695eea240b7b4dbb6f42ea6335447a764d8b629c40b7812ea3bca16b1f098d
WARN[16278] contract invocation failed block=3773025 err="error encountered at instruction 1279 (SYSCALL): failed to invoke syscall: contract 97210e7c98582151ceb37f9748c9a1d27d9ae6fd can't have storage" tx=0144d84038149fa0cf1f7912f7d5854fa5f3670f5b4217789c1441f9fd52d27b
PublishTX only had one of these flags, but newer contracts (created via the
interop function) can have more and these flags are aggregated into one field
that uses PropertyState enumeration (it's used to publish contract, so
supposedly it's also a nice choice for contract state storage).
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.
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
* deleted transfer_output added asset type and transaction result to core
* removed writing 0x00 when buffer length is 0
* Refactored emit into VM package + moved tx to own package.
* implemented transaction along with claimTransaction.
* refactored naming of transaction + added decode address for uint160 types
* removed unnecessary folder and files.
* transaction/smartcontract logic
* bumped version 0.24.0
* Initial draft of the neo-go wallet
* Cleanup + more test for util package
* integrated wallet into neo-cli partially
* base wallet implementation + smartcontract code.
* implemented global variables.
* refactored imports + lots and lots of other sweet stuff + fix#28.
* Implemented the VM interop runtime API (GetTrigger, CheckWitness, ...)
