#Developer notes
## Smart contract development
Please refer to [neo-go smart contract development
workshop](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go-sc-wrkshp) that shows some
simple contracts that can be compiled/deployed/run using neo-go compiler, SDK
and private network. For details on how Go code is translated to Neo VM
bytecode and what you can and can not do in smart contract please refer to the
[compiler documentation](docs/compiler.md).
# Developer notes
Nodes have such features as [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/go-application) and
[Pprof](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/) in order to have additional information about them for debugging.

The neo-go compiler compiles Go programs to bytecode that the NEO virtual machine can understand.
## Currently supported
## Language compatibility
### Go internals
- type checking
- multiple assignments
- global variables
- types int, string, byte and booleans
- struct types + method receives
- functions
- composite literals `[]int, []string, []byte`
- basic if statements
- binary expressions
- return statements
- for loops
- imports
The compiler is mostly compatible with regular Go language specification, but
there are some important deviations that you need to be aware of that make it
a dialect of Go rather than a complete port of the language:
* `make()` ane `new()` are not supported, most of the time you can substitute
them with composite literals
* there is no real distinction between different integer types, all of them
work as big.Int in Go with a limit of 256 bit in width, so you can use
`int` for just about anything. This is the way integers work in Neo VM and
adding proper Go types emulation is considered to be too costly.
* goroutines, channels and garbage collection are not supported and will
never be because emulating that aspects of Go runtime on top of Neo VM is
close to impossible
* even though `panic()` is supported, `recover()` is not, `panic` shuts the
VM down
* lambdas are not supported (#939)
* it's not possible to rename imported interop packages, they won't work this
way (#397, #913)
### Go builtins
- len
- append
### VM API (interop layer)
## VM API (interop layer)
Compiler translates interop function calls into NEO VM syscalls or (for custom
functions) into NEO VM instructions. [Refer to GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pkg/interop) for full API documentation.
#### Standard NEO Smart Contract API
- account
- asset
- attribute
- block
- blockchain
- contract
- engine
- header
- input
- iterator
- output
- runtime
- storage
- transaction
#### Custom VM utility helper functions
- crypto:
- `SHA1`
- `SHA256`
- `Hash256`
- `Hash160`
- enumerator
- util:
- `Equals` (to emit `EQUALS` opcode, not needed usually)
- `FromAddress(address string) []byte`
## Not supported
Due to the limitations of the NEO virtual machine, features listed below will not be supported.
- channels
- goroutines
- returning multiple values from functions
functions) into NEO VM instructions. [Refer to
pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pkg/interop)
for full API documentation. In general it provides the same level of
functionality as Neo .net Framework library.

### Test invoke a compiled contract
You can simulate a test invocation of your compiled contract by the VM, to know the total gas cost for example, with the following command:
#### Neo Smart Contract Debugger support
It's possible to debug contracts written in Go using standard [Neo Smart
Contract Debugger](https://github.com/neo-project/neo-debugger/) which is a
part of [Neo Blockchain
Toolkit](https://github.com/neo-project/neo-blockchain-toolkit/). To do that
you need to generate debug information using `--debug` option, like this:
```
./bin/neo-go contract testinvoke -i mycompiledcontract.avm
$ ./bin/neo-go contract compile -i contract.go -o contract.avm --debug contract.debug.json
```
Will output something like:
```
{
"state": "HALT, BREAK",
"gas_consumed": "0.006",
"Stack": [
{
"type": "Integer",
"value": "9"
}
]
}
This file can then be used by debugger and set up to work just like for any
other supported language.
### Deploying
Deploying a contract to blockchain with neo-go requires a configuration file
with contract's metadata in YAML format, like the following:
```
project:
author: Jack Smith
email: jack@example.com
version: 1.0
name: 'Smart contract'
description: 'Even smarter than Jack himself'
hasstorage: true
hasdynamicinvocation: false
ispayable: false
returntype: ByteArray
parameters: ['String', 'Array']
```
At the moment this is implemented via RPC call to the remote server.
It's passed to the `deploy` command via `-c` option:
```
$ ./bin/neo-go contract deploy -i contract.avm -c contract.yml -e http://localhost:20331 -w wallet.json -g 0.001
```
Deployment works via an RPC server, an address of which is passed via `-e`
option and should be signed using a wallet from `-w` option. More details can
be found in `deploy` command help.
#### Neo Express support
It's possible to deploy contracts written in Go using [Neo
Express](https://github.com/neo-project/neo-express) which is a part of [Neo
Blockchain
Toolkit](https://github.com/neo-project/neo-blockchain-toolkit/). To do that
you need to generate a different metadata file using YAML written for
deployment with neo-go. It's done in the same step with compilation via
`--config` input parameter and `--abi` output parameter, combined with debug
support the command line will look like this:
```
$ ./bin/neo-go contract compile -i contract.go --config contract.yml -o contract.avm --debug contract.debug.json --abi contract.abi.json
```
This file can then be used by toolkit to deploy contract the same way
contracts in other languagues are deployed.
### Invoking
You can import your contract into the standalone VM and run it there (see [VM
documentation](vm.md) for more info), but that only works for simple contracts
that don't use blockchain a lot. For more real contracts you need to deploy
them first and then do test invocations and regular invocations with `contract
testinvokefunction` and `contract invokefunction` commands (or their variants,
see `contract` command help for more details. They all work via RPC, so it's a
mandatory parameter.
Example call (contract `f84d6a337fbc3d3a201d41da99e86b479e7a2554` with method
`balanceOf` and method's parameter `AK2nJJpJr6o664CWJKi1QRXjqeic2zRp8y` using
given RPC server and wallet and paying 0.00001 GAS for this transaction):
```
$ ./bin/neo-go contract invokefunction -e http://localhost:20331 -w my_wallet.json -g 0.00001 f84d6a337fbc3d3a201d41da99e86b479e7a2554 balanceOf AK2nJJpJr6o664CWJKi1QRXjqeic2zRp8y
```
