Implement 3 new instructions: TRY,ENDTRY,ENDFINALLY.
1. TRY marks the start of the block where exceptions are catched.
It has 2 arguments which are relative offsets of exception handler
and the end of the whole try/catch construction.
2. ENDTRY denotes either end of try or catch block.
3. ENDFINALLY denotes end of finally block which is executed
irregardless of whether an exception has occured.
Regular CALLs don't update it, only Contract.Call does. Fixes the following
mismatch on preview2 testnet:
file BlockStorage_100000/dump-block-49000.json: block 48644, changes number mismatch: 6 vs 4
1. Slot is a new mechanism for storing variables during execution
which is more convenient than alt.stack. This commit implements
support for slot opcodes in both vm and compiler.
2. Remove old alt.stack opcodes.
3. Do not process globals at the start of every function, but instead
load them single time at main.
In NEO3 SYSCALL opcode has 4-byte ID parameter.
This commit removes support for string-based syscalls and
changes SYSCALL's parameter to be fixed 4-byte value.
Old implementation could view 0x62 byte in
a script as a JMP instruction irregardless of whether it is
a real opcode or a part of a parameter of another instruction.
In this commit instructions are decoded together with parameters
during jump label rewriting.
Creating a new BinReader for every instruction is a bit too much and it adds
about 1% overhead on block import (and actually is quite visible in the VM
profiling statistics). So use a bit more ugly but efficient method.
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.
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.
Same thing done in a2a8981979 for PUSHBYTES,
failing to read the amount of bytes specified should lead to FAULT. Also
makes readUint16() and readUint32() panic as this is the behavior we want in
these cases. Add some tests along the way.
Before:
NEO-GO-VM > loadgo h.go
READY: loaded 16 instructions
NEO-GO-VM > ip
instruction pointer at -1 (PUSH0)
After:
NEO-GO-VM > loadgo h.go
READY: loaded 16 instructions
NEO-GO-VM > ip
instruction pointer at -1 (NOP)
I think NOP is a little less scary.
* renamed test folders and fixed bug where wrong jump labels would be exectuted for rewrite.
* Added support for Osize (len(string)) and factored out the array tests
* Added current instruction number to VM prompt if program is loaded.
* added support for unary expressions.
* updated README of and sorted the help commands
* updated readme of the compiler
* bumped version -> 0.39.0
