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.
