This command was meant as a hackish way to upgrade our chain database way back
when nobody cared for live updates and the size of the database along with its
import times was small. With the current database weighing hundreds of GBs and
processing times of many days, this command is just ludicrous.
All the state and block tests are ran as part of our CU builds internally, as
well as have been added to hive black-box tests. As such, there is no reason for
maintaining an extra standalone tool.
Only ethereum/rpc-tests used this command, which hasn't been maintained for over
a year now, a lot of tests failing. What's left of it was moved underneath hive,
which can run the entire test against a black-box geth without special commands.
Also a new RPC test suite is being added which is also based on black box tests,
not needing special commands any more.
This PR implements a differenceIterator, which allows iterating over trie nodes
that exist in one trie but not in another. This is a prerequisite for most GC
strategies, in order to find obsolete nodes.
* cmd/geth: added 'geth bug' command
Added bug command to geth, which will open a browser window
with an issue template and some additional system information.
* cmd/geth: update bug with better infos
* cmd/geth: added browser fallback
* cmd/geth: govet yo momma
* whisper: mailserver test introduced, refactoring
* whisper: validation test updated
* whisper: max number of peers fixed
* whisper: verification bug fixed
* whisper: esthetic fix
* whisper: interface changed to simplify the transition to v5
* whisper: preparation for version switch
Reworked the EVM gas instructions to use 64bit integers rather than
arbitrary size big ints. All gas operations, be it additions,
multiplications or divisions, are checked and guarded against 64 bit
integer overflows.
In additon, most of the protocol paramaters in the params package have
been converted to uint64 and are now constants rather than variables.
* common/math: added overflow check ops
* core: vmenv, env renamed to evm
* eth, internal/ethapi, les: unmetered eth_call and cancel methods
* core/vm: implemented big.Int pool for evm instructions
* core/vm: unexported intPool methods & verification methods
* core/vm: added memoryGasCost overflow check and test
* core,eth,internal: Added `debug_getBadBlocks()` method
When bad blocks are discovered, these are stored within geth.
An RPC-endpoint makes them availablewithin the `debug`
namespace. This feature makes it easier to discover network forks.
```
* core, api: go format + docs
* core/blockchain: Documentation, fix minor nitpick
* core: fix failing blockchain test
