Package vm implements the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
|
|
|
|
The vm package implements two EVMs, a byte code VM and a JIT VM. The BC
|
|
(Byte Code) VM loops over a set of bytes and executes them according to the set
|
|
of rules defined in the Ethereum yellow paper. When the BC VM is invoked it
|
|
invokes the JIT VM in a separate goroutine and compiles the byte code in JIT
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
The JIT VM, when invoked, loops around a set of pre-defined instructions until
|
|
it either runs of gas, causes an internal error, returns or stops.
|
|
|
|
The JIT optimiser attempts to pre-compile instructions in to chunks or segments
|
|
such as multiple PUSH operations and static JUMPs. It does this by analysing the
|
|
opcodes and attempts to match certain regions to known sets. Whenever the
|
|
optimiser finds said segments it creates a new instruction and replaces the
|
|
first occurrence in the sequence.
