This commit is meant to allow ecosystem projects such as ethersphere
to minimize CI build times by specifying an environment variable with
the packages to run tests on.
If the environment variable isn't defined the build script will test
all packages so this shouldn't affect the main go-ethereum repository.
The 'from' and 'to' methods on StateTransitions are reader methods and
shouldn't have inadvertent side effects on state.
It is safe to remove the check in 'from' because account existence is
implicitly checked by the nonce and balance checks. If the account has
non-zero balance or nonce, it must exist. Even if the sender account has
nonce zero at the start of the state transition or no balance, the nonce
is incremented before execution and the account will be created at that
time.
It is safe to remove the check in 'to' because the EVM creates the
account if necessary.
Fixes#15119
* common: delete StringToAddress, StringToHash
These functions are confusing because they don't parse hex, but use the
bytes of the string. This change removes them, replacing all uses of
StringToAddress(s) by BytesToAddress([]byte(s)).
* eth/filters: remove incorrect use of common.BytesToAddress
Most of these methods did not contain all the relevant information
inside the object and were not using a similar formatting type.
Moreover, the existence of a suboptimal String method breaks usage
with more advanced data dumping tools like go-spew.
- Fixes#16271. What was appeneded was a pointer to
an object that changes during the iteration.
- The topic is allocated as a 4-byte array, fill partial topics
with 0s. Partial topics are currently disabled, but would
crash as they rely on the presence of byte number 3.
