Interpreter initialization is left to the PRs implementing them.
Options for external interpreters are passed after a colon in the
`--vm.ewasm` and `--vm.evm` switches.
- Define an Interpreter interface
- One contract can call contracts from other interpreter types.
- Pass the interpreter to the operands instead of the evm.
This is meant to prevent type assertions in operands.
- 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.
whisper: refactoring go-routines workflow
Move the call mailServer.Init() down (to the bottom of the function) because if the function initialize() completes successfully, then it will be followed by mailServer.Close() in shutdown(). The workflow of the corresponding goroutines is clearer now.
whisper: mailserver no longer supports the signature validation
Mailserver is provided as an example, but client validation belongs to the upper layer protocol and
needs not be covered in this example. The check that was previously available hinders the switch
to libp2p so we agreed not to include that check in that example code anymore.
This is in preparation for the switch to libp2p: the ID generated
will be from a private key created with the help of libp2p's crypto
library, while Whisper will still use Go's default crypto libraries
for encrypting its messages. This change removes a conflict.
It shouldn't have any impact as the person receiving emails is
the user, not the node.
The bulk of the issue was to adapt to the new requirement
that a v6 filter has to either contain a symmertric key or
an asymmetric one.
This commits revert one of the fixes that I made to remove
a linter warning: unexporting NewSentMessage. This is not
really a problem as I have a cleanup in the pipe that will
solve this issue.
* whisper: fixes warnings from the code linter
* whisper: more non-API-breaking changes
The remaining lint errors are because of auto-generated
files and one is because an exported function has a non-
exported return type. Changing this would break the API,
and will be part of another commit for easier reversal.
* whisper: un-export NewSentMessage to please the linter
This is an API change, which is why it's in its own commit.
This change was initiated after the linter complained that
the returned type wasn't exported. I chose to un-export
the function instead of exporting the type, because that
type is an implementation detail that I would like to
change in the near future to make the code more
readable and with an increased coverage.
* whisper: update gencodec output after upgrading it to new lint standards
Now that the AES salt has been moved to the payload, padding must
be adjusted to hide it, lest an attacker guesses that the packet
uses symmetric encryption.
