Variables ¶
var ( // ErrUnknownAncestor is returned when validating a block requires an ancestor // that is unknown. ErrUnknownAncestor = errors.New("unknown ancestor") // ErrPrunedAncestor is returned when validating a block requires an ancestor // that is known, but the state of which is not available. ErrPrunedAncestor = errors.New("pruned ancestor") // ErrFutureBlock is returned when a block's timestamp is in the future according // to the current node. ErrFutureBlock = errors.New("block in the future") // ErrInvalidNumber is returned if a block's number doesn't equal its parent's // plus one. ErrInvalidNumber = errors.New("invalid block number") )

Types ¶
type Broadcaster ¶
type Broadcaster interface {
// FindPeers retrieves peers by addresses
FindPeers(targets map[enode.ID]bool, purpose p2p.PurposeFlag) map[enode.ID]Peer
}
Broadcaster defines the interface to enqueue blocks to fetcher, find peer
type ChainContext ¶
type ChainContext interface {
ChainHeaderReader
// NewEVMRunnerForCurrentBlock creates the System's EVMRunner for current block & state
NewEVMRunnerForCurrentBlock() (vm.EVMRunner, error)
// NewEVMRunner creates the System's EVMRunner for given header & sttate
NewEVMRunner(header *types.Header, state vm.StateDB) vm.EVMRunner
}
ChainContext defines a small collection of methods needed to access the local blockchain
type ChainHeaderReader ¶
type ChainHeaderReader interface {
// Config retrieves the blockchain's chain configuration.
Config() *params.ChainConfig
// CurrentHeader retrieves the current header from the local chain.
CurrentHeader() *types.Header
// GetHeader retrieves a block header from the database by hash and number.
GetHeader(hash common.Hash, number uint64) *types.Header
// GetHeaderByNumber retrieves a block header from the database by number.
GetHeaderByNumber(number uint64) *types.Header
// GetHeaderByHash retrieves a block header from the database by its hash.
GetHeaderByHash(hash common.Hash) *types.Header
}
ChainHeaderReader defines a small collection of methods needed to access the local blockchain during header verification.
type Engine ¶
type Engine interface {
// Author retrieves the Ethereum address of the account that minted the given
// block, which may be different from the header's coinbase if a consensus
// engine is based on signatures.
Author(header *types.Header) (common.Address, error)
// VerifyHeader checks whether a header conforms to the consensus rules of a
// given engine. Verifying the seal may be done optionally here, or explicitly
// via the VerifySeal method.
VerifyHeader(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, seal bool) error
// VerifyHeaders is similar to VerifyHeader, but verifies a batch of headers
// concurrently. The method returns a quit channel to abort the operations and
// a results channel to retrieve the async verifications (the order is that of
// the input slice).
VerifyHeaders(chain ChainHeaderReader, headers []*types.Header, seals []bool) (chan<- struct{}, <-chan error)
// VerifySeal checks whether the crypto seal on a header is valid according to
// the consensus rules of the given engine.
VerifySeal(header *types.Header) error
// Prepare initializes the consensus fields of a block header according to the
// rules of a particular engine. The changes are executed inline.
Prepare(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header) error
// Finalize runs any post-transaction state modifications (e.g. block rewards)
// but does not assemble the block.
//
// Note: The block header and state database might be updated to reflect any
// consensus rules that happen at finalization (e.g. block rewards).
Finalize(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB, txs []*types.Transaction)
// FinalizeAndAssemble runs any post-transaction state modifications (e.g. block
// rewards) and assembles the final block.
//
// Note: The block header and state database might be updated to reflect any
// consensus rules that happen at finalization (e.g. block rewards).
FinalizeAndAssemble(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB, txs []*types.Transaction, receipts []*types.Receipt, randomness *types.Randomness) (*types.Block, error)
// Seal generates a new sealing request for the given input block.
//
// Note: The engine will insert the resulting block.
Seal(chain ChainHeaderReader, block *types.Block) error
// GetValidators returns the list of current validators.
GetValidators(blockNumber *big.Int, headerHash common.Hash) []istanbul.Validator
EpochSize() uint64
// APIs returns the RPC APIs this consensus engine provides.
APIs(chain ChainHeaderReader) []rpc.API
// Close terminates any background threads maintained by the consensus engine.
Close() error
}
Engine is an algorithm agnostic consensus engine.
type Genesis ¶
type Genesis interface {
GetAlloc() GenesisAlloc
UnmarshalFromDB(db ethdb.Database) error
}
type GenesisAccount ¶
type GenesisAccount interface {
GetPublicKey() []byte
}
type GenesisAlloc ¶
type GenesisAlloc map[common.Address]GenesisAccount
type Handler ¶
type Handler interface {
// NewWork handles a new work event from the miner
NewWork() error
// HandleMsg handles a message from peer
HandleMsg(address common.Address, data p2p.Msg, peer Peer) (bool, error)
// SetBroadcaster sets the broadcaster to send message to peers
SetBroadcaster(Broadcaster)
// SetP2PServer sets the p2p server to connect/disconnect to/from peers
SetP2PServer(P2PServer)
// RegisterPeer will notify the consensus engine that a new peer has been added
RegisterPeer(peer Peer, fromProxiedNode bool) error
// UnregisterPeer will notify the consensus engine that a new peer has been removed
UnregisterPeer(peer Peer, fromProxiedNode bool)
// Handshake will begin a handshake with a new peer. It returns if the peer
// has identified itself as a validator and should bypass any max peer checks.
Handshake(peer Peer) (bool, error)
}
Handler should be implemented if the consensus needs to handle and send peer messages
type Istanbul ¶
type Istanbul interface {
Engine
// IsProxiedValidator returns true if this node is a proxied validator
IsProxiedValidator() bool
// IsProxy returns true if this node is a proxy
IsProxy() bool
// IsPrimary returns true if this node is the primary validator
IsPrimary() bool
// IsPrimaryForSeq returns true if this node is the primary validator for the sequence
IsPrimaryForSeq(seq *big.Int) bool
// SetChain injects the blockchain and related functions to the istanbul consensus engine
SetChain(chain ChainContext, currentBlock func() *types.Block, stateAt func(common.Hash) (*state.StateDB, error))
// SetCallBacks sets call back functions
SetCallBacks(hasBadBlock func(common.Hash) bool,
processBlock func(*types.Block, *state.StateDB) (types.Receipts, []*types.Log, uint64, error),
validateState func(*types.Block, *state.StateDB, types.Receipts, uint64) error,
onNewConsensusBlock func(block *types.Block, receipts []*types.Receipt, logs []*types.Log, state *state.StateDB)) error
// StartValidating starts the validating engine
StartValidating() error
// StopValidating stops the validating engine
StopValidating() error
// StartAnnouncing starts the announcing
StartAnnouncing() error
// StopAnnouncing stops the announcing
StopAnnouncing() error
// StartProxiedValidatorEngine starts the proxied validator engine
StartProxiedValidatorEngine() error
// StopProxiedValidatorEngine stops the proxied validator engine
StopProxiedValidatorEngine() error
// UpdateValSetDiff will update the validator set diff in the header, if the mined header is the last block of the epoch.
// The changes are executed inline.
UpdateValSetDiff(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB) error
// IsLastBlockOfEpoch will check to see if the header is from the last block of an epoch
IsLastBlockOfEpoch(header *types.Header) bool
// LookbackWindow returns the size of the lookback window for calculating uptime (in blocks)
LookbackWindow(header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB) uint64
// ValidatorAddress will return the istanbul engine's validator address
ValidatorAddress() common.Address
// GenerateRandomness will generate the random beacon randomness
GenerateRandomness(parentHash common.Hash) (common.Hash, common.Hash, error)
}
Istanbul is a consensus engine to avoid byzantine failure
type P2PServer ¶
type P2PServer interface {
// Gets this node's enode
Self() *enode.Node
// AddPeer will add a peer to the p2p server instance
AddPeer(node *enode.Node, purpose p2p.PurposeFlag)
// RemovePeer will remove a peer from the p2p server instance
RemovePeer(node *enode.Node, purpose p2p.PurposeFlag)
// AddTrustedPeer will add a trusted peer to the p2p server instance
AddTrustedPeer(node *enode.Node, purpose p2p.PurposeFlag)
// RemoveTrustedPeer will remove a trusted peer from the p2p server instance
RemoveTrustedPeer(node *enode.Node, purpose p2p.PurposeFlag)
}
P2PServer defines the interface for a p2p.server to get the local node's enode and to add/remove for static/trusted peers
type Peer ¶
type Peer interface {
// Send sends the message to this peer
Send(msgcode uint64, data interface{}) error
// Node returns the peer's enode
Node() *enode.Node
// Version returns the peer's version
Version() int
// Blocks until a message is read directly from the peer.
// This should only be used during a handshake.
ReadMsg() (p2p.Msg, error)
// Inbound returns if the peer connection is inbound
Inbound() bool
// PurposeIsSet returns if the peer has a purpose set
PurposeIsSet(purpose p2p.PurposeFlag) bool
}
Peer defines the interface for a p2p.peer
