Implementations

impl BlockChain

pub fn new(
    config: Config,
    genesis: &[u8],
    db: Arc<dyn BlockChainDB>,
    eip1559_transition: BlockNumber
) -> BlockChain

Create new instance of blockchain from given Genesis.

pub fn tree_route(&self, from: H256, to: H256) -> Option<TreeRoute>

Returns a tree route between from and to, which is a tuple of:

• a vector of hashes of all blocks, ordered from from to to.

• common ancestor of these blocks.

• an index where best common ancestor would be

1.) from newer to older

• bc: A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> A4 -> A5

• from: A5, to: A4

• route:

  { blocks: [A5], ancestor: A4, index: 1 }

2.) from older to newer

• bc: A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> A4 -> A5

• from: A3, to: A4

• route:

  { blocks: [A4], ancestor: A3, index: 0 }

3.) fork:

• bc:

  A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> A4
             -> B3 -> B4

• from: B4, to: A4

• route:

  { blocks: [B4, B3, A3, A4], ancestor: A2, index: 2 }

If the tree route verges into pruned or unknown blocks, None is returned.

is_from_route_finalized returns whether the from part of the route contains a finalized block. This only holds if the two parts (from and to) are on different branches, ie. on 2 different forks.

pub fn insert_unordered_block(
    &self,
    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    block: Block,
    receipts: Vec<TypedReceipt>,
    parent_td: Option<U256>,
    is_best: bool,
    is_ancient: bool
) -> bool

Inserts a verified, known block from the canonical chain.

Can be performed out-of-order, but care must be taken that the final chain is in a correct state. This is used by snapshot restoration and when downloading missing blocks for the chain gap. is_best forces the best block to be updated to this block. is_ancient forces the best block of the first block sequence to be updated to this block. parent_td is a parent total diffuculty Supply a dummy parent total difficulty when the parent block may not be in the chain. Returns true if the block is disconnected.

pub fn clear_cache(&self)

clears all caches, re-loads best block from disk for testing purposes

    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    epoch_num: u64,
    transition: EpochTransition
)

Insert an epoch transition. Provide an epoch number being transitioned to and epoch transition object.

The block the transition occurred at should have already been inserted into the chain.

pub fn epoch_transitions(&self) -> EpochTransitionIter<'_>

Iterate over all epoch transitions. This will only return transitions within the canonical chain.

pub fn epoch_transition(
    &self,
    block_num: u64,
    block_hash: H256
) -> Option<EpochTransition>

Get a specific epoch transition by block number and provided block hash.

pub fn epoch_transition_for(&self, parent_hash: H256) -> Option<EpochTransition>

Get the transition to the epoch the given parent hash is part of or transitions to. This will give the epoch that any children of this parent belong to.

The block corresponding the the parent hash must be stored already.

pub fn insert_pending_transition(
    &self,
    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    hash: H256,
    t: PendingEpochTransition
)

Write a pending epoch transition by block hash.

pub fn get_pending_transition(
    &self,
    hash: H256
) -> Option<PendingEpochTransition>

Get a pending epoch transition by block hash.

pub fn add_child(
    &self,
    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    block_hash: H256,
    child_hash: H256
)

Add a child to a given block. Assumes that the block hash is in the chain and the child’s parent is this block.

Used in snapshots to glue the chunks together at the end.

pub fn insert_block(
    &self,
    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    block: Block,
    receipts: Vec<TypedReceipt>,
    extras: ExtrasInsert
) -> ImportRoute

Inserts the block into backing cache database. Expects the block to be valid and already verified. If the block is already known, does nothing.

pub fn insert_block_with_route(
    &self,
    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    block: Block,
    receipts: Vec<TypedReceipt>,
    route: TreeRoute,
    extras: ExtrasInsert
) -> ImportRoute

Inserts the block into backing cache database with already generated route information. Expects the block to be valid and already verified and route is tree route information from current best block to new block’s parent. If the block is already known, does nothing.

pub fn mark_finalized(
    &self,
    batch: &mut DBTransaction,
    block_hash: H256
) -> Option<()>

Mark a block to be considered finalized. Returns Some(()) if the operation succeeds, and None if the block hash is not found.
