EVMC tracing for interpreter #5065

chfast · 2018-06-05T16:26:50Z

This is a preview of the EVMC feature ethereum/evmc#32.

Changes

The trace reflects the state of the VM after the execution of an opcode.
This allows to include the error code in the trace.
You can also show the result of the opcode execution (top stack item).
The full VM stack is not reported, only the result of the opcode pushed on the stack (if any). This limits the amount of data transferred, but tracking SWAP and DUP instructions requires some work on the Client side.
Only the fragment of the memory modified by the opcode is reported to the Client. It is easy to incrementally patch the Client's memory view if needed.
The opcode is not reported. The Client knows what code is executed and can get the opcode using the code_offset. It might be convenient to revert this decision and send the opcode to the Client.
The tracing data collection is separated from formatting.
I believe you can construct a formatter which will replicate the behavior of legacy traces.

As you may see, there are at least 2 nice features here:

Internal calls are properly attached to call instructions.
You can see the outcome of an instruction, e.g. ADD (3) means that the result of the addition was 3.

The call instructions are not handled correctly yet. Now they are reported just before the internal call, but I want them to be reported after because this is more consistent and allows showing the returned values (CALL (1), CALL (0), CREATE (<created address>)).

@gumb0 The cpp-ethereum part is a prototype to check if the EVMC API is ok.

axic · 2018-07-25T16:56:59Z

Needs to be rebased and adapted to the latest version of ethereum/evmc#32.

chfast · 2018-07-26T08:19:54Z

@gumb0 Do you maybe have some spare time to take it over?

Could use evmc_set_tracer here.

Updated, please check the description.

Store them as member variables of a class wrapping evmc_instance.

Here's the summary of what is affected in aleth by changes in tracing:

VM trace output in logs at TRACE verbosity for aleth and testeth
--jsontrace option of testeth
Trace output and opcode stats counting in aleth-vm tool
admin_eth_vmTrace and debug_trace* RPC methods
some VM unit tests use trace callback to check the opcode price

chfast · 2019-06-17T09:25:36Z

The tracing API in EVMC has some flaws and will have to redesigned. But the amount of data transferred from the VM is good.
