The bulk of this PR is authored by @lightclient , in the original
EOF-work. More recently, the code has been picked up and reworked for the new EOF
specification, by @MariusVanDerWijden , in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29518, and also @shemnon has contributed with fixes.
This PR is an attempt to start eating the elephant one small bite at a
time, by selecting only the eof-validation as a standalone piece which
can be merged without interfering too much in the core stuff.
In this PR:
- [x] Validation of eof containers, lifted from #29518, along with
test-vectors from consensus-tests and fuzzing, to ensure that the move
did not lose any functionality.
- [x] Definition of eof opcodes, which is a prerequisite for validation
- [x] Addition of `undefined` to a jumptable entry item. I'm not
super-happy with this, but for the moment it seems the least invasive
way to do it. A better way might be to go back and allowing nil-items or
nil execute-functions to denote "undefined".
- [x] benchmarks of eof validation speed
