With this patch the economic protocol is now compiled as as
"functor-pack", parameterized over the environment. This will ease the
protocol reusability outside of the tezos source tree (e.g. for a
michelson Web IDE) and will allow proper unit testing of the economic
protocol.
This functorization allows to break the dependency of the
'tezos-protocol-compiler' on various '.mli' of the node, and hence
we don't need anymore the unusual compilation schema:
a.mli -> b.mli -> b.ml -> a.ml
where 'A' is linked after 'B' but 'a.mli' should still be compiled
before 'b.mli'. This will simplify a switch to 'ocp-build' or 'jbuiler'.
This prepares the context to the inclusion the hash of the context in
the block header. By "looking" into the resulting context of a block,
we are now know able to determine whether:
- no testnet is currently associated to the branch;
- a testnet must be forked after the block;
- a previously forked testnet is running.
The minimal header now (classically) contains the root of a Merkle tree,
wrapping a list of lists of operations. Currently, the validator only
accept a single list of operations, but the 3+pass validator will
requires at least two lists.
This refactors `src/node/shell/state.ml` in order to trace the source of
blocks and operations. This prepares the node for the three-pass
validator.
In the procces, it adds an in-memory overlay for blocks and operations.
* Read TEZOS_PROTOCOL in json format
* Define Protocol module here
* Fix dependent modules to use Protocol defined here
* Compute hash of protocol if absent in TEZOS_PROTOCOL
