The `branch` of the operation contains enough information to induce
the `net_id`, and the code of the validator/prevalidator is now mature
enough to efficiently determine the `net_id` of an incoming operation.
The single validation module is split in multiple (simpler)
modules. In the process, we introduce one "validation worker" per
peer. This worker handle all the `New_head` and `New_branch`
advertised by a given peer. For so, it sends "fetching request" and
"validation request" to respectively the `Distributed_db` and and the
`Block_validator`. These two global workers are responsible of the
'fair' allocation of network and CPU ressources amongst the connected
'peers'.
This is a rewrite of the build system with `jbuilder`, with just a
minimal toplevel Makefile for backward compatibility.
This first patch preserves the project architecture, we only gain
proper dependencies handling and always up-to-date `.merlin` files.
A latter patch may split the project in smaller "sub-package",
i.e. multiple `.opam` files.
The embedded versions of the economic protocol are now compiled with
`jbuilder` instead of `tezos-protocol-compiler`, potentially allowing
proper inlining at the cost of slightly-less-stricter
sandboxing. Nevertheless, dynamically loaded protocol are still
compiled with the `tezos-protocol-compiler` and thus strictly
sandboxed ; and a CI rule also checks the proper sandboxing of
embedded protocols.

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'.
- introduced `test/utils/test_lib.inc.sh` to simplify usage of
sandboxed node/client in the testsuite
- it reuses code from `./script/{node,client}_lib.inc.sh`
- use `wait_for_the_node_to_be_ready` to properly wait for the node to
be launched rather to use a fexed delay
- `test_multinode.sh` now launch 8 nodes.
Operations now include a block hash in their header. Such an operation
could only be included in a successor of this block.
Furthermore, when validating a block, the economic protocol now
returns---together with the context---an integer `max_operations_ttl`.
Then, when validating a successor, the shell will fail if it contains
an operation whose header's block hash is not one the
`max_operations_ttl` predecessors of the block.
As a bonus, the shell is now able to detect and forbid replayed
operations. Then, we might decide to remove some replay
detection-mechanism that we previously implemented in the economic
protocol.
It now takes a `proto_header` in parameter, and it returns a full
`shell_header`. This prepares the inclusion of the context's hash in the
`shell_header`.
Let's get serious. The full index of operations is not sustainable in
the production code. We now only keep the index of operations not yet
in the chain (i.e. the mempool/prevalidation). Operations from the
chain are now only accesible through a block. For instance, see the
RPC:
/blocks/<hash>/proto/operations
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.
