Add get_permission_lower_bound intrinsic#37
Merged
Conversation
Expose the new get_permission_lower_bound host function so contracts can read account permission authorities. The intrinsic returns serialized permission data (name, parent, last_updated, authority) for the first permission whose name is >= the requested name. - C API declaration in permission.h - C++ import, types (permission_record, perm_authority, etc.), and get_permission() convenience wrapper in permission.hpp - Native stub in intrinsics.cpp and intrinsics_def.hpp - Added to cdt.imports.in

Looks good, but it does need a test
Test contract with three actions: - getperm: exercises the get_permission() C++ convenience wrapper - getpermraw: exercises the raw get_permission_lower_bound C intrinsic - checktypes: round-trip serialize/deserialize of permission_record, perm_authority, perm_key_weight, and perm_level_weight types

get_permission_lower_boundhost function so contracts can read account permission authoritiespermission_recordtypes, andget_permission()convenience wrapperDetails
The intrinsic returns serialized permission data (perm_name, parent, last_updated, authority) for the first permission whose name is >= the requested name. The
get_permission()wrapper calls the intrinsic twice (first to check name match, then full read). See EOSIO/eos#6657Companion PR: wire-sysio
