Keys are also 160 bit. The Kad algorithm uses an XOR operation to calculate the distance between nodes.\nd(x,y) = x XOR y\n\n## node state\nfor each 0 <= i < 160, every node keeps k triples (as a list) for nodes of distance between 2^i and 2^i+1 from itself. it is called k-buckets.\neach k-bucket is kept sorted by time last seen--least recently seen node at the head, most-recently seen at the tail.\nfor small values of i, the k-buckets will generally be empty (as no approriate nodes will exist).\n\n The K value mentioned here is a system-level constant (must be an even number). It is set by the software system using Kad (for example, the Kad network used by BT download, K is set to 8). \n\n## update of k bucket\nThere are mainly the following ways to update the K bucket:\n\n- Actively collect nodes: Any node can initiate a FIND_NODE (query node) request to refresh the node information in the K-bucket.\n- Passive collection node: When receiving requests from other nodes (such as: FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE), it will add the node ID of the other party to a certain K-bucket.\n- Detect invalid nodes: By initiating a PING request, determine whether a node in the K-bucket is online, and then clean up which offline nodes in the K-bucket.\n\nThe update principle is to insert the latest node into the tail of the queue, and not to remove the online nodes in the queue.\n\nAccording to the K-bucket update principle, nodes with a long online time are more likely to remain in the K-bucket list. Therefore, by keeping the nodes with a long online time in the K-bucket, Kad will significantly increase the number of nodes in the K-bucket. it can defend against DOS attacks to a certain extent, because only when the old node fails, Kad will update the K bucket information, which avoids flooding routing information through the addition of new nodes\n![probability of continuous online agains onlie duration](/images/kademlia.onlineprob.png)\n\n## RPC method\nThe Kademlia protocol includes four remote RPC operations: PING, STORE, FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE.\n\n- PING probes a node to see if it is online.\n- STORE instructs a node to store a pair for later retrieval.\n- FIND_NODE takes a 160bit ID as an argument. The receiver of this operation returns the (IP address, UDP port, Node ID) information of K nodes that it knows are closer to the target ID. The information of these nodes can be obtained from a single K-bucket, or from multiple K-buckets. In either case, the receiver will return the information of K nodes to the operation initiator. \n- The FIND_VALUE operation is similar to the FIND_NODE operation, with one exception. if the RPC receipients has received a STORE RPC for the key, it just returns the stored value.\n\n## node lookup\nKad participant must locate the k closest nodes to some given node ID. Kad employs a recursive algorithm for node lookups. It recursively send FIND_NODE requests to \\alpha (out of k) closest nodes it knows of. \n\n## find a pair\nto find a pair, a node starts by performing a lookup to find the k nodes with IDs closest to the key.

Introduction

Kademlia, a peer-to-peer distributed hash table(DHT). Some other DHT techniques are Chord. In the Kad network, each node has a unique 160-bit ID (ETH account address is 20 bytes, which is 160 bits) <key,value> pairs are stored in nodes whose ID is ‘close’ to the key for some notion of closeness.

\n

system description

Kad effectively treats nodes as leaves in a binary tree, with each nodes’s position determined by the shortest unique prefix of its ID. Figure 1 shows the position of a node with unique prefix 0011 in an example.

\n

\"Figure
for any given node, the binary tree is divided into a series of successively lower subtrees that don’t contain the node.
The highest-level subtree is composed of the other half of the whole tree that does not contain itself; the next level of subtree is composed of the remaining half that does not contain itself; and so on, until the complete tree is split into n subtrees. As shown in the figure, the part contained by the dotted line is the subtree of node 0011.

\n

if there is at least one node knwon in each subtree (in total, at least n nodes), a recursive routing algorithm can be used to reach any node within the binary tree. Figure 2 shows an example of node 0011 locating node 1110 by successively querying the best node it knows of to find contacts in lower and lower subtrees; finaly the lookup converges to the target node.

node distance: XOR metric

Node’s id is 160 bit. Keys are also 160 bit. The Kad algorithm uses an XOR operation to calculate the distance between nodes.
d(x,y) = x XOR y

\n

node state

for each 0 <= i < 160, every node keeps k <IP address, UDP port, node ID> triples (as a list) for nodes of distance between 2^i and 2^i+1 from itself. it is called k-buckets.
each k-bucket is kept sorted by time last seen–least recently seen node at the head, most-recently seen at the tail.
for small values of i, the k-buckets will generally be empty (as no approriate nodes will exist).

\n

The K value mentioned here is a system-level constant (must be an even number). It is set by the software system using Kad (for example, the Kad network used by BT download, K is set to 8).

\n

update of k bucket

There are mainly the following ways to update the K bucket:

\n
    \n
  • Actively collect nodes: Any node can initiate a FIND_NODE (query node) request to refresh the node information in the K-bucket.
    • \n
  • Passive collection node: When receiving requests from other nodes (such as: FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE), it will add the node ID of the other party to a certain K-bucket.
    • \n
  • Detect invalid nodes: By initiating a PING request, determine whether a node in the K-bucket is online, and then clean up which offline nodes in the K-bucket.
    • \n
\n

The update principle is to insert the latest node into the tail of the queue, and not to remove the online nodes in the queue.

\n

According to the K-bucket update principle, nodes with a long online time are more likely to remain in the K-bucket list. Therefore, by keeping the nodes with a long online time in the K-bucket, Kad will significantly increase the number of nodes in the K-bucket. it can defend against DOS attacks to a certain extent, because only when the old node fails, Kad will update the K bucket information, which avoids flooding routing information through the addition of new nodes
\"probability

\n

RPC method

The Kademlia protocol includes four remote RPC operations: PING, STORE, FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE.

\n
    \n
  • PING probes a node to see if it is online.
    • \n
  • STORE instructs a node to store a <key,value> pair for later retrieval.
    • \n
  • FIND_NODE takes a 160bit ID as an argument. The receiver of this operation returns the (IP address, UDP port, Node ID) information of K nodes that it knows are closer to the target ID. The information of these nodes can be obtained from a single K-bucket, or from multiple K-buckets. In either case, the receiver will return the information of K nodes to the operation initiator.
    • \n
  • The FIND_VALUE operation is similar to the FIND_NODE operation, with one exception. if the RPC receipients has received a STORE RPC for the key, it just returns the stored value.
    • \n
\n

node lookup

Kad participant must locate the k closest nodes to some given node ID. Kad employs a recursive algorithm for node lookups. It recursively send FIND_NODE requests to \\alpha (out of k) closest nodes it knows of.

\n

find a <key,value> pair

to find a <key,value> pair, a node starts by performing a lookup to find the k nodes with IDs closest to the key. However, value lookups use FIND_VLAUE rather than FIND_NODE RPCs.

\n

node join

to join the network, a node u must have a contact to an already participating node w.

Every variable has a static type, Exactly one type known and fixed at compile time. If we declare\n```go\ntype MyInt int\n\nvar i int\nvar j MyInt\n```\n**The variables i and j have distinct static types and, although they have the same underlying type, they cannot be assigned to one another without a conversion.**\n\nOne important category of type is interface types, which represent fixed sets of methods. An interface variable can store any concrete (non-interface) value as long as that value implements the interface’s methods. An extremely important example of an interface type is the empty interface:\n```go\ninterface{}\n```\nor its equivalent alias,\n```go\nany\n```\nIt represents the empty set of methods and is satisfied by any value at all, since every value has zero or more methods.\na variable of interface type always has the same static type, and even though at run time the value stored in the interface variable may change type, that value will always satisfy the interface.\n\n## the representation of an interface\nA variable of interface type stores a pair: the concrete value assigned to the variable, and that value’s type descriptor.\nFor instance, after\n```golang\nvar r io.Reader\ntty, err := os.OpenFile(\"/dev/tty\", os.O_RDWR, 0)\nif err != nil {\n return nil, err\n}\nr = tty\n```\nr contains, schematically, the (value, type) pair, (tty, *os.File). Notice that the type *os.File implements methods other than Read; even though the interface value provides access only to the Read method, the value inside carries all the type information about that value.

introduction

Reflection is the ability of a program to examine its own structure, particularly through types.

\n

type and interfaces

Go is statically typed. Every variable has a static type, Exactly one type known and fixed at compile time. If we declare

\n
1
2
3
4
type MyInt int

var i int
var j MyInt
\n

The variables i and j have distinct static types and, although they have the same underlying type, they cannot be assigned to one another without a conversion.

\n

One important category of type is interface types, which represent fixed sets of methods. An interface variable can store any concrete (non-interface) value as long as that value implements the interface’s methods. An extremely important example of an interface type is the empty interface:

\n
1
interface{}
\n

or its equivalent alias,

\n
1
any
\n

It represents the empty set of methods and is satisfied by any value at all, since every value has zero or more methods.
a variable of interface type always has the same static type, and even though at run time the value stored in the interface variable may change type, that value will always satisfy the interface.

\n

the representation of an interface

A variable of interface type stores a pair: the concrete value assigned to the variable, and that value’s type descriptor.
For instance, after

\n
1
2
3
4
5
6
var r io.Reader
tty, err := os.OpenFile("/dev/tty", os.O_RDWR, 0)
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}
r = tty
\n

r contains, schematically, the (value, type) pair, (tty, *os.File). Notice that the type *os.File implements methods other than Read; even though the interface value provides access only to the Read method, the value inside carries all the type information about that value. That’s why we can do things like this:

\n
1
2
var w io.Writer
w = r.(io.Writer)
\n

The expression in this assignment is a type assertion; what it asserts is that the item inside r also implements io.Writer, and so we can assign it to w. After the assignment, w will contain the pair (tty, *os.File). That’s the same pair as was held in r.
One important detail is that the pair inside an interface variable always has the form (value, concrete type) and cannot have the form (value, interface type). Interfaces do not hold interface values.

\n

the first law of reflection

    \n

  1. Reflection goes from interface value to reflection object
    At the basic level, reflection is just a mechanism to examine the type and value pair stored inside an interface variable. reflect.TypeOf and reflect.ValueOf, retrieve reflect.Type and reflect.Value pieces out of an interface value.

    \n
    1
    2
    var x float64 = 3.4
    fmt.Println("type:", reflect.TypeOf(x))
    \n
    1
    type: float64
    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())
    fmt.Println("kind is float64:", v.Kind() == reflect.Float64)
    fmt.Println("value:", v.Float())
    \n
    1
    2
    3
    type: float64
    kind is float64: true
    value: 3.4
    \n

    There are also methods like SetInt and SetFloat. to keep the API simple, the “getter” and “setter” methods of Value operate on the largest type that can hold the value: int64 for all the signed integers, for instance.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    var x uint8 = 'x'
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())                            // uint8.
    fmt.Println("kind is uint8: ", v.Kind() == reflect.Uint8) // true.
    x = uint8(v.Uint())                                       // v.Uint returns a uint64.
    \n
    2. \n

  2. Reflection goes from reflection object to interface value.
    Given a reflect.Value we can recover an interface value using the Interface method;

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    // Interface returns v's current value as an interface{}.
    // It is equivalent to:
    //
    //\tvar i interface{} = (v's underlying value)
    func (v Value) Interface() interface{}
    \n
    1
    2
    y := v.Interface().(float64) // y will have type float64.
    fmt.Println(y)
    \n
    3. \n

  3. To modify a reflection object, the value must be settable.
    The CanSet method of Value reports the settability of a Value; in our case,

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: false
    \n

    we pass a copy of x to reflect.ValueOf, so the interface value created as the argument to reflect.ValueOf is a copy of x, not x itself. Thus, if the statement v.SetFloat(7.1) were allowed to succeed, it would not update x, even though v looks like it was created from x. Instead, it would update the copy of x stored inside the reflection value and x itself would be unaffected. That would be confusing and useless, so it is illegal, and settability is the property used to avoid this issue. If we want to modify x by reflection, we must give the reflection library a pointer to the value we want to modify.
    Let’s do that.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    var x float64 = 3.4
    p := reflect.ValueOf(&x) // Note: take the address of x.
    fmt.Println("type of p:", p.Type())
    fmt.Println("settability of p:", p.CanSet())
    \n

    The reflection object p isn’t settable, but it’s not p we want to set, it’s (in effect) *p. To get to what p points to, we call the Elem method of Value, which indirects through the pointer, and save the result in a reflection Value called v:

    \n
    1
    2
    v := p.Elem()
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: true
    4. \n
\n

for i := 0; i < s.NumField(); i++ {
    f := s.Field(i)
    fmt.Printf("%d: %s %s = %v\\n", i,
        typeOfT.Field(i).Name, f.Type(), f.Interface())
}
\n

0: A int = 23
1: B string = skidoo
\n

There’s one more point about settability introduced in passing here: the field names of T are upper case (exported) because only exported fields of a struct are settable.
Because s contains a settable reflection object, we can modify the fields of the structure.

\n

3
s.Field(0).SetInt(77)
s.Field(1).SetString("Sunset Strip")
fmt.Println("t is now", t)
\n

If we modified the program so that s was created from t, not &t, the calls to SetInt and SetString would fail as the fields of t would not be settable.

a variable of interface type always has the same static type, and even though at run time the value stored in the interface variable may change type, that value will always satisfy the interface.

\n

the representation of an interface

A variable of interface type stores a pair: the concrete value assigned to the variable, and that value’s type descriptor.
For instance, after

var r io.Reader
tty, err := os.OpenFile("/dev/tty", os.O_RDWR, 0)
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}
r = tty
\n

r contains, schematically, the (value, type) pair, (tty, *os.File). Notice that the type *os.File implements methods other than Read; even though the interface value provides access only to the Read method, the value inside carries all the type information about that value. That’s why we can do things like this:

\n

var w io.Writer
w = r.(io.Writer)
\n

The expression in this assignment is a type assertion; what it asserts is that the item inside r also implements io.Writer, and so we can assign it to w. After the assignment, w will contain the pair (tty, *os.File). That’s the same pair as was held in r.

    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())
    fmt.Println("kind is float64:", v.Kind() == reflect.Float64)
    fmt.Println("value:", v.Float())
    \n

    type: float64
    kind is float64: true
    value: 3.4
    \n

    There are also methods like SetInt and SetFloat. to keep the API simple, the “getter” and “setter” methods of Value operate on the largest type that can hold the value: int64 for all the signed integers, for instance.

    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)

    fmt.Println("kind is uint8: ", v.Kind() == reflect.Uint8) // true.
    x = uint8(v.Uint())                                       // v.Uint returns a uint64.
    \n
    2. \n

  2. Reflection goes from reflection object to interface value.
    Given a reflect.Value we can recover an interface value using the Interface method;

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    // Interface returns v's current value as an interface{}.
    // It is equivalent to:
    //
    //\tvar i interface{} = (v's underlying value)
    func (v Value) Interface() interface{}
    \n
    1
    2
    y := v.Interface().(float64) // y will have type float64.
    fmt.Println(y)
    \n
    3. \n

  3. To modify a reflection object, the value must be settable.
    The CanSet method of Value reports the settability of a Value; in our case,

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: false
    \n

    we pass a copy of x to reflect.ValueOf, so the interface value created as the argument to reflect.ValueOf is a copy of x, not x itself. Thus, if the statement v.SetFloat(7.1) were allowed to succeed, it would not update x, even though v looks like it was created from x. Instead, it would update the copy of x stored inside the reflection value and x itself would be unaffected. That would be confusing and useless, so it is illegal, and settability is the property used to avoid this issue. If we want to modify x by reflection, we must give the reflection library a pointer to the value we want to modify.
    Let’s do that.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    var x float64 = 3.4
    p := reflect.ValueOf(&x) // Note: take the address of x.
    fmt.Println("type of p:", p.Type())
    fmt.Println("settability of p:", p.CanSet())
    \n

    The reflection object p isn’t settable, but it’s not p we want to set, it’s (in effect) *p. To get to what p points to, we call the Elem method of Value, which indirects through the pointer, and save the result in a reflection Value called v:

    \n
    1
    2
    v := p.Elem()
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1

There’s one more point about settability introduced in passing here: the field names of T are upper case (exported) because only exported fields of a struct are settable.
Because s contains a settable reflection object, we can modify the fields of the structure.

\n
1
2
3
s.Field(0).SetInt(77)
s.Field(1).SetString("Sunset Strip")
fmt.Println("t is now", t)
\n

If we modified the program so that s was created from t, not &t, the calls to SetInt and SetString would fail as the fields of t would not be settable.

\"move-string\"
ptr, len, capacity is stored in stack, while string value is stored in heap
When we assign s1 to s2, the String data is copied, meaning we copy the pointer, the length, and the capacity that are on the stack. We do not copy the data on the heap

If we do want to deeply copy the heap data of the String, not just the stack data, we can use a common method called clone.

  • difference between “stack” and “heap” variables: stack variables will be copied, and heap variables will be moved. When a variable containing heap data leaves the scope, its value will be cleared by the drop function, unless the ownership of the data is moved to another variable

\n

we pass &s1 into calculate_length and, in its definition, we take &String rather than String. These ampersands represent references, and they allow you to refer to some value without taking ownership of it. Because it does not own it, the value it points to will not be dropped when the reference stops being used.
When functions have references as parameters instead of the actual values, we won’t need to return the values in order to give back ownership, because we never had ownership.
We call the action of creating a reference borrowing.

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = x;
}

bind the value 5 to x; then make a copy of the value in x and bind it to y.

\n

for heap variable

fn main() {
    let s1 = String::from("hello");
    let s2 = s1;
}
\n

\"move-string\"
ptr, len, capacity is stored in stack, while string value is stored in heap
When we assign s1 to s2, the String data is copied, meaning we copy the pointer, the length, and the capacity that are on the stack. We do not copy the data on the heap
\"move-string-2\"
similar to shallow copy

\n

Clone

}
\n

If we do want to deeply copy the heap data of the String, not just the stack data, we can use a common method called clone.

\n

ownership and function

    \n
  • Passing a value to a function will result in a move or copy of ownership
    • \n
  • difference between “stack” and “heap” variables: stack variables will be copied, and heap variables will be moved. When a variable containing heap data leaves the scope, its value will be cleared by the drop function, unless the ownership of the data is moved to another variable

Lifetime Elision

In order to make common patterns more ergonomic, Rust allows lifetimes to be elided in function signatures.
Elision rules are as follows:

\n
    \n
  • Each elided lifetime in input position becomes a distinct lifetime parameter.
    • \n
  • If there is exactly one input lifetime position (elided or not), that lifetime is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.
    • \n
  • If there are multiple input lifetime positions, but one of them is &self or &mut self, the lifetime of self is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.
    • \n
  • Otherwise, it is an error to elide an output lifetime.

unwrap && expect

    \n
  • If do not want to deal with Err, can use unwarp() method. If result is Ok(val), return val. If Err, then call the panic! macro.
    • \n
  • expect can specify what the error message is, which is easier to debug
    • \n

The question mark operator, ?

When writing code that calls many functions that return the Result type, the error handling can be tedious. The question mark operator, ?, hides some of the boilerplate of propagating errors up the call stack.

  • Vector is like any other struct. When Vector leaves the scope, the variable value is cleaned up, and all its elements are also cleaned up.

HashMap ownership

    \n
  • For types that implement the Copy trait (such as i32), the value will be copied into the HashMap
    • \n
  • For values with ownership, such as (String), the value will be moved and ownership will be given to HashMap
    • \n
  • If a reference to a value is inserted into the HashMap, the value itself does not move

They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).\n\n### Deref & Drop\nSmart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the `Deref` and `Drop` traits.\n- The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers. \n- The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.\n\n### the most common smart pointers in the standard library:\n- `Box` for allocating values on the heap\n- `Rc`, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership\n- `Ref` and `RefMut`, accessed through `RefCell`, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time\n\n## Box\n### when to use\n- When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)\n- When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so\n- When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type\n\n\n### enabling recursive types with Box\nAt compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up\nOne type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address\n\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, List),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Cons(2, Cons(3, Nil))); // not allowed, infinite size\n}\n```\n\nuse Box\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Box::new(Cons(2, Box::new(Cons(3, Box::new(Nil))))));\n}\n```\n\n## Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait\nImplementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, `*`\nBy implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.\n\n### Defining Our Own Smart Pointer\n```rust\nuse std::ops::Deref;\n\nstruct MyBox(T); // The MyBox type is a tuple struct with one element of type T\n\nimpl MyBox {\n fn new(x: T) -> MyBox {\n MyBox(x)\n }\n}\n\nimpl Deref for MyBox {\n type Target = T;\n\n fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {\n &self.0\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = MyBox::new(x);\n\n assert_eq!(5, x);\n assert_eq!(5, *y);\n}\n```\n- We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator. \n- behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method\n- The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.\n\n### Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods\nDeref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods. \nDeref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str\nA sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.\n\n```rust\nfn hello(name: &str) {\n println!(\"Hello, {}!\", name);\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let m = MyBox::new(String::from(\"Rust\"));\n hello(\"rust\"); // ok\n hello(&m); // also ok\n hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello\n}\n```\nHere we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.\n\n### How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability\nSimilar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.\n\nRust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:\n- From &T to &U when T: Deref\n- From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut\n- From &mut T to &U when T: Deref\n\n## Running Code on Cleanup with the Drop Trait\nDrop, which lets you customize what happens when a value is about to go out of scope. \n\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"my stuff\"),\n };\n c.drop(); // not allowed\n let d = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"other stuff\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointers created.\");\n}\n\n```\n### Dropping a Value Early with std::mem::drop\nstd::mem::drop is in prelude, can use directly\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"some data\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer created.\");\n drop(c); // ok\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.\");\n} // c goes out of scope, will occur double drop\n\n```\n\n\n## Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer\nIn the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners. \ntype keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.\n\nWe use the `Rc` type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.\n\nRc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios\n\n### using Rc to share data\n\n![rc](/images/rust/pointers/rc.png)\nimplement use box will not work, as below\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Cons(5, Box::new(Cons(10, Box::new(Nil))));\n let b = Cons(3, Box::new(a)); // value moved here\n let c = Cons(4, Box::new(a)); // value used here after move\n}\n```\nuse Rc\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n}\n```\n\n\nWe could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.\n\n### Cloning an Rc Increases the Reference Count\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n println!(\"count after creating a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 1\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating b = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n {\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating c = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3\n }\n println!(\"count after c goes out of scope = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n}\n```\nWhat we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.\n\n## RefCell and interior mutability pattern\nInterior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.\nTo mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.\nWe can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that. \nThe unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.\n\n### Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell\nUnlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.\n\nrecall borrowing rules\n- At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.\n- References must always be valid.\nWith references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime. \nBecause RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.\n\n### Interior Mutability: A Mutable Borrow to an Immutable Value\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = &mut x; // not allowed. cannot borrow `x` as mutable, as it is not declared as mutable\n}\n```\n\n### A Use Case for Interior Mutability: Mock Objects\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n```\na problematic usage\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: Vec,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: vec![],\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.push(String::from(message)); // not allowed. cannot borrow `self.sent_messages` as mutable, as it is behind a `&` reference\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.len(), 1);\n }\n}\n\n```\nWe can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition\n\nThis is a situation in which interior mutability can help! \n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n use std::cell::RefCell;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell>,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.borrow_mut().push(String::from(message)); // call borrow_mut on the RefCell> in self.sent_messages to get a mutable reference to the value inside the RefCell>\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n // --snip--\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.borrow().len(), 1); // call borrow on the RefCell> to get an immutable reference to the vector.\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell\nWhen creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. **The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut**. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.\n\nThe RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime. \n```rust\nimpl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n let mut one_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n let mut two_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n\n one_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n two_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n }\n }\n```\nWhen we run the tests for our library, the code in will compile without any errors, but the test will fail\nthread 'main' panicked at 'already borrowed\n\n### Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell\nA common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!\n```rust\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(Rc>, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.\n\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); // Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a\n\n let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));\n let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));\n\n *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc to the inner RefCell value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.\n\n println!(\"a after = {:?}\", a);\n println!(\"b after = {:?}\", b);\n println!(\"c after = {:?}\", c);\n}\n```\n\n**The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;** \n\n## Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory\nRust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).\n\n### Creating a Reference Cycle\n```rust\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>), // The second element in the Cons variant is now RefCell>, meaning that we want to modify which List value a Cons variant is pointing to. \n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> { // We’re also adding a tail method to make it convenient for us to access the second item if we have a Cons variant.\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>),\n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> {\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, RefCell::new(Rc::new(Nil))));\n\n println!(\"a initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n\n let b = Rc::new(Cons(10, RefCell::new(Rc::clone(&a)))); // his code creates a list in a and a list in b that points to the list in a\n\n println!(\"a rc count after b creation = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"b initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"b next item = {:?}\", b.tail());\n\n if let Some(link) = a.tail() {\n *link.borrow_mut() = Rc::clone(&b); // modifies the list in a to point to b, creating a reference cycle\n }\n\n println!(\"b rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"a rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n\n // Uncomment the next line to see that we have a cycle;\n // it will overflow the stack\n // println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n} // At the end of main, Rust drops the variable b, which decreases the reference count of the Rc instance from 2 to 1. The memory that Rc has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.\n```\n![cycle-ref](/images/rust/pointers/cycle.ref.png)\n\n### Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak\nSo far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.\n\nStrong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.\n\nBecause the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped. \n\n\n### Creating a Tree Data Structure: a Node with Child Nodes\n```rust\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nstruct Node {\n value: i32,\n parent: RefCell>, // To make the child node aware of its parent, we need to add a parent field to our Node struct definition. The trouble is in deciding what the type of parent should be.

They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).\n\n### Deref & Drop\nSmart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the `Deref` and `Drop` traits.\n- The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers. \n- The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.\n\n### the most common smart pointers in the standard library:\n- `Box` for allocating values on the heap\n- `Rc`, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership\n- `Ref` and `RefMut`, accessed through `RefCell`, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time\n\n## Box\n### when to use\n- When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)\n- When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so\n- When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type\n\n\n### enabling recursive types with Box\nAt compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up\nOne type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address\n\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, List),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Cons(2, Cons(3, Nil))); // not allowed, infinite size\n}\n```\n\nuse Box\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Box::new(Cons(2, Box::new(Cons(3, Box::new(Nil))))));\n}\n```\n\n## Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait\nImplementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, `*`\nBy implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.\n\n### Defining Our Own Smart Pointer\n```rust\nuse std::ops::Deref;\n\nstruct MyBox(T); // The MyBox type is a tuple struct with one element of type T\n\nimpl MyBox {\n fn new(x: T) -> MyBox {\n MyBox(x)\n }\n}\n\nimpl Deref for MyBox {\n type Target = T;\n\n fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {\n &self.0\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = MyBox::new(x);\n\n assert_eq!(5, x);\n assert_eq!(5, *y);\n}\n```\n- We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator. \n- behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method\n- The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.\n\n### Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods\nDeref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods. \nDeref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str\nA sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.\n\n```rust\nfn hello(name: &str) {\n println!(\"Hello, {}!\", name);\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let m = MyBox::new(String::from(\"Rust\"));\n hello(\"rust\"); // ok\n hello(&m); // also ok\n hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello\n}\n```\nHere we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.\n\n### How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability\nSimilar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.\n\nRust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:\n- From &T to &U when T: Deref\n- From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut\n- From &mut T to &U when T: Deref\n\n## Running Code on Cleanup with the Drop Trait\nDrop, which lets you customize what happens when a value is about to go out of scope. \n\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"my stuff\"),\n };\n c.drop(); // not allowed\n let d = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"other stuff\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointers created.\");\n}\n\n```\n### Dropping a Value Early with std::mem::drop\nstd::mem::drop is in prelude, can use directly\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"some data\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer created.\");\n drop(c); // ok\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.\");\n} // c goes out of scope, will occur double drop\n\n```\n\n\n## Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer\nIn the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners. \ntype keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.\n\nWe use the `Rc` type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.\n\nRc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios\n\n### using Rc to share data\n\n![rc](/images/rust/pointers/rc.png)\nimplement use box will not work, as below\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Cons(5, Box::new(Cons(10, Box::new(Nil))));\n let b = Cons(3, Box::new(a)); // value moved here\n let c = Cons(4, Box::new(a)); // value used here after move\n}\n```\nuse Rc\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n}\n```\n\n\nWe could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.\n\n### Cloning an Rc Increases the Reference Count\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n println!(\"count after creating a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 1\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating b = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n {\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating c = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3\n }\n println!(\"count after c goes out of scope = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n}\n```\nWhat we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.\n\n## RefCell and interior mutability pattern\nInterior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.\nTo mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.\nWe can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that. \nThe unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.\n\n### Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell\nUnlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.\n\nrecall borrowing rules\n- At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.\n- References must always be valid.\nWith references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime. \nBecause RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.\n\n### Interior Mutability: A Mutable Borrow to an Immutable Value\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = &mut x; // not allowed. cannot borrow `x` as mutable, as it is not declared as mutable\n}\n```\n\n### A Use Case for Interior Mutability: Mock Objects\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n```\na problematic usage\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: Vec,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: vec![],\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.push(String::from(message)); // not allowed. cannot borrow `self.sent_messages` as mutable, as it is behind a `&` reference\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.len(), 1);\n }\n}\n\n```\nWe can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition\n\nThis is a situation in which interior mutability can help! \n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n use std::cell::RefCell;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell>,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.borrow_mut().push(String::from(message)); // call borrow_mut on the RefCell> in self.sent_messages to get a mutable reference to the value inside the RefCell>\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n // --snip--\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.borrow().len(), 1); // call borrow on the RefCell> to get an immutable reference to the vector.\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell\nWhen creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. **The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut**. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.\n\nThe RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime. \n```rust\nimpl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n let mut one_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n let mut two_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n\n one_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n two_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n }\n }\n```\nWhen we run the tests for our library, the code in will compile without any errors, but the test will fail\nthread 'main' panicked at 'already borrowed\n\n### Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell\nA common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!\n```rust\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(Rc>, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.\n\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); // Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a\n\n let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));\n let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));\n\n *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc to the inner RefCell value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.\n\n println!(\"a after = {:?}\", a);\n println!(\"b after = {:?}\", b);\n println!(\"c after = {:?}\", c);\n}\n```\n\n**The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;** \n\n## Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory\nRust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).\n\n### Creating a Reference Cycle\n```rust\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>), // The second element in the Cons variant is now RefCell>, meaning that we want to modify which List value a Cons variant is pointing to. \n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> { // We’re also adding a tail method to make it convenient for us to access the second item if we have a Cons variant.\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>),\n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> {\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, RefCell::new(Rc::new(Nil))));\n\n println!(\"a initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n\n let b = Rc::new(Cons(10, RefCell::new(Rc::clone(&a)))); // his code creates a list in a and a list in b that points to the list in a\n\n println!(\"a rc count after b creation = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"b initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"b next item = {:?}\", b.tail());\n\n if let Some(link) = a.tail() {\n *link.borrow_mut() = Rc::clone(&b); // modifies the list in a to point to b, creating a reference cycle\n }\n\n println!(\"b rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"a rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n\n // Uncomment the next line to see that we have a cycle;\n // it will overflow the stack\n // println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n} // At the end of main, Rust drops the variable b, which decreases the reference count of the Rc instance from 2 to 1. The memory that Rc has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.\n```\n![cycle-ref](/images/rust/pointers/cycle.ref.png)\n\n### Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak\nSo far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.\n\nStrong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.\n\nBecause the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped. \n\n\n### Creating a Tree Data Structure: a Node with Child Nodes\n```rust\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nstruct Node {\n value: i32,\n parent: RefCell>, // To make the child node aware of its parent, we need to add a parent field to our Node struct definition. The trouble is in deciding what the type of parent should be. We know it can’t contain an Rc, because that would create a reference cycle with leaf.parent pointing to branch and branch.children pointing to leaf, which would cause their strong_count values to never be 0.\n children: RefCell>>,\n}\n\nfn main() {\n\n let leaf = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 3,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n });\n\n println!(\"leaf parent = {:?}\", leaf.parent.borrow().upgrade()); // try to get a reference to the parent of leaf by using the upgrade method, we get a None value. \n\n let branch = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 5,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![Rc::clone(&leaf)]), // We clone the Rc in leaf and store that in branch, meaning the Node in leaf now has two owners: leaf and branch. \n });\n\n *leaf.parent.borrow_mut() = Rc::downgrade(&branch); // use the Rc::downgrade function to create a Weak reference to branch from the Rc in branch.\n\n println!(\"leaf parent = {:?}\", leaf.parent.borrow().upgrade());\n\n \n}\n```\n\n### Visualizing Changes to strong_count and weak_count\n```rust\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::{Rc, Weak};\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nstruct Node {\n value: i32,\n parent: RefCell>,\n children: RefCell>>,\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let leaf = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 3,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n });\n\n println!(\n \"leaf strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&leaf),\n Rc::weak_count(&leaf),\n );\n\n {\n let branch = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 5,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![Rc::clone(&leaf)]),\n });\n\n *leaf.parent.borrow_mut() = Rc::downgrade(&branch);\n\n println!(\n \"branch strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&branch),\n Rc::weak_count(&branch),\n );\n\n println!(\n \"leaf strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&leaf),\n Rc::weak_count(&leaf),\n );\n }\n\n println!(\"leaf parent = {:?}\", leaf.parent.borrow().upgrade());\n println!(\n \"leaf strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&leaf),\n Rc::weak_count(&leaf),\n );\n}\n```","slug":"rust/rust-06-smart-pointer","published":1,"updated":"2023-05-03T07:31:43.613Z","comments":1,"layout":"post","photos":[],"link":"","_id":"clk1e4wps000j6hsj1nk1429h","content":"

Overview

The most common kind of pointer in Rust is a reference (borrow but not own)
Smart pointers, on the other hand, are data structures that not only act like a pointer but also have additional metadata and capabilities.
references are pointers that only borrow data; in contrast, in many cases, smart pointers own the data they point to.

\n

smart pointers example

    \n
  • String
    • \n
  • Vec
    Both these types count as smart pointers because they own some memory and allow you to manipulate it. They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).
    • \n
\n

Deref & Drop

Smart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the Deref and Drop traits.

\n
    \n
  • The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers.
    • \n
  • The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.
    • \n
\n

the most common smart pointers in the standard library:

    \n
  • Box<T> for allocating values on the heap
    • \n
  • Rc<T>, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership
    • \n
  • Ref<T> and RefMut<T>, accessed through RefCell<T>, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time
    • \n
\n

Box

when to use

    \n
  • When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)
    • \n
  • When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so
    • \n
  • When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type
    • \n
\n

enabling recursive types with Box

At compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up
One type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address

}

Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait

Implementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, *
By implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.

struct MyBox<T>(T);  // The MyBox type is a tuple struct with one element of type T

    fn new(x: T) -> MyBox<T> {
        MyBox(x)
    }
}

impl<T> Deref for MyBox<T> {
    type Target = T;

    fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
        &self.0
    }
}

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = MyBox::new(x);

    assert_eq!(5, x);
    assert_eq!(5, *y);
}
\n
    \n
  • We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator.
    • \n
  • behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method
    • \n
  • The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.
    • \n
\n

Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods

Deref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods.
Deref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str
A sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.

fn hello(name: &str) {
    println!("Hello, {}!", name);
}

fn main() {
    let m = MyBox::new(String::from("Rust"));
    hello("rust");  // ok
    hello(&m);      // also ok
    hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox<String> into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello
}
\n

Here we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.

\n

How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability

Similar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.

\n

Rust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:

\n
    \n
  • From &T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n

    drop(c); // ok
    println!("CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.");

Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer

In the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners.
type keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.

\n

We use the Rc<T> type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.

\n

Rc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios

}
\n\n\n

We could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.

    println!("count after creating b = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
    {
        let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
        println!("count after creating c = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3
    }
    println!("count after c goes out of scope = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
}
\n

What we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.

RefCell and interior mutability pattern

Interior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.
To mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.
We can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that.
The unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.

\n

Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell

Unlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.

\n

recall borrowing rules

\n
    \n
  • At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.
    • \n
  • References must always be valid.
    With references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime.
    Because RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.

\n

We can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition

\n

This is a situation in which interior mutability can help!

Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell

When creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.

\n

The RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime.

Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell

A common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!

use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn main() {
    let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc<RefCell<i32>> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.

    let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); //  Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc<T> so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a

    let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));
    let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));

    *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc<T> to the inner RefCell<T> value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut<T> smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.

    println!("a after = {:?}", a);
    println!("b after = {:?}", b);
    println!("c after = {:?}", c);
}
\n\n

The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;

Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory

The memory that Rc<List> has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc<List> instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc<List> instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.

Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak

So far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.

\n

Strong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.

\n

Because the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option<Rc>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped.

Overview

The most common kind of pointer in Rust is a reference (borrow but not own)
Smart pointers, on the other hand, are data structures that not only act like a pointer but also have additional metadata and capabilities.
references are pointers that only borrow data; in contrast, in many cases, smart pointers own the data they point to.

\n

smart pointers example

    \n
  • String
    • \n
  • Vec
    Both these types count as smart pointers because they own some memory and allow you to manipulate it. They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).
    • \n
\n

Deref & Drop

Smart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the Deref and Drop traits.

\n
    \n
  • The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers.
    • \n
  • The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.
    • \n
\n

the most common smart pointers in the standard library:

    \n
  • Box<T> for allocating values on the heap
    • \n
  • Rc<T>, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership
    • \n
  • Ref<T> and RefMut<T>, accessed through RefCell<T>, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time
    • \n
\n

Box

when to use

    \n
  • When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)
    • \n
  • When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so
    • \n
  • When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type
    • \n
\n

enabling recursive types with Box

At compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up
One type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address

}
\n\n

Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait

Implementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, *
By implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.

use std::ops::Deref;

struct MyBox<T>(T);  // The MyBox type is a tuple struct with one element of type T

impl<T> MyBox<T> {
    fn new(x: T) -> MyBox<T> {
        MyBox(x)
    }
}

impl<T> Deref for MyBox<T> {
    type Target = T;

    fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
        &self.0
    }
}

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = MyBox::new(x);

    assert_eq!(5, x);
    assert_eq!(5, *y);
}
\n
    \n
  • We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator.
    • \n
  • behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method
    • \n
  • The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.
    • \n
\n

Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods

Deref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods.
Deref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str
A sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.

fn hello(name: &str) {
    println!("Hello, {}!", name);
}

fn main() {
    let m = MyBox::new(String::from("Rust"));
    hello("rust");  // ok
    hello(&m);      // also ok
    hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox<String> into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello
}
\n

Here we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.

\n

How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability

Similar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.

\n

Rust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:

\n
    \n
  • From &T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n
\n

Running Code on Cleanup with the Drop Trait

    }
}

fn main() {
    let c = CustomSmartPointer {
        data: String::from("my stuff"),
    };
    c.drop(); // not allowed
    let d = CustomSmartPointer {
        data: String::from("other stuff"),
    };
    println!("CustomSmartPointers created.");
}

        data: String::from("some data"),
    };
    println!("CustomSmartPointer created.");
    drop(c); // ok
    println!("CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.");
} // c goes out of scope, will occur double drop

\n\n\n

Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer

In the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners.
type keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.

\n

We use the Rc<T> type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.

\n

Rc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios

    let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data
    let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
}
\n\n\n

We could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.

\n

Cloning an Rc Increases the Reference Count

fn main() {
    let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));
    println!("count after creating a = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 1
    let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));
    println!("count after creating b = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
    {
        let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
        println!("count after creating c = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3
    }
    println!("count after c goes out of scope = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
}
\n

What we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.

\n

RefCell and interior mutability pattern

Interior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.
To mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.
We can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that.
The unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.

\n

Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell

Unlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.

\n

recall borrowing rules

\n
    \n
  • At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.
    • \n
  • References must always be valid.
    With references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime.
    Because RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.

        limit_tracker.set_value(80);

        assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.len(), 1);
    }
}

\n

We can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition

\n

This is a situation in which interior mutability can help!

Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell

When creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.

\n

The RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime.

            two_borrow.push(String::from(message));

Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell

A common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!

enum List {
    Cons(Rc<RefCell<i32>>, Rc<List>),
    Nil,
}

use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn main() {
    let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc<RefCell<i32>> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.

    let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); //  Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc<T> so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a

    let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));
    let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));

    *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc<T> to the inner RefCell<T> value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut<T> smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.

    println!("a after = {:?}", a);
    println!("b after = {:?}", b);
    println!("c after = {:?}", c);
}
\n\n

The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;

Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory

Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).

The memory that Rc<List> has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc<List> instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc<List> instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.

Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak

So far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.

\n

Strong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.

\n

Because the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option<Rc>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped.

trait object

Rust provides dynamic dispatch through a feature called trait objects. Trait objects, like &Foo or Box, are normal values that store a value of any type that implements the given trait, where the precise type can only be known at runtime. more details can be found on [references 1]

\n

any

This module (std::any) contains the Any trait, which enables dynamic typing of any 'static type through runtime reflection. It also contains the Provider trait and accompanying API, which enable trait objects to provide data based on typed requests, an alternate form of runtime reflection.
Any itself can be used to get a TypeId

declarative macro: macro_rules!

Declarative macros allow us to write match-like code. The match expression is a control structure that receives an expression and then matches the result of the expression with multiple patterns. Once a pattern is matched, the code associated with the pattern will be executed

trait object

Rust provides dynamic dispatch through a feature called trait objects. Trait objects, like &Foo or Box, are normal values that store a value of any type that implements the given trait, where the precise type can only be known at runtime. more details can be found on [references 1]

\n

any

This module (std::any) contains the Any trait, which enables dynamic typing of any 'static type through runtime reflection. It also contains the Provider trait and accompanying API, which enable trait objects to provide data based on typed requests, an alternate form of runtime reflection.
Any itself can be used to get a TypeId

  • Packages: A Cargo feature that lets you build, test, and share crates
    • \n
  • Crates: A tree of modules that produces a library or executable
    • \n
  • Modules and use: Let you control the organization, scope, and privacy of paths

package

    \n
  1. one package can only has one library Crate. default is src/lib.rs
    2. \n
  2. one package can have multiple binary Crates (under src/bin). default src/main.rs
    3. \n
  3. one package has at least one crate，no matter lib or bin。
    4. \n
  4. one package could simultaneously have src/main.rs and src/lib.rs (crate name same to package name)

A simplified version of the future trait might look something like this\n\n```rust\n\ntrait SimpleFuture {\n type Output;\n fn poll(&mut self, wake: fn()) -> Poll;\n}\n\nenum Poll {\n Ready(T),\n Pending,\n}\n```\n\nFor example, consider the case where we want to read from a socket that may or may not have data available already.\n```rust\npub struct SocketRead<'a> {\n socket: &'a Socket,\n}\n\nimpl SimpleFuture for SocketRead<'_> {\n type Output = Vec;\n\n fn poll(&mut self, wake: fn()) -> Poll {\n if self.socket.has_data_to_read() {\n // The socket has data -- read it into a buffer and return it.\n Poll::Ready(self.socket.read_buf())\n } else {\n // The socket does not yet have data.\n //\n // Arrange for `wake` to be called once data is available.\n // When data becomes available, `wake` will be called, and the\n // user of this `Future` will know to call `poll` again and\n // receive data.\n self.socket.set_readable_callback(wake);\n Poll::Pending\n }\n }\n}\n\n```\n\n the real Future trait and how it is different\n```rust\ntrait Future {\n type Output;\n fn poll(\n // Note the change from `&mut self` to `Pin<&mut Self>`:\n self: Pin<&mut Self>,\n // and the change from `wake: fn()` to `cx: &mut Context<'_>`:\n cx: &mut Context<'_>,\n ) -> Poll;\n}\n\n```\nThe first change you'll notice is that our self type is no longer &mut Self, but has changed to Pin<&mut Self>. We'll talk more about pinning in a later section, but for now know that it allows us to create futures that are immovable. Immovable objects can store pointers between their fields, e.g. struct MyFut { a: i32, ptr_to_a: *const i32 }. Pinning is necessary to enable async/await.\n\nSecondly, wake: fn() has changed to &mut Context<'_>. In SimpleFuture, we used a call to a function pointer (fn()) to tell the future executor that the future in question should be polled. However, since fn() is just a function pointer, it can't store any data about which Future called wake.\n\nIn a real-world scenario, a complex application like a web server may have thousands of different connections whose wakeups should all be managed separately.

The first change you’ll notice is that our self type is no longer &mut Self, but has changed to Pin<&mut Self>.

\n

In a real-world scenario, a complex application like a web server may have thousands of different connections whose wakeups should all be managed separately. The Context type solves this by providing access to a value of type Waker, which can be used to wake up a specific task.

  • renaming dependencies in Cargo.toml
    When writing a [dependencies] section in Cargo.toml the key you write for a dependency typically matches up to the name of the crate you import from in the code. For some projects, though, you may wish to reference the crate with a different name in the code regardless of how it’s published on crates.io. For example you may wish to: Avoid the need to use foo as bar in Rust source.

\n

In order to have all four basic arithmetic operations (i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) in one structure, we need a set which contains an additive and a multiplicative group. this is what we call a field.

Field

A field is a set of elements with the following properties

\n
    \n
  • all elements of \\( F\\) form an additive group with the group operation \\( + \\) and the neutral element \\( 0 \\)
    • \n

Example of Field

the set \\( R \\) of real numbers is a field with the neutral element 0 for the additive group and the neutral element 1 for the multiplicative group. every real number \\( a \\) has an additive inverse, namely \\( -a \\), and every nonzero element \\( a \\) has a multiplicative inverse \\( 1 \\div a \\)

\n

a field with order m only exists if m is a prime power, i.e, \\( m = p^{n} \\), for some positive integer n and prime integer p. p is called the characteristic of the finite field

\n

Prime Field

Extension Field GF(2^m)

In AES the finite field contains 256 elements and is denoted as \\( GF(2^8) \\).
However, if the order of a finite field is not prime, and \\( 2^8 \\) is clearly not a prime, the addition and multiplication operation cannot be represented by addition and multiplication of integers modulo \\( 2^8 \\). such fields with \\( m >1 \\) are called extension field. in order to deal with extension fields we need (1) a different notation for field elements and (2) different rules for performing arithmetic with the elements. elements of extension fields can be represented as polynomials, and computation in the extension field is achieved by performing a certain type of polynomial arithmetic.

\n

In the field \\( GF(2^8) \\), which is used in AES, each element \\( A \\in GF(2^8) \\) is thus represented as:
\\[ A(x) = a_{7}x^7 + …+a_{1}x+a_{0}, a_{i} \\in GF(2) = {0,1} \\]
It is also important to observe that every polynomial can simply be stored in digital form as an 8-bit vector
\\[ A = (a_7,a_6,a_5,a_4,a_3,a_2,a_1,a_0) \\]

addition and subtraction in GF(2^m)

addition and subtraction are simply achieved by performing polynomial addition and subtraction. note that we perform modulo 2 addition (or subtraction) with the coefficients.
\\[ A(x) = x^7 + x^6 + x^4 + 1 \\]
\\[ B(x) = x^4 + x^2+ 1 \\]
\\[ A(x) + B(x) = x^7 + x^6+ x^2 \\]

\n

multiplication in GF(2^m)

firstly, two elements (represented by their polynomials) of a finite field GF(2^m) are multiplied usig the standard polynomial multiplication rule \\[ A(x) \\dot B(x) = C(x) \\]. In general, the product polynomial \\[ C(x) \\] will have a degree higher than m-1 and has to be reduced. to do that, the product of the multiplication is divided by a certain polyhomial, and we consider only the remainder after the polynomial division. we need irreducible polynomials for the module reduction. irreducible polynomials are roughly comparable to prime numbers. their only factors are 1 and polynomial itself.
Thus, every field GF(2^m) requires an irreducible polynomial P(x) of degree m.

    2. \n
  2. Euler’s totient function
    In number theory, Euler’s totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n. It is written using the Greek letter phi as \\( \\phi (n) \\), and may also be called Euler’s phi function. In other words, it is the number of integers k in the range 1 ≤ k ≤ n for which the greatest common divisor gcd(n, k) is equal to 1. The integers k of this form are sometimes referred to as totatives of n. the collection of k is denoted by \\( Z_{n}^{\\ast } \\), and \\[ \\phi(n) = |Z_n^{\\ast }| \\]

    \\[ \\phi(n) = n \\prod_{p|n}^{}(1-\\frac{1}{p}) \\]
    where the product is over the distinct prime numbers dividing n.
    7. \n
  7. Euler’s theorem
    if \\(a\\) and \\(n\\) are coprime positive integers, and \\( \\phi(n)\\) is Euler’s totient function, then \\(a\\) raised to the power \\(\\phi(n)\\) is congruent to 1 modulo n; that is
    \\[a^{\\phi(n)} \\equiv 1 \\bmod n\\]

Naively, storing these key-value pairs as flat data would be very efficient, however, verifying their correctness becomes computationally intractable. Every time a modification would be made, we'd need to hash all that data from scratch (which is not efficient).\n\nInstead of hashing the entire dataset all the time, eth uses MPT. The original useful data would be in the leaves, and each internal node would be a hash of everything below it. This would allow us to only recalculate a logarithmic number of hashes when something is modified, inserted, deleted and verified. A tiny extra is that keys are hashed before insertion to balance the tries (secured trie).\n\n## state storage\nMPT make every read/write of O(lnN) complexity. the depth of the trie is continuously growing; LevelDB also organizes its data into a maximum of 7 levels, so there's an extra multiplier from there. The net result is that a single state access is expected to amplify into **25-50** random disk accesses. \n\nOf course all client implementations try their best to minimize this overhead. Geth uses large memory areas for caching trie nodes; and also uses in-memory pruning to avoid writing to disk nodes that get deleted anyway after a few blocks.\n\n## Not all accesses are created equal\nThe Merkle Patricia tree is essential for writes (matain the capability to verify data), but it's an overhead for reads. \nAn Ethereum node accesses state in a few different places:\n- When importing a new block, EVM code execution does a more-or-less balanced number of state reads and writes. \n- When a node operator retrieves state (e.g. eth_call and family), EVM code execution only does reads (it can write too, but those get discarded at the end and are not persisted).\n- When a node is synchronizing, it is requesting state from remote nodes that need to dig it up and serve it over the network.\n\nif we can short circuit reads not to hit the state trie, a slew of node operations will become significantly faster. \n\n## snapshot\nGeth introduced its snapshot acceleration structure (not enabled by default). A snapshot is a complete view of the Ethereum state at a given block. Abstract implementation wise, it is a dump of all accounts and storage slots, represented by a flat key-value store.\nsnapshot is maintained as an extra to MPT. The snapshot essentially reduces reads from O(log n) to O(1) at the cost of increasing writes from O(log n) to O(1 + log n). \n\n## devil's in the details\nto maintain a snapshot, the naitve approach is to apply changes to current snapshot upon new block. If there's a mini reorg however (even a single block), we're in trouble, because there's no undo. \nTo overcome this limitation, Geth's snapshot is composed of two entities: a persistent disk layer that is a complete snapshot of an older block (e.g. HEAD-128); and a tree of in-memory diff layers that gather the writes on top.\nWhenever a new block is processed, we do not merge the writes directly into the disk layer, rather just create a new in-memory diff layer with the changes. If enough in-memory diff layers are piled on top, the bottom ones start getting merged together and eventually pushed to disk. Whenever a state item is to be read, we start at the topmost diff layer and keep going backwards until we find it or reach the disk.\nOf course, there are lots and lots of gotchas and caveats.\n- On shutdown, the in-memory diff layers need to be persisted into a journal and loaded back up, otherwise the snapshot will become useless on restart.\n- Use the bottom-most diff layer as an accumulator and only flush to disk when it exceeds some memory usage.\n- Allocate a read cache for the disk layer so that contracts accessing the same ancient slot over and over don't cause disk hits.\n- Use cumulative bloom filters in the in-memory diff layers to quickly detect whether there's a chance for an item to be in the diffs, or if we can go to disk immediately.\n- The keys are not the raw data (account address, storage key), rather the hashes of these, ensuring the snapshot has the same iteration order as the Merkle Patricia tree.\n\nThe snapshot also enables blazing fast state iteration of the most recent blocks. This was actually the main reason for building snapshots, as it permitted the creation of the new snap [sync algorithm](https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/pull/145).\n\n## Consensus layer syncing\nall consensus logic and block propagation is handled by consensus clients.

state

Ethereum maintains two different types of state: the set of accounts; and a set of storage slots for each contract account. Naively, storing these key-value pairs as flat data would be very efficient, however, verifying their correctness becomes computationally intractable. Every time a modification would be made, we’d need to hash all that data from scratch (which is not efficient).

\n

Instead of hashing the entire dataset all the time, eth uses MPT. The original useful data would be in the leaves, and each internal node would be a hash of everything below it. This would allow us to only recalculate a logarithmic number of hashes when something is modified, inserted, deleted and verified. A tiny extra is that keys are hashed before insertion to balance the tries (secured trie).

\n

state storage

MPT make every read/write of O(lnN) complexity. the depth of the trie is continuously growing; LevelDB also organizes its data into a maximum of 7 levels, so there’s an extra multiplier from there. The net result is that a single state access is expected to amplify into 25-50 random disk accesses.

\n

Of course all client implementations try their best to minimize this overhead. Geth uses large memory areas for caching trie nodes; and also uses in-memory pruning to avoid writing to disk nodes that get deleted anyway after a few blocks.

\n

Not all accesses are created equal

The Merkle Patricia tree is essential for writes (matain the capability to verify data), but it’s an overhead for reads.
An Ethereum node accesses state in a few different places:

\n
    \n
  • When importing a new block, EVM code execution does a more-or-less balanced number of state reads and writes.
    • \n
  • When a node operator retrieves state (e.g. eth_call and family), EVM code execution only does reads (it can write too, but those get discarded at the end and are not persisted).
    • \n
  • When a node is synchronizing, it is requesting state from remote nodes that need to dig it up and serve it over the network.
    • \n
\n

if we can short circuit reads not to hit the state trie, a slew of node operations will become significantly faster.

\n

snapshot

Geth introduced its snapshot acceleration structure (not enabled by default). A snapshot is a complete view of the Ethereum state at a given block. Abstract implementation wise, it is a dump of all accounts and storage slots, represented by a flat key-value store.
snapshot is maintained as an extra to MPT. The snapshot essentially reduces reads from O(log n) to O(1) at the cost of increasing writes from O(log n) to O(1 + log n).

\n

devil’s in the details

to maintain a snapshot, the naitve approach is to apply changes to current snapshot upon new block. If there’s a mini reorg however (even a single block), we’re in trouble, because there’s no undo.
To overcome this limitation, Geth’s snapshot is composed of two entities: a persistent disk layer that is a complete snapshot of an older block (e.g. HEAD-128); and a tree of in-memory diff layers that gather the writes on top.
Whenever a new block is processed, we do not merge the writes directly into the disk layer, rather just create a new in-memory diff layer with the changes. If enough in-memory diff layers are piled on top, the bottom ones start getting merged together and eventually pushed to disk. Whenever a state item is to be read, we start at the topmost diff layer and keep going backwards until we find it or reach the disk.
Of course, there are lots and lots of gotchas and caveats.

\n
    \n
  • On shutdown, the in-memory diff layers need to be persisted into a journal and loaded back up, otherwise the snapshot will become useless on restart.
    • \n
  • Use the bottom-most diff layer as an accumulator and only flush to disk when it exceeds some memory usage.
    • \n
  • Allocate a read cache for the disk layer so that contracts accessing the same ancient slot over and over don’t cause disk hits.
    • \n
  • Use cumulative bloom filters in the in-memory diff layers to quickly detect whether there’s a chance for an item to be in the diffs, or if we can go to disk immediately.
    • \n
  • The keys are not the raw data (account address, storage key), rather the hashes of these, ensuring the snapshot has the same iteration order as the Merkle Patricia tree.
    • \n
\n

The snapshot also enables blazing fast state iteration of the most recent blocks. This was actually the main reason for building snapshots, as it permitted the creation of the new snap sync algorithm.

all consensus logic and block propagation is handled by consensus clients. Blocks are downloaded by the consensus client and verified by the execution client. Geth cannot sync without being connected to a consensus client.
There are two ways for the consensus client to find a block header that Geth can use as a sync target: optimistic syncing and checkpoint syncing:

overview

this post is my reading summary of paper Yehuda Lindell 2017: Fast secure two-party ecdsa signing. the implementation could be found in tss-lib (golang), zengo’s library (rust).

\n

Unlike other schemes like RSA, Schnorr signatures and more, it is particularly hard to construct efficient threshold signature protocols for ECDSA as there is an inverse computaion of \\( k \\).

\n

In this paper, we consider the specific case of two parties (and thus no honest majority) and con-struct a protocol that is approximately two orders of magnitude faster than the previous best.

\n

Comparing ECDSA signing to EC-Schnorr signing

In both cases, the public verification key is an elliptic curve point \\( Q \\) and the private signing key is \\( x \\) such that \\( Q = x \\cdot G \\), where \\( G \\) is the generator point of an EC group of order \\( q \\).
\"schnorr

\n

Observe that Schnorr signing can be easily distributed since the private key \\( x \\) and the value k are both used in a linear equation. In contrast, in ECDSA signing, the equation for computing \\( s \\) includes \\( k^{-1} \\). Now, given shares \\(k_1\\), \\(k_2\\) such that \\(k_1 + k_2 = k \\bmod q\\) .It is very difficult to compute \\(k_1^{\\prime}\\), \\(k_2^{\\prime}\\) such that \\(k_1^{\\prime} + k_2^{\\prime} = k^{-1} \\bmod q\\)

\n

two-party protocols for ECDSA signing use multiplicative sharing of \\( x \\) and of \\( k \\). That is, the parties hold \\(x_1\\), \\(x_2\\) such that \\(x_1 \\cdot x_2 = x \\bmod q\\), and in each signing operation they generate \\(k_1\\), \\(k_2\\) such that \\(k_1 \\cdot k_2 = k \\bmod q\\).

LazyCell

A value which is initialized on the first access

\n

UnsafeCell

UnsafeCell<T> opts-out of the immutability guarantee for &T: a shared reference &UnsafeCell<T> may point to data that is being mutated. This is called interior mutability.
All other types that allow internal mutability, such as Cell<T> and RefCell<T>, internally use UnsafeCell to wrap their data.
Note that only the immutability guarantee for shared references is affected by UnsafeCell. The uniqueness guarantee for mutable references is unaffected (only one mutable reference at one time, or multiple immutable reference).

\n

methods

    \n
  • pub const fn get(&self) -> *mut T
    Gets a mutable pointer to the wrapped value.
    • \n
  • pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
    Returns a mutable reference to the underlying data
    • \n
  • pub const fn raw_get(this: *const UnsafeCell<T>) -> *mut T
    Gets a mutable pointer to the wrapped value. The difference from get is that this function accepts a raw pointer, which is useful to avoid the creation of temporary references. e.g. Gradual initialization of an UnsafeCell requires raw_get, as calling get would require creating a reference to uninitialized data:

    unsafe { UnsafeCell::raw_get(m.as_ptr()).write(5); }
    let uc = unsafe { m.assume_init() };

    assert_eq!(uc.into_inner(), 5);
    • \n
  • fn into_inner(self) -> T
    Unwraps the value, consuming the cell.
    • \n

SyncUnsafeCell

This is just an UnsafeCell, except it implements Sync if T implements Sync.

Note that you also need to explicitly provide the network_id on the command line for the public testnets such as Sepolia or Geoerli:\n```\n./geth --sepolia dumpconfig > geth-config.toml\n```\nto specify path to config file\n```\ngeth --sepolia --config geth-config.toml\n```\n\n## key configs\n- [Eth].TxLookupLimit \nNumber of recent blocks to maintain transactions index for (default = about one year, 0 = entire chain), default: 2350000\n- [Node].BootstrapNodes\nused to establish connectivity with the rest of the network.\ngeth provides default bootstrapNodes in file `params/bootnodes.go`\n- [Metrics_AND_STATS].ethstats\nReporting URL of a ethstats service (nodename:secret@host:port), [more detail](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/monitoring/ethstats)\n- SyncMode\n- TrieDirtyCache\n- NoPruning\n- TrieCleanCacheJournal e.g triecache\n## how geth starts\n\n![geth starts](/images/geth_starts.drawio.png)\nthe main func is in `cmd/geth/main.go`\n```go\nfunc main() {\n\tif err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {\n\t\tfmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)\n\t\tos.Exit(1)\n\t}\n}\n```\nthe main() function is very short, and its main function is to start a tool for parsing command line commands: `gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1`. Going deeper, we will find that `app.Action = geth` will be called when the cli app is initialized to call the geth() function\n```go\nfunc init() {\n\t// Initialize the CLI app and start Geth\n\tapp.Action = geth\n // ....\n}\n```\ngeth is the main entry point into the system if no special subcommand is run. It creates a default node based on the command line arguments and runs it in blocking mode, waiting for it to be shut down.\n```go\nfunc geth(ctx *cli.Context) error {\n\tif args := ctx.Args().Slice(); len(args) > 0 {\n\t\treturn fmt.Errorf(\"invalid command: %q\", args[0])\n\t}\n\n\tprepare(ctx)\n\tstack, backend := makeFullNode(ctx)\n\tdefer stack.Close()\n\n\tstartNode(ctx, stack, backend, false)\n\tstack.Wait()\n\treturn nil\n}\n```\nIn the geth() function, there are three important function calls, namely: `prepare()`, `makeFullNode()`, and `startNode()`.\n\n### prepare\nThe implementation of the prepare() function is in the current main.go file. It is mainly used to set some configurations required for node initialization.\n\n### makeFullNode\nThe implementation of the `makeFullNode()` function is located in the `cmd/geth/config.go` file. It will load the context of the command and apply user given configuration; and generate instances of `stack` and `backend`. Among them, `stack` is an instance of `Node` type (Node is the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth. It is responsible for managing high-level abstractions such as P2P Server, Http Server, and Database in the node. The definition of the Node type is located in the `node/node.go` file), which is initialized by calling `makeConfigNode()` function through `makeFullNode()` function. inside `makeFullNode`, it calls `node.New(&cfg.Node)` to initiate a node. During instantiating of node, it invokes `rpc.NewServer()` to create a new rpc server and put in the field `inprocHandler`. it registers `rpc` api namespace by default.\n\nThe `backend` here is an interface of `ethapi.Backend` type, which provides the basic functions needed to obtain the runtime of the Ethereum execution layer. Its definition is located in `internal/ethapi/backend.go`. Since there are many functions in this interface, we have selected some of the key functions as below for a glimpse of its functionality. `backend` is created by calling `backend, eth := utils.RegisterEthService(stack, &cfg.Eth)`. Inside, it calls `eth.New(stack, cfg)` to create `backend` instance. During `backend` initiating, it opens database (`chainDb, err := stack.OpenDatabaseWithFreezer(\"chaindata\", config.DatabaseCache, config.DatabaseHandles, config.DatabaseFreezer, \"eth/db/chaindata/\", false)`). Further, it creates consensus engine, `engine := ethconfig.CreateConsensusEngine(stack, ðashConfig, cliqueConfig, config.Miner.Notify, config.Miner.Noverify, chainDb)`. goerli testnet use POA consensus (clique). \n```go\ntype Backend interface {\n\tSyncProgress() ethereum.SyncProgress\n\tSuggestGasTipCap(ctx context.Context) (*big.Int, error)\n\tChainDb() ethdb.Database\n\tAccountManager() *accounts.Manager\n\tExtRPCEnabled() bool\n\tRPCGasCap() uint64 // global gas cap for eth_call over rpc: DoS protection\n\tRPCEVMTimeout() time.Duration // global timeout for eth_call over rpc: DoS protection\n\tRPCTxFeeCap() float64 // global tx fee cap for all transaction related APIs\n\tUnprotectedAllowed() bool // allows only for EIP155 transactions.\n\tSetHead(number uint64)\n\tHeaderByNumber(ctx context.Context, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*types.Header, error)\n\tHeaderByHash(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (*types.Header, error)\n\tHeaderByNumberOrHash(ctx context.Context, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash) (*types.Header, error)\n\tCurrentHeader() *types.Header\n\tCurrentBlock() *types.Header\n\tBlockByNumber(ctx context.Context, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*types.Block, error)\n\tBlockByHash(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (*types.Block, error)\n\tBlockByNumberOrHash(ctx context.Context, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash) (*types.Block, error)\n\tStateAndHeaderByNumber(ctx context.Context, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*state.StateDB, *types.Header, error)\n\tStateAndHeaderByNumberOrHash(ctx context.Context, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash) (*state.StateDB, *types.Header, error)\n\tPendingBlockAndReceipts() (*types.Block, types.Receipts)\n\tGetReceipts(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (types.Receipts, error)\n\tGetTd(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) *big.Int\n\tGetEVM(ctx context.Context, msg *core.Message, state *state.StateDB, header *types.Header, vmConfig *vm.Config) (*vm.EVM, func() error, error)\n\tSubscribeChainEvent(ch chan<- core.ChainEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribeChainHeadEvent(ch chan<- core.ChainHeadEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribeChainSideEvent(ch chan<- core.ChainSideEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSendTx(ctx context.Context, signedTx *types.Transaction) error\n\tGetTransaction(ctx context.Context, txHash common.Hash) (*types.Transaction, common.Hash, uint64, uint64, error)\n\tGetPoolTransactions() (types.Transactions, error)\n\tGetPoolTransaction(txHash common.Hash) *types.Transaction\n\tGetPoolNonce(ctx context.Context, addr common.Address) (uint64, error)\n\tStats() (pending int, queued int)\n\tTxPoolContent() (map[common.Address]types.Transactions, map[common.Address]types.Transactions)\n\tTxPoolContentFrom(addr common.Address) (types.Transactions, types.Transactions)\n\tSubscribeNewTxsEvent(chan<- core.NewTxsEvent) event.Subscription\n\tChainConfig() *params.ChainConfig\n\tEngine() consensus.Engine\n\tGetBody(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*types.Body, error)\n\tGetLogs(ctx context.Context, blockHash common.Hash, number uint64) ([][]*types.Log, error)\n\tSubscribeRemovedLogsEvent(ch chan<- core.RemovedLogsEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribeLogsEvent(ch chan<- []*types.Log) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribePendingLogsEvent(ch chan<- []*types.Log) event.Subscription\n\tBloomStatus() (uint64, uint64)\n\tServiceFilter(ctx context.Context, session *bloombits.MatcherSession)\n}\n```\n\nIf readers want to customize some new RPC APIs, they can define functions in the /internal/ethapi.Backend interface and add specific implementations to EthAPIBackend\n\n### startNode\nThe last key function, `startNode()`, is to officially start an Ethereum execution layer node. It starts the Stack instance (Node) by calling the utils.StartNode() function which triggers the Node.Start() function. In the Node.Start() function, it traverses the backend instances registered in `Node.lifecycles` and starts them. In addition, in the startNode() function, the unlockAccounts() function is still called, and the unlocked wallet is registered in the stack, and the RPClient module that interacts with local Geth is created through the stack.Attach() function\n\nAt the end of the geth() function, the function executes `stack.Wait()`, so that the main thread enters the blocking state, and the services of other functional modules are distributed to other sub-coroutines for maintenance\n\n## Node\nAs we mentioned earlier, the Node type belongs to the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth, and it is responsible for being the administrator of the high-level abstract module communicating with the outside world, such as managing rpc server, http server, Web Socket, and P2P Server external interface . At the same time, Node maintains the back-end instances and services (lifecycles []Lifecycle) required for node operation, such as the Ethereum type we mentioned above that is responsible for the specific Service\n```go\ntype Node struct {\n\teventmux *event.TypeMux\n\tconfig *Config\n\taccman *accounts.Manager\n\tlog log.Logger\n\tkeyDir string // key store directory\n\tkeyDirTemp bool // If true, key directory will be removed by Stop\n\tdirLock *flock.Flock // prevents concurrent use of instance directory\n\tstop chan struct{} // Channel to wait for termination notifications\n\tserver *p2p.Server // Currently running P2P networking layer\n\tstartStopLock sync.Mutex // Start/Stop are protected by an additional lock\n\tstate int // Tracks state of node lifecycle\n\n\tlock sync.Mutex\n\tlifecycles []Lifecycle // All registered backends, services, and auxiliary services that have a lifecycle\n\trpcAPIs []rpc.API // List of APIs currently provided by the node\n\thttp *httpServer //\n\tws *httpServer //\n\thttpAuth *httpServer //\n\twsAuth *httpServer //\n\tipc *ipcServer // Stores information about the ipc http server\n\tinprocHandler *rpc.Server // In-process RPC request handler to process the API requests\n\n\tdatabases map[*closeTrackingDB]struct{} // All open databases\n}\n```\n\n### close node\nAs mentioned earlier, the main thread of the entire program is blocked because of calling `stack.Wait()`. We can see that a channel called `stop` is declared in the Node structure. Since this Channel has not been assigned a value, the main process of the entire geth enters the blocking state, and continues to execute other business coroutines concurrently\n```go\n// Wait blocks until the node is closed.\nfunc (n *Node) Wait() {\n <-n.stop\n}\n```\nWhen the Channel n.stop is assigned a value, the geth main function will stop the current blocking state and start to perform a series of corresponding resource release operations.\nIt is worth noting that in the current codebase of go-ethereum, the blocking state of the main process is not ended directly by assigning a value to the stop channel, but a more concise and rude way is used: call the close() function directly Close the Channel. We can find the related implementation in node.doClose(). close() is a native function of go language, used when closing Channel.\n```go\n// doClose releases resources acquired by New(), collecting errors.\nfunc (n *Node) doClose(errs []error) error {\n // Close databases. This needs the lock because it needs to\n // synchronize with OpenDatabase*.\n n.lock.Lock()\n n.state = closedState\n errs = append(errs, n.closeDatabases()...)\n n.lock.Unlock()\n\n if err := n.accman.Close(); err != nil {\n errs = append(errs, err)\n }\n if n.keyDirTemp {\n if err := os.RemoveAll(n.keyDir); err != nil {\n errs = append(errs, err)\n }\n }\n\n // Release instance directory lock.\n n.closeDataDir()\n\n // Unblock n.Wait.\n close(n.stop)\n\n // Report any errors that might have occurred.\n switch len(errs) {\n case 0:\n return nil\n case 1:\n return errs[0]\n default:\n return fmt.Errorf(\"%v\", errs)\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Ethereum Backend\nWe can find the definition of the Ethereum structure in eth/backend.go. The member variables and receiving methods contained in this structure implement all the functions and data structures required by an Ethereum full node. We can see in the following code definition that the Ethereum structure contains several core data structures such as TxPool, Blockchain, consensus.Engine, and miner as member variables.\n```go\ntype Ethereum struct {\n\tconfig *ethconfig.Config\n\n\t// Handlers\n\ttxPool *txpool.TxPool\n\tblockchain *core.BlockChain\n\thandler *handler\n\tethDialCandidates enode.Iterator\n\tsnapDialCandidates enode.Iterator\n\tmerger *consensus.Merger\n\n\t// DB interfaces\n\tchainDb ethdb.Database // Block chain database\n\n\teventMux *event.TypeMux\n\tengine consensus.Engine\n\taccountManager *accounts.Manager\n\n\tbloomRequests chan chan *bloombits.Retrieval // Channel receiving bloom data retrieval requests\n\tbloomIndexer *core.ChainIndexer // Bloom indexer operating during block imports\n\tcloseBloomHandler chan struct{}\n\n\tAPIBackend *EthAPIBackend\n\n\tminer *miner.Miner\n\tgasPrice *big.Int\n\tetherbase common.Address\n\n\tnetworkID uint64\n\tnetRPCService *ethapi.NetAPI\n\n\tp2pServer *p2p.Server\n\n\tlock sync.RWMutex // Protects the variadic fields (e.g. gas price and etherbase)\n\n\tshutdownTracker *shutdowncheck.ShutdownTracker // Tracks if and when the node has shutdown ungracefully\n}\n```\nNodes start and stop Mining by calling `Ethereum.StartMining()` and `Ethereum.StopMining()`. Setting the profit account of Mining is achieved by calling `Ethereum.SetEtherbase()`\nHere we pay extra attention to the member variable `handler`. The definition of `handler` is in `eth/handler.go`.\nFrom a macro point of view, the main workflow of a node needs to: 1. Obtain/synchronize Transaction and Block data from the network 2. Add the Block obtained from the network to the Blockchain. The handler is responsible for providing the function of synchronizing blocks and transaction data, for example, `downloader.Downloader` is responsible for synchronizing Block from the network, and `fetcher.TxFetcher` is responsible for synchronizing transactions from the network","source":"_posts/geth/code_analysis/geth.0.get.start.md","raw":"---\ntitle: geth start\ndate: 2022-11-01 18:15:12\ntags: [blockchain,geth]\n---\n\n## build from source\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git\ncd go-ethereum\nmake geth\n```\n\n## understanding geth config\ngeth config type is defined in /cmd/geth/config.go\n```go\ntype gethConfig struct {\n\tEth ethconfig.Config\n\tNode node.Config\n\tEthstats ethstatsConfig\n\tMetrics metrics.Config\n}\n```\n- **ethconfig** (eth/ethconfig/config.go)\ncontains configuration options for of the ETH and LES(light node) protocols, such as NetworkId, SyncMode, txpool.Config, database options\n- **nodeConfig** (node/config.go)\nrepresents a small collection of configuration values to fine tune the P2P network layer of a protocol stack.

The config file should be a .toml file. A convenient way to create a config file is to get Geth to create one for you and use it as a template. To do this, use the dumpconfig command, saving the result to a .toml file. Note that you also need to explicitly provide the network_id on the command line for the public testnets such as Sepolia or Geoerli:

func main() {
\tif err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {
\t\tfmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
\t\tos.Exit(1)
\t}
}
\n

the main() function is very short, and its main function is to start a tool for parsing command line commands: gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1. Going deeper, we will find that app.Action = geth will be called when the cli app is initialized to call the geth() function

\n

func init() {
\t// Initialize the CLI app and start Geth
\tapp.Action = geth
    // ....
}
\n

geth is the main entry point into the system if no special subcommand is run. It creates a default node based on the command line arguments and runs it in blocking mode, waiting for it to be shut down.

\tprepare(ctx)
\tstack, backend := makeFullNode(ctx)
\tdefer stack.Close()

\tstartNode(ctx, stack, backend, false)
\tstack.Wait()
\treturn nil
}
\n

In the geth() function, there are three important function calls, namely: prepare(), makeFullNode(), and startNode().

\n

prepare

The implementation of the prepare() function is in the current main.go file. It is mainly used to set some configurations required for node initialization.

\n

makeFullNode

The implementation of the makeFullNode() function is located in the cmd/geth/config.go file. It will load the context of the command and apply user given configuration; and generate instances of stack and backend. Among them, stack is an instance of Node type (Node is the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth. It is responsible for managing high-level abstractions such as P2P Server, Http Server, and Database in the node. The definition of the Node type is located in the node/node.go file), which is initialized by calling makeConfigNode() function through makeFullNode() function. inside makeFullNode, it calls node.New(&cfg.Node) to initiate a node. During instantiating of node, it invokes rpc.NewServer() to create a new rpc server and put in the field inprocHandler. it registers rpc api namespace by default.

\n

The backend here is an interface of ethapi.Backend type, which provides the basic functions needed to obtain the runtime of the Ethereum execution layer. Its definition is located in internal/ethapi/backend.go. Since there are many functions in this interface, we have selected some of the key functions as below for a glimpse of its functionality. backend is created by calling backend, eth := utils.RegisterEthService(stack, &cfg.Eth). Inside, it calls eth.New(stack, cfg) to create backend instance. During backend initiating, it opens database (chainDb, err := stack.OpenDatabaseWithFreezer("chaindata", config.DatabaseCache, config.DatabaseHandles, config.DatabaseFreezer, "eth/db/chaindata/", false)). Further, it creates consensus engine, engine := ethconfig.CreateConsensusEngine(stack, &ethashConfig, cliqueConfig, config.Miner.Notify, config.Miner.Noverify, chainDb). goerli testnet use POA consensus (clique).

\n\n

If readers want to customize some new RPC APIs, they can define functions in the /internal/ethapi.Backend interface and add specific implementations to EthAPIBackend

\n

startNode

The last key function, startNode(), is to officially start an Ethereum execution layer node. It starts the Stack instance (Node) by calling the utils.StartNode() function which triggers the Node.Start() function. In the Node.Start() function, it traverses the backend instances registered in Node.lifecycles and starts them. In addition, in the startNode() function, the unlockAccounts() function is still called, and the unlocked wallet is registered in the stack, and the RPClient module that interacts with local Geth is created through the stack.Attach() function

\n

At the end of the geth() function, the function executes stack.Wait(), so that the main thread enters the blocking state, and the services of other functional modules are distributed to other sub-coroutines for maintenance

\n

Node

As we mentioned earlier, the Node type belongs to the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth, and it is responsible for being the administrator of the high-level abstract module communicating with the outside world, such as managing rpc server, http server, Web Socket, and P2P Server external interface . At the same time, Node maintains the back-end instances and services (lifecycles []Lifecycle) required for node operation, such as the Ethereum type we mentioned above that is responsible for the specific Service

\tinprocHandler *rpc.Server // In-process RPC request handler to process the API requests

\tdatabases map[*closeTrackingDB]struct{} // All open databases
}
\n\n

close node

As mentioned earlier, the main thread of the entire program is blocked because of calling stack.Wait(). We can see that a channel called stop is declared in the Node structure. Since this Channel has not been assigned a value, the main process of the entire geth enters the blocking state, and continues to execute other business coroutines concurrently

\n
1
2
3
4
// Wait blocks until the node is closed.
func (n *Node) Wait() {
 <-n.stop
}
\n

When the Channel n.stop is assigned a value, the geth main function will stop the current blocking state and start to perform a series of corresponding resource release operations.
It is worth noting that in the current codebase of go-ethereum, the blocking state of the main process is not ended directly by assigning a value to the stop channel, but a more concise and rude way is used: call the close() function directly Close the Channel. We can find the related implementation in node.doClose(). close() is a native function of go language, used when closing Channel.

Ethereum Backend

We can find the definition of the Ethereum structure in eth/backend.go. The member variables and receiving methods contained in this structure implement all the functions and data structures required by an Ethereum full node. We can see in the following code definition that the Ethereum structure contains several core data structures such as TxPool, Blockchain, consensus.Engine, and miner as member variables.

Nodes start and stop Mining by calling Ethereum.StartMining() and Ethereum.StopMining(). Setting the profit account of Mining is achieved by calling Ethereum.SetEtherbase()
Here we pay extra attention to the member variable handler. The definition of handler is in eth/handler.go.
From a macro point of view, the main workflow of a node needs to: 1. Obtain/synchronize Transaction and Block data from the network 2. Add the Block obtained from the network to the Blockchain. The handler is responsible for providing the function of synchronizing blocks and transaction data, for example, downloader.Downloader is responsible for synchronizing Block from the network, and fetcher.TxFetcher is responsible for synchronizing transactions from the network

Its definition is located in internal/ethapi/backend.go. Since there are many functions in this interface, we have selected some of the key functions as below for a glimpse of its functionality. backend is created by calling backend, eth := utils.RegisterEthService(stack, &cfg.Eth). Inside, it calls eth.New(stack, cfg) to create backend instance. During backend initiating, it opens database (chainDb, err := stack.OpenDatabaseWithFreezer("chaindata", config.DatabaseCache, config.DatabaseHandles, config.DatabaseFreezer, "eth/db/chaindata/", false)). Further, it creates consensus engine, engine := ethconfig.CreateConsensusEngine(stack, &ethashConfig, cliqueConfig, config.Miner.Notify, config.Miner.Noverify, chainDb). goerli testnet use POA consensus (clique).

If readers want to customize some new RPC APIs, they can define functions in the /internal/ethapi.Backend interface and add specific implementations to EthAPIBackend

\n

startNode

The last key function, startNode(), is to officially start an Ethereum execution layer node. It starts the Stack instance (Node) by calling the utils.StartNode() function which triggers the Node.Start() function. In the Node.Start() function, it traverses the backend instances registered in Node.lifecycles and starts them. In addition, in the startNode() function, the unlockAccounts() function is still called, and the unlocked wallet is registered in the stack, and the RPClient module that interacts with local Geth is created through the stack.Attach() function

\n

At the end of the geth() function, the function executes stack.Wait(), so that the main thread enters the blocking state, and the services of other functional modules are distributed to other sub-coroutines for maintenance

\n

Node

As we mentioned earlier, the Node type belongs to the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth, and it is responsible for being the administrator of the high-level abstract module communicating with the outside world, such as managing rpc server, http server, Web Socket, and P2P Server external interface . At the same time, Node maintains the back-end instances and services (lifecycles []Lifecycle) required for node operation, such as the Ethereum type we mentioned above that is responsible for the specific Service

close node

As mentioned earlier, the main thread of the entire program is blocked because of calling stack.Wait(). We can see that a channel called stop is declared in the Node structure. Since this Channel has not been assigned a value, the main process of the entire geth enters the blocking state, and continues to execute other business coroutines concurrently

\n
1
2
3
4
// Wait blocks until the node is closed.
func (n *Node) Wait() {
 <-n.stop
}
\n

When the Channel n.stop is assigned a value, the geth main function will stop the current blocking state and start to perform a series of corresponding resource release operations.
It is worth noting that in the current codebase of go-ethereum, the blocking state of the main process is not ended directly by assigning a value to the stop channel, but a more concise and rude way is used: call the close() function directly Close the Channel. We can find the related implementation in node.doClose(). close() is a native function of go language, used when closing Channel.

Ethereum Backend

We can find the definition of the Ethereum structure in eth/backend.go. The member variables and receiving methods contained in this structure implement all the functions and data structures required by an Ethereum full node. We can see in the following code definition that the Ethereum structure contains several core data structures such as TxPool, Blockchain, consensus.Engine, and miner as member variables.

Nodes start and stop Mining by calling Ethereum.StartMining() and Ethereum.StopMining(). Setting the profit account of Mining is achieved by calling Ethereum.SetEtherbase()
Here we pay extra attention to the member variable handler. The definition of handler is in eth/handler.go.
From a macro point of view, the main workflow of a node needs to: 1. Obtain/synchronize Transaction and Block data from the network 2. Add the Block obtained from the network to the Blockchain. The handler is responsible for providing the function of synchronizing blocks and transaction data, for example, downloader.Downloader is responsible for synchronizing Block from the network, and fetcher.TxFetcher is responsible for synchronizing transactions from the network

Whilst snapshots do grant us a 10x read performance, EVM execution also writes data, and these writes need to be Merkle proven. The Merkle proof requirement retains the necessity for `O(logN)` disk access on writes. \nProblems it solves\n- **DoS** In 2016, Ethereum sustained its worse DoS attack ever - The [Shanghai Attacks](https://2017.edcon.io/ppt/one/Martin%20Holst%20Swende_The%20%27Shanghai%20%27Attacks_EDCON.pdf) - that lasted about 2-3 months. The attack revolved around bloating Ethereum's state and abusing various underpriced opcodes to grind the network to a halt. After numerous client optimizations and repricing hard forks, the attack was repelled. The root cause still lingers: state access opcodes have a fixed EVM gas cost O(1), but an ever slowly increasing execution cost O(logN). Snapshots on the other hand reduce execution cost of state reads to O(1) - in line with EVM costs - thus solves the read-based DoS issues long term.\n- **Call** Checking a smart contract's state in Ethereum entails a mini EVM execution. Part of that is running bytecode and part of it is reading state slots from disk. snap makes the state access faster.\n- **Sync** There are two major ways you can synchronize an Ethereum node. You can download the blocks and execute all the transactions within; or you can download the blocks, verify the PoWs and download the state associated a recent block. The latter is much faster, but it relies on benefactors serving you a copy of the recent state. With the current Merkle-Patricia state model, these benefactors read 16TB of data off disk to serve a syncing node. Snapshots enable serving nodes to read only **96GB** of data off disk to get a new node joined into the network.\n\ndrawbacks of snapshot\n- A snapshot is a redundant copy of the raw Ethereum state already contained in the leaves of the Merkle Patricia trie. \nuser can disable snapshot via `--snapshot=false`\n\n## snap sync\nWhen Ethereum launched, you could choose from two different ways to synchronize the network: full sync and fast sync。 Full sync operated by downloading the entire chain and executing all transactions; vs. fast sync placed an initial trust in a recent-ish block, and directly downloaded the state associated with it (after which it switched to block execution like full sync). \n- **full sync** minimized trust, choosing to execute all transactions from genesis to head. \n- **fast sync** chose to rely on the security of the PoWs.it assumed that a block with 64 valid PoWs on top would be prohibitively expensive for someone to construct, as such it's ok to download the state associated with `HEAD-64`\n\n### delays of fast sync\n- network latency (download node)\n- io latency (level db random disk access)\n- upload latency (requst with node `hash` to remote servers)\n\nThe core idea of `snap sync` is fairly simple: instead of downloading the trie node-by-node, snap sync downloads the contiguous chunks of useful state data, and reconstructs the Merkle trie locally:\n- Without downloading intermediate Merkle trie nodes, state data can be fetched in large batches, removing the delay caused by network latency.\n- Without downloading Merkle nodes, downstream data drops to half; and without addressing each piece of data individually, upstream data gets insignificant, removing the delay caused by bandwidth.\n- Without requesting randomly keyed data, peers do only a couple contiguous disk reads to serve the responses, removing the delay of disk IO\n\n## offline pruning\nWhen processing a new block, a node takes the current state of the network as input data and mutates it according to the transactions in the block. only state diff is kept. Pushing these new pieces of state data, block-by-block, to the database is a problem. They keep accumulating. In theory we could \"just delete\" state data that's old enough to not run the risk of a reorg. it's exceedingly costly to figure out if a node deep within an old state is still referenced by anything newer or not.\nIf you have snapshots enabled and fully generated, Geth can use those as an acceleration structure to relatively quickly determine which trie nodes should be kept and which should be deleted. Pruning trie nodes based on snapshots does have the drawback that the chain may not progress during pruning. This means, that you need to stop Geth, prune its database and then restart it. To prune your database, please run `geth snapshot prune-state`.\n\n## transaction unindexing\nNode operators always took it for granted that they can look up an arbitrary transaction from the past, given only its hash. To make transactions searchable, we need to - at minimum - map the entire range of transaction hashes to the blocks they are in. It's also important to note that transaction indices are not part of consensus and are not part of the network protocol. They are purely a locally generated acceleration structure.\nGeth v1.10.0 switches on transaction unindexing by default and sets it to 2,350,000 blocks (about 1 year). The transaction unindexer will linger in the background, and every time a new block arrives, it ensures that only transactions from the most recent N blocks are indexed, deleting older ones. user can use `--txlookuplimit` to control the indexing block range\n\n## preimage discarding\nEthereum stores all its data in a Merkle Patricia trie. The values in the leaves are the raw data being stored (e.g. storage slot content, account content), and the path to the leaf is the key at which the data is stored. The keys however are not the account addresses or storage addresses, rather the Keccak256 hashes of those. This helps balance the branch depths of the state tries.\nthe preimage is the actual key related to the hash. The preimages aren't particularly heavy. If you do a full sync from genesis - reexecuting all the transactions - you'll only end up with 5GB extra load. Still, there is no reason to keep that data around for users not using it, as it only increases the load on LevelDB compactions. As such, Geth v1.10.0 disables preimage collection by default, but there's no mechanism to actively delete already stored preimages.\nIf you are using your Geth instance to debug transactions, you can retain the original behavior via `--cache.preimages`. \n\n## ETH/66 protocol\nThe eth/66 protocol is a fairly small change, yet has quite a number of beneficial implications. In short, the protocol introduces request and reply IDs for all bidirectional packets. The goal behind these IDs is to more easily match up responses to requests, specifically, to more easily deliver a response to a subsystem that made the original request.\n\n## chainid enforcement\nGeth v1.10.0 supports reverting to the old behavior and accepting non-EIP155 transactions via --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs. Be advised that this is a temporary mechanism that will be removed long term.\n\n## Database introspection\nEvery now and again we receive an issue report about a corrupted database, with no real way to debug it. Geth v1.10.0 ships a built-in database introspection tool to try and alleviate the situation a bit. It is a very low level accessor to LevelDB, but it allows arbitrary data retrievals, insertions and deletions. We are unsure how useful these will turn out to be, but they at least give a fighting chance to restore a broken node without having to resync.\n\n## Unclean shutdown tracking\nFairly often we receive bug reports that Geth started importing old blocks on startup. This phenomenon is generally caused by the node operator terminating Geth abruptly (power outage, OOM killer, too short shutdown timeout). Since Geth keeps a lot of dirty state in memory - to avoid writing to disk things that get stale a few blocks later - an abrupt shutdown can cause these to not be flushed. With recent state missing on startup, Geth has no choice but to rewind it's local chain to the point where it last saved the progress.\n\nGeth v1.10.0 will start tracking and reporting node crashes. We're hopeful that this will allow operatos to detect that their infra is misconfigured or has issue before those turn into irreversible data loss.\n```\nWARN [03-03|06:36:38.734] Unclean shutdown detected booted=2021-02-03T06:47:28+0000 age=3w6d23h\n```\n\n## references\n- [eth foundation blog]()","source":"_posts/geth/tech_docs/geth.v1.10.0.md","raw":"---\ntitle: geth v1.10.0 summary\ndate: 2023-03-15 16:29:43\ntags: [geth]\n---\n\n## introduction\ngeth v1.10.0 has been [released](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.10.0) on Mar 4 2021. this is a late summary of v1.10.0.\n\n## snapshots\nthe snapshot feature reduces the cost of accessing an account from `O(logN)` to `O(1)`.

introduction

geth v1.10.0 has been released on Mar 4 2021. this is a late summary of v1.10.0.

\n

snapshots

the snapshot feature reduces the cost of accessing an account from O(logN) to O(1). Whilst snapshots do grant us a 10x read performance, EVM execution also writes data, and these writes need to be Merkle proven. The Merkle proof requirement retains the necessity for O(logN) disk access on writes.
Problems it solves

\n
    \n
  • DoS In 2016, Ethereum sustained its worse DoS attack ever - The Shanghai Attacks - that lasted about 2-3 months. The attack revolved around bloating Ethereum’s state and abusing various underpriced opcodes to grind the network to a halt. After numerous client optimizations and repricing hard forks, the attack was repelled. The root cause still lingers: state access opcodes have a fixed EVM gas cost O(1), but an ever slowly increasing execution cost O(logN). Snapshots on the other hand reduce execution cost of state reads to O(1) - in line with EVM costs - thus solves the read-based DoS issues long term.
    • \n
  • Call Checking a smart contract’s state in Ethereum entails a mini EVM execution. Part of that is running bytecode and part of it is reading state slots from disk. snap makes the state access faster.
    • \n
  • Sync There are two major ways you can synchronize an Ethereum node. You can download the blocks and execute all the transactions within; or you can download the blocks, verify the PoWs and download the state associated a recent block. The latter is much faster, but it relies on benefactors serving you a copy of the recent state. With the current Merkle-Patricia state model, these benefactors read 16TB of data off disk to serve a syncing node. Snapshots enable serving nodes to read only 96GB of data off disk to get a new node joined into the network.
    • \n
\n

drawbacks of snapshot

\n
    \n
  • A snapshot is a redundant copy of the raw Ethereum state already contained in the leaves of the Merkle Patricia trie.
    user can disable snapshot via --snapshot=false
    • \n
\n

snap sync

When Ethereum launched, you could choose from two different ways to synchronize the network: full sync and fast sync。 Full sync operated by downloading the entire chain and executing all transactions; vs. fast sync placed an initial trust in a recent-ish block, and directly downloaded the state associated with it (after which it switched to block execution like full sync).

\n
    \n
  • full sync minimized trust, choosing to execute all transactions from genesis to head.
    • \n
  • fast sync chose to rely on the security of the PoWs.it assumed that a block with 64 valid PoWs on top would be prohibitively expensive for someone to construct, as such it’s ok to download the state associated with HEAD-64
    • \n
\n

delays of fast sync

    \n
  • network latency (download node)
    • \n
  • io latency (level db random disk access)
    • \n
  • upload latency (requst with node hash to remote servers)
    • \n
\n

The core idea of snap sync is fairly simple: instead of downloading the trie node-by-node, snap sync downloads the contiguous chunks of useful state data, and reconstructs the Merkle trie locally:

\n
    \n
  • Without downloading intermediate Merkle trie nodes, state data can be fetched in large batches, removing the delay caused by network latency.
    • \n
  • Without downloading Merkle nodes, downstream data drops to half; and without addressing each piece of data individually, upstream data gets insignificant, removing the delay caused by bandwidth.
    • \n
  • Without requesting randomly keyed data, peers do only a couple contiguous disk reads to serve the responses, removing the delay of disk IO
    • \n
\n

offline pruning

When processing a new block, a node takes the current state of the network as input data and mutates it according to the transactions in the block. only state diff is kept. Pushing these new pieces of state data, block-by-block, to the database is a problem. They keep accumulating. In theory we could “just delete” state data that’s old enough to not run the risk of a reorg. it’s exceedingly costly to figure out if a node deep within an old state is still referenced by anything newer or not.
If you have snapshots enabled and fully generated, Geth can use those as an acceleration structure to relatively quickly determine which trie nodes should be kept and which should be deleted. Pruning trie nodes based on snapshots does have the drawback that the chain may not progress during pruning. This means, that you need to stop Geth, prune its database and then restart it. To prune your database, please run geth snapshot prune-state.

\n

transaction unindexing

Node operators always took it for granted that they can look up an arbitrary transaction from the past, given only its hash. To make transactions searchable, we need to - at minimum - map the entire range of transaction hashes to the blocks they are in. It’s also important to note that transaction indices are not part of consensus and are not part of the network protocol. They are purely a locally generated acceleration structure.
Geth v1.10.0 switches on transaction unindexing by default and sets it to 2,350,000 blocks (about 1 year). The transaction unindexer will linger in the background, and every time a new block arrives, it ensures that only transactions from the most recent N blocks are indexed, deleting older ones. user can use --txlookuplimit to control the indexing block range

\n

preimage discarding

Ethereum stores all its data in a Merkle Patricia trie. The values in the leaves are the raw data being stored (e.g. storage slot content, account content), and the path to the leaf is the key at which the data is stored. The keys however are not the account addresses or storage addresses, rather the Keccak256 hashes of those. This helps balance the branch depths of the state tries.
the preimage is the actual key related to the hash. The preimages aren’t particularly heavy. If you do a full sync from genesis - reexecuting all the transactions - you’ll only end up with 5GB extra load. Still, there is no reason to keep that data around for users not using it, as it only increases the load on LevelDB compactions. As such, Geth v1.10.0 disables preimage collection by default, but there’s no mechanism to actively delete already stored preimages.
If you are using your Geth instance to debug transactions, you can retain the original behavior via --cache.preimages.

\n

ETH/66 protocol

The eth/66 protocol is a fairly small change, yet has quite a number of beneficial implications. In short, the protocol introduces request and reply IDs for all bidirectional packets. The goal behind these IDs is to more easily match up responses to requests, specifically, to more easily deliver a response to a subsystem that made the original request.

\n

chainid enforcement

Geth v1.10.0 supports reverting to the old behavior and accepting non-EIP155 transactions via –rpc.allow-unprotected-txs. Be advised that this is a temporary mechanism that will be removed long term.

\n

Database introspection

Every now and again we receive an issue report about a corrupted database, with no real way to debug it. Geth v1.10.0 ships a built-in database introspection tool to try and alleviate the situation a bit. It is a very low level accessor to LevelDB, but it allows arbitrary data retrievals, insertions and deletions. We are unsure how useful these will turn out to be, but they at least give a fighting chance to restore a broken node without having to resync.

\n

Unclean shutdown tracking

Fairly often we receive bug reports that Geth started importing old blocks on startup. This phenomenon is generally caused by the node operator terminating Geth abruptly (power outage, OOM killer, too short shutdown timeout). Since Geth keeps a lot of dirty state in memory - to avoid writing to disk things that get stale a few blocks later - an abrupt shutdown can cause these to not be flushed. With recent state missing on startup, Geth has no choice but to rewind it’s local chain to the point where it last saved the progress.

\n

Geth v1.10.0 will start tracking and reporting node crashes. We’re hopeful that this will allow operatos to detect that their infra is misconfigured or has issue before those turn into irreversible data loss.

Both aim to provide efficient and non-blocking synchronization in concurrent environments.\n- **lock-free** A lock-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for at least one thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a lock-free design, threads can independently perform their operations without being blocked by other threads. If one thread gets delayed or suspended, other threads can continue to make progress. Lock-free algorithms typically use low-level synchronization primitives such as atomic operations to ensure progress and prevent data races.\n- **wait-free** A wait-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for every thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a wait-free design, every thread executing an operation completes its operation within a finite number of steps, without being delayed by other threads. Wait-free algorithms are more stringent in their requirements compared to lock-free algorithms and often require more complex synchronization mechanisms.\n\nIt's important to note that both lock-free and wait-free designs aim to avoid traditional locks or blocking synchronization mechanisms (such as mutexes or condition variables) that can lead to contention and thread blocking. Instead, they rely on techniques like atomic operations, compare-and-swap (CAS), or memory fences to ensure progress and prevent data races in concurrent execution.\n\n## [atomic](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/index.html)\nRust atomics currently follow the same rules as [C++20 atomics](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic), specifically `atomic_ref`. Basically, creating a shared reference to one of the Rust atomic types corresponds to creating an `atomic_ref` in C++; the atomic_ref is destroyed when the lifetime of the shared reference ends. \nEach method takes an `Ordering` which represents the strength of the memory barrier for that operation. These orderings are the same as the [C++20 atomic orderings](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/memory_order). For more information see the [nomicon](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/nomicon/atomics.html)\nAtomic variables are safe to share between threads (they implement Sync) but they do not themselves provide the mechanism for sharing and follow the threading model of Rust. The most common way to share an atomic variable is to put it into an Arc (an atomically-reference-counted shared pointer).\n\n### Compiler Reordering\nCompilers may change the actual order of events, or make events never occur! If we write something like\n```rust\nx = 1;\ny = 3;\nx = 2;\n```\nThe compiler may conclude that it would be best if your program did:\n```rust\nx = 2;\ny = 3;\n```\nThis has inverted the order of events and completely eliminated one event. But if our program is multi-threaded, we may have been relying on x to actually be assigned to 1 before y was assigned. \n\n### Hardware Reordering\nhere is indeed a global shared memory space somewhere in your hardware, but from the perspective of each CPU core it is so very far away and so very slow. Each CPU would rather work with its local cache of the data and only go through all the anguish of talking to shared memory only when it doesn't actually have that memory in cache. The end result is that the hardware doesn't guarantee that events that occur in some order on one thread, occur in the same order on another thread. To guarantee this, we must issue special instructions to the CPU telling it to be a bit less smart.\nFor instance, say we convince the compiler to emit this logic:\n```\ninitial state: x = 0, y = 1\n\nTHREAD 1 THREAD2\ny = 3; if x == 1 {\nx = 1; y *= 2;\n }\n```\nIdeally this program has 2 possible final states:\n- y = 3: (thread 2 did the check before thread 1 completed)\n- y = 6: (thread 2 did the check after thread 1 completed)\nHowever there's a third potential state that the hardware enables:\n- y = 2: (thread 2 saw x = 1, but not y = 3, and then overwrote y = 3)\nIt's worth noting that different kinds of CPU provide different guarantees. It is common to separate hardware into two categories: strongly-ordered and weakly-ordered. Most notably x86/64 provides strong ordering guarantees, while ARM provides weak ordering guarantees. \n\n### Data Accesses\nAtomic accesses are how we tell the hardware and compiler that our program is multi-threaded. Each atomic access can be marked with an ordering that specifies what kind of relationship it establishes with other accesses. For the compiler, this largely revolves around re-ordering of instructions. For the hardware, this largely revolves around how writes are propagated to other threads. The set of orderings Rust exposes are:\n- Sequentially Consistent (SeqCst)\n- Release\n- Acquire\n- Relaxed\n\n### Sequentially Consistent\nSequentially Consistent is the most powerful of all, implying the restrictions of all other orderings. Intuitively, a sequentially consistent operation cannot be reordered: all accesses on one thread that happen before and after a SeqCst access stay before and after it.\n\n### Acquire-Release\nAcquire and Release are largely intended to be paired. they're perfectly suited for acquiring and releasing locks. \nIntuitively, an acquire access ensures that every access after it stays after it. However operations that occur before an acquire are free to be reordered to occur after it. Similarly, a release access ensures that every access before it stays before it. However operations that occur after a release are free to be reordered to occur before it.\n```rust\nuse std::sync::Arc;\nuse std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool, Ordering};\nuse std::thread;\n\nfn main() {\n let lock = Arc::new(AtomicBool::new(false)); // value answers \"am I locked?\"\n\n // ... distribute lock to threads somehow ...\n\n // Try to acquire the lock by setting it to true\n while lock.compare_and_swap(false, true, Ordering::Acquire) { }\n // broke out of the loop, so we successfully acquired the lock!\n\n // ... scary data accesses ...\n\n // ok we're done, release the lock\n lock.store(false, Ordering::Release);\n}\n```\n### Relaxed\nRelaxed accesses are the absolute weakest. They can be freely re-ordered and provide no happens-before relationship. Still, relaxed operations are still atomic. That is, they don't count as data accesses and any read-modify-write operations done to them occur atomically. For instance, incrementing a counter can be safely done by multiple threads using a relaxed `fetch_add` if you're not using the counter to synchronize any other accesses.\n\n## an example (spinlock)\n```rust\nuse std::sync::Arc;\nuse std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering};\nuse std::{hint, thread};\n\nfn main() {\n let spinlock = Arc::new(AtomicUsize::new(1));\n\n let spinlock_clone = Arc::clone(&spinlock);\n let thread = thread::spawn(move|| {\n spinlock_clone.store(0, Ordering::SeqCst);\n });\n\n // Wait for the other thread to release the lock\n while spinlock.load(Ordering::SeqCst) != 0 {\n hint::spin_loop();\n }\n\n if let Err(panic) = thread.join() {\n println!(\"Thread had an error: {panic:?}\");\n }\n}\n```\n\n## usual structs\n1. [AtomicBool](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicBool.html)\n### methods\n- `fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut bool`\n- `fn into_inner(self) -> bool`\n- `fn load(&self, order: Ordering) -> bool`\n- `fn store(&self, val: bool, order: Ordering)`\n- `fn compare_exchange(&self, current: bool,new: bool,success: Ordering,failure: Ordering) -> Result`\nStores a value into the bool if the current value is the same as the current value.\ncompare_exchange takes two Ordering arguments to describe the memory ordering of this operation. success describes the required ordering for the read-modify-write operation that takes place if the comparison with current succeeds. failure describes the required ordering for the load operation that takes place when the comparison fails. \n- `fn fetch_and(&self, val: bool, order: Ordering) -> bool`\nLogical “and” with a boolean value.\nPerforms a logical “and” operation on the current value and the argument val, and sets the new value to the result.\n- `const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut bool`\nReturns a mutable pointer to the underlying bool.\nDoing non-atomic reads and writes on the resulting integer can be a data race. This method is mostly useful for FFI, where the function signature may use *mut bool instead of &AtomicBool.\n\n2. [AtomicUsize](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicUsize.html)\n2. [AtomicPtr](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicPtr.html)\nA raw pointer type which can be safely shared between threads.\nThis type has the same in-memory representation as a *mut T\n\n\n## Higher-level synchronization objects\nMost of the low-level synchronization primitives are quite error-prone and inconvenient to use, which is why the standard library also exposes some higher-level synchronization objects.\n- **Arc**: Atomically Reference-Counted pointer, which can be used in multithreaded environments to prolong the lifetime of some data until all the threads have finished using it.\n- **Barrier**: Ensures multiple threads will wait for each other to reach a point in the program, before continuing execution all together.\n- **Condvar**: Condition Variable, providing the ability to block a thread while waiting for an event to occur.\n- **mpsc**: Multi-producer, single-consumer queues, used for message-based communication. Can provide a lightweight inter-thread synchronisation mechanism, at the cost of some extra memory.\n- **Mutex**: Mutual Exclusion mechanism, which ensures that at most one thread at a time is able to access some data.\n- **Once**: Used for a thread-safe, one-time global initialization routine\n- **OnceLock**: Used for thread-safe, one-time initialization of a global variable.\n- **RwLock**: Provides a mutual exclusion mechanism which allows multiple readers at the same time, while allowing only one writer at a time. In some cases, this can be more efficient than a mutex.\n\n## mpsc\nThis module provides message-based communication over channels, concretely defined among three types:\n- Sender\n- SyncSender\n- Receiver","source":"_posts/rust/rust_std/rust-std-sync.md","raw":"---\ntitle: rust std sync\ndate: 2023-06-08 22:04:38\ntags: [rust-std]\n---\n\n## [lock free & wait free](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm)\n\"Lock-free\" and \"wait-free\" are two different approaches to designing concurrent algorithms and data structures.

lock free & wait free

“Lock-free” and “wait-free” are two different approaches to designing concurrent algorithms and data structures. Both aim to provide efficient and non-blocking synchronization in concurrent environments.

\n
    \n
  • lock-free A lock-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for at least one thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a lock-free design, threads can independently perform their operations without being blocked by other threads. If one thread gets delayed or suspended, other threads can continue to make progress. Lock-free algorithms typically use low-level synchronization primitives such as atomic operations to ensure progress and prevent data races.
    • \n
  • wait-free A wait-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for every thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a wait-free design, every thread executing an operation completes its operation within a finite number of steps, without being delayed by other threads. Wait-free algorithms are more stringent in their requirements compared to lock-free algorithms and often require more complex synchronization mechanisms.
    • \n
\n

It’s important to note that both lock-free and wait-free designs aim to avoid traditional locks or blocking synchronization mechanisms (such as mutexes or condition variables) that can lead to contention and thread blocking. Instead, they rely on techniques like atomic operations, compare-and-swap (CAS), or memory fences to ensure progress and prevent data races in concurrent execution.

\n

atomic

Rust atomics currently follow the same rules as C++20 atomics, specifically atomic_ref. Basically, creating a shared reference to one of the Rust atomic types corresponds to creating an atomic_ref in C++; the atomic_ref is destroyed when the lifetime of the shared reference ends.
Each method takes an Ordering which represents the strength of the memory barrier for that operation. These orderings are the same as the C++20 atomic orderings. For more information see the nomicon
Atomic variables are safe to share between threads (they implement Sync) but they do not themselves provide the mechanism for sharing and follow the threading model of Rust. The most common way to share an atomic variable is to put it into an Arc (an atomically-reference-counted shared pointer).

\n

Compiler Reordering

Compilers may change the actual order of events, or make events never occur! If we write something like

\n
1
2
3
x = 1;
y = 3;
x = 2;
\n

The compiler may conclude that it would be best if your program did:

\n
1
2
x = 2;
y = 3;
\n

This has inverted the order of events and completely eliminated one event. But if our program is multi-threaded, we may have been relying on x to actually be assigned to 1 before y was assigned.

\n

Hardware Reordering

here is indeed a global shared memory space somewhere in your hardware, but from the perspective of each CPU core it is so very far away and so very slow. Each CPU would rather work with its local cache of the data and only go through all the anguish of talking to shared memory only when it doesn’t actually have that memory in cache. The end result is that the hardware doesn’t guarantee that events that occur in some order on one thread, occur in the same order on another thread. To guarantee this, we must issue special instructions to the CPU telling it to be a bit less smart.
For instance, say we convince the compiler to emit this logic:

\n
1
2
3
4
5
6
initial state: x = 0, y = 1

THREAD 1        THREAD2
y = 3;          if x == 1 {
x = 1;              y *= 2;
                }
\n

Ideally this program has 2 possible final states:

\n
    \n
  • y = 3: (thread 2 did the check before thread 1 completed)
    • \n
  • y = 6: (thread 2 did the check after thread 1 completed)
    However there’s a third potential state that the hardware enables:
    • \n
  • y = 2: (thread 2 saw x = 1, but not y = 3, and then overwrote y = 3)
    It’s worth noting that different kinds of CPU provide different guarantees. It is common to separate hardware into two categories: strongly-ordered and weakly-ordered. Most notably x86/64 provides strong ordering guarantees, while ARM provides weak ordering guarantees.

Sequentially Consistent

Sequentially Consistent is the most powerful of all, implying the restrictions of all other orderings. Intuitively, a sequentially consistent operation cannot be reordered: all accesses on one thread that happen before and after a SeqCst access stay before and after it.

\n

Acquire-Release

Acquire and Release are largely intended to be paired. they’re perfectly suited for acquiring and releasing locks.
Intuitively, an acquire access ensures that every access after it stays after it. However operations that occur before an acquire are free to be reordered to occur after it. Similarly, a release access ensures that every access before it stays before it. However operations that occur after a release are free to be reordered to occur before it.

Most of the instructions of these four sets of instruction sets are the same, but as the version is updated, the new version supports more instruction sets than the old version.\n\n# evm\nThe `EVM` object is the most important object exported by the evm module, which represents an Ethereum virtual machine\n\n## creating evm\nEvery time a transaction is processed, an EVM is created to execute the transaction. This is reflected in the function `ApplyTransaction` (core/state_processor.go)\n\n## creating contract\nIf the `to` of the transaction is empty, it means that this transaction is to create a contract, so call `EVM.Create` to perform related functions\n- CREATE\n```\ncontractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress(caller.Address(), evm.StateDB.GetNonce(caller.Address()))\n```\n- CREATE2\n```\ncodeAndHash := &codeAndHash{code: code}\n\tcontractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress2(caller.Address(), salt.Bytes32(), codeAndHash.Hash().Bytes())\n```\nduring create contract, an object `Contract` is created. A Contract object contains and maintains the necessary information during the execution of the contract, such as the contract creator, the address of the contract itself, the remaining gas of the contract, the contract code and the `jumpdests` record of the code.\n\nthen, it invokes below method to create contract\n```\nret, err := evm.interpreter.Run(contract, nil, false)\nevm.StateDB.SetCode(address, ret)\n```\nIf the operation is successful and the contract code does not exceed the length limit, call StateDB.SetCode to store the contract code in the contract account of the Ethereum state database. Of course, the storage needs to consume a certain amount of gas.\n\nYou may wonder why the stored contract code is the return code after the contract runs, not the data in the original transaction (ie Transaction.data.Payload). This is because when the contract source code is compiled into binary data, in addition to the original code of the contract, the compiler also inserts some codes to perform related functions. For creation, the compiler inserts code that executes the contract's \"constructor\" (that is, the contract object's constructor method). Therefore, when the binary compiled by the compiler is submitted to the Ethereum node to create a contract, the EVM executes this binary code, in fact, it mainly executes the constructor method of the contract, and then returns other codes of the contract, so there is a `ret` variable here Stored in the state database as the actual code of the contract\n\n## call contract\nThe EVM object has three methods to implement the call of the contract, they are:\n\n- EVM. Call\n- EVM. CallCode\n- EVM. DelegateCall\n- EVM.StaticCall\nThe basic contract call function implemented by EVM.Call is nothing special. The following three calling methods are the differences compared with EVM.Call. So here we only introduce the particularity of the last three calling methods\n\n### EVM.CallCode & EVM.DelegateCall\nThe existence of EVM.CallCode and EVM.DelegateCall is to realize the characteristics of the \"library\" of the contract. If the code written by solidity is to be called as a library, it must be deployed on the blockchain to obtain a fixed address like a normal contract. , other contracts can call the method provided by this \"library contract\". But the contract also involves some unique attributes, such as the caller of the contract, contract address, the amount of ether it owns, etc. If we directly call the code of the \"library contract\", these properties must be the properties of the \"library contract\" itself, but this may not be what we want\n\nas an example\n```\nA -> contractB - delegateCall -> libC\n```\n`EVM.DelegateCall` sets the caller (msg.sender) of the \"library contract\" (libC) to A, rather than contractB; sets the address of the \"library contract\" (libC) to contractB. \n`EVM.CallCode` is similar to `EVM.DelegateCall`. the only difference is that `EVM.CallCode` only change the address of the \"library contract\" (libC) to contractB, without chanding the caller to A.\n`EVM.StaticCall` is similar to `EVM.Call`, the only difference is that EVM.StaticCall does not allow execution of instructions that modify permanently stored data\n\nduring contract call, it first check whether it is precompiled contract. some precompiled contracts are\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{1}): &ecrecover{},\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{2}): &sha256hash{},\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{3}): &ripemd160hash{},\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{4}): &dataCopy{},\n\n# EVMInterpreter\nThe interpreter object EVMInterpreter is used to interpret and execute specified contract instructions. However, note that the actual instruction interpretation and execution is not really completed by the interpreter object, but by the operation object JumpTable. The interpreter object is only responsible for parsing instruction codes one by one, and then obtains the corresponding operation object, and check objects such as the stack before calling the operation.execute function that actually executre the instruction. It can also be said that the interpreter object is only responsible for the scheduling of interpretation.\n\n## execution layout\n![layout](/images/evm.layout.png)\n\n## intrinsic gas\nThe intrinsic gas for a transaction is the amount of gas that the transaction uses before any code runs. It is a constant transaction fee (currently 21000 gas) plus a fee for every byte of data supplied with the transaction (4 gas for a zero byte, 68 gas for non-zeros). These constants are all currently defined for geth in params/protocol_params.go.\n\n## gas cost\nthe gas cost of each instruction is stored in `JumpTable.operation.dynamicGas` or `JumpTable.operation.constantGas`. constantGas means the operation gas cost is a fixed constant. dynamicGas is a function which will return gas during runtime.\n\nIn fact, not only the interpretation and execution of the instruction itself consumes gas, but also consumes gas when using memory storage and StateDB permanent storage. For most instructions, the latter two are not used (memory & storage), but for some instructions (such as CODECOPY or SSTORE), their gasCost function will take memory and StateDB usage into account.\n\na method `memoryGasCost`is used to calculate the gas consumption of memory usage. only when the required space size exceeds the current space size, the excess part needs to consume gas.\n\n# JumpTable\njumptable is 256 sized array of `operation`\n\n## jump instruction\nAmong the instructions of the contract, there are two jump instructions (excluding CALL): JUMP and JUMPI. Their special feature is that the first instruction of the target address after the jump must be JUMPDEST\n```\nfunc opJump(pc *uint64, interpreter *EVMInterpreter, contract *Contract, memory *Memory, stack *Stack) ([]byte, error) {\n pos := stack.pop()\n if !contract.validJumpdest(pos) {\n nop := contract.GetOp(pos.Uint64())\n return nil, fmt.Errorf(\"invalid jump destination (%v) %v\", nop, pos)\n }\n *pc = pos.Uint64()\n\n interpreter.intPool.put(pos)\n return nil, nil\n}\n```\nA function interprets and executes the JUMP instruction. The code first fetches a value from the stack as the jump destination. This value is actually an offset relative to field 0 of the contract code. Then the code will call Contract.validJumpdest to determine whether the first instruction of this destination is JUMPDEST, if it is not, an error will occur.\n\nTo judge whether the first instruction of the destination is JUMPDEST, two points must be guaranteed: first, its value is the value of the opcode of the JUMPDEST instruction; second, it is an instruction, not ordinary data.\n\nLet's introduce how Contract.validJumpdest works. In addition to comparing opcode (this is very simple), Contract will also create a bit vector object (ie bitvec, bit vector). This object will analyze the contract instructions from the beginning to the end. If the byte at a certain offset of the contract belongs to ordinary data, the \"bit\" corresponding to the offset value in bitvec is set to 1, and if it is an instruction, it is set to 0. In Contract.validJumpdest, it is judged whether this is a normal instruction by checking whether the \"bit\" of the offset value of the jump destination in this bit vector object is 0\n\n# references\n- [yangzhe_blog](https://yangzhe.me/2019/08/12/ethereum-evm/#%E8%A7%A3%E9%87%8A%E5%99%A8%E5%AF%B9%E8%B1%A1evminterpreter)\n- [op code manual](https://www.evm.codes/?fork=shanghai)","source":"_posts/geth/code_analysis/geth.evm.md","raw":"---\ntitle: geth evm source analysis\ndate: 2023-01-08 16:24:54\ntags: [blockchain,geth]\n---\n\n# overall\nthe code is under path `core/vm`\noverview of the whole evm module ![evm](/images/evm.drawio.google.png)\n\nthe core is `EVM` struct (in evm.go), with main function in creating or call contract. a new `EVM` object is created every time when processing a transaction. inside the EVM struct, the main items are `Interpreter`, and `StateDB` (for state persistence). `Interpreter` loops through contract call instructions.Before each instruction is executed, some checks are performed to ensure sufficient gas and stack space. actual instruction execution code is recorded in `JumpTable` (256 sized array of `operation`)\n\ndepending on the version of Ethereum, JumpTable may point to four different instruction sets: constantinopleInstructionSet, byzantiumInstructionSet, homesteadInstructionSet, frontierInstructionSet.

the core is EVM struct (in evm.go), with main function in creating or call contract. a new EVM object is created every time when processing a transaction. inside the EVM struct, the main items are Interpreter, and StateDB (for state persistence). Interpreter loops through contract call instructions.Before each instruction is executed, some checks are performed to ensure sufficient gas and stack space. actual instruction execution code is recorded in JumpTable (256 sized array of operation)

\n

depending on the version of Ethereum, JumpTable may point to four different instruction sets: constantinopleInstructionSet, byzantiumInstructionSet, homesteadInstructionSet, frontierInstructionSet. Most of the instructions of these four sets of instruction sets are the same, but as the version is updated, the new version supports more instruction sets than the old version.

\n

evm

The EVM object is the most important object exported by the evm module, which represents an Ethereum virtual machine

\n

creating evm

Every time a transaction is processed, an EVM is created to execute the transaction. This is reflected in the function ApplyTransaction (core/state_processor.go)

\n

creating contract

If the to of the transaction is empty, it means that this transaction is to create a contract, so call EVM.Create to perform related functions

\n
    \n
  • CREATE
    1
    contractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress(caller.Address(), evm.StateDB.GetNonce(caller.Address()))
    • \n
  • CREATE2
    1
    2
    codeAndHash := &codeAndHash{code: code}
    \tcontractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress2(caller.Address(), salt.Bytes32(), codeAndHash.Hash().Bytes())
    \nduring create contract, an object Contract is created. A Contract object contains and maintains the necessary information during the execution of the contract, such as the contract creator, the address of the contract itself, the remaining gas of the contract, the contract code and the jumpdests record of the code.
    • \n
\n

then, it invokes below method to create contract

\n
1
2
ret, err := evm.interpreter.Run(contract, nil, false)
evm.StateDB.SetCode(address, ret)
\n

If the operation is successful and the contract code does not exceed the length limit, call StateDB.SetCode to store the contract code in the contract account of the Ethereum state database. Of course, the storage needs to consume a certain amount of gas.

\n

You may wonder why the stored contract code is the return code after the contract runs, not the data in the original transaction (ie Transaction.data.Payload). This is because when the contract source code is compiled into binary data, in addition to the original code of the contract, the compiler also inserts some codes to perform related functions. For creation, the compiler inserts code that executes the contract’s “constructor” (that is, the contract object’s constructor method). Therefore, when the binary compiled by the compiler is submitted to the Ethereum node to create a contract, the EVM executes this binary code, in fact, it mainly executes the constructor method of the contract, and then returns other codes of the contract, so there is a ret variable here Stored in the state database as the actual code of the contract

\n

call contract

The EVM object has three methods to implement the call of the contract, they are:

\n
    \n
  • EVM. Call
    • \n
  • EVM. CallCode
    • \n
  • EVM. DelegateCall
    • \n
  • EVM.StaticCall
    The basic contract call function implemented by EVM.Call is nothing special. The following three calling methods are the differences compared with EVM.Call. So here we only introduce the particularity of the last three calling methods
    • \n
\n

EVM.CallCode & EVM.DelegateCall

The existence of EVM.CallCode and EVM.DelegateCall is to realize the characteristics of the “library” of the contract. If the code written by solidity is to be called as a library, it must be deployed on the blockchain to obtain a fixed address like a normal contract. , other contracts can call the method provided by this “library contract”. But the contract also involves some unique attributes, such as the caller of the contract, contract address, the amount of ether it owns, etc. If we directly call the code of the “library contract”, these properties must be the properties of the “library contract” itself, but this may not be what we want

\n

as an example

\n
1
A -> contractB - delegateCall -> libC
\n

EVM.DelegateCall sets the caller (msg.sender) of the “library contract” (libC) to A, rather than contractB; sets the address of the “library contract” (libC) to contractB.
EVM.CallCode is similar to EVM.DelegateCall. the only difference is that EVM.CallCode only change the address of the “library contract” (libC) to contractB, without chanding the caller to A.
EVM.StaticCall is similar to EVM.Call, the only difference is that EVM.StaticCall does not allow execution of instructions that modify permanently stored data

\n

during contract call, it first check whether it is precompiled contract. some precompiled contracts are

\n
    \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{1}): &ecrecover{},
    • \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{2}): &sha256hash{},
    • \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{3}): &ripemd160hash{},
    • \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{4}): &dataCopy{},
    • \n
\n

EVMInterpreter

The interpreter object EVMInterpreter is used to interpret and execute specified contract instructions. However, note that the actual instruction interpretation and execution is not really completed by the interpreter object, but by the operation object JumpTable. The interpreter object is only responsible for parsing instruction codes one by one, and then obtains the corresponding operation object, and check objects such as the stack before calling the operation.execute function that actually executre the instruction. It can also be said that the interpreter object is only responsible for the scheduling of interpretation.

\n

execution layout

\"layout\"

\n

intrinsic gas

The intrinsic gas for a transaction is the amount of gas that the transaction uses before any code runs. It is a constant transaction fee (currently 21000 gas) plus a fee for every byte of data supplied with the transaction (4 gas for a zero byte, 68 gas for non-zeros). These constants are all currently defined for geth in params/protocol_params.go.

\n

gas cost

the gas cost of each instruction is stored in JumpTable.operation.dynamicGas or JumpTable.operation.constantGas. constantGas means the operation gas cost is a fixed constant. dynamicGas is a function which will return gas during runtime.

\n

In fact, not only the interpretation and execution of the instruction itself consumes gas, but also consumes gas when using memory storage and StateDB permanent storage. For most instructions, the latter two are not used (memory & storage), but for some instructions (such as CODECOPY or SSTORE), their gasCost function will take memory and StateDB usage into account.

\n

a method memoryGasCostis used to calculate the gas consumption of memory usage. only when the required space size exceeds the current space size, the excess part needs to consume gas.

\n

JumpTable

jumptable is 256 sized array of operation

\n

jump instruction

Among the instructions of the contract, there are two jump instructions (excluding CALL): JUMP and JUMPI. Their special feature is that the first instruction of the target address after the jump must be JUMPDEST

\n

func opJump(pc *uint64, interpreter *EVMInterpreter, contract *Contract, memory *Memory, stack *Stack) ([]byte, error) {
    pos := stack.pop()
    if !contract.validJumpdest(pos) {
        nop := contract.GetOp(pos.Uint64())
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid jump destination (%v) %v", nop, pos)
    }
    *pc = pos.Uint64()

    interpreter.intPool.put(pos)
    return nil, nil
}
\n

A function interprets and executes the JUMP instruction. The code first fetches a value from the stack as the jump destination. This value is actually an offset relative to field 0 of the contract code. Then the code will call Contract.validJumpdest to determine whether the first instruction of this destination is JUMPDEST, if it is not, an error will occur.

\n

To judge whether the first instruction of the destination is JUMPDEST, two points must be guaranteed: first, its value is the value of the opcode of the JUMPDEST instruction; second, it is an instruction, not ordinary data.

\n

Let’s introduce how Contract.validJumpdest works. In addition to comparing opcode (this is very simple), Contract will also create a bit vector object (ie bitvec, bit vector). This object will analyze the contract instructions from the beginning to the end. If the byte at a certain offset of the contract belongs to ordinary data, the “bit” corresponding to the offset value in bitvec is set to 1, and if it is an instruction, it is set to 0. In Contract.validJumpdest, it is judged whether this is a normal instruction by checking whether the “bit” of the offset value of the jump destination in this bit vector object is 0

trie

a trie, also called prefix tree, is a type of k-ary search tree. These keys are most often strings, with links between nodes defined not by the entire key, but by individual characters. In order to access a key, the trie is traversed depth-first, following the links between nodes, which represent each character in the key.

\n

\"prefix
In general, the nodes of a Trie look like this:

\n
1
[ [Ia, Ib, … I*], value]
\n

[Ia, Ib, … I*] is the index array of the node, which takes the next character in the key as the index, and each element I* points to the corresponding child node. value represents the value

\n

MPT

Each block of Ethereum contains three MPT trees, respectively

\n
    \n
  • Transaction tree
    • \n
  • Receipt tree
    • \n
  • State tree

trie

a trie, also called prefix tree, is a type of k-ary search tree. These keys are most often strings, with links between nodes defined not by the entire key, but by individual characters. In order to access a key, the trie is traversed depth-first, following the links between nodes, which represent each character in the key.

\n

\"prefix
In general, the nodes of a Trie look like this:

\n
1
[ [Ia, Ib, … I*], value]
\n

[Ia, Ib, … I*] is the index array of the node, which takes the next character in the key as the index, and each element I* points to the corresponding child node. value represents the value

Introduction

Kademlia, a peer-to-peer distributed hash table(DHT). Some other DHT techniques are Chord. In the Kad network, each node has a unique 160-bit ID (ETH account address is 20 bytes, which is 160 bits) <key,value> pairs are stored in nodes whose ID is ‘close’ to the key for some notion of closeness.

system description

Kad effectively treats nodes as leaves in a binary tree, with each nodes’s position determined by the shortest unique prefix of its ID. Figure 1 shows the position of a node with unique prefix 0011 in an example.

\n

\"Figure
for any given node, the binary tree is divided into a series of successively lower subtrees that don’t contain the node.
The highest-level subtree is composed of the other half of the whole tree that does not contain itself; the next level of subtree is composed of the remaining half that does not contain itself; and so on, until the complete tree is split into n subtrees. As shown in the figure, the part contained by the dotted line is the subtree of node 0011.

\n

if there is at least one node knwon in each subtree (in total, at least n nodes), a recursive routing algorithm can be used to reach any node within the binary tree. Figure 2 shows an example of node 0011 locating node 1110 by successively querying the best node it knows of to find contacts in lower and lower subtrees; finaly the lookup converges to the target node.

node distance: XOR metric

Node’s id is 160 bit. Keys are also 160 bit. The Kad algorithm uses an XOR operation to calculate the distance between nodes.
d(x,y) = x XOR y

\n

node state

for each 0 <= i < 160, every node keeps k <IP address, UDP port, node ID> triples (as a list) for nodes of distance between 2^i and 2^i+1 from itself. it is called k-buckets.
each k-bucket is kept sorted by time last seen–least recently seen node at the head, most-recently seen at the tail.
for small values of i, the k-buckets will generally be empty (as no approriate nodes will exist).

The K value mentioned here is a system-level constant (must be an even number). It is set by the software system using Kad (for example, the Kad network used by BT download, K is set to 8).

update of k bucket

There are mainly the following ways to update the K bucket:

\n
    \n
  • Actively collect nodes: Any node can initiate a FIND_NODE (query node) request to refresh the node information in the K-bucket.
    • \n
  • Passive collection node: When receiving requests from other nodes (such as: FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE), it will add the node ID of the other party to a certain K-bucket.
    • \n
  • Detect invalid nodes: By initiating a PING request, determine whether a node in the K-bucket is online, and then clean up which offline nodes in the K-bucket.
    • \n
\n

The update principle is to insert the latest node into the tail of the queue, and not to remove the online nodes in the queue.

\n

According to the K-bucket update principle, nodes with a long online time are more likely to remain in the K-bucket list. Therefore, by keeping the nodes with a long online time in the K-bucket, Kad will significantly increase the number of nodes in the K-bucket. it can defend against DOS attacks to a certain extent, because only when the old node fails, Kad will update the K bucket information, which avoids flooding routing information through the addition of new nodes

RPC method

The Kademlia protocol includes four remote RPC operations: PING, STORE, FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE.

    \n
  • PING probes a node to see if it is online.
    • \n
  • STORE instructs a node to store a <key,value> pair for later retrieval.

struct{} & struct{}{}

struct is a keyword in Go. It is used to define struct types, which is a sequence of named elements.

For example:

The struct{} is a struct type with zero elements. It is often used when no information is to be stored. It has the benefit of being 0-sized, so usually no memory is required to store a value of type struct{}.

Instead, it would update the copy of x stored inside the reflection value and x itself would be unaffected.

introduction

Reflection is the ability of a program to examine its own structure, particularly through types.

\n

type and interfaces

Go is statically typed. Every variable has a static type, Exactly one type known and fixed at compile time. If we declare

\n
1
2
3
4
type MyInt int

var i int
var j MyInt
\n

The variables i and j have distinct static types and, although they have the same underlying type, they cannot be assigned to one another without a conversion.

\n

One important category of type is interface types, which represent fixed sets of methods. An interface variable can store any concrete (non-interface) value as long as that value implements the interface’s methods. An extremely important example of an interface type is the empty interface:

\n
1
interface{}
\n

or its equivalent alias,

\n
1
any
\n

It represents the empty set of methods and is satisfied by any value at all, since every value has zero or more methods.
a variable of interface type always has the same static type, and even though at run time the value stored in the interface variable may change type, that value will always satisfy the interface.

\n

the representation of an interface

A variable of interface type stores a pair: the concrete value assigned to the variable, and that value’s type descriptor.
For instance, after

\n
1
2
3
4
5
6
var r io.Reader
tty, err := os.OpenFile("/dev/tty", os.O_RDWR, 0)
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}
r = tty
\n

r contains, schematically, the (value, type) pair, (tty, *os.File). Notice that the type *os.File implements methods other than Read; even though the interface value provides access only to the Read method, the value inside carries all the type information about that value. That’s why we can do things like this:

\n
1
2
var w io.Writer
w = r.(io.Writer)
\n

The expression in this assignment is a type assertion; what it asserts is that the item inside r also implements io.Writer, and so we can assign it to w. After the assignment, w will contain the pair (tty, *os.File). That’s the same pair as was held in r.
One important detail is that the pair inside an interface variable always has the form (value, concrete type) and cannot have the form (value, interface type). Interfaces do not hold interface values.

\n

the first law of reflection

    \n

  1. Reflection goes from interface value to reflection object
    At the basic level, reflection is just a mechanism to examine the type and value pair stored inside an interface variable. reflect.TypeOf and reflect.ValueOf, retrieve reflect.Type and reflect.Value pieces out of an interface value.

    \n
    1
    2
    var x float64 = 3.4
    fmt.Println("type:", reflect.TypeOf(x))
    \n
    1
    type: float64
    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())
    fmt.Println("kind is float64:", v.Kind() == reflect.Float64)
    fmt.Println("value:", v.Float())
    \n
    1
    2
    3
    type: float64
    kind is float64: true
    value: 3.4
    \n

    There are also methods like SetInt and SetFloat. to keep the API simple, the “getter” and “setter” methods of Value operate on the largest type that can hold the value: int64 for all the signed integers, for instance.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    var x uint8 = 'x'
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())                            // uint8.
    fmt.Println("kind is uint8: ", v.Kind() == reflect.Uint8) // true.
    x = uint8(v.Uint())                                       // v.Uint returns a uint64.
    \n
    2. \n

  2. Reflection goes from reflection object to interface value.
    Given a reflect.Value we can recover an interface value using the Interface method;

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    // Interface returns v's current value as an interface{}.
    // It is equivalent to:
    //
    //\tvar i interface{} = (v's underlying value)
    func (v Value) Interface() interface{}
    \n
    1
    2
    y := v.Interface().(float64) // y will have type float64.
    fmt.Println(y)
    \n
    3. \n

  3. To modify a reflection object, the value must be settable.
    The CanSet method of Value reports the settability of a Value; in our case,

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: false
    \n

    we pass a copy of x to reflect.ValueOf, so the interface value created as the argument to reflect.ValueOf is a copy of x, not x itself. Thus, if the statement v.SetFloat(7.1) were allowed to succeed, it would not update x, even though v looks like it was created from x. Instead, it would update the copy of x stored inside the reflection value and x itself would be unaffected. That would be confusing and useless, so it is illegal, and settability is the property used to avoid this issue. If we want to modify x by reflection, we must give the reflection library a pointer to the value we want to modify.
    Let’s do that.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    var x float64 = 3.4
    p := reflect.ValueOf(&x) // Note: take the address of x.
    fmt.Println("type of p:", p.Type())
    fmt.Println("settability of p:", p.CanSet())
    \n

    The reflection object p isn’t settable, but it’s not p we want to set, it’s (in effect) *p. To get to what p points to, we call the Elem method of Value, which indirects through the pointer, and save the result in a reflection Value called v:

    \n
    1
    2
    v := p.Elem()
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: true
    4. \n
\n

type T struct {

for i := 0; i < s.NumField(); i++ {
    f := s.Field(i)
    fmt.Printf("%d: %s %s = %v\\n", i,
        typeOfT.Field(i).Name, f.Type(), f.Interface())
}
\n

0: A int = 23
1: B string = skidoo
\n

There’s one more point about settability introduced in passing here: the field names of T are upper case (exported) because only exported fields of a struct are settable.
Because s contains a settable reflection object, we can modify the fields of the structure.

\n
1

3
s.Field(0).SetInt(77)
s.Field(1).SetString("Sunset Strip")
fmt.Println("t is now", t)
\n

If we modified the program so that s was created from t, not &t, the calls to SetInt and SetString would fail as the fields of t would not be settable.

introduction

Reflection is the ability of a program to examine its own structure, particularly through types.

\n

type and interfaces

Go is statically typed. Every variable has a static type, Exactly one type known and fixed at compile time. If we declare

\n
1
2
3
4
type MyInt int

var i int
var j MyInt
\n

The variables i and j have distinct static types and, although they have the same underlying type, they cannot be assigned to one another without a conversion.

\n

One important category of type is interface types, which represent fixed sets of methods. An interface variable can store any concrete (non-interface) value as long as that value implements the interface’s methods. An extremely important example of an interface type is the empty interface:

\n
1
interface{}
\n

or its equivalent alias,

\n
1
any
\n

It represents the empty set of methods and is satisfied by any value at all, since every value has zero or more methods.
a variable of interface type always has the same static type, and even though at run time the value stored in the interface variable may change type, that value will always satisfy the interface.

\n

the representation of an interface

A variable of interface type stores a pair: the concrete value assigned to the variable, and that value’s type descriptor.
For instance, after

\n
1
2
3
4
5
6
var r io.Reader
tty, err := os.OpenFile("/dev/tty", os.O_RDWR, 0)
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}
r = tty
\n

r contains, schematically, the (value, type) pair, (tty, *os.File). Notice that the type *os.File implements methods other than Read; even though the interface value provides access only to the Read method, the value inside carries all the type information about that value. That’s why we can do things like this:

\n
1
2
var w io.Writer
w = r.(io.Writer)
\n

The expression in this assignment is a type assertion; what it asserts is that the item inside r also implements io.Writer, and so we can assign it to w. After the assignment, w will contain the pair (tty, *os.File). That’s the same pair as was held in r.
One important detail is that the pair inside an interface variable always has the form (value, concrete type) and cannot have the form (value, interface type). Interfaces do not hold interface values.

\n

the first law of reflection

    \n

  1. Reflection goes from interface value to reflection object
    At the basic level, reflection is just a mechanism to examine the type and value pair stored inside an interface variable. reflect.TypeOf and reflect.ValueOf, retrieve reflect.Type and reflect.Value pieces out of an interface value.

    \n
    1
    2
    var x float64 = 3.4
    fmt.Println("type:", reflect.TypeOf(x))
    \n
    1
    type: float64
    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())
    fmt.Println("kind is float64:", v.Kind() == reflect.Float64)
    fmt.Println("value:", v.Float())
    \n
    1
    2
    3
    type: float64
    kind is float64: true
    value: 3.4
    \n

    There are also methods like SetInt and SetFloat. to keep the API simple, the “getter” and “setter” methods of Value operate on the largest type that can hold the value: int64 for all the signed integers, for instance.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    var x uint8 = 'x'
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("type:", v.Type())                            // uint8.
    fmt.Println("kind is uint8: ", v.Kind() == reflect.Uint8) // true.
    x = uint8(v.Uint())                                       // v.Uint returns a uint64.
    \n
    2. \n

  2. Reflection goes from reflection object to interface value.
    Given a reflect.Value we can recover an interface value using the Interface method;

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    // Interface returns v's current value as an interface{}.
    // It is equivalent to:
    //
    //\tvar i interface{} = (v's underlying value)
    func (v Value) Interface() interface{}
    \n
    1
    2
    y := v.Interface().(float64) // y will have type float64.
    fmt.Println(y)
    \n
    3. \n

  3. To modify a reflection object, the value must be settable.
    The CanSet method of Value reports the settability of a Value; in our case,

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    var x float64 = 3.4
    v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: false
    \n

    we pass a copy of x to reflect.ValueOf, so the interface value created as the argument to reflect.ValueOf is a copy of x, not x itself. Thus, if the statement v.SetFloat(7.1) were allowed to succeed, it would not update x, even though v looks like it was created from x. Instead, it would update the copy of x stored inside the reflection value and x itself would be unaffected. That would be confusing and useless, so it is illegal, and settability is the property used to avoid this issue. If we want to modify x by reflection, we must give the reflection library a pointer to the value we want to modify.
    Let’s do that.

    \n
    1
    2
    3
    4
    var x float64 = 3.4
    p := reflect.ValueOf(&x) // Note: take the address of x.
    fmt.Println("type of p:", p.Type())
    fmt.Println("settability of p:", p.CanSet())
    \n

    The reflection object p isn’t settable, but it’s not p we want to set, it’s (in effect) *p. To get to what p points to, we call the Elem method of Value, which indirects through the pointer, and save the result in a reflection Value called v:

    \n
    1
    2
    v := p.Elem()
    fmt.Println("settability of v:", v.CanSet())
    \n
    1
    settability of v: true
    4. \n

for i := 0; i < s.NumField(); i++ {
    f := s.Field(i)
    fmt.Printf("%d: %s %s = %v\\n", i,
        typeOfT.Field(i).Name, f.Type(), f.Interface())
}
\n

0: A int = 23

\n

There’s one more point about settability introduced in passing here: the field names of T are upper case (exported) because only exported fields of a struct are settable.
Because s contains a settable reflection object, we can modify the fields of the structure.

s.Field(0).SetInt(77)
s.Field(1).SetString("Sunset Strip")
fmt.Println("t is now", t)

If we modified the program so that s was created from t, not &t, the calls to SetInt and SetString would fail as the fields of t would not be settable.

But because it does not have ownership of what\n // it refers to, nothing happens.\n```\nwe pass &s1 into calculate_length and, in its definition, we take &String rather than String. These ampersands represent references, and they allow you to refer to some value without taking ownership of it. Because it does not own it, the value it points to will not be dropped when the reference stops being used. \\\n When functions have references as parameters instead of the actual values, we won't need to return the values in order to give back ownership, because we never had ownership. \\\n We call the action of creating a reference borrowing. \n\n### mutable references\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let mut s = String::from(\"hello\");\n\n change(&mut s);\n}\n\nfn change(some_string: &mut String) {\n some_string.push_str(\", world\");\n}\n```\n\n### dangling references\n- A pointer refers to an address in memory, but the memory may have been freed and allocated for use by someone else\n- rust，The compiler can guarantee that there will never be dangling references\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let r = dangle();\n}\nfn dangle() -> &string { // dangle returns a reference to a String\n let s = String::from(\"hello\"); // s is a new String\n &s // we return a reference to the String, s\n} // Here, s goes out of scope, and is dropped. Its memory goes away.\n// Danger\n```\nThe solution here is to return the String directly:\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let string = no_dangle();\n}\n\nfn no_dangle() -> String {\n let s = String::from(\"hello\");\n s\n}\n```\nThis works without any problems. Ownership is moved out, and nothing is deallocated.\n\n\n## slice\n- Slices let you reference a contiguous sequence of elements in a collection rather than the whole collection. A slice is a kind of reference, so it does not have ownership.\n\n### string slice\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let mut s = String::from(\"Hello world\");\n\n let hello = &s[0..5]; \n let world = &s[6..11];\n}\n```\nRather than a reference to the entire String, hello is a reference to a portion of the String, \\\nWith Rust's `..` range syntax, if you want to start at index zero, you can drop the value before the two periods \\\nBy the same token, if your slice includes the last byte of the String, you can drop the trailing number. \n> Note: String slice range indices must occur at **valid UTF-8 character boundaries**.

Rather than a reference to the entire String, hello is a reference to a portion of the String,
With Rust’s .. range syntax, if you want to start at index zero, you can drop the value before the two periods
By the same token, if your slice includes the last byte of the String, you can drop the trailing number.

What if we want to let a function use a value but not take ownership?
that’s reference

\n
\n

reference & borrow

    \n
  • & means reference (borrow but not own)， default immutable
    • \n
  • &mut a mutable reference， only one mutable reference allowed in same scope (avoid data racing)
    • \n
  • Multiple mutable references can be created non-simultaneously by creating a new scope
    • \n
  • Cannot have mutable and immutable references at the same time

fn main() {

}

fn calculate_length(s: &String) -> usize { // s is a reference to a String
    s.len() 
}  // Here, s goes out of scope. But because it does not have ownership of what
   // it refers to, nothing happens.
\n

we pass &s1 into calculate_length and, in its definition, we take &String rather than String. These ampersands represent references, and they allow you to refer to some value without taking ownership of it. Because it does not own it, the value it points to will not be dropped when the reference stops being used.
When functions have references as parameters instead of the actual values, we won’t need to return the values in order to give back ownership, because we never had ownership.
We call the action of creating a reference borrowing.

dangling references

    \n
  • A pointer refers to an address in memory, but the memory may have been freed and allocated for use by someone else
    • \n
  • rust，The compiler can guarantee that there will never be dangling references

        let s = String::from("hello");  // s is a new String
        &s // we return a reference to the String, s
    } // Here, s goes out of scope, and is dropped. Its memory goes away.
    // Danger
    \nThe solution here is to return the String directly:

    }

    fn no_dangle() -> String {
        let s = String::from("hello");
        s
    }
    \nThis works without any problems. Ownership is moved out, and nothing is deallocated.
    • \n
\n

slice

    \n
  • Slices let you reference a contiguous sequence of elements in a collection rather than the whole collection. A slice is a kind of reference, so it does not have ownership.

string slice

fn main() {
    let mut s = String::from("Hello world");

    let hello = &s[0..5]; 
    let world = &s[6..11];
}
\n

Rather than a reference to the entire String, hello is a reference to a portion of the String,
With Rust’s .. range syntax, if you want to start at index zero, you can drop the value before the two periods
By the same token, if your slice includes the last byte of the String, you can drop the trailing number.

\n
\n

Note: String slice range indices must occur at valid UTF-8 character boundaries. If you attempt to create a string slice in the middle of a multibyte character, your program will exit with an error.

String Literals Are Slices

fn main() {
let s = "Hello, world!";

The type of s here is &str: it’s a slice pointing to that specific point of the binary.

Lifetime Elision

In order to make common patterns more ergonomic, Rust allows lifetimes to be elided in function signatures.
Elision rules are as follows:

\n
    \n
  • Each elided lifetime in input position becomes a distinct lifetime parameter.
    • \n
  • If there is exactly one input lifetime position (elided or not), that lifetime is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.
    • \n
  • If there are multiple input lifetime positions, but one of them is &self or &mut self, the lifetime of self is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.
    • \n
  • Otherwise, it is an error to elide an output lifetime.

Lifetime Elision

In order to make common patterns more ergonomic, Rust allows lifetimes to be elided in function signatures.
Elision rules are as follows:

\n
    \n
  • Each elided lifetime in input position becomes a distinct lifetime parameter.
    • \n
  • If there is exactly one input lifetime position (elided or not), that lifetime is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.
    • \n
  • If there are multiple input lifetime positions, but one of them is &self or &mut self, the lifetime of self is assigned to all elided output lifetimes.
    • \n
  • Otherwise, it is an error to elide an output lifetime.

    let s = String::from("hello");
    • \n
  • push_str(): append a str slice a string

HashMap ownership

    \n
  • For types that implement the Copy trait (such as i32), the value will be copied into the HashMap
    • \n
  • For values with ownership, such as (String), the value will be moved and ownership will be given to HashMap
    • \n

unwrap && expect

    \n
  • If do not want to deal with Err, can use unwarp() method. If result is Ok(val), return val. If Err, then call the panic! macro.

The question mark operator, ?

When writing code that calls many functions that return the Result type, the error handling can be tedious. The question mark operator, ?, hides some of the boilerplate of propagating errors up the call stack.

They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).\n\n### Deref & Drop\nSmart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the `Deref` and `Drop` traits.\n- The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers. \n- The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.\n\n### the most common smart pointers in the standard library:\n- `Box` for allocating values on the heap\n- `Rc`, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership\n- `Ref` and `RefMut`, accessed through `RefCell`, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time\n\n## Box\n### when to use\n- When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)\n- When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so\n- When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type\n\n\n### enabling recursive types with Box\nAt compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up\nOne type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address\n\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, List),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Cons(2, Cons(3, Nil))); // not allowed, infinite size\n}\n```\n\nuse Box\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Box::new(Cons(2, Box::new(Cons(3, Box::new(Nil))))));\n}\n```\n\n## Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait\nImplementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, `*`\nBy implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.\n\n### Defining Our Own Smart Pointer\n```rust\nuse std::ops::Deref;\n\nstruct MyBox(T); // The MyBox type is a tuple struct with one element of type T\n\nimpl MyBox {\n fn new(x: T) -> MyBox {\n MyBox(x)\n }\n}\n\nimpl Deref for MyBox {\n type Target = T;\n\n fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {\n &self.0\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = MyBox::new(x);\n\n assert_eq!(5, x);\n assert_eq!(5, *y);\n}\n```\n- We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator. \n- behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method\n- The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.\n\n### Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods\nDeref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods. \nDeref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str\nA sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.\n\n```rust\nfn hello(name: &str) {\n println!(\"Hello, {}!\", name);\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let m = MyBox::new(String::from(\"Rust\"));\n hello(\"rust\"); // ok\n hello(&m); // also ok\n hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello\n}\n```\nHere we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.\n\n### How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability\nSimilar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.\n\nRust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:\n- From &T to &U when T: Deref\n- From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut\n- From &mut T to &U when T: Deref\n\n## Running Code on Cleanup with the Drop Trait\nDrop, which lets you customize what happens when a value is about to go out of scope. \n\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"my stuff\"),\n };\n c.drop(); // not allowed\n let d = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"other stuff\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointers created.\");\n}\n\n```\n### Dropping a Value Early with std::mem::drop\nstd::mem::drop is in prelude, can use directly\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"some data\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer created.\");\n drop(c); // ok\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.\");\n} // c goes out of scope, will occur double drop\n\n```\n\n\n## Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer\nIn the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners. \ntype keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.\n\nWe use the `Rc` type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.\n\nRc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios\n\n### using Rc to share data\n\n![rc](/images/rust/pointers/rc.png)\nimplement use box will not work, as below\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Cons(5, Box::new(Cons(10, Box::new(Nil))));\n let b = Cons(3, Box::new(a)); // value moved here\n let c = Cons(4, Box::new(a)); // value used here after move\n}\n```\nuse Rc\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n}\n```\n\n\nWe could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.\n\n### Cloning an Rc Increases the Reference Count\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n println!(\"count after creating a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 1\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating b = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n {\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating c = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3\n }\n println!(\"count after c goes out of scope = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n}\n```\nWhat we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.\n\n## RefCell and interior mutability pattern\nInterior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.\nTo mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.\nWe can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that. \nThe unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.\n\n### Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell\nUnlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.\n\nrecall borrowing rules\n- At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.\n- References must always be valid.\nWith references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime. \nBecause RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.\n\n### Interior Mutability: A Mutable Borrow to an Immutable Value\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = &mut x; // not allowed. cannot borrow `x` as mutable, as it is not declared as mutable\n}\n```\n\n### A Use Case for Interior Mutability: Mock Objects\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n```\na problematic usage\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: Vec,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: vec![],\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.push(String::from(message)); // not allowed. cannot borrow `self.sent_messages` as mutable, as it is behind a `&` reference\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.len(), 1);\n }\n}\n\n```\nWe can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition\n\nThis is a situation in which interior mutability can help! \n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n use std::cell::RefCell;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell>,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.borrow_mut().push(String::from(message)); // call borrow_mut on the RefCell> in self.sent_messages to get a mutable reference to the value inside the RefCell>\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n // --snip--\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.borrow().len(), 1); // call borrow on the RefCell> to get an immutable reference to the vector.\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell\nWhen creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. **The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut**. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.\n\nThe RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime. \n```rust\nimpl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n let mut one_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n let mut two_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n\n one_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n two_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n }\n }\n```\nWhen we run the tests for our library, the code in will compile without any errors, but the test will fail\nthread 'main' panicked at 'already borrowed\n\n### Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell\nA common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!\n```rust\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(Rc>, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.\n\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); // Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a\n\n let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));\n let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));\n\n *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc to the inner RefCell value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.\n\n println!(\"a after = {:?}\", a);\n println!(\"b after = {:?}\", b);\n println!(\"c after = {:?}\", c);\n}\n```\n\n**The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;** \n\n## Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory\nRust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).\n\n### Creating a Reference Cycle\n```rust\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>), // The second element in the Cons variant is now RefCell>, meaning that we want to modify which List value a Cons variant is pointing to. \n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> { // We’re also adding a tail method to make it convenient for us to access the second item if we have a Cons variant.\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>),\n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> {\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, RefCell::new(Rc::new(Nil))));\n\n println!(\"a initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n\n let b = Rc::new(Cons(10, RefCell::new(Rc::clone(&a)))); // his code creates a list in a and a list in b that points to the list in a\n\n println!(\"a rc count after b creation = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"b initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"b next item = {:?}\", b.tail());\n\n if let Some(link) = a.tail() {\n *link.borrow_mut() = Rc::clone(&b); // modifies the list in a to point to b, creating a reference cycle\n }\n\n println!(\"b rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"a rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n\n // Uncomment the next line to see that we have a cycle;\n // it will overflow the stack\n // println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n} // At the end of main, Rust drops the variable b, which decreases the reference count of the Rc instance from 2 to 1. The memory that Rc has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.\n```\n![cycle-ref](/images/rust/pointers/cycle.ref.png)\n\n### Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak\nSo far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.\n\nStrong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.\n\nBecause the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped. \n\n\n### Creating a Tree Data Structure: a Node with Child Nodes\n```rust\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nstruct Node {\n value: i32,\n parent: RefCell>, // To make the child node aware of its parent, we need to add a parent field to our Node struct definition.

They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).\n\n### Deref & Drop\nSmart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the `Deref` and `Drop` traits.\n- The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers. \n- The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.\n\n### the most common smart pointers in the standard library:\n- `Box` for allocating values on the heap\n- `Rc`, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership\n- `Ref` and `RefMut`, accessed through `RefCell`, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time\n\n## Box\n### when to use\n- When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)\n- When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so\n- When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type\n\n\n### enabling recursive types with Box\nAt compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up\nOne type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address\n\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, List),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Cons(2, Cons(3, Nil))); // not allowed, infinite size\n}\n```\n\nuse Box\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let list = Cons(1, Box::new(Cons(2, Box::new(Cons(3, Box::new(Nil))))));\n}\n```\n\n## Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait\nImplementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, `*`\nBy implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.\n\n### Defining Our Own Smart Pointer\n```rust\nuse std::ops::Deref;\n\nstruct MyBox(T); // The MyBox type is a tuple struct with one element of type T\n\nimpl MyBox {\n fn new(x: T) -> MyBox {\n MyBox(x)\n }\n}\n\nimpl Deref for MyBox {\n type Target = T;\n\n fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {\n &self.0\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = MyBox::new(x);\n\n assert_eq!(5, x);\n assert_eq!(5, *y);\n}\n```\n- We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator. \n- behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method\n- The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.\n\n### Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods\nDeref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods. \nDeref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str\nA sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.\n\n```rust\nfn hello(name: &str) {\n println!(\"Hello, {}!\", name);\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let m = MyBox::new(String::from(\"Rust\"));\n hello(\"rust\"); // ok\n hello(&m); // also ok\n hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello\n}\n```\nHere we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.\n\n### How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability\nSimilar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.\n\nRust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:\n- From &T to &U when T: Deref\n- From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut\n- From &mut T to &U when T: Deref\n\n## Running Code on Cleanup with the Drop Trait\nDrop, which lets you customize what happens when a value is about to go out of scope. \n\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"my stuff\"),\n };\n c.drop(); // not allowed\n let d = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"other stuff\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointers created.\");\n}\n\n```\n### Dropping a Value Early with std::mem::drop\nstd::mem::drop is in prelude, can use directly\n```rust\nstruct CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String,\n}\n\nimpl Drop for CustomSmartPointer {\n fn drop(&mut self) {\n println!(\"Dropping CustomSmartPointer with data `{}`!\", self.data);\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let c = CustomSmartPointer {\n data: String::from(\"some data\"),\n };\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer created.\");\n drop(c); // ok\n println!(\"CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.\");\n} // c goes out of scope, will occur double drop\n\n```\n\n\n## Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer\nIn the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners. \ntype keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.\n\nWe use the `Rc` type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.\n\nRc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios\n\n### using Rc to share data\n\n![rc](/images/rust/pointers/rc.png)\nimplement use box will not work, as below\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Box),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Cons(5, Box::new(Cons(10, Box::new(Nil))));\n let b = Cons(3, Box::new(a)); // value moved here\n let c = Cons(4, Box::new(a)); // value used here after move\n}\n```\nuse Rc\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n}\n```\n\n\nWe could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.\n\n### Cloning an Rc Increases the Reference Count\n```rust\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, Rc::new(Cons(10, Rc::new(Nil)))));\n println!(\"count after creating a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 1\n let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating b = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n {\n let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));\n println!(\"count after creating c = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3\n }\n println!(\"count after c goes out of scope = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 2\n}\n```\nWhat we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.\n\n## RefCell and interior mutability pattern\nInterior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.\nTo mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.\nWe can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that. \nThe unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.\n\n### Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell\nUnlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.\n\nrecall borrowing rules\n- At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.\n- References must always be valid.\nWith references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime. \nBecause RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.\n\n### Interior Mutability: A Mutable Borrow to an Immutable Value\n```rust\nfn main() {\n let x = 5;\n let y = &mut x; // not allowed. cannot borrow `x` as mutable, as it is not declared as mutable\n}\n```\n\n### A Use Case for Interior Mutability: Mock Objects\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n```\na problematic usage\n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: Vec,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: vec![],\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.push(String::from(message)); // not allowed. cannot borrow `self.sent_messages` as mutable, as it is behind a `&` reference\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.len(), 1);\n }\n}\n\n```\nWe can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition\n\nThis is a situation in which interior mutability can help! \n```rust\npub trait Messenger {\n fn send(&self, msg: &str);\n}\n\npub struct LimitTracker<'a, T: Messenger> {\n messenger: &'a T,\n value: usize,\n max: usize,\n}\n\nimpl<'a, T> LimitTracker<'a, T>\nwhere\n T: Messenger,\n{\n pub fn new(messenger: &T, max: usize) -> LimitTracker {\n LimitTracker {\n messenger,\n value: 0,\n max,\n }\n }\n\n pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: usize) {\n self.value = value;\n\n let percentage_of_max = self.value as f64 / self.max as f64;\n\n if percentage_of_max >= 1.0 {\n self.messenger.send(\"Error: You are over your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.9 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Urgent warning: You've used up over 90% of your quota!\");\n } else if percentage_of_max >= 0.75 {\n self.messenger\n .send(\"Warning: You've used up over 75% of your quota!\");\n }\n }\n}\n\n#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {\n use super::*;\n use std::cell::RefCell;\n\n struct MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell>,\n }\n\n impl MockMessenger {\n fn new() -> MockMessenger {\n MockMessenger {\n sent_messages: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n }\n }\n }\n\n impl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n self.sent_messages.borrow_mut().push(String::from(message)); // call borrow_mut on the RefCell> in self.sent_messages to get a mutable reference to the value inside the RefCell>\n }\n }\n\n #[test]\n fn it_sends_an_over_75_percent_warning_message() {\n // --snip--\n let mock_messenger = MockMessenger::new();\n let mut limit_tracker = LimitTracker::new(&mock_messenger, 100);\n\n limit_tracker.set_value(80);\n\n assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.borrow().len(), 1); // call borrow on the RefCell> to get an immutable reference to the vector.\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell\nWhen creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. **The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut**. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.\n\nThe RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime. \n```rust\nimpl Messenger for MockMessenger {\n fn send(&self, message: &str) {\n let mut one_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n let mut two_borrow = self.sent_messages.borrow_mut();\n\n one_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n two_borrow.push(String::from(message));\n }\n }\n```\nWhen we run the tests for our library, the code in will compile without any errors, but the test will fail\nthread 'main' panicked at 'already borrowed\n\n### Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell\nA common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!\n```rust\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(Rc>, Rc),\n Nil,\n}\n\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\nfn main() {\n let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.\n\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); // Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a\n\n let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));\n let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));\n\n *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc to the inner RefCell value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.\n\n println!(\"a after = {:?}\", a);\n println!(\"b after = {:?}\", b);\n println!(\"c after = {:?}\", c);\n}\n```\n\n**The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;** \n\n## Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory\nRust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).\n\n### Creating a Reference Cycle\n```rust\nuse crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>), // The second element in the Cons variant is now RefCell>, meaning that we want to modify which List value a Cons variant is pointing to. \n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> { // We’re also adding a tail method to make it convenient for us to access the second item if we have a Cons variant.\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nenum List {\n Cons(i32, RefCell>),\n Nil,\n}\n\nimpl List {\n fn tail(&self) -> Option<&RefCell>> {\n match self {\n Cons(_, item) => Some(item),\n Nil => None,\n }\n }\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let a = Rc::new(Cons(5, RefCell::new(Rc::new(Nil))));\n\n println!(\"a initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n\n let b = Rc::new(Cons(10, RefCell::new(Rc::clone(&a)))); // his code creates a list in a and a list in b that points to the list in a\n\n println!(\"a rc count after b creation = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n println!(\"b initial rc count = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"b next item = {:?}\", b.tail());\n\n if let Some(link) = a.tail() {\n *link.borrow_mut() = Rc::clone(&b); // modifies the list in a to point to b, creating a reference cycle\n }\n\n println!(\"b rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&b));\n println!(\"a rc count after changing a = {}\", Rc::strong_count(&a));\n\n // Uncomment the next line to see that we have a cycle;\n // it will overflow the stack\n // println!(\"a next item = {:?}\", a.tail());\n} // At the end of main, Rust drops the variable b, which decreases the reference count of the Rc instance from 2 to 1. The memory that Rc has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.\n```\n![cycle-ref](/images/rust/pointers/cycle.ref.png)\n\n### Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak\nSo far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.\n\nStrong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.\n\nBecause the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped. \n\n\n### Creating a Tree Data Structure: a Node with Child Nodes\n```rust\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::Rc;\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nstruct Node {\n value: i32,\n parent: RefCell>, // To make the child node aware of its parent, we need to add a parent field to our Node struct definition. The trouble is in deciding what the type of parent should be. We know it can’t contain an Rc, because that would create a reference cycle with leaf.parent pointing to branch and branch.children pointing to leaf, which would cause their strong_count values to never be 0.\n children: RefCell>>,\n}\n\nfn main() {\n\n let leaf = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 3,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n });\n\n println!(\"leaf parent = {:?}\", leaf.parent.borrow().upgrade()); // try to get a reference to the parent of leaf by using the upgrade method, we get a None value. \n\n let branch = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 5,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![Rc::clone(&leaf)]), // We clone the Rc in leaf and store that in branch, meaning the Node in leaf now has two owners: leaf and branch. \n });\n\n *leaf.parent.borrow_mut() = Rc::downgrade(&branch); // use the Rc::downgrade function to create a Weak reference to branch from the Rc in branch.\n\n println!(\"leaf parent = {:?}\", leaf.parent.borrow().upgrade());\n\n \n}\n```\n\n### Visualizing Changes to strong_count and weak_count\n```rust\nuse std::cell::RefCell;\nuse std::rc::{Rc, Weak};\n\n#[derive(Debug)]\nstruct Node {\n value: i32,\n parent: RefCell>,\n children: RefCell>>,\n}\n\nfn main() {\n let leaf = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 3,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![]),\n });\n\n println!(\n \"leaf strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&leaf),\n Rc::weak_count(&leaf),\n );\n\n {\n let branch = Rc::new(Node {\n value: 5,\n parent: RefCell::new(Weak::new()),\n children: RefCell::new(vec![Rc::clone(&leaf)]),\n });\n\n *leaf.parent.borrow_mut() = Rc::downgrade(&branch);\n\n println!(\n \"branch strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&branch),\n Rc::weak_count(&branch),\n );\n\n println!(\n \"leaf strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&leaf),\n Rc::weak_count(&leaf),\n );\n }\n\n println!(\"leaf parent = {:?}\", leaf.parent.borrow().upgrade());\n println!(\n \"leaf strong = {}, weak = {}\",\n Rc::strong_count(&leaf),\n Rc::weak_count(&leaf),\n );\n}\n```","slug":"rust/rust-06-smart-pointer","published":1,"updated":"2023-05-03T07:31:43.613Z","comments":1,"layout":"post","photos":[],"link":"","_id":"clk1e4wps000j6hsj1nk1429h","content":"

Overview

The most common kind of pointer in Rust is a reference (borrow but not own)
Smart pointers, on the other hand, are data structures that not only act like a pointer but also have additional metadata and capabilities.
references are pointers that only borrow data; in contrast, in many cases, smart pointers own the data they point to.

\n

smart pointers example

    \n
  • String
    • \n
  • Vec
    Both these types count as smart pointers because they own some memory and allow you to manipulate it. They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).
    • \n
\n

Deref & Drop

Smart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the Deref and Drop traits.

\n
    \n
  • The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers.
    • \n
  • The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.
    • \n
\n

the most common smart pointers in the standard library:

    \n
  • Box<T> for allocating values on the heap
    • \n
  • Rc<T>, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership
    • \n
  • Ref<T> and RefMut<T>, accessed through RefCell<T>, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time
    • \n
\n

Box

when to use

    \n
  • When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)
    • \n
  • When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so
    • \n
  • When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type
    • \n
\n

enabling recursive types with Box

At compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up
One type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address

}

Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait

Implementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, *
By implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.

    fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
        &self.0
    }
}

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = MyBox::new(x);

    assert_eq!(5, x);
    assert_eq!(5, *y);
}
\n
    \n
  • We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator.
    • \n
  • behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method
    • \n
  • The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.

Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods

Deref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods.
Deref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str
A sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.

fn hello(name: &str) {
    println!("Hello, {}!", name);
}

fn main() {
    let m = MyBox::new(String::from("Rust"));
    hello("rust");  // ok
    hello(&m);      // also ok
    hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox<String> into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello
}
\n

Here we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.

\n

How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability

Similar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.

\n

Rust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:

\n
    \n
  • From &T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n

Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer

In the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners.
type keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.

\n

We use the Rc<T> type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.

\n

Rc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios

    let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data
    let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
}
\n\n\n

We could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.

\n

    let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));
    println!("count after creating b = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
    {
        let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
        println!("count after creating c = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3
    }
    println!("count after c goes out of scope = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
}
\n

What we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.

\n

RefCell and interior mutability pattern

Interior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.
To mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.
We can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that.
The unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.

\n

Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell

Unlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.

\n

recall borrowing rules

\n
    \n
  • At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.
    • \n
  • References must always be valid.
    With references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime.
    Because RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.

        assert_eq!(mock_messenger.sent_messages.len(), 1);
    }
}

\n

We can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition

\n

This is a situation in which interior mutability can help!

Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell

When creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.

\n

The RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime.

Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell

A common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!

}

use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn main() {
    let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc<RefCell<i32>> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.

    let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); //  Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc<T> so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a

    let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));
    let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));

    *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc<T> to the inner RefCell<T> value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut<T> smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.

    println!("a after = {:?}", a);
    println!("b after = {:?}", b);
    println!("c after = {:?}", c);
}
\n\n

The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;

Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory

Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).

The memory that Rc<List> has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc<List> instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc<List> instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.

Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak

So far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.

\n

Strong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.

\n

Because the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option<Rc>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped.

Overview

The most common kind of pointer in Rust is a reference (borrow but not own)
Smart pointers, on the other hand, are data structures that not only act like a pointer but also have additional metadata and capabilities.
references are pointers that only borrow data; in contrast, in many cases, smart pointers own the data they point to.

\n

smart pointers example

    \n
  • String
    • \n
  • Vec
    Both these types count as smart pointers because they own some memory and allow you to manipulate it. They also have metadata (such as their capacity) and extra capabilities or guarantees (such as with String ensuring its data will always be valid UTF-8).
    • \n
\n

Deref & Drop

Smart pointers are usually implemented using structs. The characteristic that distinguishes a smart pointer from an ordinary struct is that smart pointers implement the Deref and Drop traits.

\n
    \n
  • The Deref trait allows an instance of the smart pointer struct to behave like a reference so you can write code that works with either references or smart pointers.
    • \n
  • The Drop trait allows you to customize the code that is run when an instance of the smart pointer goes out of scope.
    • \n
\n

the most common smart pointers in the standard library:

    \n
  • Box<T> for allocating values on the heap
    • \n
  • Rc<T>, a reference counting type that enables multiple ownership
    • \n
  • Ref<T> and RefMut<T>, accessed through RefCell<T>, a type that enforces the borrowing rules at runtime instead of compile time
    • \n
\n

Box

when to use

    \n
  • When you have a type whose size can’t be known at compile time and you want to use a value of that type in a context that requires an exact size. (such as cons)
    • \n
  • When you have a large amount of data and you want to transfer ownership but ensure the data won’t be copied when you do so
    • \n
  • When you want to own a value and you care only that it’s a type that implements a particular trait rather than being of a specific type
    • \n
\n

enabling recursive types with Box

At compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up
One type whose size can’t be known at compile time is a recursive type (cons list), use Box, which only contains a memory address

}
\n\n

Treating Smart Pointers Like Regular References with the Deref Trait

Implementing the Deref trait allows you to customize the behavior of the dereference operator, *
By implementing Deref in such a way that a smart pointer can be treated like a regular reference, you can write code that operates on references and use that code with smart pointers too.

impl<T> MyBox<T> {
    fn new(x: T) -> MyBox<T> {
        MyBox(x)
    }
}

impl<T> Deref for MyBox<T> {
    type Target = T;

    fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
        &self.0
    }
}

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = MyBox::new(x);

    assert_eq!(5, x);
    assert_eq!(5, *y);
}
\n
    \n
  • We fill in the body of the deref method with &self.0 so deref returns a reference to the value we want to access with the * operator.
    • \n
  • behind the scenes Rust actually ran this code: *(y.deref()). Rust substitutes the * operator with a call to the deref method
    • \n
  • The reason the deref method returns a reference to a value, and that the plain dereference outside the parentheses in *(y.deref()) is still necessary, is the ownership system. If the deref method returned the value directly instead of a reference to the value, the value would be moved out of self. We don’t want to take ownership of the inner value inside MyBox in this case or in most cases where we use the dereference operator.
    • \n
\n

Implicit Deref Coercions with Functions and Methods

Deref coercion is a convenience that Rust performs on arguments to functions and methods.
Deref coercion works only on types that implement the Deref trait. Deref coercion converts a reference to such a type into a reference to another type. For example, deref coercion can convert &String to &str because String implements the Deref trait such that it returns &str
A sequence of calls to the deref method converts the type we provided into the type the parameter needs.

fn hello(name: &str) {
    println!("Hello, {}!", name);
}

fn main() {
    let m = MyBox::new(String::from("Rust"));
    hello("rust");  // ok
    hello(&m);      // also ok
    hello(&(*m)[..]); // without deref coercion. The (*m) dereferences the MyBox<String> into a String. Then the & and [..] take a string slice of the String that is equal to the whole string to match the signature of hello
}
\n

Here we’re calling the hello function with the argument &m, which is a reference to a MyBox value. Because we implemented the Deref trait on MyBox, Rust can turn &MyBox into &String by calling deref. The standard library provides an implementation of Deref on String that returns a string slice. Rust calls deref again to turn the &String into &str, which matches the hello function’s definition.

\n

How Deref Coercion Interacts with Mutability

Similar to how you use the Deref trait to override the * operator on immutable references, you can use the DerefMut trait to override the * operator on mutable references.

\n

Rust does deref coercion when it finds types and trait implementations in three cases:

\n
    \n
  • From &T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &mut U when T: DerefMut<Target=U>
    • \n
  • From &mut T to &U when T: Deref<Target=U>
    • \n
\n

}

fn main() {
    let c = CustomSmartPointer {
        data: String::from("my stuff"),
    };
    c.drop(); // not allowed
    let d = CustomSmartPointer {
        data: String::from("other stuff"),
    };
    println!("CustomSmartPointers created.");

    };
    println!("CustomSmartPointer created.");
    drop(c); // ok
    println!("CustomSmartPointer dropped before the end of main.");
} // c goes out of scope, will occur double drop

\n\n\n

Rc: the Reference Counted Smart Pointer

In the majority of cases, ownership is clear: you know exactly which variable owns a given value. However, there are cases when a single value might have multiple owners.
type keeps track of the number of references to a value to determine whether or not the value is still in use. If there are zero references to a value, the value can be cleaned up without any references becoming invalid.

\n

We use the Rc<T> type when we want to allocate some data on the heap for multiple parts of our program to read and we can’t determine at compile time which part will finish using the data last.

\n

Rc is only for use in single-threaded scenarios

    let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a)); // shalow copy only reference, not data
    let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
}
\n\n\n

We could have called a.clone() rather than Rc::clone(&a), but Rust’s convention is to use Rc::clone in this case. The implementation of Rc::clone doesn’t make a deep copy of all the data like most types’ implementations of clone do. The call to Rc::clone only increments the reference count, which doesn’t take much time.

\n

Cloning an Rc Increases the Reference Count

    println!("count after creating a = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 1
    let b = Cons(3, Rc::clone(&a));
    println!("count after creating b = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
    {
        let c = Cons(4, Rc::clone(&a));
        println!("count after creating c = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a)); // 3
    }
    println!("count after c goes out of scope = {}", Rc::strong_count(&a));  // 2
}
\n

What we can’t see in this example is that when b and then a go out of scope at the end of main, the count is then 0, and the Rc is cleaned up completely at that point.

\n

RefCell and interior mutability pattern

Interior mutability is a design pattern in Rust that allows you to mutate data even when there are immutable references to that data; normally, this action is disallowed by the borrowing rules.
To mutate data, the pattern uses unsafe code inside a data structure to bend Rust’s usual rules that govern mutation and borrowing.
We can use types that use the interior mutability pattern when we can ensure that the borrowing rules will be followed at runtime, even though the compiler can’t guarantee that.
The unsafe code involved is then wrapped in a safe API, and the outer type is still immutable.

\n

Enforcing Borrowing Rules at Runtime with RefCell

Unlike Rc, the RefCell type represents single ownership over the data it holds.

\n

recall borrowing rules

\n
    \n
  • At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.
    • \n
  • References must always be valid.
    With references and Box, the borrowing rules’ invariants are enforced at compile time. With RefCell, these invariants are enforced at runtime.
    Because RefCell allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell even when the RefCell is immutable.

}

\n

We can’t modify the MockMessenger to keep track of the messages, because the send method takes an immutable reference to self. We also can’t take the suggestion from the error text to use &mut self instead, because then the signature of send wouldn’t match the signature in the Messenger trait definition

\n

This is a situation in which interior mutability can help!

Keeping Track of Borrows at Runtime with RefCell

When creating immutable and mutable references, we use the & and &mut syntax, respectively. With RefCell, we use the borrow and borrow_mut methods, which are part of the safe API that belongs to RefCell. The borrow method returns the smart pointer type Ref, and borrow_mut returns the smart pointer type RefMut. Both types implement Deref, so we can treat them like regular references.

\n

The RefCell keeps track of how many Ref and RefMut smart pointers are currently active.RefCell lets us have many immutable borrows or one mutable borrow at any point in time. If we try to violate these rules, rather than getting a compiler error as we would with references, the implementation of RefCell will panic at runtime.

Having Multiple Owners of Mutable Data by Combining Rc and RefCell

A common way to use RefCell is in combination with Rc. If you have an Rc that holds a RefCell, you can get a value that can have multiple owners and that you can mutate!

}

use crate::List::{Cons, Nil};
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn main() {
    let value = Rc::new(RefCell::new(5)); // We create a value that is an instance of Rc<RefCell<i32>> and store it in a variable named value so we can access it directly later.

    let a = Rc::new(Cons(Rc::clone(&value), Rc::new(Nil))); //  Then we create a List in a with a Cons variant that holds value. We need to clone value so both a and value have ownership of the inner 5 value rather than transferring ownership from value to a or having a borrow from value. We wrap the list a in an Rc<T> so when we create lists b and c, they can both refer to a

    let b = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(3)), Rc::clone(&a));
    let c = Cons(Rc::new(RefCell::new(4)), Rc::clone(&a));

    *value.borrow_mut() += 10; // After we’ve created the lists in a, b, and c, we add 10 to the value in value. We do this by calling borrow_mut on value, which uses the automatic dereferencing feature to dereference the Rc<T> to the inner RefCell<T> value. The borrow_mut method returns a RefMut<T> smart pointer, and we use the dereference operator on it and change the inner value.

    println!("a after = {:?}", a);
    println!("b after = {:?}", b);
    println!("c after = {:?}", c);
}
\n\n

The standard library has other types that provide interior mutability, such as Cell, which is similar except that instead of giving references to the inner value, the value is copied in and out of the Cell. There’s also Mutex, which offers interior mutability that’s safe to use across threads;

Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory

Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak).

The memory that Rc<List> has on the heap won’t be dropped at this point, because its reference count is 1, not 0. Then Rust drops a, which decreases the reference count of the a Rc<List> instance from 2 to 1 as well. This instance’s memory can’t be dropped either, because the other Rc<List> instance still refers to it. The memory allocated to the list will remain uncollected forever.

Preventing Reference Cycles: Turning an Rc into a Weak

So far, we’ve demonstrated that calling Rc::clone increases the strong_count of an Rc instance, and an Rc instance is only cleaned up if its strong_count is 0. You can also create a weak reference to the value within an Rc instance by calling Rc::downgrade and passing a reference to the Rc. When you call Rc::downgrade, you get a smart pointer of type Weak. Instead of increasing the strong_count in the Rc instance by 1, calling Rc::downgrade increases the weak_count by 1. The Rc type uses weak_count to keep track of how many Weak references exist, similar to strong_count. The difference is the weak_count doesn’t need to be 0 for the Rc instance to be cleaned up.

\n

Strong references are how you can share ownership of an Rc instance. Weak references don’t express an ownership relationship. They won’t cause a reference cycle because any cycle involving some weak references will be broken once the strong reference count of values involved is 0.

\n

Because the value that Weak references might have been dropped, to do anything with the value that a Weak is pointing to, you must make sure the value still exists. Do this by calling the upgrade method on a Weak instance, which will return an Option<Rc>. You’ll get a result of Some if the Rc value has not been dropped yet and a result of None if the Rc value has been dropped.

trait object

Rust provides dynamic dispatch through a feature called trait objects. Trait objects, like &Foo or Box, are normal values that store a value of any type that implements the given trait, where the precise type can only be known at runtime. more details can be found on [references 1]

\n

any

This module (std::any) contains the Any trait, which enables dynamic typing of any 'static type through runtime reflection. It also contains the Provider trait and accompanying API, which enable trait objects to provide data based on typed requests, an alternate form of runtime reflection.
Any itself can be used to get a TypeId

\n

In order to have all four basic arithmetic operations (i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) in one structure, we need a set which contains an additive and a multiplicative group. this is what we call a field.

\n
    \n
  • all elements of \\( F\\) form an additive group with the group operation \\( + \\) and the neutral element \\( 0 \\)
    • \n

\n

a field with order m only exists if m is a prime power, i.e, \\( m = p^{n} \\), for some positive integer n and prime integer p. p is called the characteristic of the finite field

\n
\n

the theorem implies that there are, for instance, finite fields with 11 elements (\\( 11^{1} \\)), or with 81 elements \\( 81 = 3^{4} \\) or with 256 elements (\\( 256 = 2^{8} \\)).

Prime Field

the most intuitive examples of finite fields are fields of prime order, i.e., fields with \\( n =1 \\). elements of the field \\( GF(p) \\) can be represented by integers \\( 0,1,…, p-1 \\).

Extension Field GF(2^m)

In AES the finite field contains 256 elements and is denoted as \\( GF(2^8) \\).
However, if the order of a finite field is not prime, and \\( 2^8 \\) is clearly not a prime, the addition and multiplication operation cannot be represented by addition and multiplication of integers modulo \\( 2^8 \\). such fields with \\( m >1 \\) are called extension field. in order to deal with extension fields we need (1) a different notation for field elements and (2) different rules for performing arithmetic with the elements. elements of extension fields can be represented as polynomials, and computation in the extension field is achieved by performing a certain type of polynomial arithmetic.

\n

In the field \\( GF(2^8) \\), which is used in AES, each element \\( A \\in GF(2^8) \\) is thus represented as:
\\[ A(x) = a_{7}x^7 + …+a_{1}x+a_{0}, a_{i} \\in GF(2) = {0,1} \\]
It is also important to observe that every polynomial can simply be stored in digital form as an 8-bit vector
\\[ A = (a_7,a_6,a_5,a_4,a_3,a_2,a_1,a_0) \\]

\n

addition and subtraction in GF(2^m)

addition and subtraction are simply achieved by performing polynomial addition and subtraction. note that we perform modulo 2 addition (or subtraction) with the coefficients.
\\[ A(x) = x^7 + x^6 + x^4 + 1 \\]
\\[ B(x) = x^4 + x^2+ 1 \\]
\\[ A(x) + B(x) = x^7 + x^6+ x^2 \\]

\n

multiplication in GF(2^m)

firstly, two elements (represented by their polynomials) of a finite field GF(2^m) are multiplied usig the standard polynomial multiplication rule \\[ A(x) \\dot B(x) = C(x) \\]. In general, the product polynomial \\[ C(x) \\] will have a degree higher than m-1 and has to be reduced. to do that, the product of the multiplication is divided by a certain polyhomial, and we consider only the remainder after the polynomial division. we need irreducible polynomials for the module reduction. irreducible polynomials are roughly comparable to prime numbers. their only factors are 1 and polynomial itself.

Naively, storing these key-value pairs as flat data would be very efficient, however, verifying their correctness becomes computationally intractable. Every time a modification would be made, we'd need to hash all that data from scratch (which is not efficient).\n\nInstead of hashing the entire dataset all the time, eth uses MPT. The original useful data would be in the leaves, and each internal node would be a hash of everything below it. This would allow us to only recalculate a logarithmic number of hashes when something is modified, inserted, deleted and verified. A tiny extra is that keys are hashed before insertion to balance the tries (secured trie).\n\n## state storage\nMPT make every read/write of O(lnN) complexity. the depth of the trie is continuously growing; LevelDB also organizes its data into a maximum of 7 levels, so there's an extra multiplier from there. The net result is that a single state access is expected to amplify into **25-50** random disk accesses. \n\nOf course all client implementations try their best to minimize this overhead. Geth uses large memory areas for caching trie nodes; and also uses in-memory pruning to avoid writing to disk nodes that get deleted anyway after a few blocks.\n\n## Not all accesses are created equal\nThe Merkle Patricia tree is essential for writes (matain the capability to verify data), but it's an overhead for reads. \nAn Ethereum node accesses state in a few different places:\n- When importing a new block, EVM code execution does a more-or-less balanced number of state reads and writes. \n- When a node operator retrieves state (e.g. eth_call and family), EVM code execution only does reads (it can write too, but those get discarded at the end and are not persisted).\n- When a node is synchronizing, it is requesting state from remote nodes that need to dig it up and serve it over the network.\n\nif we can short circuit reads not to hit the state trie, a slew of node operations will become significantly faster. \n\n## snapshot\nGeth introduced its snapshot acceleration structure (not enabled by default). A snapshot is a complete view of the Ethereum state at a given block. Abstract implementation wise, it is a dump of all accounts and storage slots, represented by a flat key-value store.\nsnapshot is maintained as an extra to MPT. The snapshot essentially reduces reads from O(log n) to O(1) at the cost of increasing writes from O(log n) to O(1 + log n). \n\n## devil's in the details\nto maintain a snapshot, the naitve approach is to apply changes to current snapshot upon new block. If there's a mini reorg however (even a single block), we're in trouble, because there's no undo. \nTo overcome this limitation, Geth's snapshot is composed of two entities: a persistent disk layer that is a complete snapshot of an older block (e.g. HEAD-128); and a tree of in-memory diff layers that gather the writes on top.\nWhenever a new block is processed, we do not merge the writes directly into the disk layer, rather just create a new in-memory diff layer with the changes. If enough in-memory diff layers are piled on top, the bottom ones start getting merged together and eventually pushed to disk. Whenever a state item is to be read, we start at the topmost diff layer and keep going backwards until we find it or reach the disk.\nOf course, there are lots and lots of gotchas and caveats.\n- On shutdown, the in-memory diff layers need to be persisted into a journal and loaded back up, otherwise the snapshot will become useless on restart.\n- Use the bottom-most diff layer as an accumulator and only flush to disk when it exceeds some memory usage.\n- Allocate a read cache for the disk layer so that contracts accessing the same ancient slot over and over don't cause disk hits.\n- Use cumulative bloom filters in the in-memory diff layers to quickly detect whether there's a chance for an item to be in the diffs, or if we can go to disk immediately.\n- The keys are not the raw data (account address, storage key), rather the hashes of these, ensuring the snapshot has the same iteration order as the Merkle Patricia tree.\n\nThe snapshot also enables blazing fast state iteration of the most recent blocks. This was actually the main reason for building snapshots, as it permitted the creation of the new snap [sync algorithm](https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/pull/145).\n\n## Consensus layer syncing\nall consensus logic and block propagation is handled by consensus clients.

state

Ethereum maintains two different types of state: the set of accounts; and a set of storage slots for each contract account. Naively, storing these key-value pairs as flat data would be very efficient, however, verifying their correctness becomes computationally intractable. Every time a modification would be made, we’d need to hash all that data from scratch (which is not efficient).

\n

Instead of hashing the entire dataset all the time, eth uses MPT. The original useful data would be in the leaves, and each internal node would be a hash of everything below it. This would allow us to only recalculate a logarithmic number of hashes when something is modified, inserted, deleted and verified. A tiny extra is that keys are hashed before insertion to balance the tries (secured trie).

\n

state storage

MPT make every read/write of O(lnN) complexity. the depth of the trie is continuously growing; LevelDB also organizes its data into a maximum of 7 levels, so there’s an extra multiplier from there. The net result is that a single state access is expected to amplify into 25-50 random disk accesses.

\n

Of course all client implementations try their best to minimize this overhead. Geth uses large memory areas for caching trie nodes; and also uses in-memory pruning to avoid writing to disk nodes that get deleted anyway after a few blocks.

\n

Not all accesses are created equal

The Merkle Patricia tree is essential for writes (matain the capability to verify data), but it’s an overhead for reads.
An Ethereum node accesses state in a few different places:

\n
    \n
  • When importing a new block, EVM code execution does a more-or-less balanced number of state reads and writes.
    • \n
  • When a node operator retrieves state (e.g. eth_call and family), EVM code execution only does reads (it can write too, but those get discarded at the end and are not persisted).
    • \n
  • When a node is synchronizing, it is requesting state from remote nodes that need to dig it up and serve it over the network.
    • \n
\n

if we can short circuit reads not to hit the state trie, a slew of node operations will become significantly faster.

\n

snapshot

Geth introduced its snapshot acceleration structure (not enabled by default). A snapshot is a complete view of the Ethereum state at a given block. Abstract implementation wise, it is a dump of all accounts and storage slots, represented by a flat key-value store.
snapshot is maintained as an extra to MPT. The snapshot essentially reduces reads from O(log n) to O(1) at the cost of increasing writes from O(log n) to O(1 + log n).

\n

devil’s in the details

to maintain a snapshot, the naitve approach is to apply changes to current snapshot upon new block. If there’s a mini reorg however (even a single block), we’re in trouble, because there’s no undo.
To overcome this limitation, Geth’s snapshot is composed of two entities: a persistent disk layer that is a complete snapshot of an older block (e.g. HEAD-128); and a tree of in-memory diff layers that gather the writes on top.
Whenever a new block is processed, we do not merge the writes directly into the disk layer, rather just create a new in-memory diff layer with the changes. If enough in-memory diff layers are piled on top, the bottom ones start getting merged together and eventually pushed to disk. Whenever a state item is to be read, we start at the topmost diff layer and keep going backwards until we find it or reach the disk.
Of course, there are lots and lots of gotchas and caveats.

\n
    \n
  • On shutdown, the in-memory diff layers need to be persisted into a journal and loaded back up, otherwise the snapshot will become useless on restart.
    • \n
  • Use the bottom-most diff layer as an accumulator and only flush to disk when it exceeds some memory usage.
    • \n
  • Allocate a read cache for the disk layer so that contracts accessing the same ancient slot over and over don’t cause disk hits.
    • \n
  • Use cumulative bloom filters in the in-memory diff layers to quickly detect whether there’s a chance for an item to be in the diffs, or if we can go to disk immediately.
    • \n
  • The keys are not the raw data (account address, storage key), rather the hashes of these, ensuring the snapshot has the same iteration order as the Merkle Patricia tree.
    • \n
\n

The snapshot also enables blazing fast state iteration of the most recent blocks. This was actually the main reason for building snapshots, as it permitted the creation of the new snap sync algorithm.

all consensus logic and block propagation is handled by consensus clients. Blocks are downloaded by the consensus client and verified by the execution client. Geth cannot sync without being connected to a consensus client.
There are two ways for the consensus client to find a block header that Geth can use as a sync target: optimistic syncing and checkpoint syncing:

overview

this post is my reading summary of paper Yehuda Lindell 2017: Fast secure two-party ecdsa signing. the implementation could be found in tss-lib (golang), zengo’s library (rust).

\n

Unlike other schemes like RSA, Schnorr signatures and more, it is particularly hard to construct efficient threshold signature protocols for ECDSA as there is an inverse computaion of \\( k \\).

\n

In this paper, we consider the specific case of two parties (and thus no honest majority) and con-struct a protocol that is approximately two orders of magnitude faster than the previous best.

\n

Comparing ECDSA signing to EC-Schnorr signing

In both cases, the public verification key is an elliptic curve point \\( Q \\) and the private signing key is \\( x \\) such that \\( Q = x \\cdot G \\), where \\( G \\) is the generator point of an EC group of order \\( q \\).
\"schnorr

\n

Observe that Schnorr signing can be easily distributed since the private key \\( x \\) and the value k are both used in a linear equation. In contrast, in ECDSA signing, the equation for computing \\( s \\) includes \\( k^{-1} \\). Now, given shares \\(k_1\\), \\(k_2\\) such that \\(k_1 + k_2 = k \\bmod q\\) .It is very difficult to compute \\(k_1^{\\prime}\\), \\(k_2^{\\prime}\\) such that \\(k_1^{\\prime} + k_2^{\\prime} = k^{-1} \\bmod q\\)

\n

two-party protocols for ECDSA signing use multiplicative sharing of \\( x \\) and of \\( k \\). That is, the parties hold \\(x_1\\), \\(x_2\\) such that \\(x_1 \\cdot x_2 = x \\bmod q\\), and in each signing operation they generate \\(k_1\\), \\(k_2\\) such that \\(k_1 \\cdot k_2 = k \\bmod q\\).

LazyCell

A value which is initialized on the first access

\n

UnsafeCell

UnsafeCell<T> opts-out of the immutability guarantee for &T: a shared reference &UnsafeCell<T> may point to data that is being mutated. This is called interior mutability.
All other types that allow internal mutability, such as Cell<T> and RefCell<T>, internally use UnsafeCell to wrap their data.
Note that only the immutability guarantee for shared references is affected by UnsafeCell. The uniqueness guarantee for mutable references is unaffected (only one mutable reference at one time, or multiple immutable reference).

\n

methods

    \n
  • pub const fn get(&self) -> *mut T
    Gets a mutable pointer to the wrapped value.
    • \n
  • pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
    Returns a mutable reference to the underlying data
    • \n
  • pub const fn raw_get(this: *const UnsafeCell<T>) -> *mut T
    Gets a mutable pointer to the wrapped value. The difference from get is that this function accepts a raw pointer, which is useful to avoid the creation of temporary references. e.g. Gradual initialization of an UnsafeCell requires raw_get, as calling get would require creating a reference to uninitialized data:

    unsafe { UnsafeCell::raw_get(m.as_ptr()).write(5); }
    let uc = unsafe { m.assume_init() };

    assert_eq!(uc.into_inner(), 5);
    • \n
  • fn into_inner(self) -> T
    Unwraps the value, consuming the cell.
    • \n

SyncUnsafeCell

This is just an UnsafeCell, except it implements Sync if T implements Sync.

Note that you also need to explicitly provide the network_id on the command line for the public testnets such as Sepolia or Geoerli:\n```\n./geth --sepolia dumpconfig > geth-config.toml\n```\nto specify path to config file\n```\ngeth --sepolia --config geth-config.toml\n```\n\n## key configs\n- [Eth].TxLookupLimit \nNumber of recent blocks to maintain transactions index for (default = about one year, 0 = entire chain), default: 2350000\n- [Node].BootstrapNodes\nused to establish connectivity with the rest of the network.\ngeth provides default bootstrapNodes in file `params/bootnodes.go`\n- [Metrics_AND_STATS].ethstats\nReporting URL of a ethstats service (nodename:secret@host:port), [more detail](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/monitoring/ethstats)\n- SyncMode\n- TrieDirtyCache\n- NoPruning\n- TrieCleanCacheJournal e.g triecache\n## how geth starts\n\n![geth starts](/images/geth_starts.drawio.png)\nthe main func is in `cmd/geth/main.go`\n```go\nfunc main() {\n\tif err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {\n\t\tfmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)\n\t\tos.Exit(1)\n\t}\n}\n```\nthe main() function is very short, and its main function is to start a tool for parsing command line commands: `gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1`. Going deeper, we will find that `app.Action = geth` will be called when the cli app is initialized to call the geth() function\n```go\nfunc init() {\n\t// Initialize the CLI app and start Geth\n\tapp.Action = geth\n // ....\n}\n```\ngeth is the main entry point into the system if no special subcommand is run. It creates a default node based on the command line arguments and runs it in blocking mode, waiting for it to be shut down.\n```go\nfunc geth(ctx *cli.Context) error {\n\tif args := ctx.Args().Slice(); len(args) > 0 {\n\t\treturn fmt.Errorf(\"invalid command: %q\", args[0])\n\t}\n\n\tprepare(ctx)\n\tstack, backend := makeFullNode(ctx)\n\tdefer stack.Close()\n\n\tstartNode(ctx, stack, backend, false)\n\tstack.Wait()\n\treturn nil\n}\n```\nIn the geth() function, there are three important function calls, namely: `prepare()`, `makeFullNode()`, and `startNode()`.\n\n### prepare\nThe implementation of the prepare() function is in the current main.go file. It is mainly used to set some configurations required for node initialization.\n\n### makeFullNode\nThe implementation of the `makeFullNode()` function is located in the `cmd/geth/config.go` file. It will load the context of the command and apply user given configuration; and generate instances of `stack` and `backend`. Among them, `stack` is an instance of `Node` type (Node is the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth. It is responsible for managing high-level abstractions such as P2P Server, Http Server, and Database in the node. The definition of the Node type is located in the `node/node.go` file), which is initialized by calling `makeConfigNode()` function through `makeFullNode()` function. inside `makeFullNode`, it calls `node.New(&cfg.Node)` to initiate a node. During instantiating of node, it invokes `rpc.NewServer()` to create a new rpc server and put in the field `inprocHandler`. it registers `rpc` api namespace by default.\n\nThe `backend` here is an interface of `ethapi.Backend` type, which provides the basic functions needed to obtain the runtime of the Ethereum execution layer. Its definition is located in `internal/ethapi/backend.go`. Since there are many functions in this interface, we have selected some of the key functions as below for a glimpse of its functionality. `backend` is created by calling `backend, eth := utils.RegisterEthService(stack, &cfg.Eth)`. Inside, it calls `eth.New(stack, cfg)` to create `backend` instance. During `backend` initiating, it opens database (`chainDb, err := stack.OpenDatabaseWithFreezer(\"chaindata\", config.DatabaseCache, config.DatabaseHandles, config.DatabaseFreezer, \"eth/db/chaindata/\", false)`). Further, it creates consensus engine, `engine := ethconfig.CreateConsensusEngine(stack, ðashConfig, cliqueConfig, config.Miner.Notify, config.Miner.Noverify, chainDb)`. goerli testnet use POA consensus (clique). \n```go\ntype Backend interface {\n\tSyncProgress() ethereum.SyncProgress\n\tSuggestGasTipCap(ctx context.Context) (*big.Int, error)\n\tChainDb() ethdb.Database\n\tAccountManager() *accounts.Manager\n\tExtRPCEnabled() bool\n\tRPCGasCap() uint64 // global gas cap for eth_call over rpc: DoS protection\n\tRPCEVMTimeout() time.Duration // global timeout for eth_call over rpc: DoS protection\n\tRPCTxFeeCap() float64 // global tx fee cap for all transaction related APIs\n\tUnprotectedAllowed() bool // allows only for EIP155 transactions.\n\tSetHead(number uint64)\n\tHeaderByNumber(ctx context.Context, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*types.Header, error)\n\tHeaderByHash(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (*types.Header, error)\n\tHeaderByNumberOrHash(ctx context.Context, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash) (*types.Header, error)\n\tCurrentHeader() *types.Header\n\tCurrentBlock() *types.Header\n\tBlockByNumber(ctx context.Context, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*types.Block, error)\n\tBlockByHash(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (*types.Block, error)\n\tBlockByNumberOrHash(ctx context.Context, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash) (*types.Block, error)\n\tStateAndHeaderByNumber(ctx context.Context, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*state.StateDB, *types.Header, error)\n\tStateAndHeaderByNumberOrHash(ctx context.Context, blockNrOrHash rpc.BlockNumberOrHash) (*state.StateDB, *types.Header, error)\n\tPendingBlockAndReceipts() (*types.Block, types.Receipts)\n\tGetReceipts(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (types.Receipts, error)\n\tGetTd(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) *big.Int\n\tGetEVM(ctx context.Context, msg *core.Message, state *state.StateDB, header *types.Header, vmConfig *vm.Config) (*vm.EVM, func() error, error)\n\tSubscribeChainEvent(ch chan<- core.ChainEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribeChainHeadEvent(ch chan<- core.ChainHeadEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribeChainSideEvent(ch chan<- core.ChainSideEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSendTx(ctx context.Context, signedTx *types.Transaction) error\n\tGetTransaction(ctx context.Context, txHash common.Hash) (*types.Transaction, common.Hash, uint64, uint64, error)\n\tGetPoolTransactions() (types.Transactions, error)\n\tGetPoolTransaction(txHash common.Hash) *types.Transaction\n\tGetPoolNonce(ctx context.Context, addr common.Address) (uint64, error)\n\tStats() (pending int, queued int)\n\tTxPoolContent() (map[common.Address]types.Transactions, map[common.Address]types.Transactions)\n\tTxPoolContentFrom(addr common.Address) (types.Transactions, types.Transactions)\n\tSubscribeNewTxsEvent(chan<- core.NewTxsEvent) event.Subscription\n\tChainConfig() *params.ChainConfig\n\tEngine() consensus.Engine\n\tGetBody(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash, number rpc.BlockNumber) (*types.Body, error)\n\tGetLogs(ctx context.Context, blockHash common.Hash, number uint64) ([][]*types.Log, error)\n\tSubscribeRemovedLogsEvent(ch chan<- core.RemovedLogsEvent) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribeLogsEvent(ch chan<- []*types.Log) event.Subscription\n\tSubscribePendingLogsEvent(ch chan<- []*types.Log) event.Subscription\n\tBloomStatus() (uint64, uint64)\n\tServiceFilter(ctx context.Context, session *bloombits.MatcherSession)\n}\n```\n\nIf readers want to customize some new RPC APIs, they can define functions in the /internal/ethapi.Backend interface and add specific implementations to EthAPIBackend\n\n### startNode\nThe last key function, `startNode()`, is to officially start an Ethereum execution layer node. It starts the Stack instance (Node) by calling the utils.StartNode() function which triggers the Node.Start() function. In the Node.Start() function, it traverses the backend instances registered in `Node.lifecycles` and starts them. In addition, in the startNode() function, the unlockAccounts() function is still called, and the unlocked wallet is registered in the stack, and the RPClient module that interacts with local Geth is created through the stack.Attach() function\n\nAt the end of the geth() function, the function executes `stack.Wait()`, so that the main thread enters the blocking state, and the services of other functional modules are distributed to other sub-coroutines for maintenance\n\n## Node\nAs we mentioned earlier, the Node type belongs to the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth, and it is responsible for being the administrator of the high-level abstract module communicating with the outside world, such as managing rpc server, http server, Web Socket, and P2P Server external interface . At the same time, Node maintains the back-end instances and services (lifecycles []Lifecycle) required for node operation, such as the Ethereum type we mentioned above that is responsible for the specific Service\n```go\ntype Node struct {\n\teventmux *event.TypeMux\n\tconfig *Config\n\taccman *accounts.Manager\n\tlog log.Logger\n\tkeyDir string // key store directory\n\tkeyDirTemp bool // If true, key directory will be removed by Stop\n\tdirLock *flock.Flock // prevents concurrent use of instance directory\n\tstop chan struct{} // Channel to wait for termination notifications\n\tserver *p2p.Server // Currently running P2P networking layer\n\tstartStopLock sync.Mutex // Start/Stop are protected by an additional lock\n\tstate int // Tracks state of node lifecycle\n\n\tlock sync.Mutex\n\tlifecycles []Lifecycle // All registered backends, services, and auxiliary services that have a lifecycle\n\trpcAPIs []rpc.API // List of APIs currently provided by the node\n\thttp *httpServer //\n\tws *httpServer //\n\thttpAuth *httpServer //\n\twsAuth *httpServer //\n\tipc *ipcServer // Stores information about the ipc http server\n\tinprocHandler *rpc.Server // In-process RPC request handler to process the API requests\n\n\tdatabases map[*closeTrackingDB]struct{} // All open databases\n}\n```\n\n### close node\nAs mentioned earlier, the main thread of the entire program is blocked because of calling `stack.Wait()`. We can see that a channel called `stop` is declared in the Node structure. Since this Channel has not been assigned a value, the main process of the entire geth enters the blocking state, and continues to execute other business coroutines concurrently\n```go\n// Wait blocks until the node is closed.\nfunc (n *Node) Wait() {\n <-n.stop\n}\n```\nWhen the Channel n.stop is assigned a value, the geth main function will stop the current blocking state and start to perform a series of corresponding resource release operations.\nIt is worth noting that in the current codebase of go-ethereum, the blocking state of the main process is not ended directly by assigning a value to the stop channel, but a more concise and rude way is used: call the close() function directly Close the Channel. We can find the related implementation in node.doClose(). close() is a native function of go language, used when closing Channel.\n```go\n// doClose releases resources acquired by New(), collecting errors.\nfunc (n *Node) doClose(errs []error) error {\n // Close databases. This needs the lock because it needs to\n // synchronize with OpenDatabase*.\n n.lock.Lock()\n n.state = closedState\n errs = append(errs, n.closeDatabases()...)\n n.lock.Unlock()\n\n if err := n.accman.Close(); err != nil {\n errs = append(errs, err)\n }\n if n.keyDirTemp {\n if err := os.RemoveAll(n.keyDir); err != nil {\n errs = append(errs, err)\n }\n }\n\n // Release instance directory lock.\n n.closeDataDir()\n\n // Unblock n.Wait.\n close(n.stop)\n\n // Report any errors that might have occurred.\n switch len(errs) {\n case 0:\n return nil\n case 1:\n return errs[0]\n default:\n return fmt.Errorf(\"%v\", errs)\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Ethereum Backend\nWe can find the definition of the Ethereum structure in eth/backend.go. The member variables and receiving methods contained in this structure implement all the functions and data structures required by an Ethereum full node. We can see in the following code definition that the Ethereum structure contains several core data structures such as TxPool, Blockchain, consensus.Engine, and miner as member variables.\n```go\ntype Ethereum struct {\n\tconfig *ethconfig.Config\n\n\t// Handlers\n\ttxPool *txpool.TxPool\n\tblockchain *core.BlockChain\n\thandler *handler\n\tethDialCandidates enode.Iterator\n\tsnapDialCandidates enode.Iterator\n\tmerger *consensus.Merger\n\n\t// DB interfaces\n\tchainDb ethdb.Database // Block chain database\n\n\teventMux *event.TypeMux\n\tengine consensus.Engine\n\taccountManager *accounts.Manager\n\n\tbloomRequests chan chan *bloombits.Retrieval // Channel receiving bloom data retrieval requests\n\tbloomIndexer *core.ChainIndexer // Bloom indexer operating during block imports\n\tcloseBloomHandler chan struct{}\n\n\tAPIBackend *EthAPIBackend\n\n\tminer *miner.Miner\n\tgasPrice *big.Int\n\tetherbase common.Address\n\n\tnetworkID uint64\n\tnetRPCService *ethapi.NetAPI\n\n\tp2pServer *p2p.Server\n\n\tlock sync.RWMutex // Protects the variadic fields (e.g. gas price and etherbase)\n\n\tshutdownTracker *shutdowncheck.ShutdownTracker // Tracks if and when the node has shutdown ungracefully\n}\n```\nNodes start and stop Mining by calling `Ethereum.StartMining()` and `Ethereum.StopMining()`. Setting the profit account of Mining is achieved by calling `Ethereum.SetEtherbase()`\nHere we pay extra attention to the member variable `handler`. The definition of `handler` is in `eth/handler.go`.\nFrom a macro point of view, the main workflow of a node needs to: 1. Obtain/synchronize Transaction and Block data from the network 2. Add the Block obtained from the network to the Blockchain. The handler is responsible for providing the function of synchronizing blocks and transaction data, for example, `downloader.Downloader` is responsible for synchronizing Block from the network, and `fetcher.TxFetcher` is responsible for synchronizing transactions from the network","source":"_posts/geth/code_analysis/geth.0.get.start.md","raw":"---\ntitle: geth start\ndate: 2022-11-01 18:15:12\ntags: [blockchain,geth]\n---\n\n## build from source\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git\ncd go-ethereum\nmake geth\n```\n\n## understanding geth config\ngeth config type is defined in /cmd/geth/config.go\n```go\ntype gethConfig struct {\n\tEth ethconfig.Config\n\tNode node.Config\n\tEthstats ethstatsConfig\n\tMetrics metrics.Config\n}\n```\n- **ethconfig** (eth/ethconfig/config.go)\ncontains configuration options for of the ETH and LES(light node) protocols, such as NetworkId, SyncMode, txpool.Config, database options\n- **nodeConfig** (node/config.go)\nrepresents a small collection of configuration values to fine tune the P2P network layer of a protocol stack.

The config file should be a .toml file. A convenient way to create a config file is to get Geth to create one for you and use it as a template. To do this, use the dumpconfig command, saving the result to a .toml file. Note that you also need to explicitly provide the network_id on the command line for the public testnets such as Sepolia or Geoerli:

func main() {
\tif err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {
\t\tfmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
\t\tos.Exit(1)
\t}
}
\n

the main() function is very short, and its main function is to start a tool for parsing command line commands: gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1. Going deeper, we will find that app.Action = geth will be called when the cli app is initialized to call the geth() function

\n

func init() {
\t// Initialize the CLI app and start Geth
\tapp.Action = geth
    // ....
}
\n

geth is the main entry point into the system if no special subcommand is run. It creates a default node based on the command line arguments and runs it in blocking mode, waiting for it to be shut down.

\tprepare(ctx)
\tstack, backend := makeFullNode(ctx)
\tdefer stack.Close()

\tstartNode(ctx, stack, backend, false)
\tstack.Wait()
\treturn nil
}
\n

In the geth() function, there are three important function calls, namely: prepare(), makeFullNode(), and startNode().

\n

prepare

The implementation of the prepare() function is in the current main.go file. It is mainly used to set some configurations required for node initialization.

\n

makeFullNode

The implementation of the makeFullNode() function is located in the cmd/geth/config.go file. It will load the context of the command and apply user given configuration; and generate instances of stack and backend. Among them, stack is an instance of Node type (Node is the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth. It is responsible for managing high-level abstractions such as P2P Server, Http Server, and Database in the node. The definition of the Node type is located in the node/node.go file), which is initialized by calling makeConfigNode() function through makeFullNode() function. inside makeFullNode, it calls node.New(&cfg.Node) to initiate a node. During instantiating of node, it invokes rpc.NewServer() to create a new rpc server and put in the field inprocHandler. it registers rpc api namespace by default.

\n

The backend here is an interface of ethapi.Backend type, which provides the basic functions needed to obtain the runtime of the Ethereum execution layer. Its definition is located in internal/ethapi/backend.go. Since there are many functions in this interface, we have selected some of the key functions as below for a glimpse of its functionality. backend is created by calling backend, eth := utils.RegisterEthService(stack, &cfg.Eth). Inside, it calls eth.New(stack, cfg) to create backend instance. During backend initiating, it opens database (chainDb, err := stack.OpenDatabaseWithFreezer("chaindata", config.DatabaseCache, config.DatabaseHandles, config.DatabaseFreezer, "eth/db/chaindata/", false)). Further, it creates consensus engine, engine := ethconfig.CreateConsensusEngine(stack, &ethashConfig, cliqueConfig, config.Miner.Notify, config.Miner.Noverify, chainDb). goerli testnet use POA consensus (clique).

\n\n

If readers want to customize some new RPC APIs, they can define functions in the /internal/ethapi.Backend interface and add specific implementations to EthAPIBackend

\n

startNode

The last key function, startNode(), is to officially start an Ethereum execution layer node. It starts the Stack instance (Node) by calling the utils.StartNode() function which triggers the Node.Start() function. In the Node.Start() function, it traverses the backend instances registered in Node.lifecycles and starts them. In addition, in the startNode() function, the unlockAccounts() function is still called, and the unlocked wallet is registered in the stack, and the RPClient module that interacts with local Geth is created through the stack.Attach() function

\n

At the end of the geth() function, the function executes stack.Wait(), so that the main thread enters the blocking state, and the services of other functional modules are distributed to other sub-coroutines for maintenance

\n

Node

As we mentioned earlier, the Node type belongs to the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth, and it is responsible for being the administrator of the high-level abstract module communicating with the outside world, such as managing rpc server, http server, Web Socket, and P2P Server external interface . At the same time, Node maintains the back-end instances and services (lifecycles []Lifecycle) required for node operation, such as the Ethereum type we mentioned above that is responsible for the specific Service

\tinprocHandler *rpc.Server // In-process RPC request handler to process the API requests

\tdatabases map[*closeTrackingDB]struct{} // All open databases
}
\n\n

close node

As mentioned earlier, the main thread of the entire program is blocked because of calling stack.Wait(). We can see that a channel called stop is declared in the Node structure. Since this Channel has not been assigned a value, the main process of the entire geth enters the blocking state, and continues to execute other business coroutines concurrently

\n
1
2
3
4
// Wait blocks until the node is closed.
func (n *Node) Wait() {
 <-n.stop
}
\n

When the Channel n.stop is assigned a value, the geth main function will stop the current blocking state and start to perform a series of corresponding resource release operations.
It is worth noting that in the current codebase of go-ethereum, the blocking state of the main process is not ended directly by assigning a value to the stop channel, but a more concise and rude way is used: call the close() function directly Close the Channel. We can find the related implementation in node.doClose(). close() is a native function of go language, used when closing Channel.

Ethereum Backend

We can find the definition of the Ethereum structure in eth/backend.go. The member variables and receiving methods contained in this structure implement all the functions and data structures required by an Ethereum full node. We can see in the following code definition that the Ethereum structure contains several core data structures such as TxPool, Blockchain, consensus.Engine, and miner as member variables.

Nodes start and stop Mining by calling Ethereum.StartMining() and Ethereum.StopMining(). Setting the profit account of Mining is achieved by calling Ethereum.SetEtherbase()
Here we pay extra attention to the member variable handler. The definition of handler is in eth/handler.go.
From a macro point of view, the main workflow of a node needs to: 1. Obtain/synchronize Transaction and Block data from the network 2. Add the Block obtained from the network to the Blockchain. The handler is responsible for providing the function of synchronizing blocks and transaction data, for example, downloader.Downloader is responsible for synchronizing Block from the network, and fetcher.TxFetcher is responsible for synchronizing transactions from the network

Its definition is located in internal/ethapi/backend.go. Since there are many functions in this interface, we have selected some of the key functions as below for a glimpse of its functionality. backend is created by calling backend, eth := utils.RegisterEthService(stack, &cfg.Eth). Inside, it calls eth.New(stack, cfg) to create backend instance. During backend initiating, it opens database (chainDb, err := stack.OpenDatabaseWithFreezer("chaindata", config.DatabaseCache, config.DatabaseHandles, config.DatabaseFreezer, "eth/db/chaindata/", false)). Further, it creates consensus engine, engine := ethconfig.CreateConsensusEngine(stack, &ethashConfig, cliqueConfig, config.Miner.Notify, config.Miner.Noverify, chainDb). goerli testnet use POA consensus (clique).

If readers want to customize some new RPC APIs, they can define functions in the /internal/ethapi.Backend interface and add specific implementations to EthAPIBackend

\n

startNode

The last key function, startNode(), is to officially start an Ethereum execution layer node. It starts the Stack instance (Node) by calling the utils.StartNode() function which triggers the Node.Start() function. In the Node.Start() function, it traverses the backend instances registered in Node.lifecycles and starts them. In addition, in the startNode() function, the unlockAccounts() function is still called, and the unlocked wallet is registered in the stack, and the RPClient module that interacts with local Geth is created through the stack.Attach() function

\n

At the end of the geth() function, the function executes stack.Wait(), so that the main thread enters the blocking state, and the services of other functional modules are distributed to other sub-coroutines for maintenance

\n

Node

As we mentioned earlier, the Node type belongs to the top-level instance in the life cycle of geth, and it is responsible for being the administrator of the high-level abstract module communicating with the outside world, such as managing rpc server, http server, Web Socket, and P2P Server external interface . At the same time, Node maintains the back-end instances and services (lifecycles []Lifecycle) required for node operation, such as the Ethereum type we mentioned above that is responsible for the specific Service

close node

As mentioned earlier, the main thread of the entire program is blocked because of calling stack.Wait(). We can see that a channel called stop is declared in the Node structure. Since this Channel has not been assigned a value, the main process of the entire geth enters the blocking state, and continues to execute other business coroutines concurrently

\n
1
2
3
4
// Wait blocks until the node is closed.
func (n *Node) Wait() {
 <-n.stop
}
\n

When the Channel n.stop is assigned a value, the geth main function will stop the current blocking state and start to perform a series of corresponding resource release operations.
It is worth noting that in the current codebase of go-ethereum, the blocking state of the main process is not ended directly by assigning a value to the stop channel, but a more concise and rude way is used: call the close() function directly Close the Channel. We can find the related implementation in node.doClose(). close() is a native function of go language, used when closing Channel.

Ethereum Backend

We can find the definition of the Ethereum structure in eth/backend.go. The member variables and receiving methods contained in this structure implement all the functions and data structures required by an Ethereum full node. We can see in the following code definition that the Ethereum structure contains several core data structures such as TxPool, Blockchain, consensus.Engine, and miner as member variables.

Nodes start and stop Mining by calling Ethereum.StartMining() and Ethereum.StopMining(). Setting the profit account of Mining is achieved by calling Ethereum.SetEtherbase()
Here we pay extra attention to the member variable handler. The definition of handler is in eth/handler.go.
From a macro point of view, the main workflow of a node needs to: 1. Obtain/synchronize Transaction and Block data from the network 2. Add the Block obtained from the network to the Blockchain. The handler is responsible for providing the function of synchronizing blocks and transaction data, for example, downloader.Downloader is responsible for synchronizing Block from the network, and fetcher.TxFetcher is responsible for synchronizing transactions from the network

Whilst snapshots do grant us a 10x read performance, EVM execution also writes data, and these writes need to be Merkle proven. The Merkle proof requirement retains the necessity for `O(logN)` disk access on writes. \nProblems it solves\n- **DoS** In 2016, Ethereum sustained its worse DoS attack ever - The [Shanghai Attacks](https://2017.edcon.io/ppt/one/Martin%20Holst%20Swende_The%20%27Shanghai%20%27Attacks_EDCON.pdf) - that lasted about 2-3 months. The attack revolved around bloating Ethereum's state and abusing various underpriced opcodes to grind the network to a halt. After numerous client optimizations and repricing hard forks, the attack was repelled. The root cause still lingers: state access opcodes have a fixed EVM gas cost O(1), but an ever slowly increasing execution cost O(logN). Snapshots on the other hand reduce execution cost of state reads to O(1) - in line with EVM costs - thus solves the read-based DoS issues long term.\n- **Call** Checking a smart contract's state in Ethereum entails a mini EVM execution. Part of that is running bytecode and part of it is reading state slots from disk. snap makes the state access faster.\n- **Sync** There are two major ways you can synchronize an Ethereum node. You can download the blocks and execute all the transactions within; or you can download the blocks, verify the PoWs and download the state associated a recent block. The latter is much faster, but it relies on benefactors serving you a copy of the recent state. With the current Merkle-Patricia state model, these benefactors read 16TB of data off disk to serve a syncing node. Snapshots enable serving nodes to read only **96GB** of data off disk to get a new node joined into the network.\n\ndrawbacks of snapshot\n- A snapshot is a redundant copy of the raw Ethereum state already contained in the leaves of the Merkle Patricia trie. \nuser can disable snapshot via `--snapshot=false`\n\n## snap sync\nWhen Ethereum launched, you could choose from two different ways to synchronize the network: full sync and fast sync。 Full sync operated by downloading the entire chain and executing all transactions; vs. fast sync placed an initial trust in a recent-ish block, and directly downloaded the state associated with it (after which it switched to block execution like full sync). \n- **full sync** minimized trust, choosing to execute all transactions from genesis to head. \n- **fast sync** chose to rely on the security of the PoWs.it assumed that a block with 64 valid PoWs on top would be prohibitively expensive for someone to construct, as such it's ok to download the state associated with `HEAD-64`\n\n### delays of fast sync\n- network latency (download node)\n- io latency (level db random disk access)\n- upload latency (requst with node `hash` to remote servers)\n\nThe core idea of `snap sync` is fairly simple: instead of downloading the trie node-by-node, snap sync downloads the contiguous chunks of useful state data, and reconstructs the Merkle trie locally:\n- Without downloading intermediate Merkle trie nodes, state data can be fetched in large batches, removing the delay caused by network latency.\n- Without downloading Merkle nodes, downstream data drops to half; and without addressing each piece of data individually, upstream data gets insignificant, removing the delay caused by bandwidth.\n- Without requesting randomly keyed data, peers do only a couple contiguous disk reads to serve the responses, removing the delay of disk IO\n\n## offline pruning\nWhen processing a new block, a node takes the current state of the network as input data and mutates it according to the transactions in the block. only state diff is kept. Pushing these new pieces of state data, block-by-block, to the database is a problem. They keep accumulating. In theory we could \"just delete\" state data that's old enough to not run the risk of a reorg. it's exceedingly costly to figure out if a node deep within an old state is still referenced by anything newer or not.\nIf you have snapshots enabled and fully generated, Geth can use those as an acceleration structure to relatively quickly determine which trie nodes should be kept and which should be deleted. Pruning trie nodes based on snapshots does have the drawback that the chain may not progress during pruning. This means, that you need to stop Geth, prune its database and then restart it. To prune your database, please run `geth snapshot prune-state`.\n\n## transaction unindexing\nNode operators always took it for granted that they can look up an arbitrary transaction from the past, given only its hash. To make transactions searchable, we need to - at minimum - map the entire range of transaction hashes to the blocks they are in. It's also important to note that transaction indices are not part of consensus and are not part of the network protocol. They are purely a locally generated acceleration structure.\nGeth v1.10.0 switches on transaction unindexing by default and sets it to 2,350,000 blocks (about 1 year). The transaction unindexer will linger in the background, and every time a new block arrives, it ensures that only transactions from the most recent N blocks are indexed, deleting older ones. user can use `--txlookuplimit` to control the indexing block range\n\n## preimage discarding\nEthereum stores all its data in a Merkle Patricia trie. The values in the leaves are the raw data being stored (e.g. storage slot content, account content), and the path to the leaf is the key at which the data is stored. The keys however are not the account addresses or storage addresses, rather the Keccak256 hashes of those. This helps balance the branch depths of the state tries.\nthe preimage is the actual key related to the hash. The preimages aren't particularly heavy. If you do a full sync from genesis - reexecuting all the transactions - you'll only end up with 5GB extra load. Still, there is no reason to keep that data around for users not using it, as it only increases the load on LevelDB compactions. As such, Geth v1.10.0 disables preimage collection by default, but there's no mechanism to actively delete already stored preimages.\nIf you are using your Geth instance to debug transactions, you can retain the original behavior via `--cache.preimages`. \n\n## ETH/66 protocol\nThe eth/66 protocol is a fairly small change, yet has quite a number of beneficial implications. In short, the protocol introduces request and reply IDs for all bidirectional packets. The goal behind these IDs is to more easily match up responses to requests, specifically, to more easily deliver a response to a subsystem that made the original request.\n\n## chainid enforcement\nGeth v1.10.0 supports reverting to the old behavior and accepting non-EIP155 transactions via --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs. Be advised that this is a temporary mechanism that will be removed long term.\n\n## Database introspection\nEvery now and again we receive an issue report about a corrupted database, with no real way to debug it. Geth v1.10.0 ships a built-in database introspection tool to try and alleviate the situation a bit. It is a very low level accessor to LevelDB, but it allows arbitrary data retrievals, insertions and deletions. We are unsure how useful these will turn out to be, but they at least give a fighting chance to restore a broken node without having to resync.\n\n## Unclean shutdown tracking\nFairly often we receive bug reports that Geth started importing old blocks on startup. This phenomenon is generally caused by the node operator terminating Geth abruptly (power outage, OOM killer, too short shutdown timeout). Since Geth keeps a lot of dirty state in memory - to avoid writing to disk things that get stale a few blocks later - an abrupt shutdown can cause these to not be flushed. With recent state missing on startup, Geth has no choice but to rewind it's local chain to the point where it last saved the progress.\n\nGeth v1.10.0 will start tracking and reporting node crashes. We're hopeful that this will allow operatos to detect that their infra is misconfigured or has issue before those turn into irreversible data loss.\n```\nWARN [03-03|06:36:38.734] Unclean shutdown detected booted=2021-02-03T06:47:28+0000 age=3w6d23h\n```\n\n## references\n- [eth foundation blog]()","source":"_posts/geth/tech_docs/geth.v1.10.0.md","raw":"---\ntitle: geth v1.10.0 summary\ndate: 2023-03-15 16:29:43\ntags: [geth]\n---\n\n## introduction\ngeth v1.10.0 has been [released](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.10.0) on Mar 4 2021. this is a late summary of v1.10.0.\n\n## snapshots\nthe snapshot feature reduces the cost of accessing an account from `O(logN)` to `O(1)`.

introduction

geth v1.10.0 has been released on Mar 4 2021. this is a late summary of v1.10.0.

\n

snapshots

the snapshot feature reduces the cost of accessing an account from O(logN) to O(1). Whilst snapshots do grant us a 10x read performance, EVM execution also writes data, and these writes need to be Merkle proven. The Merkle proof requirement retains the necessity for O(logN) disk access on writes.
Problems it solves

\n
    \n
  • DoS In 2016, Ethereum sustained its worse DoS attack ever - The Shanghai Attacks - that lasted about 2-3 months. The attack revolved around bloating Ethereum’s state and abusing various underpriced opcodes to grind the network to a halt. After numerous client optimizations and repricing hard forks, the attack was repelled. The root cause still lingers: state access opcodes have a fixed EVM gas cost O(1), but an ever slowly increasing execution cost O(logN). Snapshots on the other hand reduce execution cost of state reads to O(1) - in line with EVM costs - thus solves the read-based DoS issues long term.
    • \n
  • Call Checking a smart contract’s state in Ethereum entails a mini EVM execution. Part of that is running bytecode and part of it is reading state slots from disk. snap makes the state access faster.
    • \n
  • Sync There are two major ways you can synchronize an Ethereum node. You can download the blocks and execute all the transactions within; or you can download the blocks, verify the PoWs and download the state associated a recent block. The latter is much faster, but it relies on benefactors serving you a copy of the recent state. With the current Merkle-Patricia state model, these benefactors read 16TB of data off disk to serve a syncing node. Snapshots enable serving nodes to read only 96GB of data off disk to get a new node joined into the network.
    • \n
\n

drawbacks of snapshot

\n
    \n
  • A snapshot is a redundant copy of the raw Ethereum state already contained in the leaves of the Merkle Patricia trie.
    user can disable snapshot via --snapshot=false
    • \n
\n

snap sync

When Ethereum launched, you could choose from two different ways to synchronize the network: full sync and fast sync。 Full sync operated by downloading the entire chain and executing all transactions; vs. fast sync placed an initial trust in a recent-ish block, and directly downloaded the state associated with it (after which it switched to block execution like full sync).

\n
    \n
  • full sync minimized trust, choosing to execute all transactions from genesis to head.
    • \n
  • fast sync chose to rely on the security of the PoWs.it assumed that a block with 64 valid PoWs on top would be prohibitively expensive for someone to construct, as such it’s ok to download the state associated with HEAD-64
    • \n
\n

delays of fast sync

    \n
  • network latency (download node)
    • \n
  • io latency (level db random disk access)
    • \n
  • upload latency (requst with node hash to remote servers)
    • \n
\n

The core idea of snap sync is fairly simple: instead of downloading the trie node-by-node, snap sync downloads the contiguous chunks of useful state data, and reconstructs the Merkle trie locally:

\n
    \n
  • Without downloading intermediate Merkle trie nodes, state data can be fetched in large batches, removing the delay caused by network latency.
    • \n
  • Without downloading Merkle nodes, downstream data drops to half; and without addressing each piece of data individually, upstream data gets insignificant, removing the delay caused by bandwidth.
    • \n
  • Without requesting randomly keyed data, peers do only a couple contiguous disk reads to serve the responses, removing the delay of disk IO
    • \n
\n

offline pruning

When processing a new block, a node takes the current state of the network as input data and mutates it according to the transactions in the block. only state diff is kept. Pushing these new pieces of state data, block-by-block, to the database is a problem. They keep accumulating. In theory we could “just delete” state data that’s old enough to not run the risk of a reorg. it’s exceedingly costly to figure out if a node deep within an old state is still referenced by anything newer or not.
If you have snapshots enabled and fully generated, Geth can use those as an acceleration structure to relatively quickly determine which trie nodes should be kept and which should be deleted. Pruning trie nodes based on snapshots does have the drawback that the chain may not progress during pruning. This means, that you need to stop Geth, prune its database and then restart it. To prune your database, please run geth snapshot prune-state.

\n

transaction unindexing

Node operators always took it for granted that they can look up an arbitrary transaction from the past, given only its hash. To make transactions searchable, we need to - at minimum - map the entire range of transaction hashes to the blocks they are in. It’s also important to note that transaction indices are not part of consensus and are not part of the network protocol. They are purely a locally generated acceleration structure.
Geth v1.10.0 switches on transaction unindexing by default and sets it to 2,350,000 blocks (about 1 year). The transaction unindexer will linger in the background, and every time a new block arrives, it ensures that only transactions from the most recent N blocks are indexed, deleting older ones. user can use --txlookuplimit to control the indexing block range

\n

preimage discarding

Ethereum stores all its data in a Merkle Patricia trie. The values in the leaves are the raw data being stored (e.g. storage slot content, account content), and the path to the leaf is the key at which the data is stored. The keys however are not the account addresses or storage addresses, rather the Keccak256 hashes of those. This helps balance the branch depths of the state tries.
the preimage is the actual key related to the hash. The preimages aren’t particularly heavy. If you do a full sync from genesis - reexecuting all the transactions - you’ll only end up with 5GB extra load. Still, there is no reason to keep that data around for users not using it, as it only increases the load on LevelDB compactions. As such, Geth v1.10.0 disables preimage collection by default, but there’s no mechanism to actively delete already stored preimages.
If you are using your Geth instance to debug transactions, you can retain the original behavior via --cache.preimages.

\n

ETH/66 protocol

The eth/66 protocol is a fairly small change, yet has quite a number of beneficial implications. In short, the protocol introduces request and reply IDs for all bidirectional packets. The goal behind these IDs is to more easily match up responses to requests, specifically, to more easily deliver a response to a subsystem that made the original request.

\n

chainid enforcement

Geth v1.10.0 supports reverting to the old behavior and accepting non-EIP155 transactions via –rpc.allow-unprotected-txs. Be advised that this is a temporary mechanism that will be removed long term.

\n

Database introspection

Every now and again we receive an issue report about a corrupted database, with no real way to debug it. Geth v1.10.0 ships a built-in database introspection tool to try and alleviate the situation a bit. It is a very low level accessor to LevelDB, but it allows arbitrary data retrievals, insertions and deletions. We are unsure how useful these will turn out to be, but they at least give a fighting chance to restore a broken node without having to resync.

\n

Unclean shutdown tracking

Fairly often we receive bug reports that Geth started importing old blocks on startup. This phenomenon is generally caused by the node operator terminating Geth abruptly (power outage, OOM killer, too short shutdown timeout). Since Geth keeps a lot of dirty state in memory - to avoid writing to disk things that get stale a few blocks later - an abrupt shutdown can cause these to not be flushed. With recent state missing on startup, Geth has no choice but to rewind it’s local chain to the point where it last saved the progress.

\n

Geth v1.10.0 will start tracking and reporting node crashes. We’re hopeful that this will allow operatos to detect that their infra is misconfigured or has issue before those turn into irreversible data loss.

Both aim to provide efficient and non-blocking synchronization in concurrent environments.\n- **lock-free** A lock-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for at least one thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a lock-free design, threads can independently perform their operations without being blocked by other threads. If one thread gets delayed or suspended, other threads can continue to make progress. Lock-free algorithms typically use low-level synchronization primitives such as atomic operations to ensure progress and prevent data races.\n- **wait-free** A wait-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for every thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a wait-free design, every thread executing an operation completes its operation within a finite number of steps, without being delayed by other threads. Wait-free algorithms are more stringent in their requirements compared to lock-free algorithms and often require more complex synchronization mechanisms.\n\nIt's important to note that both lock-free and wait-free designs aim to avoid traditional locks or blocking synchronization mechanisms (such as mutexes or condition variables) that can lead to contention and thread blocking. Instead, they rely on techniques like atomic operations, compare-and-swap (CAS), or memory fences to ensure progress and prevent data races in concurrent execution.\n\n## [atomic](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/index.html)\nRust atomics currently follow the same rules as [C++20 atomics](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic), specifically `atomic_ref`. Basically, creating a shared reference to one of the Rust atomic types corresponds to creating an `atomic_ref` in C++; the atomic_ref is destroyed when the lifetime of the shared reference ends. \nEach method takes an `Ordering` which represents the strength of the memory barrier for that operation. These orderings are the same as the [C++20 atomic orderings](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/memory_order). For more information see the [nomicon](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/nomicon/atomics.html)\nAtomic variables are safe to share between threads (they implement Sync) but they do not themselves provide the mechanism for sharing and follow the threading model of Rust. The most common way to share an atomic variable is to put it into an Arc (an atomically-reference-counted shared pointer).\n\n### Compiler Reordering\nCompilers may change the actual order of events, or make events never occur! If we write something like\n```rust\nx = 1;\ny = 3;\nx = 2;\n```\nThe compiler may conclude that it would be best if your program did:\n```rust\nx = 2;\ny = 3;\n```\nThis has inverted the order of events and completely eliminated one event. But if our program is multi-threaded, we may have been relying on x to actually be assigned to 1 before y was assigned. \n\n### Hardware Reordering\nhere is indeed a global shared memory space somewhere in your hardware, but from the perspective of each CPU core it is so very far away and so very slow. Each CPU would rather work with its local cache of the data and only go through all the anguish of talking to shared memory only when it doesn't actually have that memory in cache. The end result is that the hardware doesn't guarantee that events that occur in some order on one thread, occur in the same order on another thread. To guarantee this, we must issue special instructions to the CPU telling it to be a bit less smart.\nFor instance, say we convince the compiler to emit this logic:\n```\ninitial state: x = 0, y = 1\n\nTHREAD 1 THREAD2\ny = 3; if x == 1 {\nx = 1; y *= 2;\n }\n```\nIdeally this program has 2 possible final states:\n- y = 3: (thread 2 did the check before thread 1 completed)\n- y = 6: (thread 2 did the check after thread 1 completed)\nHowever there's a third potential state that the hardware enables:\n- y = 2: (thread 2 saw x = 1, but not y = 3, and then overwrote y = 3)\nIt's worth noting that different kinds of CPU provide different guarantees. It is common to separate hardware into two categories: strongly-ordered and weakly-ordered. Most notably x86/64 provides strong ordering guarantees, while ARM provides weak ordering guarantees. \n\n### Data Accesses\nAtomic accesses are how we tell the hardware and compiler that our program is multi-threaded. Each atomic access can be marked with an ordering that specifies what kind of relationship it establishes with other accesses. For the compiler, this largely revolves around re-ordering of instructions. For the hardware, this largely revolves around how writes are propagated to other threads. The set of orderings Rust exposes are:\n- Sequentially Consistent (SeqCst)\n- Release\n- Acquire\n- Relaxed\n\n### Sequentially Consistent\nSequentially Consistent is the most powerful of all, implying the restrictions of all other orderings. Intuitively, a sequentially consistent operation cannot be reordered: all accesses on one thread that happen before and after a SeqCst access stay before and after it.\n\n### Acquire-Release\nAcquire and Release are largely intended to be paired. they're perfectly suited for acquiring and releasing locks. \nIntuitively, an acquire access ensures that every access after it stays after it. However operations that occur before an acquire are free to be reordered to occur after it. Similarly, a release access ensures that every access before it stays before it. However operations that occur after a release are free to be reordered to occur before it.\n```rust\nuse std::sync::Arc;\nuse std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool, Ordering};\nuse std::thread;\n\nfn main() {\n let lock = Arc::new(AtomicBool::new(false)); // value answers \"am I locked?\"\n\n // ... distribute lock to threads somehow ...\n\n // Try to acquire the lock by setting it to true\n while lock.compare_and_swap(false, true, Ordering::Acquire) { }\n // broke out of the loop, so we successfully acquired the lock!\n\n // ... scary data accesses ...\n\n // ok we're done, release the lock\n lock.store(false, Ordering::Release);\n}\n```\n### Relaxed\nRelaxed accesses are the absolute weakest. They can be freely re-ordered and provide no happens-before relationship. Still, relaxed operations are still atomic. That is, they don't count as data accesses and any read-modify-write operations done to them occur atomically. For instance, incrementing a counter can be safely done by multiple threads using a relaxed `fetch_add` if you're not using the counter to synchronize any other accesses.\n\n## an example (spinlock)\n```rust\nuse std::sync::Arc;\nuse std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering};\nuse std::{hint, thread};\n\nfn main() {\n let spinlock = Arc::new(AtomicUsize::new(1));\n\n let spinlock_clone = Arc::clone(&spinlock);\n let thread = thread::spawn(move|| {\n spinlock_clone.store(0, Ordering::SeqCst);\n });\n\n // Wait for the other thread to release the lock\n while spinlock.load(Ordering::SeqCst) != 0 {\n hint::spin_loop();\n }\n\n if let Err(panic) = thread.join() {\n println!(\"Thread had an error: {panic:?}\");\n }\n}\n```\n\n## usual structs\n1. [AtomicBool](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicBool.html)\n### methods\n- `fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut bool`\n- `fn into_inner(self) -> bool`\n- `fn load(&self, order: Ordering) -> bool`\n- `fn store(&self, val: bool, order: Ordering)`\n- `fn compare_exchange(&self, current: bool,new: bool,success: Ordering,failure: Ordering) -> Result`\nStores a value into the bool if the current value is the same as the current value.\ncompare_exchange takes two Ordering arguments to describe the memory ordering of this operation. success describes the required ordering for the read-modify-write operation that takes place if the comparison with current succeeds. failure describes the required ordering for the load operation that takes place when the comparison fails. \n- `fn fetch_and(&self, val: bool, order: Ordering) -> bool`\nLogical “and” with a boolean value.\nPerforms a logical “and” operation on the current value and the argument val, and sets the new value to the result.\n- `const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut bool`\nReturns a mutable pointer to the underlying bool.\nDoing non-atomic reads and writes on the resulting integer can be a data race. This method is mostly useful for FFI, where the function signature may use *mut bool instead of &AtomicBool.\n\n2. [AtomicUsize](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicUsize.html)\n2. [AtomicPtr](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicPtr.html)\nA raw pointer type which can be safely shared between threads.\nThis type has the same in-memory representation as a *mut T\n\n\n## Higher-level synchronization objects\nMost of the low-level synchronization primitives are quite error-prone and inconvenient to use, which is why the standard library also exposes some higher-level synchronization objects.\n- **Arc**: Atomically Reference-Counted pointer, which can be used in multithreaded environments to prolong the lifetime of some data until all the threads have finished using it.\n- **Barrier**: Ensures multiple threads will wait for each other to reach a point in the program, before continuing execution all together.\n- **Condvar**: Condition Variable, providing the ability to block a thread while waiting for an event to occur.\n- **mpsc**: Multi-producer, single-consumer queues, used for message-based communication. Can provide a lightweight inter-thread synchronisation mechanism, at the cost of some extra memory.\n- **Mutex**: Mutual Exclusion mechanism, which ensures that at most one thread at a time is able to access some data.\n- **Once**: Used for a thread-safe, one-time global initialization routine\n- **OnceLock**: Used for thread-safe, one-time initialization of a global variable.\n- **RwLock**: Provides a mutual exclusion mechanism which allows multiple readers at the same time, while allowing only one writer at a time. In some cases, this can be more efficient than a mutex.\n\n## mpsc\nThis module provides message-based communication over channels, concretely defined among three types:\n- Sender\n- SyncSender\n- Receiver","source":"_posts/rust/rust_std/rust-std-sync.md","raw":"---\ntitle: rust std sync\ndate: 2023-06-08 22:04:38\ntags: [rust-std]\n---\n\n## [lock free & wait free](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm)\n\"Lock-free\" and \"wait-free\" are two different approaches to designing concurrent algorithms and data structures.

lock free & wait free

“Lock-free” and “wait-free” are two different approaches to designing concurrent algorithms and data structures. Both aim to provide efficient and non-blocking synchronization in concurrent environments.

\n
    \n
  • lock-free A lock-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for at least one thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a lock-free design, threads can independently perform their operations without being blocked by other threads. If one thread gets delayed or suspended, other threads can continue to make progress. Lock-free algorithms typically use low-level synchronization primitives such as atomic operations to ensure progress and prevent data races.
    • \n
  • wait-free A wait-free algorithm or data structure guarantees progress for every thread, regardless of the behavior or state of other threads. In a wait-free design, every thread executing an operation completes its operation within a finite number of steps, without being delayed by other threads. Wait-free algorithms are more stringent in their requirements compared to lock-free algorithms and often require more complex synchronization mechanisms.
    • \n
\n

It’s important to note that both lock-free and wait-free designs aim to avoid traditional locks or blocking synchronization mechanisms (such as mutexes or condition variables) that can lead to contention and thread blocking. Instead, they rely on techniques like atomic operations, compare-and-swap (CAS), or memory fences to ensure progress and prevent data races in concurrent execution.

\n

atomic

Rust atomics currently follow the same rules as C++20 atomics, specifically atomic_ref. Basically, creating a shared reference to one of the Rust atomic types corresponds to creating an atomic_ref in C++; the atomic_ref is destroyed when the lifetime of the shared reference ends.
Each method takes an Ordering which represents the strength of the memory barrier for that operation. These orderings are the same as the C++20 atomic orderings. For more information see the nomicon
Atomic variables are safe to share between threads (they implement Sync) but they do not themselves provide the mechanism for sharing and follow the threading model of Rust. The most common way to share an atomic variable is to put it into an Arc (an atomically-reference-counted shared pointer).

\n

Compiler Reordering

Compilers may change the actual order of events, or make events never occur! If we write something like

\n
1
2
3
x = 1;
y = 3;
x = 2;
\n

The compiler may conclude that it would be best if your program did:

\n
1
2
x = 2;
y = 3;
\n

This has inverted the order of events and completely eliminated one event. But if our program is multi-threaded, we may have been relying on x to actually be assigned to 1 before y was assigned.

\n

Hardware Reordering

here is indeed a global shared memory space somewhere in your hardware, but from the perspective of each CPU core it is so very far away and so very slow. Each CPU would rather work with its local cache of the data and only go through all the anguish of talking to shared memory only when it doesn’t actually have that memory in cache. The end result is that the hardware doesn’t guarantee that events that occur in some order on one thread, occur in the same order on another thread. To guarantee this, we must issue special instructions to the CPU telling it to be a bit less smart.
For instance, say we convince the compiler to emit this logic:

\n
1
2
3
4
5
6
initial state: x = 0, y = 1

THREAD 1        THREAD2
y = 3;          if x == 1 {
x = 1;              y *= 2;
                }
\n

Ideally this program has 2 possible final states:

\n
    \n
  • y = 3: (thread 2 did the check before thread 1 completed)
    • \n
  • y = 6: (thread 2 did the check after thread 1 completed)
    However there’s a third potential state that the hardware enables:
    • \n
  • y = 2: (thread 2 saw x = 1, but not y = 3, and then overwrote y = 3)
    It’s worth noting that different kinds of CPU provide different guarantees. It is common to separate hardware into two categories: strongly-ordered and weakly-ordered. Most notably x86/64 provides strong ordering guarantees, while ARM provides weak ordering guarantees.

Sequentially Consistent

Sequentially Consistent is the most powerful of all, implying the restrictions of all other orderings. Intuitively, a sequentially consistent operation cannot be reordered: all accesses on one thread that happen before and after a SeqCst access stay before and after it.

\n

Acquire-Release

Acquire and Release are largely intended to be paired. they’re perfectly suited for acquiring and releasing locks.
Intuitively, an acquire access ensures that every access after it stays after it. However operations that occur before an acquire are free to be reordered to occur after it. Similarly, a release access ensures that every access before it stays before it. However operations that occur after a release are free to be reordered to occur before it.

Most of the instructions of these four sets of instruction sets are the same, but as the version is updated, the new version supports more instruction sets than the old version.\n\n# evm\nThe `EVM` object is the most important object exported by the evm module, which represents an Ethereum virtual machine\n\n## creating evm\nEvery time a transaction is processed, an EVM is created to execute the transaction. This is reflected in the function `ApplyTransaction` (core/state_processor.go)\n\n## creating contract\nIf the `to` of the transaction is empty, it means that this transaction is to create a contract, so call `EVM.Create` to perform related functions\n- CREATE\n```\ncontractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress(caller.Address(), evm.StateDB.GetNonce(caller.Address()))\n```\n- CREATE2\n```\ncodeAndHash := &codeAndHash{code: code}\n\tcontractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress2(caller.Address(), salt.Bytes32(), codeAndHash.Hash().Bytes())\n```\nduring create contract, an object `Contract` is created. A Contract object contains and maintains the necessary information during the execution of the contract, such as the contract creator, the address of the contract itself, the remaining gas of the contract, the contract code and the `jumpdests` record of the code.\n\nthen, it invokes below method to create contract\n```\nret, err := evm.interpreter.Run(contract, nil, false)\nevm.StateDB.SetCode(address, ret)\n```\nIf the operation is successful and the contract code does not exceed the length limit, call StateDB.SetCode to store the contract code in the contract account of the Ethereum state database. Of course, the storage needs to consume a certain amount of gas.\n\nYou may wonder why the stored contract code is the return code after the contract runs, not the data in the original transaction (ie Transaction.data.Payload). This is because when the contract source code is compiled into binary data, in addition to the original code of the contract, the compiler also inserts some codes to perform related functions. For creation, the compiler inserts code that executes the contract's \"constructor\" (that is, the contract object's constructor method). Therefore, when the binary compiled by the compiler is submitted to the Ethereum node to create a contract, the EVM executes this binary code, in fact, it mainly executes the constructor method of the contract, and then returns other codes of the contract, so there is a `ret` variable here Stored in the state database as the actual code of the contract\n\n## call contract\nThe EVM object has three methods to implement the call of the contract, they are:\n\n- EVM. Call\n- EVM. CallCode\n- EVM. DelegateCall\n- EVM.StaticCall\nThe basic contract call function implemented by EVM.Call is nothing special. The following three calling methods are the differences compared with EVM.Call. So here we only introduce the particularity of the last three calling methods\n\n### EVM.CallCode & EVM.DelegateCall\nThe existence of EVM.CallCode and EVM.DelegateCall is to realize the characteristics of the \"library\" of the contract. If the code written by solidity is to be called as a library, it must be deployed on the blockchain to obtain a fixed address like a normal contract. , other contracts can call the method provided by this \"library contract\". But the contract also involves some unique attributes, such as the caller of the contract, contract address, the amount of ether it owns, etc. If we directly call the code of the \"library contract\", these properties must be the properties of the \"library contract\" itself, but this may not be what we want\n\nas an example\n```\nA -> contractB - delegateCall -> libC\n```\n`EVM.DelegateCall` sets the caller (msg.sender) of the \"library contract\" (libC) to A, rather than contractB; sets the address of the \"library contract\" (libC) to contractB. \n`EVM.CallCode` is similar to `EVM.DelegateCall`. the only difference is that `EVM.CallCode` only change the address of the \"library contract\" (libC) to contractB, without chanding the caller to A.\n`EVM.StaticCall` is similar to `EVM.Call`, the only difference is that EVM.StaticCall does not allow execution of instructions that modify permanently stored data\n\nduring contract call, it first check whether it is precompiled contract. some precompiled contracts are\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{1}): &ecrecover{},\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{2}): &sha256hash{},\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{3}): &ripemd160hash{},\n- common.BytesToAddress([]byte{4}): &dataCopy{},\n\n# EVMInterpreter\nThe interpreter object EVMInterpreter is used to interpret and execute specified contract instructions. However, note that the actual instruction interpretation and execution is not really completed by the interpreter object, but by the operation object JumpTable. The interpreter object is only responsible for parsing instruction codes one by one, and then obtains the corresponding operation object, and check objects such as the stack before calling the operation.execute function that actually executre the instruction. It can also be said that the interpreter object is only responsible for the scheduling of interpretation.\n\n## execution layout\n![layout](/images/evm.layout.png)\n\n## intrinsic gas\nThe intrinsic gas for a transaction is the amount of gas that the transaction uses before any code runs. It is a constant transaction fee (currently 21000 gas) plus a fee for every byte of data supplied with the transaction (4 gas for a zero byte, 68 gas for non-zeros). These constants are all currently defined for geth in params/protocol_params.go.\n\n## gas cost\nthe gas cost of each instruction is stored in `JumpTable.operation.dynamicGas` or `JumpTable.operation.constantGas`. constantGas means the operation gas cost is a fixed constant. dynamicGas is a function which will return gas during runtime.\n\nIn fact, not only the interpretation and execution of the instruction itself consumes gas, but also consumes gas when using memory storage and StateDB permanent storage. For most instructions, the latter two are not used (memory & storage), but for some instructions (such as CODECOPY or SSTORE), their gasCost function will take memory and StateDB usage into account.\n\na method `memoryGasCost`is used to calculate the gas consumption of memory usage. only when the required space size exceeds the current space size, the excess part needs to consume gas.\n\n# JumpTable\njumptable is 256 sized array of `operation`\n\n## jump instruction\nAmong the instructions of the contract, there are two jump instructions (excluding CALL): JUMP and JUMPI. Their special feature is that the first instruction of the target address after the jump must be JUMPDEST\n```\nfunc opJump(pc *uint64, interpreter *EVMInterpreter, contract *Contract, memory *Memory, stack *Stack) ([]byte, error) {\n pos := stack.pop()\n if !contract.validJumpdest(pos) {\n nop := contract.GetOp(pos.Uint64())\n return nil, fmt.Errorf(\"invalid jump destination (%v) %v\", nop, pos)\n }\n *pc = pos.Uint64()\n\n interpreter.intPool.put(pos)\n return nil, nil\n}\n```\nA function interprets and executes the JUMP instruction. The code first fetches a value from the stack as the jump destination. This value is actually an offset relative to field 0 of the contract code. Then the code will call Contract.validJumpdest to determine whether the first instruction of this destination is JUMPDEST, if it is not, an error will occur.\n\nTo judge whether the first instruction of the destination is JUMPDEST, two points must be guaranteed: first, its value is the value of the opcode of the JUMPDEST instruction; second, it is an instruction, not ordinary data.\n\nLet's introduce how Contract.validJumpdest works. In addition to comparing opcode (this is very simple), Contract will also create a bit vector object (ie bitvec, bit vector). This object will analyze the contract instructions from the beginning to the end. If the byte at a certain offset of the contract belongs to ordinary data, the \"bit\" corresponding to the offset value in bitvec is set to 1, and if it is an instruction, it is set to 0. In Contract.validJumpdest, it is judged whether this is a normal instruction by checking whether the \"bit\" of the offset value of the jump destination in this bit vector object is 0\n\n# references\n- [yangzhe_blog](https://yangzhe.me/2019/08/12/ethereum-evm/#%E8%A7%A3%E9%87%8A%E5%99%A8%E5%AF%B9%E8%B1%A1evminterpreter)\n- [op code manual](https://www.evm.codes/?fork=shanghai)","source":"_posts/geth/code_analysis/geth.evm.md","raw":"---\ntitle: geth evm source analysis\ndate: 2023-01-08 16:24:54\ntags: [blockchain,geth]\n---\n\n# overall\nthe code is under path `core/vm`\noverview of the whole evm module ![evm](/images/evm.drawio.google.png)\n\nthe core is `EVM` struct (in evm.go), with main function in creating or call contract. a new `EVM` object is created every time when processing a transaction. inside the EVM struct, the main items are `Interpreter`, and `StateDB` (for state persistence). `Interpreter` loops through contract call instructions.Before each instruction is executed, some checks are performed to ensure sufficient gas and stack space. actual instruction execution code is recorded in `JumpTable` (256 sized array of `operation`)\n\ndepending on the version of Ethereum, JumpTable may point to four different instruction sets: constantinopleInstructionSet, byzantiumInstructionSet, homesteadInstructionSet, frontierInstructionSet.

the core is EVM struct (in evm.go), with main function in creating or call contract. a new EVM object is created every time when processing a transaction. inside the EVM struct, the main items are Interpreter, and StateDB (for state persistence). Interpreter loops through contract call instructions.Before each instruction is executed, some checks are performed to ensure sufficient gas and stack space. actual instruction execution code is recorded in JumpTable (256 sized array of operation)

\n

depending on the version of Ethereum, JumpTable may point to four different instruction sets: constantinopleInstructionSet, byzantiumInstructionSet, homesteadInstructionSet, frontierInstructionSet. Most of the instructions of these four sets of instruction sets are the same, but as the version is updated, the new version supports more instruction sets than the old version.

\n

evm

The EVM object is the most important object exported by the evm module, which represents an Ethereum virtual machine

\n

creating evm

Every time a transaction is processed, an EVM is created to execute the transaction. This is reflected in the function ApplyTransaction (core/state_processor.go)

\n

creating contract

If the to of the transaction is empty, it means that this transaction is to create a contract, so call EVM.Create to perform related functions

\n
    \n
  • CREATE
    1
    contractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress(caller.Address(), evm.StateDB.GetNonce(caller.Address()))
    • \n
  • CREATE2
    1
    2
    codeAndHash := &codeAndHash{code: code}
    \tcontractAddr = crypto.CreateAddress2(caller.Address(), salt.Bytes32(), codeAndHash.Hash().Bytes())
    \nduring create contract, an object Contract is created. A Contract object contains and maintains the necessary information during the execution of the contract, such as the contract creator, the address of the contract itself, the remaining gas of the contract, the contract code and the jumpdests record of the code.
    • \n
\n

then, it invokes below method to create contract

\n
1
2
ret, err := evm.interpreter.Run(contract, nil, false)
evm.StateDB.SetCode(address, ret)
\n

If the operation is successful and the contract code does not exceed the length limit, call StateDB.SetCode to store the contract code in the contract account of the Ethereum state database. Of course, the storage needs to consume a certain amount of gas.

\n

You may wonder why the stored contract code is the return code after the contract runs, not the data in the original transaction (ie Transaction.data.Payload). This is because when the contract source code is compiled into binary data, in addition to the original code of the contract, the compiler also inserts some codes to perform related functions. For creation, the compiler inserts code that executes the contract’s “constructor” (that is, the contract object’s constructor method). Therefore, when the binary compiled by the compiler is submitted to the Ethereum node to create a contract, the EVM executes this binary code, in fact, it mainly executes the constructor method of the contract, and then returns other codes of the contract, so there is a ret variable here Stored in the state database as the actual code of the contract

\n

call contract

The EVM object has three methods to implement the call of the contract, they are:

\n
    \n
  • EVM. Call
    • \n
  • EVM. CallCode
    • \n
  • EVM. DelegateCall
    • \n
  • EVM.StaticCall
    The basic contract call function implemented by EVM.Call is nothing special. The following three calling methods are the differences compared with EVM.Call. So here we only introduce the particularity of the last three calling methods
    • \n
\n

EVM.CallCode & EVM.DelegateCall

The existence of EVM.CallCode and EVM.DelegateCall is to realize the characteristics of the “library” of the contract. If the code written by solidity is to be called as a library, it must be deployed on the blockchain to obtain a fixed address like a normal contract. , other contracts can call the method provided by this “library contract”. But the contract also involves some unique attributes, such as the caller of the contract, contract address, the amount of ether it owns, etc. If we directly call the code of the “library contract”, these properties must be the properties of the “library contract” itself, but this may not be what we want

\n

as an example

\n
1
A -> contractB - delegateCall -> libC
\n

EVM.DelegateCall sets the caller (msg.sender) of the “library contract” (libC) to A, rather than contractB; sets the address of the “library contract” (libC) to contractB.
EVM.CallCode is similar to EVM.DelegateCall. the only difference is that EVM.CallCode only change the address of the “library contract” (libC) to contractB, without chanding the caller to A.
EVM.StaticCall is similar to EVM.Call, the only difference is that EVM.StaticCall does not allow execution of instructions that modify permanently stored data

\n

during contract call, it first check whether it is precompiled contract. some precompiled contracts are

\n
    \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{1}): &ecrecover{},
    • \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{2}): &sha256hash{},
    • \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{3}): &ripemd160hash{},
    • \n
  • common.BytesToAddress([]byte{4}): &dataCopy{},
    • \n
\n

EVMInterpreter

The interpreter object EVMInterpreter is used to interpret and execute specified contract instructions. However, note that the actual instruction interpretation and execution is not really completed by the interpreter object, but by the operation object JumpTable. The interpreter object is only responsible for parsing instruction codes one by one, and then obtains the corresponding operation object, and check objects such as the stack before calling the operation.execute function that actually executre the instruction. It can also be said that the interpreter object is only responsible for the scheduling of interpretation.

\n

execution layout

\"layout\"

\n

intrinsic gas

The intrinsic gas for a transaction is the amount of gas that the transaction uses before any code runs. It is a constant transaction fee (currently 21000 gas) plus a fee for every byte of data supplied with the transaction (4 gas for a zero byte, 68 gas for non-zeros). These constants are all currently defined for geth in params/protocol_params.go.

\n

gas cost

the gas cost of each instruction is stored in JumpTable.operation.dynamicGas or JumpTable.operation.constantGas. constantGas means the operation gas cost is a fixed constant. dynamicGas is a function which will return gas during runtime.

\n

In fact, not only the interpretation and execution of the instruction itself consumes gas, but also consumes gas when using memory storage and StateDB permanent storage. For most instructions, the latter two are not used (memory & storage), but for some instructions (such as CODECOPY or SSTORE), their gasCost function will take memory and StateDB usage into account.

\n

a method memoryGasCostis used to calculate the gas consumption of memory usage. only when the required space size exceeds the current space size, the excess part needs to consume gas.

\n

JumpTable

jumptable is 256 sized array of operation

\n

jump instruction

Among the instructions of the contract, there are two jump instructions (excluding CALL): JUMP and JUMPI. Their special feature is that the first instruction of the target address after the jump must be JUMPDEST

\n

func opJump(pc *uint64, interpreter *EVMInterpreter, contract *Contract, memory *Memory, stack *Stack) ([]byte, error) {
    pos := stack.pop()
    if !contract.validJumpdest(pos) {
        nop := contract.GetOp(pos.Uint64())
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid jump destination (%v) %v", nop, pos)
    }
    *pc = pos.Uint64()

    interpreter.intPool.put(pos)
    return nil, nil
}
\n

A function interprets and executes the JUMP instruction. The code first fetches a value from the stack as the jump destination. This value is actually an offset relative to field 0 of the contract code. Then the code will call Contract.validJumpdest to determine whether the first instruction of this destination is JUMPDEST, if it is not, an error will occur.

\n

To judge whether the first instruction of the destination is JUMPDEST, two points must be guaranteed: first, its value is the value of the opcode of the JUMPDEST instruction; second, it is an instruction, not ordinary data.

\n

Let’s introduce how Contract.validJumpdest works. In addition to comparing opcode (this is very simple), Contract will also create a bit vector object (ie bitvec, bit vector). This object will analyze the contract instructions from the beginning to the end. If the byte at a certain offset of the contract belongs to ordinary data, the “bit” corresponding to the offset value in bitvec is set to 1, and if it is an instruction, it is set to 0. In Contract.validJumpdest, it is judged whether this is a normal instruction by checking whether the “bit” of the offset value of the jump destination in this bit vector object is 0

The FibonacciSq sequence is defined by the recurrence relation\n\\\\[ a_{n+2} = a_{n+1} ^2 + a_n ^2 \\\\]\n\nthe statement is: **I know a FieldElement \\\\(X\\in \\mathbb{F}\\\\) such that the 1023rd element of the FibonacciSq sequence starting with \\\\(1, X\\\\) is \\\\(2338775057\\\\)**\n\nThe underlying field of this class is \\\\(\\mathbb{F}_{3221225473}\\\\) (\\\\(3221225473 = 3 \\cdot 2^{30} + 1\\\\)), so all operations are done modulo 3221225473.\n\n\n### FibonacciSq Trace\n let's construct a list `a` of length 1023, whose first two elements will be FieldElement objects representing 1 and 3141592, respectively. The next 1021 elements will be the FibonacciSq sequence induced by these two elements. `a` is called the **trace** of FibonacciSq, or, when the context is clear, the trace.\n\n### Thinking of Polynomials\nWe now want to think of the sequence as the evaluation of some polynomial \\\\(f\\\\) of degree 1022.\nWe will choose the domain to be some subgroup \\\\(G \\subseteq \\mathbb{F}^\\times\\\\) of size 1024, for reasons that will become clear later.\n\n(Recall that \\\\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\\\) denotes the multiplicative group of \\\\(\\mathbb{F}\\\\), which we get from \\\\(\\mathbb{F}\\\\) by omitting the zero element with the induced multiplication from the field. A subgroup of size 1024 exists because \\\\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\\\) is a cyclic group of size \\\\(3\\cdot 2^{30}\\\\), so it contains a subgroup of size \\\\(2^i\\\\) for any \\\\(0 \\leq i \\leq 30\\\\)).\n#### Find a Group of Size 1024\nIf we find an element \\\\(g \\in \\mathbb{F}\\\\) whose (multiplicative) order is 1024, then \\\\(g\\\\) will generate such a group. Create a list called `G` with all the elements of \\\\(G\\\\), such that \\\\(G[i] := g^i\\\\).\n\n\n### Evaluating on a Larger Domain\nthen, interpolating `G` over `a` we get a polynomial `f`. The trace, viewed as evaluations of a polynomial \\\\(f\\\\) on \\\\(G\\\\), can now be extended by evaluating \\\\(f\\\\) over a larger domain, thereby creating a Reed-Solomon error correction code.\n\n#### Cosets\nTo that end, we must decide on a larger domain on which \\\\(f\\\\) will be evaluated. We will work with a domain that is 8 times larger than \\\\(G\\\\).
A natural choice for such a domain is to take some group \\\\(H\\\\) of size 8192 (which exists because 8192 divides \\\\(|\\mathbb{F}^\\times|\\\\)), and shift it by the generator of \\\\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\\\), thereby obtaining a [coset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coset) of \\\\(H\\\\).\n\nCreate a list called `H` of the elements of \\\\(H\\\\), and multiply each of them by the generator of \\\\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\\\) to obtain a list called `eval_domain`. In other words, `eval_domain` = \\\\(\\\\{w\\cdot h^i | 0 \\leq i <8192 \\\\}\\\\) for \\\\(h\\\\) the generator of \\\\(H\\\\) and \\\\(w\\\\) the generator of \\\\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\\\).\n\n\n#### Evaluate on a Coset\n```python\nf = interpolate_poly(G[:-1], a)\nf_eval = [f(d) for d in eval_domain]\n```\n\n### Commitments\nWe will use [Sha256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2)-based [Merkle Trees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree) as our commitment scheme.\n```python\nfrom merkle import MerkleTree\nf_merkle = MerkleTree(f_eval)\n```\n\n### Channel\nTheoretically, a STARK proof system is a protocol for interaction between two parties - a prover and a verifier. In practice, we convert this interactive protocol into a non-interactive proof using the [Fiat-Shamir Heuristic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat%E2%80%93Shamir_heuristic). In this tutorial you will use the `Channel` class, which implements this transformation. This channel replaces the verifier in the sense that the prover (which you are writing) will send data, and receive random numbers or random `FieldElement` instances.\n\n\n\n\n## constraints\nIn this part, we are going to create a set of constraints over the trace `a`. \n### Step 1 - FibonacciSq Constraints\nFor `a` to be a correct trace of a FibonacciSq sequence that proves our claim:\n1. The first element has to be 1, namely \\\\(a[0] = 1\\\\).\n2. The last element has to be 2338775057, namely \\\\(a[1022] = 2338775057\\\\).\n3. The FibonacciSq rule must apply, that is - for every \\\\(i<1021\\\\), \\\\(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\\\\).\n\n\n### Step 2 - Polynomial Constraints\nRecall that `f` is a polynomial over the trace domain, that evaluates exactly to `a` over \\\\(G \\setminus \\{g^{1023}\\}\\\\) where \\\\(G=\\{g^i : 0\\leq i\\leq 1023\\}\\\\) is the \"small\" group generated by \\\\(g\\\\).
\n\nWe now rewrite the above three constraints in a form of polynomial constraints over `f`:\n1. \\\\(a[0] = 1\\\\) is translated to the polynomial \\\\(f(x) - 1\\\\), which evalutes to 0 for \\\\(x = g^0\\\\) (note that \\\\(g^0\\\\) is \\\\(1\\\\)).
\n2. \\\\(a[1022] = 2338775057\\\\) is translated to the polynomial \\\\(f(x) - 2338775057\\\\), which evalutes to 0 for \\\\(x = g^{1022}\\\\).
\n3. \\\\(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\\\\) for every \\\\(i<1021\\\\) is translated to the polynomial \\\\(f(g^2 \\cdot x) - (f(g \\cdot x))^2 - (f(x))^2\\\\), which evaluates to 0 for \\\\(x \\in G \\backslash \\{g^{1021}, g^{1022}, g^{1023}\\}\\\\).

\n\n### Step 3 - Rational Functions (That are in Fact Polynomials)\n\nEach of the constraints above is represented by a polynomial \\\\(u(x)\\\\) that supposedly evaluates to \\\\(0\\\\) on certain elements of the group \\\\(G\\\\). That is, for some \\\\(x_0, \\ldots, x_k \\in G\\\\), we claim that\n\n\\\\[u(x_0) = \\ldots = u(x_k) = 0\\\\]\n\n(note that for the first two constaints, \\\\(k=0\\\\) because they only refer to one point and for the third \\\\(k=1021\\\\)).\n\nThis is equivalent to saying that \\\\(u(x)\\\\) is divisible, as a polynomial, by all of \\\\(\\{(x-x_i)\\}_{i=0}^k\\\\), or, equivalently, by\n\n\\\\[\\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)\\\\]\n\nTherefore, each of the three constraints above can be written as a rational function of the form:\n\n\\\\[\\frac{u(x)}{\\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)}\\\\]\n\nfor the corresponding \\\\(u(x)) and \\\\(\\{x_i\\}_{i=0}^k). In this step we will construct these three rational functions and show that they are indeed polynomials.\n\n# references\n- https://github.com/starkware-industries/stark101\n- [startk_math](https://medium.com/starkware/tagged/stark-math)\n- [starkEx deep dive](https://medium.com/starkware/starkdex-deep-dive-introduction-7b4ef0dedba8)\n- [coset] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coset","source":"_posts/zkp/stark-101.md","raw":"---\ntitle: stark_101\ndate: 2023-11-03 17:07:33\ntags: [cryptography,zkp]\n---\n\n\n\n# startk 101\n\n## trace and low degree extension\nthe objective is to develop a STARK prover for the FibonacciSq sequence over a finite field.

The underlying field of this class is \\(\\mathbb{F}_{3221225473}\\) (\\(3221225473 = 3 \\cdot 2^{30} + 1\\)), so all operations are done modulo 3221225473.

\n

FibonacciSq Trace

let’s construct a list a of length 1023, whose first two elements will be FieldElement objects representing 1 and 3141592, respectively. The next 1021 elements will be the FibonacciSq sequence induced by these two elements. a is called the trace of FibonacciSq, or, when the context is clear, the trace.

\n

Thinking of Polynomials

We now want to think of the sequence as the evaluation of some polynomial \\(f\\) of degree 1022.
We will choose the domain to be some subgroup \\(G \\subseteq \\mathbb{F}^\\times\\) of size 1024, for reasons that will become clear later.

\n

(Recall that \\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\) denotes the multiplicative group of \\(\\mathbb{F}\\), which we get from \\(\\mathbb{F}\\) by omitting the zero element with the induced multiplication from the field. A subgroup of size 1024 exists because \\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\) is a cyclic group of size \\(3\\cdot 2^{30}\\), so it contains a subgroup of size \\(2^i\\) for any \\(0 \\leq i \\leq 30\\)).

\n

Find a Group of Size 1024

If we find an element \\(g \\in \\mathbb{F}\\) whose (multiplicative) order is 1024, then \\(g\\) will generate such a group. Create a list called G with all the elements of \\(G\\), such that \\(G[i] := g^i\\).

\n

Evaluating on a Larger Domain

then, interpolating G over a we get a polynomial f. The trace, viewed as evaluations of a polynomial \\(f\\) on \\(G\\), can now be extended by evaluating \\(f\\) over a larger domain, thereby creating a Reed-Solomon error correction code.

\n

Cosets

To that end, we must decide on a larger domain on which \\(f\\) will be evaluated. We will work with a domain that is 8 times larger than \\(G\\).
A natural choice for such a domain is to take some group \\(H\\) of size 8192 (which exists because 8192 divides \\(|\\mathbb{F}^\\times|\\)), and shift it by the generator of \\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\), thereby obtaining a coset of \\(H\\).

\n

Create a list called H of the elements of \\(H\\), and multiply each of them by the generator of \\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\) to obtain a list called eval_domain. In other words, eval_domain = \\(\\{w\\cdot h^i | 0 \\leq i <8192 \\}\\) for \\(h\\) the generator of \\(H\\) and \\(w\\) the generator of \\(\\mathbb{F}^\\times\\).

Channel

Theoretically, a STARK proof system is a protocol for interaction between two parties - a prover and a verifier. In practice, we convert this interactive protocol into a non-interactive proof using the Fiat-Shamir Heuristic. In this tutorial you will use the Channel class, which implements this transformation. This channel replaces the verifier in the sense that the prover (which you are writing) will send data, and receive random numbers or random FieldElement instances.

\n

constraints

In this part, we are going to create a set of constraints over the trace a.

\n

Step 1 - FibonacciSq Constraints

For a to be a correct trace of a FibonacciSq sequence that proves our claim:

\n
    \n
  1. The first element has to be 1, namely \\(a[0] = 1\\).
    2. \n
  2. The last element has to be 2338775057, namely \\(a[1022] = 2338775057\\).
    3. \n
  3. The FibonacciSq rule must apply, that is - for every \\(i<1021\\), \\(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\\).
    4. \n
\n

Step 2 - Polynomial Constraints

Recall that f is a polynomial over the trace domain, that evaluates exactly to a over \\(G \\setminus {g^{1023}}\\) where \\(G={g^i : 0\\leq i\\leq 1023}\\) is the “small” group generated by \\(g\\).

\n

We now rewrite the above three constraints in a form of polynomial constraints over f:

\n
    \n
  1. \\(a[0] = 1\\) is translated to the polynomial \\(f(x) - 1\\), which evalutes to 0 for \\(x = g^0\\) (note that \\(g^0\\) is \\(1\\)).
    2. \n
  2. \\(a[1022] = 2338775057\\) is translated to the polynomial \\(f(x) - 2338775057\\), which evalutes to 0 for \\(x = g^{1022}\\).
    3. \n
  3. \\(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\\) for every \\(i<1021\\) is translated to the polynomial \\(f(g^2 \\cdot x) - (f(g \\cdot x))^2 - (f(x))^2\\), which evaluates to 0 for \\(x \\in G \\backslash {g^{1021}, g^{1022}, g^{1023}}\\).

    4. \n
\n

Step 3 - Rational Functions (That are in Fact Polynomials)

Each of the constraints above is represented by a polynomial \\(u(x)\\) that supposedly evaluates to \\(0\\) on certain elements of the group \\(G\\). That is, for some \\(x_0, \\ldots, x_k \\in G\\), we claim that

\n

\\[u(x_0) = \\ldots = u(x_k) = 0\\]

\n

(note that for the first two constaints, \\(k=0\\) because they only refer to one point and for the third \\(k=1021\\)).

\n

This is equivalent to saying that \\(u(x)\\) is divisible, as a polynomial, by all of \\({(x-x_i)}_{i=0}^k\\), or, equivalently, by

\n

\\[\\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)\\]

\n

Therefore, each of the three constraints above can be written as a rational function of the form:

\n

\\[\\frac{u(x)}{\\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)}\\]

\n

for the corresponding \\(u(x)) and \\({x_i}_{i=0}^k). In this step we will construct these three rational functions and show that they are indeed polynomials.

trace and low degree extension

the objective is to develop a STARK prover for the FibonacciSq sequence over a finite field. The FibonacciSq sequence is defined by the recurrence relation

the statement is: I know a FieldElement \\(X\\in \\mathbb{F}\\) such that the 1023rd element of the FibonacciSq sequence starting with \\(1, X\\) is \\(2338775057\\)

\n

Find a Group of Size 1024

If we find an element \\(g \\in \\mathbb{F}\\) whose (multiplicative) order is 1024, then \\(g\\) will generate such a group. Create a list called G with all the elements of \\(G\\), such that \\(G[i] := g^i\\).

\n
    \n
  1. \\(a[0] = 1\\) is translated to the polynomial \\(f(x) - 1\\), which evalutes to 0 for \\(x = g^0\\) (note that \\(g^0\\) is \\(1\\)).
    2. \n
  2. \\(a[1022] = 2338775057\\) is translated to the polynomial \\(f(x) - 2338775057\\), which evalutes to 0 for \\(x = g^{1022}\\).
    3. \n
  3. \\(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\\) for every \\(i<1021\\) is translated to the polynomial \\(f(g^2 \\cdot x) - (f(g \\cdot x))^2 - (f(x))^2\\), which evaluates to 0 for \\(x \\in G \\backslash {g^{1021}, g^{1022}, g^{1023}}\\).

(note that for the first two constaints, \\(k=0\\) because they only refer to one point and for the third \\(k=1021\\)).

\\[\\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)\\]

\n

Therefore, each of the three constraints above can be written as a rational function of the form:

\n

\\[\\frac{u(x)}{\\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)}\\]

\n

for the corresponding \\(u(x)) and \\({x_i}_{i=0}^k). In this step we will construct these three rational functions and show that they are indeed polynomials.

introduction

PLONK, standing for the unwieldy quasi-backronym “Permutations over Lagrange-bases for Oecumenical Noninteractive arguments of Knowledge”. PLONK still requires a “universal and updateable” trusted setup, meaning each program share the same setup. Secondly, there is a way for multiple parties to participate in the trusted setup such that it is secure as long as any one of them is honest.

startk 101

trace and low degree extension

the objective is to develop a STARK prover for the FibonacciSq sequence over a finite field. The FibonacciSq sequence is defined by the recurrence relation
\[ a_{n+2} = a_{n+1} ^2 + a_n ^2 \]

+

the statement is: I know a FieldElement \(X\in \mathbb{F}\) such that the 1023rd element of the FibonacciSq sequence starting with \(1, X\) is \(2338775057\)

+

The underlying field of this class is \(\mathbb{F}_{3221225473}\) (\(3221225473 = 3 \cdot 2^{30} + 1\)), so all operations are done modulo 3221225473.

+

FibonacciSq Trace

let’s construct a list a of length 1023, whose first two elements will be FieldElement objects representing 1 and 3141592, respectively. The next 1021 elements will be the FibonacciSq sequence induced by these two elements. a is called the trace of FibonacciSq, or, when the context is clear, the trace.

+

Thinking of Polynomials

We now want to think of the sequence as the evaluation of some polynomial \(f\) of degree 1022.
We will choose the domain to be some subgroup \(G \subseteq \mathbb{F}^\times\) of size 1024, for reasons that will become clear later.

+

(Recall that \(\mathbb{F}^\times\) denotes the multiplicative group of \(\mathbb{F}\), which we get from \(\mathbb{F}\) by omitting the zero element with the induced multiplication from the field. A subgroup of size 1024 exists because \(\mathbb{F}^\times\) is a cyclic group of size \(3\cdot 2^{30}\), so it contains a subgroup of size \(2^i\) for any \(0 \leq i \leq 30\)).

+

Find a Group of Size 1024

If we find an element \(g \in \mathbb{F}\) whose (multiplicative) order is 1024, then \(g\) will generate such a group. Create a list called G with all the elements of \(G\), such that \(G[i] := g^i\).

+

Evaluating on a Larger Domain

then, interpolating G over a we get a polynomial f. The trace, viewed as evaluations of a polynomial \(f\) on \(G\), can now be extended by evaluating \(f\) over a larger domain, thereby creating a Reed-Solomon error correction code.

+

Cosets

To that end, we must decide on a larger domain on which \(f\) will be evaluated. We will work with a domain that is 8 times larger than \(G\).
A natural choice for such a domain is to take some group \(H\) of size 8192 (which exists because 8192 divides \(|\mathbb{F}^\times|\)), and shift it by the generator of \(\mathbb{F}^\times\), thereby obtaining a coset of \(H\).

+

Create a list called H of the elements of \(H\), and multiply each of them by the generator of \(\mathbb{F}^\times\) to obtain a list called eval_domain. In other words, eval_domain = \(\{w\cdot h^i | 0 \leq i <8192 \}\) for \(h\) the generator of \(H\) and \(w\) the generator of \(\mathbb{F}^\times\).

+

f = interpolate_poly(G[:-1], a)
f_eval = [f(d) for d in eval_domain]

Commitments

We will use Sha256-based Merkle Trees as our commitment scheme.

Channel

Theoretically, a STARK proof system is a protocol for interaction between two parties - a prover and a verifier. In practice, we convert this interactive protocol into a non-interactive proof using the Fiat-Shamir Heuristic. In this tutorial you will use the Channel class, which implements this transformation. This channel replaces the verifier in the sense that the prover (which you are writing) will send data, and receive random numbers or random FieldElement instances.

+

constraints

In this part, we are going to create a set of constraints over the trace a.

+

Step 1 - FibonacciSq Constraints

For a to be a correct trace of a FibonacciSq sequence that proves our claim:

+
    +
  1. The first element has to be 1, namely \(a[0] = 1\).
    2. +
  2. The last element has to be 2338775057, namely \(a[1022] = 2338775057\).
    3. +
  3. The FibonacciSq rule must apply, that is - for every \(i<1021\), \(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\).
    4. +
+

Step 2 - Polynomial Constraints

Recall that f is a polynomial over the trace domain, that evaluates exactly to a over \(G \setminus {g^{1023}}\) where \(G={g^i : 0\leq i\leq 1023}\) is the “small” group generated by \(g\).

+

We now rewrite the above three constraints in a form of polynomial constraints over f:

+
    +
  1. \(a[0] = 1\) is translated to the polynomial \(f(x) - 1\), which evalutes to 0 for \(x = g^0\) (note that \(g^0\) is \(1\)).
    2. +
  2. \(a[1022] = 2338775057\) is translated to the polynomial \(f(x) - 2338775057\), which evalutes to 0 for \(x = g^{1022}\).
    3. +
  3. \(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\) for every \(i<1021\) is translated to the polynomial \(f(g^2 \cdot x) - (f(g \cdot x))^2 - (f(x))^2\), which evaluates to 0 for \(x \in G \backslash {g^{1021}, g^{1022}, g^{1023}}\).

    4. +
+

Step 3 - Rational Functions (That are in Fact Polynomials)

Each of the constraints above is represented by a polynomial \(u(x)\) that supposedly evaluates to \(0\) on certain elements of the group \(G\). That is, for some \(x_0, \ldots, x_k \in G\), we claim that

+

\[u(x_0) = \ldots = u(x_k) = 0\]

+

(note that for the first two constaints, \(k=0\) because they only refer to one point and for the third \(k=1021\)).

+

This is equivalent to saying that \(u(x)\) is divisible, as a polynomial, by all of \({(x-x_i)}_{i=0}^k\), or, equivalently, by

+

\[\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)\]

+

Therefore, each of the three constraints above can be written as a rational function of the form:

+

\[\frac{u(x)}{\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)}\]

+

for the corresponding \(u(x)) and \({x_i}_{i=0}^k). In this step we will construct these three rational functions and show that they are indeed polynomials.

startk 101

trace and low degree extension

the objective is to develop a STARK prover for the FibonacciSq sequence over a finite field. The FibonacciSq sequence is defined by the recurrence relation
\[ a_{n+2} = a_{n+1} ^2 + a_n ^2 \]

+

the statement is: I know a FieldElement \(X\in \mathbb{F}\) such that the 1023rd element of the FibonacciSq sequence starting with \(1, X\) is \(2338775057\)

+

The underlying field of this class is \(\mathbb{F}_{3221225473}\) (\(3221225473 = 3 \cdot 2^{30} + 1\)), so all operations are done modulo 3221225473.

+

FibonacciSq Trace

let’s construct a list a of length 1023, whose first two elements will be FieldElement objects representing 1 and 3141592, respectively. The next 1021 elements will be the FibonacciSq sequence induced by these two elements. a is called the trace of FibonacciSq, or, when the context is clear, the trace.

+

Thinking of Polynomials

We now want to think of the sequence as the evaluation of some polynomial \(f\) of degree 1022.
We will choose the domain to be some subgroup \(G \subseteq \mathbb{F}^\times\) of size 1024, for reasons that will become clear later.

+

(Recall that \(\mathbb{F}^\times\) denotes the multiplicative group of \(\mathbb{F}\), which we get from \(\mathbb{F}\) by omitting the zero element with the induced multiplication from the field. A subgroup of size 1024 exists because \(\mathbb{F}^\times\) is a cyclic group of size \(3\cdot 2^{30}\), so it contains a subgroup of size \(2^i\) for any \(0 \leq i \leq 30\)).

+

Find a Group of Size 1024

If we find an element \(g \in \mathbb{F}\) whose (multiplicative) order is 1024, then \(g\) will generate such a group. Create a list called G with all the elements of \(G\), such that \(G[i] := g^i\).

+

Evaluating on a Larger Domain

then, interpolating G over a we get a polynomial f. The trace, viewed as evaluations of a polynomial \(f\) on \(G\), can now be extended by evaluating \(f\) over a larger domain, thereby creating a Reed-Solomon error correction code.

+

Cosets

To that end, we must decide on a larger domain on which \(f\) will be evaluated. We will work with a domain that is 8 times larger than \(G\).
A natural choice for such a domain is to take some group \(H\) of size 8192 (which exists because 8192 divides \(|\mathbb{F}^\times|\)), and shift it by the generator of \(\mathbb{F}^\times\), thereby obtaining a coset of \(H\).

+

Create a list called H of the elements of \(H\), and multiply each of them by the generator of \(\mathbb{F}^\times\) to obtain a list called eval_domain. In other words, eval_domain = \(\{w\cdot h^i | 0 \leq i <8192 \}\) for \(h\) the generator of \(H\) and \(w\) the generator of \(\mathbb{F}^\times\).

+

Evaluate on a Coset

f = interpolate_poly(G[:-1], a)
f_eval = [f(d) for d in eval_domain]
+ +

Commitments

We will use Sha256-based Merkle Trees as our commitment scheme.

+

from merkle import MerkleTree
f_merkle = MerkleTree(f_eval)
+ +

Channel

Theoretically, a STARK proof system is a protocol for interaction between two parties - a prover and a verifier. In practice, we convert this interactive protocol into a non-interactive proof using the Fiat-Shamir Heuristic. In this tutorial you will use the Channel class, which implements this transformation. This channel replaces the verifier in the sense that the prover (which you are writing) will send data, and receive random numbers or random FieldElement instances.

+

constraints

In this part, we are going to create a set of constraints over the trace a.

+

Step 1 - FibonacciSq Constraints

For a to be a correct trace of a FibonacciSq sequence that proves our claim:

+
    +
  1. The first element has to be 1, namely \(a[0] = 1\).
    2. +
  2. The last element has to be 2338775057, namely \(a[1022] = 2338775057\).
    3. +
  3. The FibonacciSq rule must apply, that is - for every \(i<1021\), \(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\).
    4. +
+

Step 2 - Polynomial Constraints

Recall that f is a polynomial over the trace domain, that evaluates exactly to a over \(G \setminus {g^{1023}}\) where \(G={g^i : 0\leq i\leq 1023}\) is the “small” group generated by \(g\).

+

We now rewrite the above three constraints in a form of polynomial constraints over f:

+
    +
  1. \(a[0] = 1\) is translated to the polynomial \(f(x) - 1\), which evalutes to 0 for \(x = g^0\) (note that \(g^0\) is \(1\)).
    2. +
  2. \(a[1022] = 2338775057\) is translated to the polynomial \(f(x) - 2338775057\), which evalutes to 0 for \(x = g^{1022}\).
    3. +
  3. \(a[i+2]=a[i+1]^2+a[i]^2\) for every \(i<1021\) is translated to the polynomial \(f(g^2 \cdot x) - (f(g \cdot x))^2 - (f(x))^2\), which evaluates to 0 for \(x \in G \backslash {g^{1021}, g^{1022}, g^{1023}}\).

    4. +
+

Step 3 - Rational Functions (That are in Fact Polynomials)

Each of the constraints above is represented by a polynomial \(u(x)\) that supposedly evaluates to \(0\) on certain elements of the group \(G\). That is, for some \(x_0, \ldots, x_k \in G\), we claim that

+

\[u(x_0) = \ldots = u(x_k) = 0\]

+

(note that for the first two constaints, \(k=0\) because they only refer to one point and for the third \(k=1021\)).

+

This is equivalent to saying that \(u(x)\) is divisible, as a polynomial, by all of \({(x-x_i)}_{i=0}^k\), or, equivalently, by

+

\[\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)\]

+

Therefore, each of the three constraints above can be written as a rational function of the form:

+

\[\frac{u(x)}{\prod_{i=0}^k (x-x_i)}\]

+

for the corresponding \(u(x)) and \({x_i}_{i=0}^k). In this step we will construct these three rational functions and show that they are indeed polynomials.

introduction

PLONK, standing for the unwieldy quasi-backronym “Permutations over Lagrange-bases for Oecumenical Noninteractive arguments of Knowledge”. PLONK still requires a “universal and updateable” trusted setup, meaning each program share the same setup. Secondly, there is a way for multiple parties to participate in the trusted setup such that it is secure as long as any one of them is honest.

Send and Sync

    -
  • A type is Send if it is safe to send it to another thread.
    • -
  • A type is Sync if it is safe to share between threads (T is Sync if and only if &T is Send).
    • -
  • raw pointers are neither Send nor Sync (because they have no safety guards).
    • -
  • UnsafeCell isn’t Sync (and therefore Cell and RefCell aren’t).
    • -
  • Rc isn’t Send or Sync (because the refcount is shared and unsynchronized).

Types that aren’t automatically derived can simply implement them if desired:

std::collections::VecDeque

A double-ended queue (deque) implemented with a growable ring buffer.
Since VecDeque is a ring buffer, its elements are not necessarily contiguous in memory. If you want to access the elements as a single slice, such as for efficient sorting, you can use make_contiguous. It rotates the VecDeque so that its elements do not wrap, and returns a mutable slice to the now-contiguous element sequence.

  • reserve_exact(&mut self, additional: usize) Reserves the minimum capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the given deque. Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.
    • -
  • reserve(&mut self, additional: usize)
    • -
  • shrink_to_fit(&mut self) Shrinks the capacity of the deque as much as possible.
    • -
  • truncate(&mut self, len: usize) Shortens the deque, keeping the first len elements and dropping the rest.

/// Creates an iterator that works like map, but flattens nested structure.
///
/// The [`map`] adapter is very useful, but only when the closure
/// argument produces values. If it produces an iterator instead, there's
/// an extra layer of indirection. `flat_map()` will remove this extra layer
/// on its own.
