With EOF removed from the Osaka fork, and no longer being tested, the
implementation will now just be bitrotting. I'm opting to remove it so
it doesn't get in the way of other changes.
The bulk of this PR is authored by @lightclient , in the original
EOF-work. More recently, the code has been picked up and reworked for the new EOF
specification, by @MariusVanDerWijden , in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29518, and also @shemnon has contributed with fixes.
This PR is an attempt to start eating the elephant one small bite at a
time, by selecting only the eof-validation as a standalone piece which
can be merged without interfering too much in the core stuff.
In this PR:
- [x] Validation of eof containers, lifted from #29518, along with
test-vectors from consensus-tests and fuzzing, to ensure that the move
did not lose any functionality.
- [x] Definition of eof opcodes, which is a prerequisite for validation
- [x] Addition of `undefined` to a jumptable entry item. I'm not
super-happy with this, but for the moment it seems the least invasive
way to do it. A better way might be to go back and allowing nil-items or
nil execute-functions to denote "undefined".
- [x] benchmarks of eof validation speed
