Poem

In the warren where opcodes leap and bound,
A helper now runs tests all around!
Contracts spring up at addresses anew,
With errors and results both honest and true.
Docs now blossom—so clear and bright—
The VM hops forward, byte by byte!

src/evm/contract.zig (1)

502-540: Good addition for testing infrastructure.

The implementation correctly initializes all contract fields and properly calculates the code hash. The separation of concerns is well-documented.

Consider renaming the bytecode parameter to code for consistency with other functions and to better reflect that this represents deployed contract code rather than initialization bytecode.

 pub fn init_at_address(
     caller: Address.Address,
     address: Address.Address,
     value: u256,
     gas: u64,
-    bytecode: []const u8,
+    code: []const u8,
     input: []const u8,
     is_static: bool,
 ) Self {
     // Calculate code hash for the bytecode
     var hasher = std.crypto.hash.sha3.Keccak256.init(.{});
-    hasher.update(bytecode);
+    hasher.update(code);
     var code_hash: [32]u8 = undefined;
     hasher.final(&code_hash);
 
     return Self{
         .address = address,
         .caller = caller,
         .value = value,
         .gas = gas,
-        .code = bytecode,
+        .code = code,
         .code_hash = code_hash,
-        .code_size = bytecode.len,
+        .code_size = code.len,
         .input = input,
         .is_static = is_static,
         .analysis = null,
         .storage_access = null,
         .original_storage = null,
         .is_cold = true,
         .gas_refund = 0,
         .is_deployment = false,
         .is_system_call = false,
-        .has_jumpdests = contains_jumpdest(bytecode),
-        .is_empty = bytecode.len == 0,

393-593: Track unimplemented call operations.

All call-related methods (CALL, CALLCODE, DELEGATECALL, STATICCALL) currently return failure. While acceptable for incremental development, these are critical EVM operations.

Consider creating GitHub issues to track the implementation of these methods to ensure they're not forgotten.

Would you like me to create tracking issues for implementing these call operations?


737-746: Incomplete SELFDESTRUCT implementation.

The method currently only validates static context but doesn't implement the actual balance transfer and contract deletion logic. This should be tracked alongside the other unimplemented operations.

Would you like me to help implement the complete SELFDESTRUCT logic or create a tracking issue?

src/evm/run_result.zig (3)

1-1: LGTM: Clean import addition

The ExecutionError import is correctly added and aligns with the enhanced error handling structure.


6-6: LGTM: Optional error field enhances error reporting

The addition of the optional err field provides structured error information for execution failures, improving debugging and error handling capabilities.


9-9: LGTM: Optional output field makes sense

Making the output field optional is logical since not all EVM operations produce output data.

src/evm/operations/arithmetic.zig (2)

1-6: Excellent module documentation

The module-level documentation clearly explains the purpose and key characteristics of arithmetic operations, including the important detail about wrapping overflow semantics on 256-bit integers.


15-21: Comprehensive ADD operation documentation

The documentation for the ADD operation is thorough and well-structured, including:

  • Opcode number (0x01)
  • Clear stack behavior description
  • Gas cost information
  • Reference to wrapping overflow semantics

This sets a good standard for documenting other operations.

src/evm/evm.zig (1)

61-64: LGTM: Enhanced result type exports improve API granularity

The replacement of the single RunError with structured result types (RunResult, CreateResult, CallResult) provides better granularity and aligns with the enhanced error handling and execution result tracking mentioned in the PR objectives.

test/evm/opcodes/test_helpers.zig (2)

290-292: LGTM: Clear documentation and error type definition

The function documentation clearly explains its purpose as a replacement for direct vm.run_bytecode calls, and the error union type properly combines allocator and execution errors.


293-317: LGTM: Well-implemented bytecode execution helper

The runBytecode function is well-structured with:

  • Proper error handling and resource management with defer
  • Correct contract initialization using init_at_address
  • Appropriate VM state setup before execution
  • Clean parameter handling with optional input

This standardizes test execution and aligns with the enhanced VM API.

test/evm/vm_opcode_test.zig (2)

8-8: LGTM: Clean test helper import.

The import follows standard conventions and properly references the test helpers module.


59-59: Excellent systematic refactoring to use centralized test helpers.

The consistent replacement of direct vm.run() calls with test_helpers.runBytecode() improves test maintainability and aligns with the new structured VM API. All calls follow the same pattern with proper cleanup handling.

Also applies to: 89-89, 131-131, 163-163, 190-190, 227-227, 279-279, 308-308, 334-334, 387-387, 417-417, 445-445, 475-475, 522-522, 551-551, 581-581, 610-610, 638-638, 668-668, 758-758, 788-788, 815-815, 843-843, 871-871, 899-899, 929-929, 968-968, 997-997, 1024-1024, 1051-1051, 1078-1078, 1132-1132, 1161-1161, 1252-1252, 1315-1315, 1409-1409, 1470-1470, 1533-1533, 1562-1562, 1590-1590, 1651-1651, 1712-1712, 1742-1742, 1770-1770, 1797-1797, 1829-1829, 1859-1859, 1887-1887, 1914-1914, 1941-1941, 1972-1972, 2000-2000, 2025-2025, 2050-2050, 2084-2084, 2120-2120, 2147-2147, 2172-2172, 2195-2195

test/evm/integration/complex_scenarios_test.zig (1)

28-32: Good improvements to VM context initialization.

The changes use more direct and type-safe address initialization methods instead of string parsing, which is more robust and performant.

Also applies to: 38-38

src/evm/code_analysis.zig (1)

4-31: Excellent comprehensive documentation enhancement.

This detailed documentation significantly improves code maintainability by clearly explaining:

  • The structure's purpose and caching benefits
  • Field meanings and usage patterns
  • Performance characteristics (O(log n) jump validation, O(1) code segment checking)
  • Memory management requirements

The structured format with sections makes it highly readable and useful for developers.

test/evm/integration/opcode_integration_test.zig (3)

8-8: Consistent test helper import.

Properly follows the same pattern as other test files in this refactoring.


31-33: Improved VM context initialization.

The direct address assignment is more robust than string parsing and aligns with the updated VM API.

Also applies to: 39-39


65-65: Systematic and consistent test helper adoption.

All test functions have been properly updated to use the centralized test_helpers.runBytecode() function, maintaining consistency across the entire test suite.

Also applies to: 96-96, 128-128, 160-160, 193-193, 227-227, 254-254, 285-285, 316-316, 342-342, 363-363, 393-393, 424-424, 459-459, 489-489, 555-555

src/evm/contract.zig (1)

42-47: Code formatting looks good.

The expanded format improves readability while maintaining the same no-op behavior for single-threaded builds.

src/evm/vm.zig (4)

26-52: Excellent VM struct improvements.

The addition of comprehensive documentation and new fields for proper state management, protocol versioning, and static context tracking significantly improves the VM's capabilities. The field-level documentation is particularly helpful.


331-389: Proper integration with RunResult in contract creation.

The updated error handling correctly distinguishes between reverts (which preserve gas) and other failures (which consume all gas). The deployment gas calculation and code size validation are properly implemented.


654-735: Well-designed static context protection.

The implementation provides comprehensive protection against state modifications in static calls, following a consistent pattern across all state-modifying operations. The value transfer validation correctly prevents non-zero value transfers in static contexts.


88-232:

❓ Verification inconclusive

Great improvement to execution result handling.

The refactoring to return structured RunResult with proper error types, status codes, and gas tracking significantly improves the API. The comprehensive documentation with examples is excellent.

One concern: Given the warning about memory leaks in emit_log (line 599), ensure that all allocated output memory is properly freed by callers to prevent leaks.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Check if RunResult output is properly freed in all usage sites
rg -A 10 "vm\.(interpret|interpret_static|interpret_with_context)" --type zig | rg -B 5 -A 5 "(defer|free|deinit).*output"

Length of output: 725


Memory Management Reminder: free RunResult.output

The new RunResult API with structured error/status codes and precise gas tracking is a solid improvement. However, callers must explicitly free the output buffer returned on both success and error paths to avoid memory leaks.

Please audit all usage sites of vm.interpret, vm.interpret_static, and vm.interpret_with_context and ensure you add cleanup like:

const result = try vm.interpret(&contract, input);
defer if (result.output) |out| vm.allocator.free(out);
8000

Examples needing review:

  • test/evm/opcodes/test_helpers.zig – currently returns the result without freeing output.
  • Any CLI or integration tests that invoke these methods.

Confirm that every code path consuming a RunResult frees its output.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Appropriate handling of internal VM state access removal.

The tests properly skip assertions that relied on now-encapsulated VM internals. The clear comments explain the temporary nature of these changes, which is good for maintainability.

Consider updating these tests to validate results through the new public API rather than skipping assertions, to maintain test coverage.

Also applies to: 272-275, 319-322, 488-492, 610-614

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In test/evm/integration/complex_scenarios_test.zig at lines 206-209 and
similarly at 272-275, 319-322, 488-492, and 610-614, the test currently skips
assertions due to removal of direct access to internal VM state. To fix this,
replace these skipped assertions by using the new public API to verify the
expected VM state or results, ensuring the tests maintain coverage and validate
behavior without relying on internal state access.
