From 477d6bc5054ea8eac923f9da6b7c93660750ef12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Cory Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2025 16:57:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9C=A8=20feat:=20implement=20isomorphic?= =?UTF-8?q?=20logging=20system=20and=20add=20comprehensive=20debug=20loggi?= =?UTF-8?q?ng?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implement cross-platform logging system using std_options.logFn that works consistently across all target architectures including native platforms, WASI, and WASM environments. Add comprehensive debug logging throughout core EVM components for better development experience and debugging. ## Implementation Strategy ### Step 1: Create std_options configuration - Created src/std_options.zig with custom logFn for multi-platform support - Compile-time target detection for zero runtime overhead - Platform-specific backends: native (stderr), WASI (stderr), WASM (buffer + JS interop) - Dead code elimination removes unused backends ### Step 2: Platform-specific logging backends - Native platforms: Use std.log.defaultLog for stderr/stdout - WASI: stderr writer with proper error handling - WASM (freestanding): Dual approach with buffer + optional JS console interop - Export functions for JS integration: getLogBuffer(), getLogBufferLen(), clearLogBuffer() - Thread-safe buffer management with mutex protection ### Step 3: Update existing logging module - Modified src/evm/log.zig to use std.log for isomorphic behavior - Removed inline keywords for consistent bundle size optimization - Added info() function for general information logging - Maintained EVM-specific log prefixing for easy identification ### Step 4: Add comprehensive debug logging - VM execution: initialization, interpretation context, depth tracking - Jump table: opcode execution, gas consumption, validation errors - State management: storage operations, initialization tracking - Stack operations: push/pop operations, overflow/underflow detection - Memory management: resize operations, byte access, limit enforcement ## Technical Specifications ### File Structure - src/std_options.zig (new): Isomorphic logging configuration - src/evm/log.zig (modified): Updated API using std.log - src/evm/vm.zig (modified): Added VM execution logging - src/evm/jump_table.zig (modified): Added opcode dispatch logging - src/evm/evm_state.zig (modified): Added state operation logging - src/evm/stack.zig (modified): Added stack operation logging - src/evm/memory.zig (modified): Added memory operation logging ### Target Platform Support - linux, macos, windows, freebsd: Native stderr/stdout logging - wasi: WASM with system interface support - freestanding + wasm32/wasm64: Browser/Node.js WASM environments - Other platforms: Fallback to default or no-op logging ### Performance Considerations - Compile-time target detection (zero runtime overhead) - Debug logs optimized away in release builds - Efficient buffer management for WASM (8KB buffer with wraparound) - Mutex protection for thread-safe buffer access - Minimal memory footprint for embedded targets ### Error Handling - All logging errors are non-fatal - Graceful fallback when JS interop unavailable - Buffer overflow protection with safe wraparound - Memory allocation failure handling - Silent operation in resource-constrained environments ## Success Criteria Achieved ### Functional ✅ Logging works identically across all target platforms ✅ WASM builds compile and run without logging errors ✅ Existing codebase requires no changes to logging calls ✅ JavaScript can read logs from WASM modules via exported functions ✅ Comprehensive debug logging added to core EVM components ### Quality ✅ Code follows project style guidelines (snake_case, 120 char width) ✅ Implementation is maintainable and well-documented ✅ Performance overhead is minimal (compile-time optimization) ✅ Error handling is robust and non-intrusive ✅ All tests pass (zig build test-all) ### Integration ✅ Seamless replacement of existing logging system ✅ No disruption to development workflow ✅ Clear path for future logging enhancements ✅ Compatible with existing build system and CI ✅ Maintains API compatibility while improving functionality The isomorphic logging system enables consistent debugging across all deployment targets while the comprehensive debug logging provides detailed insights into EVM execution flow, making development and troubleshooting significantly more effective. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude From 2b4ce55acb42bf5e4ae301055fcd4b171a2a49ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Cory Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2025 17:29:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20perf:=20Add=20@branchHint=20opt?= =?UTF-8?q?imizations=20to=20EVM=20execution=20paths?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;

Also add a CLAUDE.md file to src/evm/CLAUDE.md (you will have to create the file). Explore the evm implementation and write a useful CLAUDE.md. Include the instructions that we should not use the inline keyword so the compiler has best ability to make wasm bundle size small or performance fast at it's wish. Also in the root CLAUDE.md mention we prefer if (\!foo) unreachable over std.debug.assert as the first is more readable and the literal implementation of the 2nd. Add to the main claude.md that no zig code should ever be committed until zig build test-all is run. Add that we should run zig build test-all early and often because the zig tests run so fast so the feedback is useful and worth it. After doing all this make a commit following the commit instructions you just wrote but use gt branch create -m "" this time rather than git 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- CLAUDE.md | 23 ++++- src/evm/CLAUDE.md | 215 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 237 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 src/evm/CLAUDE.md diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 7feb8747c1..a8608408ac 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -47,6 +47,12 @@ These action handlers translate between Viem-style parameters and the internal E - Test specific test: `vitest run -t ""` - Test with coverage: `bun test:coverage` +### Zig-specific Commands + +- Test all Zig code: `zig build test-all` +- **CRITICAL**: No Zig code should ever be committed until `zig build test-all` passes +- Run `zig build test-all` early and often - Zig tests are extremely fast and provide valuable feedback + ## Style Guide - Formatting: Biome with tabs (2 spaces wide), 120 char line width, single quotes @@ -56,7 +62,7 @@ These action handlers translate between Viem-style parameters and the internal E - Error handling: Extend BaseError, include detailed diagnostics - Barrel files: Use explicit exports to prevent breaking changes -### Zig Naming Conventions +### Zig Style Conventions For Zig files, we use snake_case for everything except types: - **Functions**: snake_case (e.g., `calculate_gas_cost`, `init_memory`) @@ -65,6 +71,11 @@ For Zig files, we use snake_case for everything except types: - **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., `MAX_MEMORY_SIZE`, `DEFAULT_GAS`) - **File names**: snake_case (e.g., `memory.zig`, `jump_table.zig`) +**Zig-specific Style Rules:** +- **NO `inline` keyword**: Let the compiler decide on inlining for optimal WASM bundle size and performance +- **Prefer `if (!condition) unreachable;` over `std.debug.assert`**: More readable and is the literal implementation +- **Performance hints**: Use `@branchHint(.likely)` for hot paths and `@branchHint(.cold)` for error paths + This convention applies to all Zig code in the project.
