Why this should be merged

Prerequisite for #1228. Also paves the way for pure-Solidity (similar to Forge) testing of contracts intended to be deployed with custom precompiles.

How this works

  1. The new evmsim package wraps geth's SimulatedBackend to provide a real EVM with an interface allowing use with contract bindings generated with abigen. It provides some additional convenience functions that make using the simulator easier. Most importantly, enabling individual precompiles is trivial.

  2. The new dstest parses transaction receipts to find events emitted by Solidity-based tests inheriting from DSTest; the existing precompile tests use this, as do Forge tests. All failing DSTest assertions emit such events.

  3. The existing Solidity contracts for testing the allowlist precompile are run through solc | abigen to produce Go bindings that are used with evmsim to mirror the behaviour of the equivalent Hardhat test. Failures are detected (and reported) with the dstest package. Unlike the Hardhat tests, these are run in the same process and on the subnet-evm VM implementation.

Tip

Review the code in the order described above: testing/evmsim, then testing/dstest, then contracts/*_test.go. Apologies for adding so much functionality in one PR! It started as (3) but that necessitated (2) and then (1).

How this was tested

Unit testing of dstest against an evmsim backend running a Solidity contract that emits DSTest events. The allowlist tests were also deliberately broken (and then reverted) to confirm that the Go tests fail.

How is this documented

Full godoc commentary.

TODO Before review

  • Abstract //go:generate solc | abigen into script
  • Pre-merge check that generated files are up to date
  • Move precompile configuration into evmsim.New()

Missing regular expression anchor High

When this is used as a regular expression on a URL, it may match anywhere, and arbitrary hosts may come before or after it.

Incomplete regular expression for hostnames High

This regular expression has an unescaped dot before 'com', so it might match more hosts than expected when the regular expression is used.

…le `contract Empty`

Repeated runs of `go generate ./contracts/...` could result in different outputs. I suspect that it's because of a Solidity bug (they call it a feature though) that appends a hash of the complete source file from which a contract was compiled. In this case it would have been from the different context in which the otherwise same `Example` contracts were defined; in the worst case a single-character change in a comment results in different addresses (i.e. a bug) `</rant>`.
