precompile
This module implements precompiled contracts in the EVM, adding a layer of pre-set functionalities. These are documented in more detail in the next section. The module defines the types and the enum that are used to handle precompiled contracts.
PrecompileResult
: This is a type alias for a Result
type. The Ok
variant of this type contains a tuple (u64
, Vec<u8>
), where the u64
integer likely represents gas used by the precompiled contract, and the Vec<u8>
holds the output data. The Err variant contains a PrecompileError.
StandardPrecompileFn
and CustomPrecompileFn
: These are type aliases for function pointers. Both functions take a byte slice and a u64
(probably the available gas) as arguments and return a PrecompileResult
. The naming suggests that the former refers to built-in precompiled contracts, while the latter may refer to custom, user-defined contracts.
PrecompileError
: This is an enumeration (enum) which describes the different types of errors that could occur while executing a precompiled contract. The listed variants suggest these errors are related to gas consumption, Blake2
hash function, modular exponentiation ("Modexp
"), and Bn128
, which is a specific elliptic curve used in cryptography.
