Introduction

EVM memory operations.

memory_write

Writes to memory.

Parameters

memory : Memory contents of the EVM. start_position : Starting pointer to the memory. value : Data to write to memory.

def memory_write(​memory: bytearray, ​​start_position: U256, ​​value: Bytes​) -> None:
23
    <snip>
36
    memory[start_position : int(start_position) + len(value)] = value

memory_read_bytes

Read bytes from memory.

Parameters

memory : Memory contents of the EVM. start_position : Starting pointer to the memory. size : Size of the data that needs to be read from start_position.

Returns

data_bytes : Data read from memory.

def memory_read_bytes(​memory: bytearray, ​​start_position: U256, ​​size: U256​) -> Bytes:
42
    <snip>
60
    return Bytes(memory[start_position : Uint(start_position) + Uint(size)])

buffer_read

Read bytes from a buffer. Padding with zeros if necessary.

Parameters

buffer : Memory contents of the EVM. start_position : Starting pointer to the memory. size : Size of the data that needs to be read from start_position.

Returns

data_bytes : Data read from memory.

def buffer_read(​buffer: Bytes, ​​start_position: U256, ​​size: U256​) -> Bytes:

        buffer[start_position : Uint(start_position) + Uint(size)], size
84
    )
82
    buffer_slice = buffer[start_position : Uint(start_position) + Uint(size)]
83
    return right_pad_zero_bytes(bytes(buffer_slice), size)
