STACK_DEPTH_LIMIT
- STACK_DEPTH_LIMIT
STACK_DEPTH_LIMIT = U256(1024)
MessageCallOutput
Output of a particular message call
Contains the following:
gas_left: remaining gas after execution.
refund_counter: gas to refund after execution.
logs: list of Log generated during execution.
accounts_to_delete: Contracts which have self-destructed.
has_erred: True if execution has caused an error.
- class MessageCallOutput
- gas_left :ethereum.base_types.Uint
- refund_counter :ethereum.base_types.U256
- logs :Tuple[ethereum.homestead.fork_types.Log, Ellipsis]:Union[Tuple[], Tuple[ethereum.dao_fork.fork_types.Log, Ellipsis]]
- accounts_to_delete :Set[ethereum.homestead.fork_types.Address]:Set[ethereum.dao_fork.fork_types.Address]
- has_erred :bool
process_message_call
- process_message_call(message, env)
If message.current is empty then it creates a smart contract else it executes a call from the message.caller to the message.target.
- Parameters
message – Transaction specific items.
env – External items required for EVM execution.
- Returns
output – Output of the message call
- Return type
