Trace RPC API Notes
This document outlines major differences for trace_replayBlockTransactions
compared to other implementations.
stateDiff
No major differences were observed in the stateDiff
field.
trace
Besu reports gasUsed
after applying the effects of gas refunds. Future
implementations of Besu might track gas refunds separately.
vmTrace
Returned Memory from Calls
In the vmTrace
op.ex.mem
fields Besu only reports actual data returned
from a RETURN
opcode. Other implementations return the contents of the
reserved output space for the call operations. Note two major differences:
- Besu reports
null
when a call operation ends because of aSTOP
,HALT
,REVERT
, running out of instructions, or any exceptional halts. - When a
RETURN
operation returns data of a different length than the space reserved by the call only the data passed to theRETURN
operation is reported. Other implementations will include pre-existing memory data or trim the returned data.
Precompiled Contracts Calls
Besu reports only the actual cost of the precompiled contract call in the
cost
field.
Out of Gas
Besu reports the operation that causes out of gas exceptions, including
calculated gas cost. The operation is not executed so no ex
values are
reported.
