使用编译器

使用命令行编译器

备注

这一节并不适用于 solcjs

Basic usage

solc 是 Solidity 源码库的构建目标之一,它是 Solidity 的命令行编译器。你可使用 solc --help 命令来查看它的所有选项的解释。该编译器可以生成各种输出,范围从简单的二进制文件、汇编文件到用于估计“gas”使用情况的抽象语法树(解析树)。如果你只想编译一个文件,你可以运行 solc --bin sourceFile.sol 来生成二进制文件。 如果你想通过 solc 获得一些更高级的输出信息,可以通过 solc -o outputDirectory --bin --ast --asm sourceFile.sol 命令将所有的输出都保存到一个单独的文件夹中。

Optimizer options

Before you deploy your contract, activate the optimizer while compiling using solc --optimize --bin sourceFile.sol. By default, the optimizer will optimize the contract for 200 runs. If you want to optimize for initial contract deployment and get the smallest output, set it to --runs=1. If you expect many transactions and don’t care for higher deployment cost and output size, set --runs to a high number.

This parameter has effects on the following (this might change in the future):

  • the size of the binary search in the function dispatch routine

  • the way constants like large numbers or strings are stored

Path remapping

命令行编译器会自动从文件系统中读取并导入的文件,但同时,它也支持通过 prefix=path 选项将路径重定向。比如:

solc github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/=/usr/local/lib/dapp-bin/ =/usr/local/lib/fallback file.sol

这实质上是告诉编译器去搜索 /usr/local/lib/dapp-bin 目录下的所有以 github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/ 开头的文件,如果编译器找不到这样的文件,它会接着读取 /usr/local/lib/fallback 目录下的所有文件(空前缀意味着始终匹配)。solc 不会从位于重定向目标之外和显式指定的源文件所在目录之外的文件系统读取文件,所以,类似 import "/etc/passwd"; 这样的语句,编译器只会在你添加了 =/ 选项之后,才会尝试到根目录下加载 /etc/passwd 文件。

如果重定向路径下存在多个匹配,则选择具有最长公共前缀的那个匹配。

When accessing the filesystem to search for imports, all paths are treated as if they were fully qualified paths. This behaviour can be customized by adding the command line option --base-path with a path to be prepended before each filesystem access for imports is performed. Furthermore, the part added via --base-path will not appear in the contract metadata.

出于安全原因,编译器限制了它可以访问的目录。在命令行中指定的源文件的路径(及其子目录)和通过重定向定义的路径可用于 import 语句,其他的则会被拒绝。额外路径(及其子目录)可以通过 --allow-paths /sample/path,/another/sample/path 进行配置。

Everything inside the path specified via --base-path is always allowed.

Library linking

If your contracts use libraries, you will notice that the bytecode contains substrings of the form __$53aea86b7d70b31448b230b20ae141a537$__. These are placeholders for the actual library addresses. The placeholder is a 34 character prefix of the hex encoding of the keccak256 hash of the fully qualified library name. The bytecode file will also contain lines of the form // <placeholder> -> <fq library name> at the end to help identify which libraries the placeholders represent. Note that the fully qualified library name is the path of its source file and the library name separated by :. You can use solc as a linker meaning that it will insert the library addresses for you at those points:

Either add --libraries "file.sol:Math:0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 file.sol:Heap:0xabCD567890123456789012345678901234567890" to your command to provide an address for each library (use commas or spaces as separators) or store the string in a file (one library per line) and run solc using --libraries fileName.

If solc is called with the option --standard-json, it will expect a JSON input (as explained below) on the standard input, and return a JSON output on the standard output. This is the recommended interface for more complex and especially automated uses. The process will always terminate in a “success” state and report any errors via the JSON output. The option --base-path is also processed in standard-json mode.

If solc is called with the option --link, all input files are interpreted to be unlinked binaries (hex-encoded) in the __$53aea86b7d70b31448b230b20ae141a537$__-format given above and are linked in-place (if the input is read from stdin, it is written to stdout). All options except --libraries are ignored (including -o) in this case.

警告

Manually linking libraries on the generated bytecode is discouraged because it does not update contract metadata. Since metadata contains a list of libraries specified at the time of compilation and bytecode contains a metadata hash, you will get different binaries, depending on when linking is performed.

You should ask the compiler to link the libraries at the time a contract is compiled by either using the --libraries option of solc or the libraries key if you use the standard-JSON interface to the compiler.

备注

The library placeholder used to be the fully qualified name of the library itself instead of the hash of it. This format is still supported by solc --link but the compiler will no longer output it. This change was made to reduce the likelihood of a collision between libraries, since only the first 36 characters of the fully qualified library name could be used.

Setting the EVM version to target

When you compile your contract code you can specify the Ethereum virtual machine version to compile for to avoid particular features or behaviours.

警告

Compiling for the wrong EVM version can result in wrong, strange and failing behaviour. Please ensure, especially if running a private chain, that you use matching EVM versions.

On the command line, you can select the EVM version as follows:

solc --evm-version <VERSION> contract.sol

In the standard JSON interface, use the "evmVersion" key in the "settings" field:

{
  "sources": { ... },
  "settings": {
    "optimizer": { ... },
    "evmVersion": "<VERSION>"
  }
}

Target options

Below is a list of target EVM versions and the compiler-relevant changes introduced at each version. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed between each version.

  • homestead
    • (oldest version)

  • tangerineWhistle
    • Gas cost for access to other accounts increased, relevant for gas estimation and the optimizer.

    • All gas sent by default for external calls, previously a certain amount had to be retained.

  • spuriousDragon
    • Gas cost for the exp opcode increased, relevant for gas estimation and the optimizer.

  • byzantium
    • Opcodes returndatacopy, returndatasize and staticcall are available in assembly.

    • The staticcall opcode is used when calling non-library view or pure functions, which prevents the functions from modifying state at the EVM level, i.e., even applies when you use invalid type conversions.

    • It is possible to access dynamic data returned from function calls.

    • revert opcode introduced, which means that revert() will not waste gas.

  • constantinople
    • Opcodes create2`, ``extcodehash, shl, shr and sar are available in assembly.

    • Shifting operators use shifting opcodes and thus need less gas.

  • petersburg
    • The compiler behaves the same way as with constantinople.

  • istanbul (default)
    • Opcodes chainid and selfbalance are available in assembly.

  • berlin (experimental)

编译器输入输出JSON描述

下面展示的这些JSON格式是编译器API使用的,当然,在 solc 上也是可用的。有些字段是可选的(参见注释),并且它们可能会发生变化,但所有的变化都应该是后向兼容的。

编译器API需要JSON格式的输入,并以JSON格式输出编译结果。

注释是不允许的,这里仅用于解释目的。

Compiler tools

solidity-upgrade

solidity-upgrade can help you to semi-automatically upgrade your contracts to breaking language changes. While it does not and cannot implement all required changes for every breaking release, it still supports the ones, that would need plenty of repetitive manual adjustments otherwise.

备注

solidity-upgrade carries out a large part of the work, but your contracts will most likely need further manual adjustments. We recommend using a version control system for your files. This helps reviewing and eventually rolling back the changes made.

警告

solidity-upgrade is not considered to be complete or free from bugs, so please use with care.

How it works

You can pass (a) Solidity source file(s) to solidity-upgrade [files]. If these make use of import statement which refer to files outside the current source file’s directory, you need to specify directories that are allowed to read and import files from, by passing --allow-paths [directory]. You can ignore missing files by passing --ignore-missing.

solidity-upgrade is based on libsolidity and can parse, compile and analyse your source files, and might find applicable source upgrades in them.

Source upgrades are considered to be small textual changes to your source code. They are applied to an in-memory representation of the source files given. The corresponding source file is updated by default, but you can pass --dry-run to simulate to whole upgrade process without writing to any file.

The upgrade process itself has two phases. In the first phase source files are parsed, and since it is not possible to upgrade source code on that level, errors are collected and can be logged by passing --verbose. No source upgrades available at this point.

In the second phase, all sources are compiled and all activated upgrade analysis modules are run alongside compilation. By default, all available modules are activated. Please read the documentation on available modules for further details.

This can result in compilation errors that may be fixed by source upgrades. If no errors occur, no source upgrades are being reported and you’re done. If errors occur and some upgrade module reported a source upgrade, the first reported one gets applied and compilation is triggered again for all given source files. The previous step is repeated as long as source upgrades are reported. If errors still occur, you can log them by passing --verbose. If no errors occur, your contracts are up to date and can be compiled with the latest version of the compiler.

override

0.6.0

When overriding a function or modifier, the new keyword override must be used.

dotsyntax

0.7.0

The following syntax is deprecated: f.gas(...)(), f.value(...)() and (new C).value(...)(). Replace these calls by f{gas: ..., value: ...}() and (new C){value: ...}().

now

0.7.0

The now keyword is deprecated. Use block.timestamp instead.

constructor-visibility

0.7.0

Removes visibility of constructors.

Please read 0.5.0 release notes, 0.6.0 release notes and 0.7.0 release notes and 0.8.0 release notes for further details.

Synopsis

Usage: solidity-upgrade [options] contract.sol

Allowed options:
    --help               Show help message and exit.
    --version            Show version and exit.
    --allow-paths path(s)
                         Allow a given path for imports. A list of paths can be
                         supplied by separating them with a comma.
    --ignore-missing     Ignore missing files.
    --modules module(s)  Only activate a specific upgrade module. A list of
                         modules can be supplied by separating them with a comma.
    --dry-run            Apply changes in-memory only and don't write to input
                         file.
    --verbose            Print logs, errors and changes. Shortens output of
                         upgrade patches.
    --unsafe             Accept *unsafe* changes.

Example

Assume that you have the following contract in Source.sol:

pragma solidity >=0.6.0 <0.6.4;
// This will not compile after 0.7.0
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
contract C {
    // FIXME: remove constructor visibility and make the contract abstract
    constructor() internal {}
}

contract D {
    uint time;

    function f() public payable {
        // FIXME: change now to block.timestamp
        time = now;
    }
}

contract E {
    D d;

    // FIXME: remove constructor visibility
    constructor() public {}

    function g() public {
        // FIXME: change .value(5) =>  {value: 5}
        d.f.value(5)();
    }
}
Required changes

The above contract will not compile starting from 0.7.0. To bring the contract up to date with the current Solidity version, the following upgrade modules have to be executed: constructor-visibility, now and dotsyntax. Please read the documentation on available modules for further details.

Running the upgrade

It is recommended to explicitly specify the upgrade modules by using --modules argument.

$ solidity-upgrade --modules constructor-visibility,now,dotsyntax Source.sol

The command above applies all changes as shown below. Please review them carefully (the pragmas will have to be updated manually.)

pragma solidity ^0.7.0;
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
abstract contract C {
    // FIXME: remove constructor visibility and make the contract abstract
    constructor() {}
}

contract D {
    uint time;

    function f() public payable {
        // FIXME: change now to block.timestamp
        time = block.timestamp;
    }
}

contract E {
    D d;

    // FIXME: remove constructor visibility
    constructor() {}

    function g() public {
        // FIXME: change .value(5) =>  {value: 5}
        d.f{value: 5}();
    }
}
