Types

type BlockQC

type BlockQC struct {
	Block *model.Block
	QC    *flow.QuorumCertificate
}

BlockQC is a Block with a QC that pointing to it, meaning a Quorum Certified Block. This implies Block.View == QC.View && Block.BlockID == QC.BlockID

type Finalizer

type Finalizer interface {
	VerifyBlock(*model.Block) error
	IsSafeBlock(*model.Block) bool
	AddBlock(*model.Block) error
	GetBlock(blockID flow.Identifier) (*model.Block, bool)
	GetBlocksForView(view uint64) []*model.Block
	FinalizedBlock() *model.Block
	LockedBlock() *model.Block
}

Finalizer is responsible for block finalization.

type ForkChoice

type ForkChoice interface {

	// AddQC adds a Quorum Certificate to Forks;
	// Errors in case the block referenced by the qc is unknown.
	AddQC(qc *flow.QuorumCertificate) error

	// MakeForkChoice prompts the ForkChoice to generate a fork choice for the
	// current view `curView`. The fork choice is a qc that should be used for
	// building the primaries block.
	//
	// Error return indicates incorrect usage. Processing a QC with view v
	// should result in the PaceMaker being in view v+1 or larger. Hence, given
	// that the current View is curView, all QCs should have view < curView
	MakeForkChoice(curView uint64) (*flow.QuorumCertificate, *model.Block, error)
}

ForkChoice determines the fork-choice. ForkChoice directly interfaces with the Finalizer to query required information (such as finalized View, stored block, etc).

type Forks

type Forks struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Forks implements the hotstuff.Reactor API

func New

func New(finalizer Finalizer, forkchoice ForkChoice) *Forks

New creates a Forks instance

func (*Forks) AddBlock

func (f *Forks) AddBlock(block *model.Block) error

AddBlock passes the block to the finalizer for finalization and gives the QC to forkchoice for updating the preferred parent block

func (*Forks) AddQC

func (f *Forks) AddQC(qc *flow.QuorumCertificate) error

AddQC gives the QC to the forkchoice for updating the preferred parent block

func (*Forks) FinalizedBlock

func (f *Forks) FinalizedBlock() *model.Block

FinalizedBlock returns the latest finalized block

func (*Forks) FinalizedView

func (f *Forks) FinalizedView() uint64

FinalizedView returns the view of the latest finalized block

func (*Forks) GetBlock

func (f *Forks) GetBlock(id flow.Identifier) (*model.Block, bool)

GetBlock returns the block for the given block ID

func (*Forks) GetBlocksForView

func (f *Forks) GetBlocksForView(view uint64) []*model.Block

GetBlocksForView returns all the blocks for a certain view.

func (*Forks) IsSafeBlock

func (f *Forks) IsSafeBlock(block *model.Block) bool

IsSafeBlock returns whether a block is safe to vote for.

func (*Forks) MakeForkChoice

func (f *Forks) MakeForkChoice(curView uint64) (*flow.QuorumCertificate, *model.Block, error)

MakeForkChoice returns the block to build new block proposal from for the current view. the QC is the QC that points to that block.
