Source files

List of directories and what files do

Note that this is both rough, and may not be updated wel enough.

libevm/

The Ethereum Virtual Machine.

VM

Implements the actual Virtual machine.

ExtEvmFace

Defines a class that the EVM talks too, but doesnt actually implement it. 'null implementation'.

FeeStructure

Defines what the fees for different operations are.

libethcore/

Shared, core components to the Ethereum and (potentially) other related projects. Includes RLP and the Merkle Patricia tree.

.cpp and .h files here:

Dagger

Algorithm to mine and verify the 'mined bit' of the blocks.

BlockInfo

Reading a block RLP data, verifying internals; whether accounts have enough ether to pay for the sent ethers plus maximum possible gas cost, aswel as checking for the global gas limits, uncles, etcetera.

NOTE: actually dont see it check the value+gas cost thing..

CommonEth

Contains the private/public KeyPair, and the different units of ether.

Apparently no verify or sign function on the KeyPair, possibly the function is used using the public/private key directly.

Instructions

Contains a list of all the instructions names and bytes, and eth::disassemble that turns the bytes into a more human readable string.(although not very human readable, being able to recompile higher would be a nice feature.)

(currently no eth::assemble matching eth::disassemble)

Exceptions

Because we all love throwing stuff.

libethsupport/

.cpp and .h files

RLP

Implements the RLP. RLP achieves defining a way to indicating nested lists with blocks of data in them. (Something else looks at the blocks to see how to use it)

TrieDB, TrieCommon

Implements the Patricia tree thing. (or here)

FixedHash

OverlayDB

MemoryDB

UPnP

Log

Handles logging things.

Common

Defines some arrays and sets with names that are easier to type and read, as well as some other simple definitions.

eth/

EthStubServer

Functions that do things with string input, used for JSON rpc commands.
