Class Invoke

All Implemented Interfaces:
IValidated, IWriteable

public class Invoke extends ATransaction
Transaction class representing the Invoke of an on-chain operation. The command provided may be specified as either:
  • A Form (will be compiled and executed)
  • A pre-compiled Op (will be executed directly, cheaper)
Peers may separately implement functionality to parse and compile a command provided as a String: this must be performed outside the CVM which not provide a parser internally.

    • estimatedEncodingSize

      public int estimatedEncodingSize()
      Description copied from interface: IWriteable
      Estimate the encoded data size for this Cell. Used for quickly sizing buffers. Implementations should try to return a size that is likely to contain the entire object when represented in binary format, including the tag byte.
      Specified by:
      estimatedEncodingSize in interface IWriteable
      Specified by:
      estimatedEncodingSize in class ATransaction
      Returns:
      The estimated size for the binary representation of this object.
    • isCanonical

      public boolean isCanonical()
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Returns true if this Cell is in a canonical format for message writing. Reading or writing a non-canonical value should be considered illegal, but non-canonical objects may be used on a temporary internal basis.
      Overrides:
      isCanonical in class ATransaction
      Returns:
      true if the object is in canonical format, false otherwise
    • print

      public void print(StringBuilder sb)
      Description copied from class: AObject
      Prints this Object to a readable String Representation
      Specified by:
      print in class AObject
      Parameters:
      sb - StringBuilder to append to
    • validateCell

      public void validateCell() throws InvalidDataException
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Validates the local structure and invariants of this cell. Called by validate() super implementation. Should validate directly contained data, but should not validate all other structure of this cell. In particular, should not traverse potentially missing child Refs.
      Specified by:
      validateCell in class ACell
      Throws:
      InvalidDataException - If the Cell is invalid
    • getMaxJuice

      public Long getMaxJuice()
      Description copied from class: ATransaction
      Gets the max juice allowed for this transaction

      Juice limit
    • getRefCount

      public int getRefCount()
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Gets the number of Refs contained within this Cell. This number is final / immutable for any given instance. Contained Refs may be either external or embedded.
      Specified by:
      getRefCount in class ACell
      Returns:
      The number of Refs in this Cell
    • getRef

      public <R extends ACell> Ref<R> getRef(int i)

      Parameters:
      i - Index of ref to get
      Returns:
      The Ref at the specified index
    • updateRefs

      public Invoke updateRefs(IRefFunction func)
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Updates all Refs in this object using the given function. The function *must not* change the hash value of Refs, in order to ensure structural integrity of modified data structures. This is a building block for a very sneaky trick that enables use to do a lot of efficient operations on large trees of smart references. Must return the same object if no Refs are altered.
      Overrides:
      updateRefs in class ACell
      Parameters:
      func - Ref update function
      Returns:
      Cell with updated Refs

      withSequence in class ATransaction
      Parameters:
      newSequence - New sequence number
      Returns:
      Updated transaction, or this transaction if the sequence number is unchanged.
    • withAddress

      public Invoke withAddress(Address newAddress)
      Description copied from class: ATransaction
      Updates this transaction with the specified address

      Specified by:
      getTag in class ACell
      Returns:
      Tag byte for this Cell
