include module type of struct include Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types end

Tezos-specific proof types, as opposed to proofs provided by Irmin. These types are used only by the light mode and it is recommended to avoid extending their usage: only the light mode should use them.

type merkle_leaf_kind = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.merkle_leaf_kind =

| Hole
| Raw_context

Whether an RPC caller requests an entirely shallow Merkle tree (Hole) or whether the returned tree should contain data at the given key (Raw_context)

type raw_context = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.raw_context =

| Key of Tezos_base.TzPervasives.Bytes.t
(*
A leaf, containing a value
*)
| Dir of raw_context Tezos_base.TzPervasives.String.Map.t
(*
A directory, mapping keys to nested raw_contexts
*)
| Cut
(*
An omitted piece, because it is too deep compared to the maximum depth requested in the /chains/<chain_id>/blocks/<block_id/context/raw/bytes RPC
*)

The low-level storage exposed as a tree

type merkle_hash_kind = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.merkle_hash_kind =

| Contents
(*
The kind associated to leaves
*)
| Node
(*
The kind associated to directories
*)

The kind of a merkle_node

type merkle_node = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.merkle_node =

| Hash of merkle_hash_kind * string
(*
A shallow node: just a hash
*)
| Data of raw_context
(*
A full-fledged node containing actual data
*)
| Continue of merkle_tree
(*
An edge to a more nested tree
*)

A node in a merkle_tree

and merkle_tree = merkle_node Tezos_base.TzPervasives.String.Map.t

The type of Merkle tree used by the light mode

val pp_raw_context : Format.formatter -> raw_context -> unit

Proofs are compact representations of trees which can be shared between peers.

This is expected to be used as follows:

A first peer runs a function f over a tree t. While performing this computation, it records: the hash of t (called before below), the hash of f t (called after below) and a subset of t which is needed to replay f without any access to the first peer's storage. Once done, all these informations are packed into a proof of type t that is sent to the second peer.

The second peer generates an initial tree t' from p and computes f t'. Once done, it compares t''s hash and f t''s hash to before and after. If they match, they know that the result state f t' is a valid context state, without having to have access to the full storage of the first peer.

type step = string

The type for file and directory names.

type value = bytes

The type for values.

type index = int

The type of indices for inodes' children.

type hash = Tezos_base.TzPervasives.Context_hash.t

The type for hashes.

type 'a inode = 'a Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.inode = {

length : int;
proofs : (index * 'a) list;

}

The type for (internal) inode proofs.

These proofs encode large directories into a tree-like structure. This reflects irmin-pack's way of representing nodes and computing hashes (tree-like representations for nodes scales better than flat representations).

length is the total number of entries in the children of the inode. It's the size of the "flattened" version of that inode. length can be used to prove the correctness of operations such Tree.length and Tree.list ~offset ~length in an efficient way.

In proofs with version.is_binary = false, an inode at depth 0 has a length of at least 257. Below that threshold a Node tag is used in tree. That threshold is 3 when version.is_binary = true.

proofs contains the children proofs. It is a sparse list of 'a values. These values are associated to their index in the list, and the list is kept sorted in increasing order of indices. 'a can be a concrete proof or a hash of that proof.

In proofs with version.is_binary = true, inodes have at most 2 proofs (indexed 0 or 1).

In proofs with version.is_binary = false, inodes have at most 32 proofs (indexed from 0 to 31).

type 'a inode_extender =
  'a Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.inode_extender =
  {

length : int;
segment : index list;
proof : 'a;

}

The type for inode extenders.

An extender is a compact representation of a sequence of inode which contain only one child. As for inodes, The 'a parameter can be a concrete proof or a hash of that proof.

If an inode proof contains singleton children i_0, ..., i_n such as: {length=l; proofs = [ (i_0, {proofs = ... { proofs = [ (i_n, p) ] }})]}, then it is compressed into the inode extender {length=l; segment = [i_0;..;i_n]; proof=p} sharing the same lenght l and final proof p.

type tree = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.tree =

| Value of value
| Blinded_value of hash
| Node of (step * tree) list
| Blinded_node of hash
| Inode of inode_tree inode
| Extender of inode_tree inode_extender

The type for compressed and partial Merkle tree proofs.

Tree proofs do not provide any guarantee with the ordering of computations. For instance, if two effects commute, they won't be distinguishable by this kind of proofs.

Value v proves that a value v exists in the store.

Blinded_value h proves a value with hash h exists in the store.

Node ls proves that a a "flat" node containing the list of files ls exists in the store.

In proofs with version.is_binary = true, the length of ls is at most 2.

In proofs with version.is_binary = false, the length of ls is at most 256.

Blinded_node h proves that a node with hash h exists in the store.

Inode i proves that an inode i exists in the store.

Extender e proves that an inode extender e exist in the store.

and inode_tree = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.inode_tree =

| Blinded_inode of hash
| Inode_values of (step * tree) list
| Inode_tree of inode_tree inode
| Inode_extender of inode_tree inode_extender

The type for inode trees. It is a subset of tree, limited to nodes.

Blinded_inode h proves that an inode with hash h exists in the store.

Inode_values ls is similar to trees' Node.

Inode_tree i is similar to tree's Inode.

Inode_extender e is similar to trees' Extender.

type kinded_hash = [

| `Value of hash
| `Node of hash

]

The type for kinded hashes.

module Stream = Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.Stream

type stream = Stream.t

type 'a t = 'a Tezos_context_sigs.Context.Proof_types.t = {

version : int;
before : kinded_hash;
after : kinded_hash;
state : 'a;

}

The type for proofs of kind 'a.

A proof p proves that the state advanced from before p to after p. state p's hash is before p, and state p contains the minimal information for the computation to reach after p.

version p is the proof version, it packs several informations.

is_stream discriminates between the stream proofs and the tree proofs.

is_binary discriminates between proofs emitted from Tezos_context(_memory).Context_binary and Tezos_context(_memory).Context.

It will also help discriminate between the data encoding techniques used.

The version is meant to be decoded and encoded using the Tezos_context_helpers.Context.decode_proof_version and Tezos_context_helpers.Context.encode_proof_version.
