This PR introduces set-based journalling, where the journalling-events are basically stored in per-scoped maps.
Whenever we enter a new call scope, we create a new scoped journal. Changes within the same scoped journal overwrite eachother. For example: if a scope updates a balance to from
6
to5
then4
, then3
, there will only be onepreimage
in the journal. As opposed to the old journal (linear_journal), which would have multiple entries:[ prev: 6, prev: 5, prev:4]
.The linear / appending journal is wasteful on memory, and also slow on rollbacks, since each change is rolled back individually.
I'm planning to run some benchmarks to see if this amounts to any meaningful difference.
