// Process processes the state changes according to the Ethereum rules by running
// the transaction messages using the statedb and applying any rewards to both
// the processor (coinbase) and any included uncles.
//
// Process returns the receipts and logs accumulated during the process and
// returns the amount of gas that was used in the process. If any of the
// transactions failed to execute due to insufficient gas it will return an error.
func (p *StateProcessor) Process(block *types.Block, statedb *state.StateDB, cfg vm.Config) (types.Receipts, []*types.Log, uint64, error) {
var (
receipts types.Receipts
usedGas = new(uint64)
header = block.Header()
allLogs []*types.Log
gp = new(GasPool).AddGas(block.GasLimit())
)
// Mutate the block and state according to any hard-fork specs
if p.config.DAOForkSupport && p.config.DAOForkBlock != nil && p.config.DAOForkBlock.Cmp(block.Number()) == 0 {
misc.ApplyDAOHardFork(statedb)
}
// Iterate over and process the individual transactions
for i, tx := range block.Transactions() {
statedb.Prepare(tx.Hash(), block.Hash(), i)
receipt, _, err := ApplyTransaction(p.config, p.bc, nil, gp, statedb, header, tx, usedGas, cfg)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, 0, err
}
receipts = append(receipts, receipt)
allLogs = append(allLogs, receipt.Logs...)
}
// Finalize the block, applying any consensus engine specific extras (e.g. block rewards)
p.engine.Finalize(p.bc, header, statedb, block.Transactions(), block.Uncles(), receipts)
return receipts, allLogs, *usedGas, nil
}
GasPool 是区块 gas 消耗的上限。
这里的主要代码是，for 循环，这里会单独处理每一个交易，调用 ApplyTransaction()，返回 receipt。

// Prepare sets the current transaction hash and index and block hash which is

func (self *StateDB) Prepare(thash, bhash common.Hash, ti int) {
self.thash = thash
self.bhash = bhash
self.txIndex = ti
}

// ApplyTransaction attempts to apply a transaction to the given state database
// and uses the input parameters for its environment. It returns the receipt
// for the transaction, gas used and an error if the transaction failed,
// indicating the block was invalid.
func ApplyTransaction(config *params.ChainConfig, bc ChainContext, author *common.Address, gp *GasPool, statedb *state.StateDB, header *types.Header, tx *types.Transaction, usedGas *uint64, cfg vm.Config) (*types.Receipt, uint64, error) {
msg, err := tx.AsMessage(types.MakeSigner(config, header.Number))
if err != nil {
return nil, 0, err
}
// Create a new context to be used in the EVM environment
context := NewEVMContext(msg, header, bc, author)
// Create a new environment which holds all relevant information
// about the transaction and calling mechanisms.
vmenv := vm.NewEVM(context, statedb, config, cfg)
// Apply the transaction to the current state (included in the env)
_, gas, failed, err := ApplyMessage(vmenv, msg, gp)
if err != nil {
return nil, 0, err
}
// Update the state with pending changes
var root []byte
if config.IsByzantium(header.Number) {
statedb.Finalise(true)
} else {
root = statedb.IntermediateRoot(config.IsEIP158(header.Number)).Bytes()
}
*usedGas += gas
// Create a new receipt for the transaction, storing the intermediate root and gas used by the tx
// based on the eip phase, we're passing whether the root touch-delete accounts.
receipt := types.NewReceipt(root, failed, *usedGas)
receipt.TxHash = tx.Hash()
receipt.GasUsed = gas
// if the transaction created a contract, store the creation address in the receipt.
if msg.To() == nil {
receipt.ContractAddress = crypto.CreateAddress(vmenv.Context.Origin, tx.Nonce())
}
// Set the receipt logs and create a bloom for filtering
receipt.Logs = statedb.GetLogs(tx.Hash())
receipt.Bloom = types.CreateBloom(types.Receipts{receipt})
return receipt, gas, err
}
先将 tx 转化为了 Message 类型，然后构造了 evm 环境，调用其 ApplyMessage 函数，这时的 evm 已经包含了所有需要的数据。
IntermediateRoot 这个不知道什么用处？
后面就是将所有处理结果和日志存储在 receipt 内，如果是创建合约的交易，那么还会存储合约地址。
gas 的消耗，如果只是转账，是固定的 21000，如果是创建合约、或者是跟合约交互，那么跟具体的操作有关，可以看下 params/protocol_params.go 这里的预设值。

// TransitionDb will transition the state by applying the current message and

// Pay intrinsic gas
gas, err := IntrinsicGas(st.data, contractCreation, homestead)
if err != nil {
return nil, 0, false, err
}

}

// vm errors do not effect consensus and are therefor
// not assigned to err, except for insufficient balance
// error.
vmerr error

} else {

st.state.SetNonce(msg.From(), st.state.GetNonce(sender.Address())+1)
ret, st.gas, vmerr = evm.Call(sender, st.to(), st.data, st.gas, st.value)
}
if vmerr != nil {
log.Debug("VM returned with error", "err", vmerr)
// The only possible consensus-error would be if there wasn't
// sufficient balance to make the transfer happen. The first
// balance transfer may never fail.
if vmerr == vm.ErrInsufficientBalance {
return nil, 0, false, vmerr
}
}
st.refundGas()
st.state.AddBalance(st.evm.Coinbase, new(big.Int).Mul(new(big.Int).SetUint64(st.gasUsed()), st.gasPrice))
return ret, st.gasUsed(), vmerr != nil, err
}
preCheck 中会 buyGas，这里会将 limit × price 的 gas 先扣除掉。
后面处理过程中，会计算真实的 gas 消耗：
- IntrinsicGas，是固定消耗，包含基础的转账消耗（或者是创建合约消耗），和 data 数据大小对应的 gas 消耗。
- 调用智能合约的消耗
然后剩余的 gas 会在 refundGas 中归还，最后计算挖矿奖励。
