Description
Multiple functions are implemented to calculate the state offset of a given field. However, the offset of a field depends on the offset of the previous field until reaching the first offset. As a given offset depends on the previous offset, the code consumes a lot of gas for values that will never change.
For example, calling
stateOffsetPreimageKey
would consume approximately 444 gas whilestateSize
consume 1096 gas. Both will always return the same value.Note that Go slow and fast implementations do not need this type of optimization as computations are cheaper.
