Problem
Currently, if a consumer of the SVM API provides a
check_results
parameter that is not the same length as the providedsanitized_txs
, a truncation issue can arise.This is less of an issue if
check_results
is longer thansanitized_txs
, but if it's shorter, then the provided list of transactions will actually be truncated, causing only a subset of them to be processed via SVM.We should have a check to help users avoid this footgun.
Summary of Changes
Provide a check that will panic if the lengths of
check_results
andsanitized_txs
are not the same.Note: I'm not sure if a panic is the best approach or not, but I did use
debug_assert!
. I felt like this didn't quite make sense to be a transaction error, since it's batch-wide, so I went with the pattern I saw in other parts of SVM and program-runtime. Open to alternate suggestions.
