[RPC] incorrect logIndex in logs received from eth_getfilterchanges

[debris]

logIndex: QUANTITY - integer of the log index position in the block. null when its pending log.

Currently it's always 0.

Steps to reproduce:

• create multiple transactions. Make each one create an event.
• mine them in the same block
• event when transactionIndex is > 0, logIndex is 0

{
  "address": "0xfe69e6f32a2a02b3169b072a7631ff33bf472ed0",
  "blockNumber": 115,
  "logIndex": 0,
  "blockHash": "0x7dcaec77bdc5bd3dc1c96cdc3504ed23dc6132ea756ab3cb56a2ddaccae432d5",
  "transactionHash": "0x09abbb095230e93b725929a8671a6c7e8ba51d7b8f3e4ae54db1ca7135ede61d",
  "transactionIndex": 4,
  "event": "Incremented",
  "args": {
    "odd": true,
    "x": "91"
  }
}

Thanks for that find 👍

[tgerring]

@obscuren I don't see the Index modified anywhere in core/state/log.go or core/filters.go. Is there somewhere else events might be processed where this is set? If not, I suspect this is simply not being tracked and defaults to 0 as a uint.

[obscuren]

This might have been accidentally removed when the log messages were re-written. It should be done prior to storing the receipts to the database in the BlockProcessor.processWithParent

[tgerring]

@debris Can you provide some example RPC calls to create the logs?

[tgerring]

Using geth javascript console

primary = registrar.addr('tg')
contract = eth.compile.solidity("contract FireLog{event Deposit(address from, uint value); function() { if (msg.value > 0) Deposit(msg.sender, msg.value);}}").FireLog
// 0xba3fd30d9765a943d4f6a6ec513c84193ebfa598
twocontract = eth.compile.solidity("contract TwoLogs{ event Deposit(address from, uint value); event BigSpender(uint value); function() {Deposit(msg.sender, msg.value); if (msg.value > 100) BigSpender(msg.value);}}").TwoLogs
// 0x5de875d850afc78180b6f6cb054089c2461cee8d
onecontractaddress = eth.sendTransaction({from:primary,data:contract.code,gas:1000000,gasPrice:web3.toWei(10, "szabo")})
twocontractaddress = eth.sendTransaction({from:primary,data:twocontract.code,gas:1000000,gasPrice:web3.toWei(10, "szabo")})

Getting multiple log fires into a single block:

eth.sendTransaction({from:primary,to:onecontractaddress,value:99,gasPrice:web3.toWei(10, "szabo")})
eth.sendTransaction({from:primary,to:onecontractaddress,value:100,gasPrice:web3.toWei(10, "szabo")})
eth.sendTransaction({from:primary,to:twocontractaddress,value:101,gasPrice:web3.toWei(10, "szabo")})
eth.sendTransaction({from:primary,to:twocontractaddress,value:102,gasPrice:web3.toWei(10, "szabo")})

I see this output (a log i patched in):

Would you expect logIndex to increment as "log index" indicates? If not, what behaviour would you expect?

@obscuren I finally triggered some outputs where Index (last column) is set to something besides 0, but it doesn't make much sense at first glance:

[tgerring]

@debris @frozeman Can you describe how the ordering should be? Is it simply 0...N for all logs in that block sorted first by transaction index? i.e, if transaction 0 contains 2 logs and transaction 1 contains 1 log and transaction 3 contains 1 log, then the logs would be ordered as such:

logindex txindex
0 0
1 1
2 1
3 2

[frozeman]

@obscuren could you have a look, as i don't know even what the log index is anyway.
but i guess the log index is for each transaction. e.g. if you have two transactions and both have only one log, then the log index for both would be 0.

if one transactions generated two logs, then the index would be 0 and 1.

So its basically the index of the logs in a transaction receipt (which can only belong to one transaction)

This number would only make really sense when we have eth_getReceipt implemented. See: #1042, which returns you an array of logs generated by that transaction.

[tgerring]

@frozeman if neither you nor @debris know what this is used for, I would nominate to remove it. As a simple counter 0...N of the collection it's pretty useless. However, if it is used to indicate the order of the logs being created within each transaction, then we can be explicit about ordering without relying on the collection being properly sorted.

cc: @wanderer

[frozeman]

I don't fully agree. If the log index specifies the index position in the receipt log array, then this information helps to identify and match logs within a transaction receipt.

As well as helps to understand at which order logs were caused by a transaction.

[debris]

0 0
1 1
2 1
3 2

This is the correct ordering according to the current version of wiki.

As far as I know logIndex was introduced to distinguish two logs (which might be the same) created within same transaction. So ordering logs within transaction is also sufficient. For me it doesn't matter what ordering we will choose as long as it will be properly described in wiki.

[tgerring]

My vote would be for log index to be the order of the logs within each transaction. For most transactions that trigger only a single log, this value would be 0. When more than 1 log is triggered in a single transaction, it would increment by 1.

Combined with the TxIndex, the order of logs in a block should always be consistent when sorted by the key set (TxIndex, LogIndex). This change may be "harder" but I believe to be more semantically correct.

[frozeman]

I agree log index should be the index of the log within a transaction. So agree to what you described @tgerring

Because this will make specially sense if we have eth_getReceipt working

[tgerring]

👍 But i think this belongs into its own issue. (But it internally might be connected)

I see that the problem is still not resolved. Any update on this?

See #1545

Two transactions:

First transaction creates 1 log, second transaction creates 2 (multi sig). Both logs are mined in the same block.

[frozeman]

:1 but array start with 0, so the log index should start with 0 too, so you can map it to the right log for example.

[frozeman]

Ah is see. Actual the log index should be a representation of the index in the receipts array IMO, otherwise i'm not sure what this log index is supposed to be used for. (rather than mapping it to the right log in a receipt)

Or is there any other use for knowing that log x came after log y? I can see it be useful, but then you can't map logs anymore back to its receipts position.

[obscuren]

It was wrong. I'm updating the comment now

[frozeman]

Ok, you changed the receipt position. So what is now the correct index? with what are we going?

logIndex == pos in receipt
or
logIndex == pos of log in this contract in this block
?

[tgerring]

I thought we had discussed above that logIndex was the log position within the receipt, so as to distinguish multiple logs firing as the result of the same transaction
