This PR introduces a new
clear
method to theKamt
data structure, allowing users to reset the root to an empty node and clear all entries.Changes:
pub fn clear
toKamt
to reset and clear all entries.test_clear
to verify:clear
.Kamt
remains functional post-clear.This addition enhances usability by providing an efficient way to clear the
Kamt
.This functionality is introduced to support the implementation of Transient Storage (EIP-1153) in
builtin-actors
, enabling efficient clearing of the KAMT while adhering to Rust's RAII expectations and best practices. The previous approach attempts of usingtake
/delete
followed bynew
was unsuitable in Rust due to its ownership model and memory safety guarantees. The newclear
method resolves this limitation, providing a safe and efficient way to reset the KAMT without requiring a full reallocation.
