Sometimes users might need the result of multiple tracers for a given tx. This PR introduces the
muxTracer
which allows you to do this. It takes in a list of tracers and their configs and returns each one's corresponding result with one run through the tx:There's a trick that allows you to use the same tracer with different configs by using a nested
muxTracer
(e.g. to get both prestate and statediff):It's possible to directly add support for this to the API, e.g.
debug.traceTransaction('<txhash>', { tracerList: {...} })
but I feel like being able to add this feature without having to modify the API is a big plus.Unrelated commit in the PR: I also moved EVM cancellation to be the API's responsibility instead of the tracer. I feel like it's more fitting.
