Problem

Usage cost of simple-vote transaction is static (#33269), due to restrictions of being a "simple vote transaction".

Assigning a static usage cost to simple-vote, instead of going to calculation that applies to normal transaction, would simplify code. Also preparing for enhancing normal transaction's usage cost categorization and calculation, without having to worry about accidentally changing vote's cost. Another side benefit is to slightly improve vote cost calculation performance.

Summary of Changes

  • Add enum cost type for Vote and Transaction.
  • Sets simple-vote cost to be statically 3428 CUs

We know upfront that we will only have 1 or 2 of these writable accounts.

Given the size of the other variant, it's probably better to use a size + array[2] here: { num: usize, writable_accounts: [Pubkey; 2] }.

That way we can avoid an allocation entirely.

after #33269 , I am leaning to just give simple_vote a static cost, no need to track vote's writable accounts, their size etc.

Possible that we'd go over account-CU limits if non-vote txs can write to the vote-accounts, right?

right, the whole non-vote tx's cu will be apply to the vote account in that scenario, just follow the usual logic. I bet there are some guards to prevent vote embedded in non-vote transaction. Will dig it between tasks ;)

So looks like it is always allowed to have vote ix included in normal transaction, where the vote shall be processed as usual. So the scenario you mentioned above is possible.

As for SimpleVote to use Vec<Pubkey> or array of two, imo, using vec is fine for current code since cost-model creates a vec of pubkey for writable accounts, then move to TransactionCost.

(Later when making TransactionCost as part of transaction meta, we can get ride of copying pubkey part, instead just holding write account's index.)

probably we want comments here. The actual size is not 0 for loaded accounts. It's I think we just don't want t include the costs for votes

once decided to give simple vote a static cost, maybe of this can be refactored away.

simple vote tx has 8 cu for loaded_accounts_data_size_cost, which is different form this account_data_size that tracks allocating accounts size (eg CreateAccount, Allocate space etc)
