ethereum/solidity v0.8.11

Version 0.8.11

on GitHub

Solidity v0.8.11 adds a first implementation of a Language Server, allows a safer way to perform ABI-encoding and fixes several bugs.

For more details, see the release announcement.

Language Features:

• General: New builtin function abi.encodeCall(functionPointer, (arg1, arg2, ...)) that type-checks the arguments and returns the ABI-encoded function call data.

Compiler Features:

• Commandline Interface: Add --lsp option to get solc to act as a Language Server (LSP) communicating over stdio.

Bugfixes:

• Code Generator: Fix a crash when using @use-src and compiling from Yul to ewasm.
• SMTChecker: Fix internal error when an unsafe target is solved more than once and the counterexample messages are different.
• SMTChecker: Fix soundness of assigned storage/memory local pointers that were not erasing enough knowledge.
• Fix internal error when a function has a calldata struct argument with an internal type inside.
• IR Generator: Fix IR syntax error when copying storage arrays of functions.
