This version of the compiler brings support for EVM Object Format (experimental), custom storage layouts, ethdebug, and more.

Notable Features

  • Experimental Support for EVM Object Format
  • Support for Custom Storage Layouts
  • Initial Support for ethdebug

Language Features:

  • Allow relocating contract storage to an arbitrary location.

Compiler Features:

  • Error Reporting: Errors reported during code generation now point at the location of the contract when more fine-grained location is not available.
  • ethdebug: Experimental support for instructions and source locations.
  • EVM: Support for the EVM version “Osaka”.
  • EVM Assembly Import: Allow enabling opcode-based optimizer.
  • General: The experimental EOF backend implements a subset of EOF sufficient to compile arbitrary high-level Solidity syntax via IR with optimization enabled.
  • SMTChecker: Support block.blobbasefee and blobhash.
  • SMTChecker: The option --model-checker-print-query no longer requires --model-checker-solvers smtlib2.
  • SMTChecker: Z3 is now a runtime dependency, not a build dependency (except for emscripten build).
  • Yul Parser: Make name clash with a builtin a non-fatal error.
