Test plan

I already tested with a local xdc node. And we can also do the same test on devnet/testnet. The plan is as follows.

Run normal eth_call on XDCValidator smart contract's getOwnerCount()

curl http://localhost:8545 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --data '{"method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088","data":"0xef18374a"}, "latest"],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

Expected result : the number of owner

Test override code:

this fake code should return 0xff: 60ff60005360016000f3, no matter calldata. so you can run

curl http://localhost:8545 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --data '{"method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088","data":"0xef18374a"}, "latest", {"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088":{"code":"0x60ff60005360016000f3"}}],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

Expected result : 0xff

Test override state:

ownerCount is stored at key=000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a. So we override it with 0x33 (or any random number) and call getOwnerCount().

Use state inside parameter.

curl http://localhost:8545 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --data '{"method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088","data":"0xef18374a"}, "latest", {"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088":{"state":{"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000033"}}}],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

or Use stateDiff inside parameter.

curl http://localhost:8545 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --data '{"method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088","data":"0xef18374a"}, "latest", {"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000088":{"stateDiff":{"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000033"}}}],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

Expected result : 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000033
