From bbf7657b315cbac2113f8034692177b3b540a2f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bobby Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:07:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(soroban): implement four analyzer rules (#775, #776, #777, #778) - #775 UnnecessaryCloningRule: detects avoidable .clone() calls on Soroban types (Vec, Map, Bytes, String, Address) and flags functions with multiple clones or clones of expensive host-object types. - #776 MemoryAllocationRule: detects repeated heap allocations within a function and allocations that appear inside loop bodies, both of which inflate metered CPU/memory resource consumption. - #777 InefficientErrorConstructionRule: detects string formatting, heap allocations, and repeated Err() constructions on error paths that add avoidable overhead on every failing invocation. - #778 EventEmissionCostRule: detects frequent event emission, large payload types (Vec/Map/Bytes/String), and in-loop event emissions that multiply per-iteration ledger footprint costs. All four rules implement SorobanRule, are registered in SorobanRuleEngine::add_default_rules(), and are exported from soroban/mod.rs and lib.rs.
