Solang - panicked at 'type not allowed'

Question

I am trying to get an Ethereum smart contract up and running for Solana. I'm using solang and it had a few issues that I was able to fix, like Solidity's assembly not working, but I finally ran into something I can't handle.

I run solang build: solang ./lib/FastEcMul.sol --target solana --output build and I get:

thread 'main' panicked at 'type not allowed', src/sema/types.rs:920:18

more detailed, with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 and -v:

info: Solang version v0.1.10

I got no idea, which type is not allowed, or where to find the file src/sema/types.rs:920:18.

However, I managed to compile other .sol file EC.sol, on which the FastEcMul.so is dependent. Yet the result was only bundle.so and .abi file is missing.

link to both files

I'd be grateful for any clue.

Answer 1

I've started looking at this issue. The first issue I can across was the doccomments which were not supported: https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/solang/pull/756

I'll continue looking at the next issue and get back.
