InvalidJumpError

Represents an invalid bytecode/contract error that occurs when an invalid JUMP operation is executed within the EVM. This error is typically encountered when the jump destination in the bytecode is invalid or does not exist.

Invalid JUMP errors can occur due to:

  • Incorrect jump destinations in the bytecode.
  • Bugs in the smart contract code causing jumps to non-existent locations.
  • Conditional logic errors leading to unexpected jump destinations.

To debug an invalid JUMP error:

  1. Double Check Bytecode: Ensure that the bytecode provided is valid.
  2. Verify Common Configuration: Ensure you are using a common with the correct hardfork and EIPs that support the EVM version you are targeting.
  3. Use TEVM Tracing: Utilize TEVM tracing to step through the bytecode execution and identify where the invalid JUMP occurs.

Example

import { InvalidJumpError } from '@tevm/errors'
try {
  // Some operation that can throw an InvalidJumpError
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof InvalidJumpError) {
    console.error(error.message);
    // Handle the invalid JUMP error
  }
}

Param

A human-readable error message.

Param

Additional parameters for the BaseError.
