OutOfRangeError

Represents an invalid bytecode/contract error that occurs when a value is out of the allowable range during EVM execution. This error is typically encountered when an operation results in a value that exceeds the allowed limits.

Value out of range errors can occur due to:

  • Arithmetic operations that result in overflow or underflow.
  • Incorrect handling of large numbers in the smart contract code.
  • Bugs in the smart contract code causing values to exceed their expected range.

To debug a value out of range error:

  1. Review Arithmetic Operations: Ensure that arithmetic operations in the contract are correctly handling large numbers and preventing overflow/underflow.
  2. Check Value Assignments: Verify that values assigned to variables are within the allowable range and properly validated.
  3. Use TEVM Tracing: Utilize TEVM tracing to step through the contract execution and identify where the value goes out of range.
  4. Inspect Contract Logic: Manually inspect the contract code to ensure that all value assignments and operations are within the expected limits.

Example

import { OutOfRangeError } from '@tevm/errors'
try {
  // Some operation that can throw an OutOfRangeError
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof OutOfRangeError) {
    console.error(error.message);
    // Handle the value out of range error
  }
}

Param

A human-readable error message.

Param

Additional parameters for the BaseError.
