The Solana Program Library (SPL) is a collection of on-chain programs targeting the Sealevel parallel runtime. These programs are tested against Solana's implementation of Sealevel, solana-runtime, and deployed to its mainnet. As others implement Sealevel, we will graciously accept patches to ensure the programs here are portable across all implementations.
Full documentation is available at https://spl.solana.com
- Install the latest Rust stable from https://rustup.rs/
- Install Solana v1.4.7 or later from https://docs.solana.com/cli/install-solana-cli-tools
- Install the
libudev
development package for your distribution (libudev-dev
on Debian-derived distros,libudev-devel
on Redhat-derived).
The normal cargo build is available for building programs against your host machine:
$ cargo build
To build a specific program, such as SPL Token, for the Solana BPF target:
$ cd token/program
$ cargo build-bpf
Unit tests contained within all projects can be run with:
$ cargo test # <-- runs host-based tests
$ cargo test-bpf # <-- runs BPF program tests
To run a specific program's tests, such as SPL Token:
$ cd token/program
$ cargo test # <-- runs host-based tests
$ cargo test-bpf # <-- runs BPF program tests
Integration testing may be performed via the per-project .js bindings. See the token program's js project for an example.
$ cargo clippy
$ ./coverage.sh # Please help! Coverage build currently fails on MacOS due to an XCode `grcov` mismatch...
SPL programs are currently tagged and released manually. Each program is versioned independently of the others, with all new development occurring on master. Once a program is tested and deemed ready for release:
- Increment the version number in the program's Cargo.toml
- Generate a new program ID and replace in
<program>/program-id.md
and<program>/src/lib.rs
- Run
cargo build-bpf <program>
to update relevant C bindings. (Note the location of the generatedspl_<program>.so
for attaching to the Github release.) - Open a PR with these version changes and merge after passing CI.
Program tags are of the form <program>-vX.Y.Z
.
Create the new tag at the version-bump commit and push to the
solana-program-library repository, eg:
$ git tag token-v1.0.0 b24bfe7
$ git push upstream --tags
- Go to GitHub Releases UI
- Click "Draft new release", and enter the new tag in the "Tag version" box.
- Title the release "SPL vX.Y.Z", complete the description, and attach the
spl_<program>.so
binary - Click "Publish release"
Navigate to the program directory and run cargo package
to test the build. Then run cargo publish
.
