The fancy tracer PR added a new functionality to reexecute a number of historical blocks for a trace if the state is missing for the requested entity (block, chain, tx). This is 128 by default but can be explicitly set via a tracer config field.
Currently there's a
nil
pointer panic in the old raw tracer because that one does not have aconfig
parameter at all, but the tracing code still pokes aroundconfig.Reexec
. This PR fixes it by checking first whether the config parameter itself was set before trying to poke around its fields.
