Incorrect block.gaslimit reported #112
Description
The Solidity value block.gaslimit is not the actual block gas limit as reported by the ETH RPC.
How to Reproduce
Deploy the following contract on kitchensink (commit f870555426a40db40788356434c4f11b3d637ea4)
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >=0.8.20;
contract Test {
uint256 public recorded_limit;
function main() public {
recorded_limit = block.gaslimit;
}
}
Then call main and then call recorded_limit – this will return the value 2_000_000_000_000 in kitchensink. When requesting the details of the block where the main call was executed from the ETH RPC proxy (e.g., via eth_getBlockByNumber), then the gasLimit reported in that block is completely different, 1_499_336_586_092_000 in my case.
Expected Outcome
The blocks gasLimit should be the same as the value of the Solidity expression block.gaslimit.
