计算以太坊中发送交易/调用合约方法需要消耗多少gas

准备工作

1、三个账户，eth.account[0]为默认账户,挖矿所得的奖励都会进入到这个账户

> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0])
736031150000000000000
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[1])
500050000000000000
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[2])
500050000000000000

普通交易所需的gas

> eth.estimateGas({from:eth.accounts[1], to: eth.accounts[2], value:50000000000000})
21001
> eth.gasPrice
20000000000

如上，显示这笔account[1] => account[2] 的交易需要21001 gas, 当前的gasPrice为 20000000000，下面来验证一下 给账户1解锁，发送这笔交易，并开启挖矿打包

> eth.sendTransaction({from:eth.accounts[1], to: eth.accounts[2], value:50000000000000})
I0318 00:24:21.360815 internal/ethapi/api.go:1143] Tx(0x33b58084a35e99245b9c931204a0d161b9d00f9fae5ffb307aff29f200e5cd30) to: 0x49fbd70ca9f90972806c375a111d08950d203f96
"0x33b58084a35e99245b9c931204a0d161b9d00f9fae5ffb307aff29f200e5cd30"

待交易被打包后

> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[1])
499580000000000000
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[2])
500100000000000000

由 cost = gas * gasPrice , （账户1减少的资产 - 账户2增加的资产）/ gasPrice = 消耗的gas，即以下公式应该是成立的

(500050000000000000 - 499580000000000000) - (500100000000000000 - 500050000000000000) = 21001 * 20000000000

然而细心的同学应该会发现，这个公式并不能成功，21001 这个数字怎么看怎么别扭，如果减1 这个公式就成功了！！！继续查看这笔交易的明细

  transactionIndex: 0
}

gasUsed: 21000 这就对上了，那么为什么eth.estimateGas() 计算的结果要多1 呢？这是有原因滴，如果计算出来的值和gasUsed相等，那这笔交易有可能是失败的，但是如果 gasUsed 小于计算出来的值，那么可以判断这笔交易成功了

调用合约方法所需要的gas

普通的转账交易所需要的gas是固定的21000，但是调用合约方法所需要的gas并不一定，总结来说占用的资源（计算量、内存等）越多，那么所需要的gas也就越多。先准备一个最简单的合约

 pragma solidity ^0.4.8;
contract Test {
    uint public num;
    function setNum(uint newNum) {
        num = newNum;
    }
}

部署到私有链，这个过程就不再演示，最后合约实例testInstance。再看看eth.accounts[1] 和 eth.accounts[2] 的资产信息，方面后面计算

> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[1])
499580000000000000
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[2])
500100000000000000

计算调用合约方法setNum() 所需要的gas

> testInstance.setNum.estimateGas(4, {from: eth.accounts[1]})
41645

开始调用

> testInstance.setNum.sendTransaction(4, {from: eth.accounts[1]})

开启挖矿，让这笔交易被打包之后，再来查看下gasUsed 跟上面计算出来的数字是否吻合

可以看到gasUsed:41644 比计算出来的少1，原因上面已经讲过了，这里不再赘述！原文 https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/25897435
