Summary:

This pull request addresses an issue where the on_eval method in the EvalTracer trait was calling itself recursively, resulting in infinite recursion. Specifically, the following line:

EvalTracer::<H>::on_eval(self, machine, handle, opcode, position)

was causing the method to call itself indefinitely, which is incorrect and leads to a runtime stack overflow.

Fix:

To fix this issue, we updated the code to call the on_eval method directly on self, since self is the concrete type that implements the EvalTracer trait. The corrected code looks as follows:

impl<'config, H, T: EvalTracer<H>> crate::EvalTracer<State<'config>, H> for T {
	fn on_eval(&mut self, machine: &Machine, handle: &H, opcode: Opcode, position: usize) {
		// Correctly delegate the call to `on_eval` on the concrete implementation of `self`.
		self.on_eval(machine, handle, opcode, position)
	}
}

Importance:

This fix is critical because the original code could have led to infinite recursion, resulting in a stack overflow and potential application crashes. By fixing the recursion and ensuring that the on_eval method is called properly, we improve the stability and reliability of the code.

I'm afraid this PR is likely written by ChatGPT. If not, feel free to contact me again (and in that case I apologize in advance -- there are just some quite specious spamming recently).

The PR itself at most does nothing and reduce clarity.
