PRAGMA VERSION

In the contracts, floating pragmas should not be used. Contracts should be deployed with the same compiler version and flags that they have been tested with thoroughly. Locking the pragma helps to ensure that contracts do not accidentally get deployed using, for example, an outdated compiler version that might introduce bugs that affect the contract system negatively.

G-01 - Don't Initialize Variables with Default Value

Description

Uninitialized variables are assigned with the types default value.

Explicitly initializing a variable with it's default value costs unnecesary gas.

G-02 <ARRAY>.LENGTH SHOULD NOT BE LOOKED UP IN EVERY LOOP OF A FORLOOP

The overheads outlined below are PER LOOP, excluding the first loop

  • storage arrays incur a Gwarmaccess (100 gas)
  • memory arrays use MLOAD (3 gas)
  • calldata arrays use CALLDATALOAD (3 gas)

Caching the length changes each of these to a DUP<N> (3 gas), and gets rid of the extra DUP<N> needed to store the stack offset

G-03 REQUIRE()/REVERT() STRINGS LONGER THAN 32 BYTES COST EXTRA GAS

Each extra memory word of bytes past the original 32 incurs an MSTORE which costs 3 gas

require(state(proposalId) != ProposalState.Executed, 'NounsDAO::veto: cannot veto executed proposal');

G-04 ++I/I++ SHOULD BE UNCHECKED{++I}/UNCHECKED{I++} WHEN IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO OVERFLOW, AS IS THE CASE WHEN USED IN FORAND WHILELOOPS

The unchecked keyword is new in solidity version 0.8.0, so this only applies to that version or higher, which these instances are. This saves 30-40 gas per loop
