Error creating list from attached gas value about neo-python HOT 5 CLOSED

I've also attempted to create a list of length 3000 and the compiler errors out. I'm able to create a list of length 300. The max array size I can create is 1024.

I've also found that the VM multiplies every gas attached by 100 million, so if i attach 2 gas it becomes 200 million.

That multiplication by 100 million is to convert it to the format required by the network protocol.

The max list length is enforced by the VM

I believe the issue is trying to create a list of length 0, which is currently not supported. List lengths are not mutable in the VM, so a list of length 0 would not be very much use!

You could file an issue on the neo-boa project to allow creation of lists with length of 0.

A work around would be to check if entries is greater than 0, and only create a new list in that case.

@localhuman could be interesting to eventually allow mutable lists in neo-python and just work around how it would be done with the VM. For now we'll work around these limitations. Thanks all for the information 👍
