test_precompile_warming()

Documentation for tests/berlin/eip2929_gas_cost_increases/test_precompile_warming.py::test_precompile_warming@b314d18e.

Generate fixtures for these test cases for Amsterdam with:

fill -v tests/berlin/eip2929_gas_cost_increases/test_precompile_warming.py::test_precompile_warming --fork Amsterdam

Call BALANCE of precompile addresses before and after a fork.

According to EIP-2929, when a transaction begins, accessed_addresses is initialized to include: - tx.sender, tx.to - and the set of all precompiles

This test verifies that: 1. Precompiles that exist in the predecessor fork are always "warm" (lower gas cost). 2. New precompiles added in a fork are "cold" before the fork and become "warm" after.
