= XCM Executor

Branch/Release: `release-polkadot-v1.10.0`

Source Code link:https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/release-polkadot-v1.10.0/polkadot/xcm/xcm-executor/src/config.rs[{github-icon},role=heading-link]

== Purpose

`XcmExecutor` is responsible for executing XCM messages locally.

`XcmExecutor` is usually the assignment for `pallet_xcm::Config::XcmExecutor` and is thereby used to execute XCM in that pallet.

NOTE: `XcmExecutor` is not a pallet, but rather it is a `struct` type parameterized by a `Config` trait. The inner config is the `trait Config` which parameterizes the outer config `struct XcmExecutor<Config>`. Both the inner and outer configs are configured in the runtime.

== Inner Config

The inner `trait Config` used to parameterize `XcmExecutor` has the following associated types.

* Handlers:
- `XcmSender` -- How to send an onward XCM message. Type must implement the trait `SendXcm`.
- `AssetTransactor` -- How to withdraw and deposit an asset. Type must implement the trait `TransactAsset`.
- `Trader` --  The means of purchasing xref:glossary.adoc#weight[weight] credit for XCM execution. Type must implement the trait `WeightTrader`.
- `ResponseHandler` -- What to do when a response of a query is found. Type must implement the trait `OnResponse`.
- `AssetTrap` -- The general asset trap handler for when assets are left in the Holding Register at the end of execution. Type must implement the trait `DropAssets`.
- `AssetLocker` --  Handler for asset locking. Type must implement the trait `AssetLock`.
- `AssetExchanger` --  Handler for exchanging assets. Type must implement the trait `AssetExchange`.
- `AssetClaims` -- The handler for when there is an instruction to claim assets. Type must implement the trait `ClaimAssets`.
- `SubscriptionService` -- The handler for version subscription requests. Type must implement the trait `VersionChangeNotifier`.
- `FeeManager` --  Configure the fees. Type must implement the trait `FeeManager`.
- `MessageExporter` -- The method of exporting a message. Type must implement the trait `ExportXcm`.
- `CallDispatcher` -- The call dispatcher used by XCM. Type must implement the trait `CallDispatcher<Self::RuntimeCall>`.
- `HrmpNewChannelOpenRequestHandler` -- Allows optional logic execution for the `HrmpNewChannelOpenRequest` XCM notification.
- `HrmpChannelAcceptedHandler` -- Allows optional logic execution for the `HrmpChannelAccepted` XCM notification.
- `HrmpChannelClosingHandler` -- Allows optional logic execution for the `HrmpChannelClosing` XCM notification.

* Filters:
- `IsReserve` -- Combinations of (Asset, Location) pairs which we trust as reserves. Type must implement the trait `ContainsPair<MultiAsset, MultiLocation>`.
- `IsTeleporter` --  Combinations of (Asset, Location) pairs which we trust as teleporters. Type must implement the trait `ContainsPair<MultiAsset, MultiLocation>`.
- `Aliasers` --   A list of (Origin, Target) pairs allowing a given Origin to be substituted with its corresponding Target pair. Type must implement the trait `ContainsPair<MultiLocation, MultiLocation>`.
- `Barrier` -- Whether or not to execute the XCM at all. Type must implement `ShouldExecute`.
- `UniversalAliases` -- The origin locations and specific universal xref:glossary.adoc#junctions[junctions] to which they are allowed to elevate themselves. Type must implement the trait `Contains<(MultiLocation, Junction)>`.
- `SafeCallFilter` -- The safe call filter for `Transact`. Use this type to explicitly whitelist calls that cannot undergo recursion. Type must implement the trait `Contains<Self::RuntimeCall>`.

* Converters:
- `OriginConverter` -- How to get a call origin from a `OriginKind` value. Type must implement the trait `ConvertOrigin<<Self::RuntimeCall as Dispatchable>::RuntimeOrigin>`.

* Accessors:
- `Weigher` -- The means of determining an XCM message's weight. Type must implement the trait `WeightBounds<Self::RuntimeCall>`.
- `PalletInstancesInfo` -- Information on all pallets. Type must implement the trait `PalletsInfoAccess`.

* Constants:
- `UniversalLocation` --  This chain's Universal Location. Type must implement the trait `Get<InteriorMultiLocation>`.
- `MaxAssetsIntoHolding` -- The maximum number of assets we target to have in the Holding Register at any one time. Type must implement the trait `Get<u32>`.

* Common configs:
- `RuntimeCall`

== Outer Config

The outer `struct XcmExecutor<Config>` configures the following fields:

- `holding` -- Assets allowed in the holding register. Type must be `Assets`.
- `holding_limit` -- The maximum number of assets in the holding register. Type must be `usize`.
- `context` -- Type must be `XcmContext`.
- `trader` -- Type must be `Config::Trader` which must implement the trait `WeightTrader`.
- `error` -- The most recent error result and instruction index into the fragment in which it occurred, if any. Type must be `Option<(u32, XcmError)>`.
- `total_surplus` -- Type must be `Weight`.
- `total_refunded` -- Type must be `Weight`.
- error_handler: Xcm<Config::RuntimeCall>,
- `error_handler_weight` -- Type must be `Weight`.
- `appendix` -- Type must be `Xcm<Config::RuntimeCall>`.
- `appendix_weight` -- Type must be `Weight`.
- `transact_status` -- Type must be `MaybeErrorCode`.
- `fees_mode` -- Type must be `FeesMode`.
