# Note for reviewer
Most changes are just syntax changes necessary for the new version.
Most important files should be the ones under the `xcm` folder.
# Description
Added XCMv4.
## Removed `Multi` prefix
The following types have been renamed:
- MultiLocation -> Location
- MultiAsset -> Asset
- MultiAssets -> Assets
- InteriorMultiLocation -> InteriorLocation
- MultiAssetFilter -> AssetFilter
- VersionedMultiAsset -> VersionedAsset
- WildMultiAsset -> WildAsset
- VersionedMultiLocation -> VersionedLocation
In order to fix a name conflict, the `Assets` in `xcm-executor` were
renamed to `HoldingAssets`, as they represent assets in holding.
## Removed `Abstract` asset id
It was not being used anywhere and this simplifies the code.
Now assets are just constructed as follows:
```rust
let asset: Asset = (AssetId(Location::new(1, Here)), 100u128).into();
```
No need for specifying `Concrete` anymore.
## Outcome is now a named fields struct
Instead of
```rust
pub enum Outcome {
Complete(Weight),
Incomplete(Weight, Error),
Error(Error),
}
```
we now have
```rust
pub enum Outcome {
Complete { used: Weight },
Incomplete { used: Weight, error: Error },
Error { error: Error },
}
```
## Added Reanchorable trait
Now both locations and assets implement this trait, making it easier to
reanchor both.
## New syntax for building locations and junctions
Now junctions are built using the following methods:
```rust
let location = Location {
parents: 1,
interior: [Parachain(1000), PalletInstance(50), GeneralIndex(1984)].into()
};
```
or
```rust
let location = Location::new(1, [Parachain(1000), PalletInstance(50), GeneralIndex(1984)]);
```
And they are matched like so:
```rust
match location.unpack() {
(1, [Parachain(id)]) => ...
(0, Here) => ...,
(1, [_]) => ...,
}
```
This syntax is mandatory in v4, and has been also implemented for v2 and
v3 for easier migration.
This was needed to make all sizes smaller.
# TODO

xcm-emulator
XCM-Emulator is a tool to emulate XCM program execution using pre-configured runtimes, including those used to run on live networks, such as Kusama, Polkadot, Asset Hubs, et cetera. This allows for testing cross-chain message passing and verifying outcomes, weights, and side-effects. It is faster than spinning up a zombienet and as all the chains are in one process debugging using Clion is easy.
Limitations
As the messages do not physically go through the same messaging infrastructure there is some code that is not being tested compared to using slower E2E tests. In future it may be possible to run these XCM emulated tests as E2E tests (without changes).
As well as the XCM message transport being mocked out, so too are areas around consensus, in particular things like disputes, staking and iamonline events can't be tested.
Alternatives
If you just wish to test execution of various XCM instructions
against the XCM VM then the xcm-simulator (in the Polkadot
repo) is the perfect tool for this.
