process_call
~~~~~~~~~~~~


.. function:: process_call(caller: ethereum.eth_types.Address, target: ethereum.eth_types.Address, data: bytes, value: ethereum.base_types.U256, gas: ethereum.base_types.U256, depth: ethereum.base_types.Uint, env: ethereum.vm.Environment) -> Tuple[ethereum.base_types.U256, List[ethereum.eth_types.Log]]
   :noindexentry:

   Executes a call from the `caller` to the `target` in a new EVM instance.

   :param caller: Account which initiated this call.
   :param target: Account whose code will be executed.
   :param data: Array of bytes provided to the code in `target`.
   :param value: Value to be transferred.
   :param gas: Gas provided for the code in `target`.
   :param depth: Number of call/contract creation environments on the call stack.
   :param env: External items required for EVM execution.

   :returns: **output** -- The tuple `(gas_left, logs)`, where `gas_left` is the remaining gas
             after execution, and logs is the list of `eth1spec.eth_types.Log`
             generated during execution.
   :rtype: `Tuple[U256, List[eth1spec.eth_types.Log]]`
