# DUP1 (0x80)

> Duplicate top stack item

<Warning>
  **This page is a placeholder.** All examples on this page are currently AI-generated and are not correct. This documentation will be completed in the future with accurate, tested examples.
</Warning>

## Overview

**Opcode:** `0x80`
**Introduced:** Frontier (EVM genesis)

DUP1 duplicates the top stack item and pushes it to the top of the stack. The original item remains in place.

## Specification

**Stack Input:**

```
[..., value]
```

**Stack Output:**

```
[..., value, value]
```

**Gas Cost:** 3 (GasFastestStep)

**Operation:**

```
value = stack[depth - 1]
stack.push(value)
```

## Behavior

DUP1 copies the top stack item without removing it. Requires stack depth ≥ 1.

Key characteristics:

* Requires stack depth ≥ 1
* Original value unchanged
* New copy pushed to top
* StackUnderflow if depth \< 1
* Stack depth increases by 1

## Examples

### Basic Usage

```typescript theme={null}
import { handler_0x80_DUP1 } from '@tevm/voltaire/evm/stack/handlers';
import { createFrame } from '@tevm/voltaire/evm/Frame';

// Duplicate top item
const frame = createFrame({
  stack: [100n],
  gasRemaining: 1000n
});

const err = handler_0x80_DUP1(frame);

console.log(frame.stack); // [100n, 100n] - top duplicated
console.log(frame.gasRemaining); // 997n (3 gas consumed)
```

### Solidity Compilation

```solidity theme={null}
contract Example {
    function reuse() public pure returns (uint256, uint256) {
        uint256 x = 42;
        // Need x twice
        return (x, x);  // Compiler uses DUP1
        // PUSH1 0x2a
        // DUP1
        // DUP1
    }
}
```

### Assembly Usage

```solidity theme={null}
assembly {
    push1 0x01
    // Stack: [0x01]

    dup1
    // Stack: [0x01, 0x01] - first item duplicated
}
```

## Gas Cost

**Cost:** 3 gas (GasFastestStep)

All DUP1-16 operations cost the same despite different stack depths accessed.

**Comparison:**

| Operation | Gas | Note               |
| --------- | --- | ------------------ |
| DUP1      | 3   | Duplicate 1th item |
| PUSH1-32  | 3   | Same cost tier     |
| POP       | 2   | Cheaper            |

## Common Usage

### Value Reuse

````solidity theme={null}
assembly {
    let x := 100
    dup1  // Reuse x
    dup1  // Reuse again
    // Stack: [100, 100, 100]
    add   // Use first two
    // Stack: [200, 100]
}```

### Efficient Copies

```solidity
// Instead of multiple loads
assembly {
    let value := sload(slot)  // Expensive
    // Use value
    let value2 := sload(slot) // Wasteful!
}

// Use DUP to reuse
assembly {
    let value := sload(slot)  // Load once
    dup1                       // Copy
    // Use both copies
}
````

### Conditional Logic

```solidity theme={null}
assembly {
    let condition := calldataload(0)
    dup1  // Keep condition for later
    iszero
    jumpi(skip)
    // Use condition again
    skip:
}
```

## Stack Depth Requirements

### Minimum Depth

```solidity theme={null}
// DUP1 requires 1 items on stack
assembly {
    
    // Only 0 items - DUP1 will fail!
    dup1  // StackUnderflow
}
```

### Safe Usage

```solidity theme={null}
assembly {
    push1 0x01
    // Exactly 1 items - safe
    dup1  // Success
}
```

## Implementation

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="TypeScript">
    ```typescript theme={null}
    /**
     * DUP1 opcode (0x80) - Duplicate 1st stack item
     *
     * Stack: [..., value] => [..., value, value]
     * Gas: 3 (GasFastestStep)
     */
    export function handler_0x80_DUP1(frame: FrameType): EvmError | null {
      const gasErr = consumeGas(frame, FastestStep);
      if (gasErr) return gasErr;

      if (frame.stack.length < 1) {
        return { type: "StackUnderflow" };
      }

      const value = frame.stack[frame.stack.length - 1];
      const pushErr = pushStack(frame, value);
      if (pushErr) return pushErr;

      frame.pc += 1;
      return null;
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Edge Cases

### Stack Underflow

```typescript theme={null}
// Insufficient stack depth
const frame = createFrame({
  stack: []  // Only 0 items
});

const err = handler_0x80_DUP1(frame);
console.log(err); // { type: "StackUnderflow" }
```

### Stack Overflow

```typescript theme={null}
// Stack at maximum, can't add more
const frame = createFrame({
  stack: new Array(1024).fill(0n)
});

const err = handler_0x80_DUP1(frame);
console.log(err); // { type: "StackOverflow" }
```

### Out of Gas

```typescript theme={null}
// Insufficient gas
const frame = createFrame({
  stack: [100n],
  gasRemaining: 2n  // Need 3
});

const err = handler_0x80_DUP1(frame);
console.log(err); // { type: "OutOfGas" }
```

### Maximum Value

```typescript theme={null}
// Duplicate max uint256
const MAX = (1n << 256n) - 1n;
const frame = createFrame({
  stack: [MAX]
});

handler_0x80_DUP1(frame);
console.log(frame.stack[frame.stack.length - 1]); // MAX (duplicated)
```
