* This version has many improvements over the original @izqui's library like using REVERT instead of THROWing on failed calls.
* It also implements the awesome design pattern for initializing code as seen in Gnosis Safe Factory: https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts/blob/master/contracts/ProxyFactory.sol

Very cheap to deploy (66k gas) forwarder contracts that can clone any contract and still have their own storage

// Forwarder is slightly modified to only return 256 bytes (8 normal returns)
// Deployed Factory in Kovan: https://kovan.etherscan.io/address/0xaebc118657099e2110c90494f48b3d21329b23eb

An updated summary on the different ways one could have two contracts interact (DELEGATECALL, STATICCALL, libraries, all that stuff) with clear pros/cons for each (gas cost, whether it requires EVM assembly directives, etc)

Question by /u/drcode

I won't talk about low-level opcodes here because of the brevity of the answer. In general, there are four ways functions can be called in Solidity:
