Fully implements https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/125
Follow-up of: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18642 (for internal links)
and https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/20127.
Overview
--------
Explicit import-like directive is required, called `.. importdoc::`.
(the syntax is % RST, Markdown will use it for a while).
Then one can reference any symbols/headings/anchors, as if they
were in the local file (but they will be prefixed with a module name
or markup document in link text).
It's possible to reference anything from anywhere (any direction
in `.nim`/`.md`/`.rst` files).
See `doc/docgen.md` for full description.
Working is based on `.idx` files, hence one needs to generate
all `.idx` beforehand. A dedicated option `--index:only` is introduced
(and a separate stage for `--index:only` is added to `kochdocs.nim`).
Performance note
----------------
Full run for `./koch docs` now takes 185% of the time before this PR.
(After: 315 s, before: 170 s on my PC).
All the time seems to be spent on `--index:only` run, which takes
almost as much (85%) of normal doc run -- it seems that most time
is spent on file parsing, turning off HTML generation phase has not
helped much.
(One could avoid it by specifying list of files that can be referenced
and pre-processing only them. But it can become error-prone and I assume
that these linke will be **everywhere** in the repository anyway,
especially considering https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/478.
So every `.nim`/`.md` file is processed for `.idx` first).
But that's all without significant part of repository converted to
cross-module auto links. To estimate impact I checked the time for
`doc`ing a few files (after all indexes have been generated), and
everywhere difference was **negligible**.
E.g. for `lib/std/private/osfiles.nim` that `importdoc`s large
`os.idx` and hence should have been a case with relatively large
performance impact, but:
* After: 0.59 s.
* Before: 0.59 s.
So Nim compiler works so slow that doc part basically does not matter :-)
Testing
-------
1) added `extlinks` test to `nimdoc/`
2) checked that `theindex.html` is still correct
2) fixed broken auto-links for modules that were derived from `os.nim`
by adding appropriate ``importdoc``
Implementation note
-------------------
Parsing and formating of `.idx` entries is moved into a dedicated
`rstidx.nim` module from `rstgen.nim`.
`.idx` file format changed:
* fields are not escaped in most cases because we need original
strings for referencing, not HTML ones
(the exception is linkTitle for titles and headings).
Escaping happens later -- on the stage of `rstgen` buildIndex, etc.
* all lines have fixed number of columns 6
* added discriminator tag as a first column,
it always allows distinguish Nim/markup entries, titles/headings, etc.
`rstgen` does not rely any more (in most cases) on ad-hoc logic
to determine what type each entry is.
* there is now always a title entry added at the first line.
* add a line number as 6th column
* linkTitle (4th) column has a different format: before it was like
`module: funcName()`, now it's `proc funcName()`.
(This format is also propagated to `theindex.html` and search results,
I kept it that way since I like it more though it's discussible.)
This column is what used for Nim symbols resolution.
* also changed details on column format for headings and titles:
"keyword" is original, "linkTitle" is HTML one
* fix paths on Windows + more clear code
* Update compiler/docgen.nim

* Implement Markdown indented code blocks
Additional indentation of 4 spaces makes a block an "indented code block"
(monospaced text without syntax highlighting).
Also `::` RST syntax for code blocks is disabled.
So instead of
```rst
see::
Some code
```
the code block should be written as
```markdown
see:
Some code
```
* Migrate RST literal blocks :: to Markdown's ones
* system refactor, move out 600 lines
* compilation, slice, backwardsindex, misc_num moved out of system
* some procs/types moved into arithmetics, basic_types
* system no longer depends on syncio

* Fix cannot create Windows directory in root
Fixes#20306, a regression bug with `createDir` caused by
`23e0160af2`.
The issue is that, if the path consists only of a drive and a single
directory (e.g. "Y:\nimcache2" in the original issue), then no
directories will be created. This works fine if there are multiple
directories (e.g. "Y:\nimcache2\test").
In the case of "Y:\nimcache2", `omitNext` in `createDir` is `false` on
the last condition in `createDir`. This means that the "nimcache2"
directory will not be created, and no exception will be raised.
Fixed by refactoring to use `parentDirs` iterator instead of iterating
over the string characters. Motivation is reduced code complexity.
Will not test the specific "C:\test" `createDir` case, since there is no
standard Windows drive with write permissions in the root. Creating a
custom drive-mapping to Windows Temp is a non-option. That could mess
up some users running the test.
Added `parentDirs` tests since they are lacking on for POSIX paths.
* Fix `createDir("")` causing error
The change to `createDir` caused `createDir("")` to raise an error,
where it previously didn't. Fixed so `createDir("")` does not fail, and
added test case.
* Add improved Windows UNC path support in std/os
Original issue: `std/os.createDir` tries to create every component of
the given path as a directory. The problem is that `createDir`
interprets every backslash/slash as a path separator. For a UNC path
this is incorrect. E.g. one UNC form is `\\Server\Volume\Path`. It's an
error to create the `\\Server` directory, as well as creating
`\\Server\Volume`.
Add `ntpath.nim` module with `splitDrive` proc. This implements UNC path
parsing as implemented in the Python `ntpath.py` module. The following
UNC forms are supported:
* `\\Server\Volume\Path`
* `\\?\Volume\Path`
* `\\?\UNC\Server\Volume\Path`
Improves support for UNC paths in various procs in `std/os`:
---
* pathnorm.addNormalizePath
* Issue: This had incomplete support for UNC paths
* The UNC prefix (first 2 characters of a UNC path) was assumed to
be exactly `\\`, but it can be `//` and `\/`, etc. as well
* Also, the UNC prefix must be normalized to the `dirSep` argument
of `addNormalizePath`
* Resolution: Changed to account for different UNC prefixes, and
normalizing the prefixes according to `dirSep`
* Affected procs that get tests: `relativePath`, `joinPath`
* Issue: The server/volume part of UNC paths can be stripped when
normalizing `..` path components
* This error should be negligable, so ignoring this
* splitPath
* Now make sure the UNC drive is not split; return the UNC drive as
`head` if the UNC drive is the only component of the path
* Consequently fixes `extractFilename`, `lastPathPart`
* parentDir / `/../`
* Strip away drive before working on the path, prepending the drive
after all work is done - prevents stripping UNC components
* Return empty string if drive component is the only component; this
is the behavior for POSIX paths as well
* Alternative implementation: Just call something like
`pathnorm.normalizePath(path & "/..")` for the whole proc - maybe
too big of a change
* tailDir
* If drive is present in path, just split that from path and return
path
* parentDirs iterator
* Uses `parentDir` for going backwards
* When going forwards, first `splitDrive`, yield the drive field, and
then iterate over path field as normal
* splitFile
* Make sure path parsing stops at end of drive component
* createDir
* Fixed by skipping drive part before creating directories
* Alternative implementation: use `parentDirs` iterator instead of
iterating over characters
* Consequence is that it will try to create the root directory
* isRootDir
* Changed to treat UNC drive alone as root (e.g. "//?/c:" is root)
* This change prevents the empty string being yielded by the
`parentDirs` iterator with `fromRoot = false`
* Internal `sameRoot`
* The "root" refers to the drive, so `splitDrive` can be used here
This adds UNC path support to all procs that could use it in std/os. I
don't think any more work has to be done to support UNC paths. For the
future, I believe the path handling code can be refactored due to
duplicate code. There are multiple ways of manipulating paths, such as
manually searching string for path separator and also having a path
normalizer (pathnorm.nim). If all path manipulation used `pathnorm.nim`,
and path component splitting used `parentDirs` iterator, then a lot of
code could be removed.
Tests
---
Added test file for `pathnorm.nim` and `ntpath.nim`.
`pathnorm.normalizePath` has no tests, so I'm adding a few unit tests.
`ntpath.nim` contains tests copied from Python's test suite.
Added integration tests to `tos.nim` that tests UNC paths.
Removed incorrect `relativePath` runnableExamples from being tested on Windows:
---
`relativePath("/Users///me/bar//z.nim", "//Users/", '/') == "me/bar/z.nim"`
This is incorrect on Windows because the `/` and `//` are not the same
root. `/` (or `\`) is expanded to the drive in the current working
directory (e.g. `C:\`). `//` (or `\\`), however, are the first two
characters of a UNC path. The following holds true for normal Windows
installations:
* `dirExists("/Users") != dirExists("//Users")`
* `dirExists("\\Users") != dirExists("\\\\Users")`
Fixes#19103
Questions:
---
* Should the `splitDrive` proc be in `os.nim` instead with copyright
notice above the proc?
* Is it fine to put most of the new tests into the `runnableExamples`
section of the procs in std/os?
* [skipci] Apply suggestions from code review

* [skip ci] Update lib/pure/os.nim
Co-authored-by: Clay Sweetser <Varriount@users.noreply.github.com>
* Move runnableExamples tests in os.nim to tos.nim
* tests/topt_no_cursor: Change from using splitFile to splitDrive
`splitFile` can no longer be used in the test, because it generates
different ARC code on Windows and Linux. This replaces `splitFile` with
`splitDrive`, because it generates same ARC code on Windows and Linux,
and returns a tuple. I assume the test wants a proc that returns a
tuple.
* Drop copyright attribute to Python

The Nim manual says that an implicit conversion to cstring will
eventually not be allowed [1]:
A Nim `string` is implicitly convertible to `cstring` for convenience.
[...]
Even though the conversion is implicit, it is not *safe*: The garbage collector
does not consider a `cstring` to be a root and may collect the underlying
memory. For this reason, the implicit conversion will be removed in future
releases of the Nim compiler. Certain idioms like conversion of a `const` string
to `cstring` are safe and will remain to be allowed.
And from Nim 1.6.0, such a conversion triggers a warning [2]:
A dangerous implicit conversion to `cstring` now triggers a `[CStringConv]` warning.
This warning will become an error in future versions! Use an explicit conversion
like `cstring(x)` in order to silence the warning.
However, some files in this repo produced such a warning. For example,
before this commit, compiling `parsejson.nim` would produce:
/foo/Nim/lib/pure/parsejson.nim(221, 37) Warning: implicit conversion to 'cstring' from a non-const location: my.buf; this will become a compile time error in the future [CStringConv]
/foo/Nim/lib/pure/parsejson.nim(231, 39) Warning: implicit conversion to 'cstring' from a non-const location: my.buf; this will become a compile time error in the future [CStringConv]
This commit resolves the most visible `CStringConv` warnings, making the
cstring conversions explicit.
