* Error -> Defect for defects
The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective,
context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an
exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when
looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding
definition and digging through layers of inheritance.
With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible
to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set
a good example here.
* Fix typeSym.getImpl for ref types
* Fix a codegen issue affecting the test suite of nim-beacon-chain
* Fix tests/stdlib/tjsonmacro
To understand the fix better it may help to take a look
at the history of the replaced code.
The nil check that is removed in this commit was introduced
in another fix that failed to identify the root cause of the
issue - namely that we allow an object type to exist for which
no ast is present:
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/9601/files
The original intention of the code is more obvious here:
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/9538/files
* scope based destructors
* handle 'or' and 'and' expressions properly, see the new test arc/tcontrolflow.nim
* make this branch mergable, logic is disabled for now
* allow defects to be caught even for --exceptions:goto (WIP)
* implemented the new --panics:on|off switch; refs https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/180
* new implementation for integer overflow checking
* produce a warning if a user-defined exception type inherits from Exception directly
* applied Timothee's suggestions; improved the documentation and replace the term 'checked runtime check' by 'panic'
* fixes#13627
* don't inherit from Exception directly
