* don't be too strict with custom pragma blocks
* cast pragmas: documentation
* added most missing inference query procs to effecttraits.nim
* spec for view types
* spec additions
* refactoring; there are two different kinds of views
* refactorings and spec additions
* enforce that view types are initialized
* enforce borrowing from the first formal parameter
* enforce lifetimes for borrowing of locals
* typo in the manual
* clarify in the implementation what a borrow operation really is
* refactoring: move procs to typeallowed.nim

Introduce ast.newTree{I,IT}
Add test for default params in procs
* Cleanup
* Simplify hoist transformation and expand test
* I don't care about observable stores
* enforce explicit initializations
* cleaner code for the stdlib
* stdlib: use explicit initializations
* make tests green
* algorithm.nim: set result explicitly
* remove out parameters and bring the PR into a mergable state
* updated the changelog
* do not track 'raise Defect' in the .raises: [] clause anymore
* --panics:on maps 'raise Defect' to an unrecoverable fatal error
* make tests green again
* update the documentation too
* 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.
* drnim: tiny progress
* refactoring complete
* drnim: prove .ensures annotations
* Moved code around to avoid code duplication
* drnim: first implementation of the 'old' property
* drnim: be precise about the assignment statement
* first implementation of --assumeUnique
* progress on forall/exists handling
The new mechanism can deal with more complex scenarios such as
not nil field appearing in a non-default case object branch or
a field within a generic object that may depend on a when branch.
The commit also plugs another hole: the user is no longer able
to create illegal default values through seq.setLen(N).
* code cleanups and feature additions
* added basic test and koch/CI integration
* make it build on Unix
* DrNim: now buildable on Unix, only takes 10 minutes, enjoy
* added basic documentation for DrNim which can also be seen as the RFC we're following
* drnim: change the build setup so that drnim.exe ends up in bin/
* makes simple floating point ranges work
* added basic float range check
* drnim: teach Z3 about Nim's range types plus code refactoring
* drnim: make unsigned numbers work
* added and fixed index checking under setLen
* first implementation of .ensures, .invariant and .assume (.requires still missing and so is proc type compatibility checking
* drnim: .requires checking implemented
* drnim: implemented .ensures properly
* more impressive test involving min()
* drnim: check for proc type compatibility and base method compatibility wrt .requires and .ensures
* testament: support for 'pattern <directory>
* koch: uses new <directory> feature of testament
* drnim: added tiny musings about 'old'
* Make testament work with old SSL versions
* koch: add support for 'koch drnim -d:release'
* drnim: preparations for the param.old notation
* ensure capitalize doesn't take an inferred sink parameter
* sink parameter inference: first version, for now disabled. Changed that sink parameters can be consumed multiple times in order to adhere to our spec.
* sink inference can now be disabled with .nosinks; sometimes for proc type interop this is required
* fixes yet another critical DFA bug
* better implementation that also understands if expressions etc
* document sink parameter inference and allow for global disabling
This implements "deterministic" exception handling for Nim based on goto instead of setjmp. This means raising an exception is much cheaper than in C++'s table based implementations. Supports hard realtime systems. Default for --gc:arc and the C target because it's generally a good idea and arc is all about deterministic behavior.
Note: This implies that fatal runtime traps are not catchable anymore! This needs to be documented.
* first implementation of the =trace and =dispose hooks for the cycle collector
* a cycle collector for ARC: progress
* manual: the .acyclic pragma is a thing once again
* gcbench: adaptations for --gc:arc
* enable valgrind tests for the strutils tests
* testament: better valgrind support
* ARC refactoring: growable jumpstacks
* ARC cycle detector: non-recursive algorithm
* moved and renamed core/ files back to system/
* refactoring: --gc:arc vs --gc:orc since 'orc' is even more experimental and we want to ship --gc:arc soonish
