* fix#13150 `nim doc --project` works with duplicate names and with imports below main project file
* add to help; fixup after #13212 isRelativeTo got merged
* fix test tests/compilerapi/tcompilerapi.nim
* remove nimblePkg field; compute on the fly instead
* kochdocs: compiler docs now under compiler/
* --docRoot now has smart default: best among @pkg, @path
* VM: allow certain hardcoded special var variables at CT
* VM: allow all importc var, cast[int](ptr)
* fix tests tests/vm/tstaticprintseq.nim, tests/cpp/t8241.nim
* VM: == works for ptr/pointer nodes
* bugfix: ==, cast now also works for pointer, not just ptr
* VM supports cast PtrLikeKinds <=> PtrLikeKinds / int
* improve cname handling
* fixup + bug fix
* VM: support cast from ref to int
* address comment: opcLdGlobalDeref => opcLdGlobalDerefFFI
* defensive check against typ == nil
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
* cursors: first implementation
* added currently failing test
* .cursor works for doubly linked lists
* make -d:useMalloc work again
* added code to nil out refs in a destructor
* it's now called --gc:arc
* renderer.nim: render nkBreakState properly
* make simple closure iterators work without leaking
* Remove NaN/Inf/NegInf magic
* Make range checks in semConv
* fix the failing line
* fix `firstOrd` and `lastOrd`
* fix `localError`
* remove debug comment
* Cleanup, fix failing test
* make tests green
* mark user defined destructors with sfOverriden to simplify the logic
* refactoring in preparation to merge liftings and generic instantiations for destructors
* ast: introduce nkHiddenTryStmt for destructor generation in order to be able to optimize better the code later on
* renamed 'patterns' switch to 'trmacros' as it was totally misleading before
* destructors: introduce tfCheckedForDestructor flag in preparation of strict =destroy checking
* test for invalid/too late destructor introductions
* liftdestructors: make code robust for nimsuggest
* --newruntime works for hello world again
* newruntime: code generation for closures
