* 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
* system/gc: don't export markStackAndRegisters
* compiler/cgen: unexport internal symbols
As these functions are Nim-specific walkaround against C's optimization
schemes, they don't serve any purpose being exported.
* compiler/cgen: don't export global var unless marked
* compiler/ccgthreadvars: don't export threadvar unless marked
* tests/dll/visibility: also check for exports
This ensure that these changes don't break manual exports.
* compiler/cgen: hide all variables created for constants
* compiler/ccgtypes: don't export RTTI variables
* compiler/ccgexprs: make all complex const static
* nimbase.h: fix export for windows
* compiler/cgen, ccgthreadvars: export variables correctly
For C/C++ variables, `extern` means that the variable is defined in an
another unit. Added a new N_LIB_EXPORT_VAR to correctly export
variables.
* 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.
- adding forward declarations for reloadable functions within a module - fix compilation errors when 2 such functions reference each other - fixes https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/11608
- preserve permissions of copied executable binaries
