* 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
* introduce temporary <//> for 'owned' to get this compile with 0.19
* make newTable[string, owned Node]() compile (but it crashes)
* make sink/owned parameters consistent
* make actiontable test compile again
* VM: support sytem.move; makes 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
