* IC: first steps towards 'nim check --def --ic:on'
* IC navigator: deduplicate output lines
* IC navigator: progress
* IC navigator: use a different nimcache entry
* IC navigator: special logic for templates/macros
* IC navigator: proper error messages
* IC navigator: prepare for testing code; document only what currently works somewhat
* WIP: an optimizer for ARC
* do not optimize away destructors in 'finally' if unstructured control flow is involved
* optimized the optimizer
* minor code cleanup
* first steps to .cursor inference
* cursor inference: big steps to a working solution
* baby steps
* better .cursor inference
* new feature: expandArc for easy inspection of the AST after ARC transformations
* added topt_cursor test
* adapt tests
* cleanups, make tests green
* optimize common traversal patterns
* moved test case
* fixes .cursor inference so that npeg compiles once again
* cursor inference: more bugfixes

* Crude VM profiler
* Added --profileVM flag, refactoring
* fixed FileLine hash
* Use TLineInfo instead of own FileLine, updated formatting
* Refactoring, moved PStackFrame to vmdefs for cleaner data structure
* Moved vmprofiler to separate file
* Simplified TLineInfo hash, use toFileLineCol for output
* Hash
* Moved profile data into Config, dump only once at end of run
* Changed profile output header to show '#instr' instead of 'count'
* Do not accumulate instrcount for non-top frames

* `nim doc --backend:js|cpp...`
`nim doc --doccmd:'-d:foo --threads:on'`
`nim r --backend:cpp...` (implies --run --usenimcache)
* --usenimcache works with all targets
* --docCmd:skip now skips compiling snippets; 50X speedup for doc/manual.rst
* stacktraces can now show custom runtime msgs
* improve tests/stdlib/tstackframes.nim
* fix test for --gc:arc
* test --stacktraceMsgs:on and --stacktraceMsgs:off
* --stacktracemsgs:off by default
* 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
* 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
* 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
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.
* new .gensym implementation
* make astspec test green again
* introduce a --useVersion switch to group compatibility switches
* fixes#10180
* fixes#11494
* fixes#11483
* object constructor fields and named parameters are also not gensym'ed
* disabled broken package
