* 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
* fix#13218: avoid some irrelevant warnings for nim doc,rst2html
* suppress warnRedefinitionOfLabel for nim doc
* lots of fixes for UnusedImport warnings
* 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
* make SuccessX show project file + output file
* address comments
* fix test and add `result.err = reNimcCrash` otherwise hard to see where reNimcCrash used
* address comments
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
* conversions to unsigned numbers are not checked anymore; implements / fixes https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/175
* change the spec yet again to be less consistent but to make more sense; updated the changelog
The compiler can now correctly find the project file of a nimble package.
The algorithm is based on what used by nim.nvim, which has yielded good
results.
This can be used to let nimsuggest users know which project is
nimsuggest being in charge of, so they can know when should a new
nimsuggest instance be spawned.
An additional feature is to debug the project file finding feature.
* 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
