time_t should be a 64-bit type on all relevant windows CRT versions
including mingw-w64 - MSDN recommends against using the 32-bit version
which only is happens when `_USE_32BIT_TIME_T` is explicitly defined -
instead of guessing (and guessing wrong, as happens with recent mingw
versions), we can simply use the 64-bit version always.
Fixes bug #25674.
`replace` read `s[i+1]` for a CRLF pair without ensuring `i+1 <
s.len()`, so a value ending in a lone `\\c` (quoted in `writeConfig`)
raised `IndexDefect`.
- Fix: only treat `\\c\\l` when the following character exists.
- Test: `tests/stdlib/tparsecfg.nim` block bug #25674 — fails before
fix, passes after.
fixes#25626
This pull request introduces a small change to the `mapIt` template in
`sequtils.nim`. The update adds the `used` pragma to the injected `it`
variable, which can help suppress unused variable warnings in certain
cases.
- Added the `used` pragma to the injected `it` variable in the `mapIt`
template to prevent unused variable warnings.
or it should give a better warning or something if `it` is not used
withTimeout currently leaves the “losing” callback installed:
- when fut finishes first, timeout callback remains until timer fires,
- when timeout fires first, fut callback remains on the wrapped future.
Under high-throughput use with large future payloads, this retains
closures/future references longer than needed and causes large transient
RSS growth.
This patch clears the opposite callback immediately once outcome is
decided, reducing retention without changing API behavior.
The rest of the body must be indented in order to fall under the warning
admonition. Right now, only the first part of the warning is inside the
admonition, see [std/streams](https://nim-lang.org/docs/streams.html).
Follow-up to #25506.
As I mentioned there, I was in the middle of an edit, so here it is.
Splitting to a separate doc skipped.
A couple of minor mistakes fixed, some things made a bit more concise
and short.
Adds configurable parser modes to std/parseopt module. **Take two.**
Initially solved the issue of not being able to pass arguments to short
options as you do with most everyday CLI programs, but reading the tests
made me add more features so that some of the behaviour could be changed
and here we are.
**`std/parseopt` now supports three parser modes** via an optional
`mode` parameter in `initOptParser` and `getopt`.
Three modes are provided:
- `NimMode` (default, fully backward compatible),
- `LaxMode` (POSIX-inspired with relaxed short option handling),
- `GnuMode` (stricter GNU-style conventions).
The new modes are marked as experimental in the documentation.
The parser behaviour is controlled by a new `ParserRules` enum, which
provides granular feature flags that modes are built from. This makes it
possible for users with specific requirements to define custom rule sets
by importing private symbols, this is mentioned but clearly marked as
unsupported.
**Backward compatibility:**
The default mode preserves existing behaviour completely, with a single
exception: `allowWhitespaceAfterColon` is deprecated.
Now, `allowWhitespaceAfterColon` doesn't make much sense as a single
tuning knob. The `ParserRule.prSepAllowDelimAfter` controls this now.
As `allowWhitespaceAfterColon` had a default, most calls never mention
it so they will silently migrate to the new `initOptParser` overload. To
cover cases when the proc param was used at call-site, I added an
overload, which modifies the default parser mode to reflect the required
`allowWhitespaceAfterColon` value. Should be all smooth for most users,
except the deprecation warning.
The only thing I think can be classified as the breaking change is a
surprising **bug** of the old parser:
```nim
let p = initOptParser("-n 10 -m20 -k= 30 -40", shortNoVal = {'v'})
# ^-disappears
```
This is with the aforementioned `allowWhitespaceAfterColon` being true
by default, of course. In this case the `30` token is skipped
completely. I don't think that's right, so it's fixed.
Things I still don't like about how the old parser and the new default
mode behave:
1. **Parser behaviour is controlled by an emptiness of two containers**.
This is an interesting approach. It's also made more interesting because
the `shortNoVal`/`longNoVal` control both the namesakes, but *and also
how their opposites (value-taking opts) work*.
---
**Edit:**
2. `shortNoVal` is not mandatory:
```nim
let p = initOptParser(@["-a=foo"], shortNoVal = {'a'})
# Nim, Lax parses as: (cmdShortOption, "a", "foo")
# GnuMode parses as: (cmdShortOption, "a", "=foo")
```
In this case, even though the user specified `a` as no no-val, parser
ignores it, relying only on the syntax to decide the kind of the
argument. This is especially problematic with the modes that don't use
the rule `prShortAllowSep` (GnuMode), in this case the provided input is
twice invalid, regardless of the `shortNoVal`.
With the current parser architecture, parsing it this way **is
inevitable**, though. We don't have any way to signal the error state
detected with the input, so the user is expected to validate the input
for mistakes.
Bundling positional arguments is nonsensical and short option can't use
the separator character, so `[cmd "a", arg "=foo"]` and `[cmd "a", cmd
"=", cmd "f"...]` are both out of the question **and** would complicate
validating, requiring keeping track of a previous argument. Hope I'm
clear enough on the issue.
**Future work:**
1. Looks like the new modes are already usable, but from the discussions
elsewhere it looks like we might want to support special-casing
multi-digit short options (`-XX..`) to allow numerical options greater
than 9. This complicates bundling, though, so requires a bit of thinking
through.
2. Signaling error state?

Pegs raise only their own error, but the forward declaration causes an
unwanted Exception effect
* use strformat which does compile-time analysis of the format string to
avoid exceptions
* also in parsecfg
This is a problem on big-endian CPUs because you end up with nimvm
computing something different than Nim proper, so e.g. a const table
won't work.
I also took the liberty to replace a redundant implementation of load4
in murmurHash.
(Thanks to barracuda156 for helping debug this.)

> Deque items behavior is not the same on 2.0.16 and 2.2.0
The behavior seems to be caused by the temp introduced for the parameter
`deq.len`, which prevents it from being evaluated multiple times
fixes#24998
Basically it retraces back to the situation before
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18366 and
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18362, i.e.
```nim
import fuzz/a
import fuzz/a
```
```nim
import fuzz/a
from buzz/a
```
```nim
import fuzz/a except nil
from fuzz/a import addInt
```
All of these cases are now flagged as invalid and triggers a
redefinition error, i.e., each module name importing is treated as
consistent as the symbol definition
kinda annoying for importing/exporting with `when conditions` though

Inside a signal handler, you cannot allocate memory because the signal
handler, being implemented with a C
[`signal`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/program/signal) call, can be
called _during_ a memory allocation - when that happens, the CTRL-C
handler causes a segfault and/or other inconsistent state.
Similarly, the call can happen from a non-nim thread or inside a C
library function call etc, most of which do not support reentrancy and
therefore cannot be called _from_ a signal handler.
The stack trace facility used in the default handler is unfortunately
beyond fixing without more significant refactoring since it uses
garbage-collected types in its API and implementation.
As an alternative to https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/25110, this PR
removes the most problematic signal handler, namely the one for SIGINT
(ctrl-c) - SIGINT is special because it's meant to cause a regular
shutdown of the application and crashes during SIGINT handling are both
confusing and, if turned into SIGSEGV, have downstream effects like core
dumps and OS crash reports.
The signal handlers for the various crash scenarios remain as-is - they
may too cause their own crashes but we're already going down in a bad
way, so the harm is more limited - in particular, crashing during a
crash handler corrupts `core`/crash dumps. Users wanting to keep their
core files pristine should continue to use `-d:noSignalHandler` - this
is usually the better option for production applications since they
carry more detail than the Nim stack trace that gets printed.
Finally, the example of a ctrl-c handler performs the same mistake of
calling `echo` which is not well-defined - replace it with an example
that is mostly correct (except maybe for the lack of `volatile` for the
`stop` variable).
Also added some documentation to the header.

-d:nimIoSelector, the defined check passes, but the other code fails to
compile because there is no const named nimIoSelector. It seemed like a
bug to me, do you have a working number compiler invocation?

`DWORD` is defined as `int32`, so `DWORD(...)` would not work as
expected. When writing to files larger than 2GB, exception occurs:
```
unhandled exception: value out of range: 4294967295 notin -2147483648 .. 2147483647 [RangeDefect]
```
This PR is a quick fix for this.
P.S. Why `DWORD` is defined as `int32`?
- Added support for SOCKS5h (h for proxy-side DNS resolving) to
httpclient
- Deprecated `auth` arguments for `newProxy` constructors, for auth to
be embedded in the url.
Unfortunately `http://example.com` is not currently reachable from
github CI, so the tests fail there for a few days already, I'm not sure
what can be done here.
explaining why the result may not be so surprising. Clean-up of stray
whitespace and insert of missing "in" along for the ride.
It's just not always faster or slower than `Table`. The difference
depends upon many factors such as (at least!): A) how much (if anything
- for `int` keys it is nothing) hash-comparison before `==` comparison
saves B) how much resizing happens (which may even vary from run to run
if end users are allowed to provide scale guess input), C) how much
comparison happens at all (i.e., table density), D) how much space/size
matters - like how close to a specific deployment "available" cache size
the table is.
If we want, we could add a sentence suggesting performance fans also try
`Table`, but the kind of low-level nature of the explanation strikes me
as already along those lines.

The only concern is if addWrite/addRead works well on Windows.
On windows, `HANDLE` type values are converted to `syncio.FileHandle` in
`lib/std/syncio.nim`, `lib/pure/memfiles.nim` and `lib/pure/osproc.nim`.
`HANDLE` type is `void *` on Windows and its size is larger then `cint`.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/windows-data-types
This PR change `syncio.FileHandle` type so that converting `HANDLE` type
to `syncio.FileHandle` doesn't lose bits.
We can keep `FileHandle` unchanged and change some of parameter/return
type from `FileHandle` to an type same size to `HANDLE`, but it is
breaking change.

To keep destructors injected consistently, we need to transform `mAsgn`
properly into `nkSinkAsgn` and `nkAsgn`. This PR is the first step
towards overhauling hook injections.
In this PR, hooks (except mAsgn) are treated consistently whether it is
resolved in matching or instantiated by sempass2. It also fixes a
spelling `=wasMoved` to its normalized version, which caused no
replacing generic hook calls with lifted hook calls.

It inserts defect handing into a bare except branch
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
echo "nope"
```
=>
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
# New behaviov, now well-defined: **never** catches the assert, regardless of panic mode
raiseDefect()
echo "nope"
```
In this way, `except` still catches foreign exceptions, but panics on
`Defect`. Probably when Nim has `except {.foreign.}`, we can extend
`raiseDefect` to foreign exceptions as well. That's supposed to be a
small use case anyway.
`--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.
fixes#24837
I really wanted to name the variable just `stream` and leave `defer:
...` and `result =...` out, but the compiler says the variable is
redefined, so this is the form.
This change adds `withValue` templates for the `Table` type that are
able to operate on immutable table values -- the existing implementation
requires a `var`.
This is needed for situations where performance is sensitive. There are
two goals with my implementation:
1. Don't create a copy of the value in the table. That's why I need the
`cursor` pragma. Otherwise, it would copy the value
2. Don't double calculate the hash. That's kind of intrinsic with this
implementation. But the only way to achieve this without this PR is to
first check `if key in table` then to read `table[key]`
I brought this up in the discord and a few folks tried to come up with
options that were as fast as this, but nothing quite matched the
performance here. Thread starts here:
https://discord.com/channels/371759389889003530/371759389889003532/1355206546966974584
- Allows using with `--experimental:strictFuncs`
- `{.cast(noSideEffect).}:` inside the proc was required to mutate
`s.len`, same as used in `newSeqImpl`.
- Removed now unnecessary `noSideEffect` casts in `system.nim`
