fixes#26010
Cursors do not own their values and therefore cannot transfer ownership
through move.
Reject move(cursor) during semantic analysis and share the
cursor-location check
between semantic analysis and destructor injection.
To protect against crashes when this stops being experimental, in most
places handled the exact same as normal symchoices (not encountered in
typed ast)
fixes#24186
When encountering pragma nodes in templates, if it's a language pragma,
we don't process the name, and only any values if they exist. If it's
not a language pragma, we process the full node. Previously only the
values of colon expressions were processed.
To make this simpler, `whichPragma` is patched to consider bracketed
hint/warning etc pragmas like `{.hint[HintName]: off.}` as being a
pragma of kind `wHint` rather than an invalid pragma which would have to
be checked separately. From looking at the uses of `whichPragma` this
doesn't seem like it would cause problems.
Generics have [the same
problem](a27542195c/compiler/semgnrc.nim (L619))
(causing #18649), but to make it work we need to make sure the
templates/macros don't get evaluated or get evaluated correctly (i.e.
passing the proc node as the final argument), either with #23094 or by
completely disabling template/macro evaluation when processing the
pragma node, which would also cover `{.pragma.}` templates.
Theoretical Benefits / Plans:
- Typed assembler-like language.
- Allows for a CPS transformation.
- Can replace the existing C backend by a new C backend.
- Can replace the VM.
- Can do more effective "not nil" checking and static array bounds
checking.
- Can be used instead of the DFA.
- Easily translatable to LLVM.
- Reasonably easy to produce native code from.
- Tiny memory consumption. No pointers, no cry.
**In very early stages of development.**
Todo:
- [x] Map Nim types to IR types.
- [ ] Map Nim AST to IR instructions:
- [x] Map bitsets to bitops.
- [ ] Implement string cases.
- [ ] Implement range and index checks.
- [x] Implement `default(T)` builtin.
- [x] Implement multi string concat.
- [ ] Write some analysis passes.
- [ ] Write a backend.
- [x] Integrate into the compilation pipeline.
