No concrete proof for the second one, though the described behavior
matches and the step count explains why it's so difficult to find a

These functions are unused and never exposed publically - along with it,
get rid of `GC_Strategy` - although it's possible someone could use this

`executeNoHooksV3`'s `ideType` handler dereferences the target symbol's
type
without nil checks, so nimsuggest (v3/v4) dies with SIGSEGV on a `type`
query for any symbol without a usable type:
- a **void proc** — `s.sym.typ[0]` (the return-type slot) is nil, e.g.
"goto type definition" on the `add` in `s.add('x')`;
- a **module symbol** — `s.sym.typ` is nil, e.g. a `type` query on the
module name in an `import` statement.
Both are one editor action away for any user whose client maps
`textDocument/typeDefinition` to `type` (nimlangserver does), and the
crash
takes down the whole nimsuggest process. Root-caused from recurring
nimlangserver crash reports by replaying a live session log; reproduced
deterministically with a two-line file.
The fix guards the derefs and returns an empty result for symbols with
no
type, matching the existing "bad type" behavior. Two regression cases
are
appended to `nimsuggest/tests/tv3_typeDefinition.nim` (appended at the
end
so the existing `$1`–`$4` line-number expectations are untouched); both
crash with `SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access` before the fix and pass
after.
The existing `$3` generic case covers the guarded `elif` branch.

fix#25608
This pull request improves how the compiler handles warnings for
implicit range conversions, ensuring that only non-constant values
trigger downsizing warnings. It also adds new test cases to verify that
assignments and function calls involving compile-time constants do not
produce unnecessary warnings.
Improvements to range conversion warnings:
* Updated the logic in `compiler/sempass2.nim` to skip implicit range
conversion warnings for compile-time constants by checking if an
expression is constant with `getConstExpr`. Now, only non-constant
values will trigger the warning.
Testing enhancements:
* Added new test cases in `tests/range/timplicitrangedownsizing.nim` to
confirm that assignments and function calls with constant enum and
integer values do not trigger downsizing warnings.
(cherry picked from commit c70a4502d2)
Explicit `=sink` calls such as `Isolated[T].=sink` can delegate to a
field type like `float`, which has no attached sink op. In that case
`replaceHookMagic` leaves the builtin `mAsgn` call in place.
`genMagicExpr` did not lower that shape, which caused the regression.
Mapping `=sink` to `nkSinkAsgn` and other builtin assignment hooks to
`nkAsgn`.

The emscripten branch cast the descriptor address to the value type
EmscriptenMMapBlock instead of the pointer alias PEmscriptenMMapBlock,
so osAllocPages stored realSize/realPointer in a discarded local and
osDeallocPages reinterpreted the address integer as the descriptor
instead of dereferencing it -- calling munmap() with garbage that fails,
so freed pages are never returned. Freed huge chunks are also dropped
from the free list, leaking permanently. Affects wasm32 and wasm64.
Cast to PEmscriptenMMapBlock so both accesses go through memory.

fixes#25945
When `@[]` appears inside a nested `if` expression that also contains
statements, the AST wraps it in `nkStmtListExpr` nodes. The empty
container's `tyEmpty` element type was never resolved to a concrete
type, causing the C codegen to ICE with "cannot map the empty seq type
to a C type".
Walk through nested statement-list/block expressions in
`fitNodePostMatch` to find the innermost value node and propagate the
formal type to empty containers.

This PR implements `expandSymlink` on Windows with POSIX readlink
semantics: it expands exactly one hop and returns the stored link target
without resolving the full chain.
The main design question was whether Windows symlink expansion should be
built on path-finalization APIs such as `GetFinalPathNameByHandleW`, or
on direct reparse-point inspection. Current `expandSymlink` is a
single-hop "what target is stored in this link object?" operation and
most of other ways to resolve symlinks on Windows actually try to answer
the "final true file location" question in various slightly-incompatible
ways.
The full final-path resolution on Windows is substantially more complex
than readlink and is planned as a follow-up.
## Implementation choice
Implements Windows `expandSymlink` by:
- opening the path with `FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT`
- calling `DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_GET_REPARSE_POINT)`
- parsing the reparse payload for `IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK` and
`IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT`
- decoding the UTF-16 slice referenced by the payload
- returning the stored target
This is the right primitive for the API:
- does not depend on whole-path finalization
- works for both symlinks and junctions
- matches the existing Linux behaviour
`widestrs` changes allow using WideCString views without temporary
allocations.
Windows prohibits symlink creation without admin rights, so,
unfortunately, the tests are conditionally skipped by default. Manually
running `testament` in an admin console is required.
## Behaviour:
- One hop only
- Relative symlink targets are returned unchanged
- Absolute Windows targets are converted from stored NT-style prefixes
to usable Win32 forms when applicable
- Non-links, malformed payloads, and unsupported reparse tags raise
`OSError`
## Future work
Path canonicalization, i.e. "final true file location". Which is, BTW,
different from `absolutePath`, which works on paths only and doesn't hit
the underlying FS. So this needs to be an API extension.
I'd like to follow-up with this when I sort through the docs, for now
you can resolve symlinks in a loop.

fixes#25931
This fix addresses bug #25931 — a signature hash collision with
importc-aliased pointer/cstring types.
The problem: In compiler/sighashes.nim, the hashType procedure
canonicalizes types for signature hashing. Integral types
(tyInt..tyUInt64, etc.) were excluded from canonicalization so that
types like pid_t (an importc alias) keep their backend spelling. But
pointer and cstring types with importc annotations were not excluded —
meaning a type like:
type N {.importc: "const void *".} = pointer
...would be collapsed to just pointer in the signature hash, causing
collisions when N and pointer are both used in procedure types within
the same compilation unit.
The fix (compiler/sighashes.nim:193): Adds tyPointer and tyCstring to
the list of types that skip canonicalization, right alongside the
integral types. The comment is updated to clarify this applies to
"builtin scalar-ish / pointer-like types".
The test (tests/ccgbugs/tsighash_typename_regression.nim:33-42): Adds a
regression test exercising the exact scenario — an importc pointer alias
used in both an object field type and a proc parameter type.

When an enum identifier is resolved as an `nkSymChoice`, one of the
candidates may come from a loop-local view and carry `tyVar` or
`tyLent`.
Enum disambiguation should compare the underlying enum type only.
Otherwise a pure-enum field can win incorrectly even though the intended
symbol is already present in the choice set.
Keep the `includePureEnum` lookup path for enum-typed expectations so
#23976 still works, but normalize `var`/`lent` only at the symchoice
selection point.

closureiters.nim splits a stmt list at yield points, moving post-yield
code into a new state body. When that stmt list was inside a pragma
block like `{.cast(uncheckedAssign).}`, the new state's body was created
as a bare nkStmtList without the wrapper.
Fix: track the enclosing pragma block in the transform context, and wrap
newly-created state bodies in a copy of it when the split occurs inside
one. Added an explicit `nkPragmaBlock` case to
`transformClosureIteratorBody` that saves/restores `ctx.enclosingPragma`
around its body.

Fixes#19240.
The Manual's "Delegating bind statements" example didn't compile (module
B didn't import A, type `O` wasn't exported, and `x: T` couldn't bind to
`var O`), and once those were fixed it compiled *without* the `bind`
statement — so it didn't demonstrate delegating bind at all.
This replaces it with a minimal example that genuinely requires `bind
init`: `module main` imports A and B but not C, so `init` is not in
scope at the final instantiation of `genericA`; the open `mixin` symbol
fails to resolve without `bind init` forwarding it from module B.
Verified to fail without `bind` and compile with `bind` under Nim
2.2.10.

fixes #22122
The commit fixes a bug in Nim's effects checker where raise statements
with case/if expressions (commonly from template expansion) failed to
track exception types from individual branches.
Problem: addRaiseEffect only saw the outermost expression. When a
template like getTransportError(err) expanded to a case expression
raising 3 different exception types, the compiler only registered the
top-level call — missing the branch-level exceptions.
Fix (2 files):
- compiler/sempass2.nim: Added skipHiddenConv to strip implicit type
coercion nodes (nkHiddenStdConv/nkHiddenSubConv) that hide the control
flow structure. Added addRaiseEffectsFromExpr that recursively walks
into case/if/block/stmtlist expressions to find raise effects in each
branch body. Changed the nkRaiseStmt handler to use this new function.
- tests/effects/tcase_raises.nim: Test with templates that expand to
case expressions raising different exception types, verified via
{.raises: [].} pragma.

1. In vmdef.nim:304, newCtx now sets templInstCounter: new int when it
builds TCtx.
2. vm.nim:1490 — During VM execution of templates, c.templInstCounter is
passed to evalTemplate
3. evaltempl.nim:204 — instID: instID[] dereferences the ref int
4. With a nil templInstCounter, this would crash
5. The same initialization already exists on the semantic side in
sem.nim:787, so this change makes the VM path consistent with the rest
of the compiler.

I don't like it, but seems like this is correct. Concept type classes
have to behave like other "named" type classes and participate in "bind
once" mechanics or require some weird semantics. As a side note I'm
pretty sure the `tuple` example in the manual explaining this is either
wrong now or has regressed, but I don't think it matters because I doubt
anyone thinks about this feature much.

This PR adds 3 modes to `typeof` to specify how to handle type modifiers
`var`, `sink` and `lent`.
- typeOfModCompatible
Remove or keep type modifiers in the same way as old typeof. That means
keep `sink` but remove `var` and `lent`.
- typeOfModRemoveModifier
Remove type modifiers.
- typeOfModKeepModifier
Keep type modifiers.

## Summary
Fixes#19782.
The `?` operator in `std/uri` was silently overwriting any query string
already present in the URI. This PR makes it append instead — which
matches the docstring ("Concatenates the query parameters") and the
natural expectation when chaining operations.
**Before:**
```nim
let u = parseUri("https://example.com/foo?existing=1") ? {"bar": "qux"}
echo $u # https://example.com/foo?bar=qux (existing=1 lost)
```
**After:**
```nim
let u = parseUri("https://example.com/foo?existing=1") ? {"bar": "qux"}
echo $u # https://example.com/foo?existing=1&bar=qux
```
## Changes
- `lib/pure/uri.nim`: fix `?` to append with `&` when a query string
already exists; add example to `runnableExamples`
- `tests/stdlib/turi.nim`: two new test cases (append to existing query,
empty params preserve existing)
- `changelog.md`: entry under Standard library changes
## Notes
I work with Claude as a co-processor. I'm 56, came to programming late,
and this is genuinely how I learn and contribute. I understand what I'm
submitting, but I didn't write it alone. If your project prefers
human-only contributions, just say so and I'll close without friction.

fixes#25725
This pull request makes significant improvements to symbol handling
during transformation passes in the compiler, particularly for routines
(procedures, iterators) and their parameters. The changes ensure that
when routines are copied (for inlining, closure generation, etc.), all
relevant symbols and type headers are also freshly copied and correctly
owned, preventing subtle bugs from symbol reuse. Additionally, new
regression tests are added to cover previously problematic iterator
cases.
**Improvements to symbol copying and ownership:**
* Introduced `freshOwnedSym` to create a fresh copy of a symbol with a
specified owner, ensuring that transformed routines and their parameters
do not share symbols with the originals, which prevents accidental
aliasing and ownership issues.
* Refactored `freshVar` to use `freshOwnedSym`, centralizing fresh
symbol creation logic.
* Added `introduceNewRoutineHeaderSyms` and `copyRoutineTypeHeader` to
ensure that when routines are copied, all parameter/result symbols and
their types are also freshly copied and mapped, avoiding shared state
between original and transformed routines.
* Updated `introduceNewLocalVars` to use `freshOwnedSym` for routine
symbols and to invoke the new header/type copying procedures, ensuring
correctness in routine transformation.
**Testing and regression coverage:**
* Added new blocks to `tests/iter/titer_issues.nim` to test iterator
transformation edge cases, including scenarios that previously led to
symbol reuse bugs (e.g., bugs #25724 and #25725).

fixes#22936
This pull request improves the compiler's handling of generic type
constraints, specifically for subtypes of generics, and adds a test to
cover this behavior. The main changes are an enhancement to the type
relationship logic in the compiler and a new test case for generic
subtyping with `Future`.
### Compiler improvements for generic subtyping
* Updated `typeRel` in `compiler/sigmatch.nim` to allow generic
constraints (like `F: Future`) to accept not just direct instantiations
but also descendants of the generic family, ensuring more flexible and
correct overload resolution. Inheritance depth is now considered for
overload ranking, making deeper descendants slightly less preferred,
consistent with other inheritance-based matches.
### New test coverage
* Added a test in `tests/typerel/t8905.nim` to verify that generic
constraints correctly accept subtypes of `Future`, including a custom
`B[T, E] = ref object of Future[T]` type, and that overloads like
`take`, `takeMany`, and the macro `checkFutures` work as expected with
these types.
