* add `isNamedTuple`; make $(1, 2) be (1, 2) instead of leaking implementation detail (Field0: 1, Field1: 2)
fixes this: #8670 (comment) /cc @alehander42 @Vindaar @mratsim
* Note: isNamedTuple is useful in other places, eg #10010 (comment)
* move isNamedTuple to helpers.nim to avoid exposing new symbol to system.nim
* remove workaround in tests/vm/tissues.nim failing test now that #10218 was makes it work
The new error message looks like this:
"Error: call depth limit reached in a debug build (2000 function calls).
You can change it with -d:nimCallDepthLimit=<int> or switch to a release
build with -d:release."
* Add a test for issue #9389
* Fixes#9389.
* Make object contructors copy objects properly by checking whether the expressions passed to them don't need to be copied.
* Make mArrToSeq implementation actually check if a copy needs to be made.
* Avoid unnecessary copy in mChr impl
* Assume set constructor elements need no copy
* Add a test for issue #9410
* Add a test
* fix passing fat pointers (#9410)
* Enhance tests
* More tests and fixes
* Add more (failing) tests [ci skip]
* Added equality operator for fat pointers, more tests and fixes
* Fix printing uninitialized strings
* Fix mInc, mDec double eval, add more tests
* Tests
* Refactored, fixed multiple evals, revamped the tests, added missing ops
* Fix ups
* Fix#9643 and #9644
* add pointer normalization
By using `write` instead of `rawWrite` we'd end up asking the compiler
to generate the GC dynlib _while_ we were already generating another
dynlib!
Fixes#9123
- Go's write barriers are now plugged-in in all the relevant points
- "gcGo" is correctly classified by usesWriteBarrier()
- some gogc structures and functions now use golib wrappers to keep GCC
version-specific conditions out of the compiler/stdlib code
- we no longer allow mixing the C malloc with Go's
- fix a problem with string copying
The compiler is now smart enough to emit types only if needed without
all the importc tricks. This also fixes a codegen bug where, if all the
stars align correctly, typeinfo doesn't include any definition of
`TNimType` but uses it.
