* 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
* fixes#8794 : `Error: undeclared field: 'foo'` should show type (+ where type is defined) (hard to guess in generic code)
* fixes#9270: `--listFullPaths` not honored by `declared in foo.nim` messages
* fixes#9767: VM stacktrace doesn't honor --excessiveStackTrace:on
* fixes#9768: VM stacktrace misses column info, can lead to ambiguous or harder to read stacktraces
* refactors some col+1 code to col + ColOffset (self documents code)
* make getProcHeader show declared info location also for types and all routine kinds (including macros,templates) instead of just (rather arbitrarily) for iterator,proc,func,method
* --listFullPaths now is honored in more places
* fix typo system/except.nim => lib/system/excpt.nim
* remove substr(foo, 0) hack in compiler/vm.nim which seems old and not applicable anymore
Darwin has long deprecated the wait union, but their macros still assume
it unless you define _POSIX_C_SOURCE. This trips up C++ compilers.
This commit duplicates the behavior of WEXITSTATUS when _POSIX_C_SOURCE
is defined.
* add custom pragma support for var and let symbols
* updated changelog for custom pragmas on var and let symbols
* add oldast switch for backwards compatibility
* removed from `compiler`:
* lists (deprecated 2 years ago)
* removed from `lib` (all deprecated 3 years ago):
* ssl
* matchers
* httpserver
* removed from `lib/deprecated`:
* unsigned
* actors (and three accompanying tests)
* parseurl
* moved to `lib/deprecated`:
* securehash (the reason for not directly removing - it was deprecated (only) one year ago)
* Resolve things raised in https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/10081 ?
CDF is a standard ident in all things related to random numbers/sampling,
and full words "cumulativeDistributionFunction" would be silly long, in
this case, IMO. We use lowercase `cdf` to make it not look like a type,
remove all looping from `sample` letting callers do it. Besides just
side-stepping any `sampleSize` name choice, callers may want to filter
out samples anyway which this makes slightly simpler.
Also add two variants of `cumsum`, value return and in-place update
distinguished by the var-ness of the first argument. Add tests for
`int` and `float` for both `cumsum` and the new `sample`. (The sample
tests exercise the value return mode of `cumsum`.)
Functionality pre-this-PR `sample(a, w)` is now the almost as simple
`for i in 0..<n: sample(a, w.cumsum)`, but this new code factoring is
almost surely better. The statistical tests pass, as before.
* Address Araq comment in https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/10084
We can always add in some `var` version later if desired to save
memory, but this change now at least firms up the `sample` interface.
* Rename `cumsum` -> `cumsummed` to honor NEP1 style. Re-instate `cumsum` as
the in-place transformation. Test both in `tests/stdlib/tmath.nim` and use
`cumsummed` in the example code for sample since that's a simpler example.
* Fix requests from https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/10084 :
example in lib/pure/math.nim and comment whitespace in lib/pure/random.nim
* Move typetraits.`$` to system. Fixes#5827.
* revive PR; adjust code to make sure everything works and add tests
* fix tests/concepts/tstackconcept.nim
* address comments
* Add the ability to sample elements from an openArray according to a parallel
array of weights/unnormalized probabilities (any sort of histogram, basically).
Also add a non-thread safe version for convenience.
* Address Araq comments on https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/10072
* import at top of file and space after '#'.
* Put in a check for non-zero total weight.
* Clarify constraint on `w`.
* Rename `rand(openArray[T])` to `sample(openArray[T])` to `sample`, deprecating
old name and name new (openArray[T], openArray[U]) variants `sample`.
* Rename caller-provided state version of rand(openArray[T]) and also clean
up doc comments.
* Add test for new non-uniform array sampler. 3 sd bound makes it 99% likely
that it will still pass in the future if the random number generator changes.
We cannot both have a tight bound to check distribution *and* loose check to
ensure resilience to RNG changes. (We cannot *guarantee* resilience, anyway.
There's always a small chance any test hits a legitimate random fluctuation.)
