This adds a version of `almostEqual` (which was already available for
floats) thata works with `Complex[SomeFloat]`.
Proof that this is needed is that the first thing that the complex.nim
runnable examples block did before this commit was define (an
incomplete) `almostEqual` function that worked with complex values.
fixes#23568, fixes#23310
In #23091 `semFinishOperands` was changed to not be called for `mArrGet`
and `mArrPut`, presumably in preparation for #23188 (not sure why it was
needed in #23091, maybe they got mixed together), since the compiler
handles these later and needs the first argument to not be completely
"typed" since brackets can serve as explicit generic instantiations in
which case the first argument would have to be an unresolved generic
proc (not accepted by `finishOperand`).
In this PR we just make it so `mArrGet` and `mArrPut` specifically skip
calling `finishOperand` on the first argument. This way the generic
arguments in the explicit instantiation get typed, but not the
unresolved generic proc.
## Bug
Fixes https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/12381 - HttpClient socket
handle leak
To replicate the bug, run the following code in a loop:
```nim
import httpclient
while true:
echo "New loop"
var client = newHttpClient(timeout = 1000)
try:
let response = client.request("http://10.44.0.4/bla", httpMethod = HttpPost, body = "boo")
echo "HTTP " & $response.status
except CatchableError as e:
echo "Error sending logs: " & $e.msg
finally:
echo "Finally"
client.close()
```
Note the IP address as the hostname. I'm directly connecting to a
plausible local IP, but one that does not resolve, as I have everything
under 10.4.x.x.
The output looks like this to me:
```
New loop
Error sending logs: Operation timed out
Finally
New loop
Error sending logs: Operation timed out
Finally
New loop
...
```
In Nim 2.0.4, running the code above leaks the socket:

## Fix
With the added line of code, each old socket is cleanly removed:
<img width="938" alt="Screenshot 2024-05-05 at 21 54 18"

I believe the line below, `closeUnusedFds(ord(domain))` was supposed to
clean up the failed connection attempts, but it failed to do so for the
last one, assuming it succeeded. Yet it didn't. This fix makes sure
failed connections are closed immediately.
## Tests
I don't have a test with this PR. When testing locally, the
`connect(lastFd, ..)` call on line 2032 blocks for ~75 seconds, ignoring
the http timeout. I fear any test I could add would either 1) take way
too long, 2) one day run in an environment where my randomly chosen IP
is real, yielding in weird flakes.
The only bug i can imagine is if running `lastFd.close()` twice is a bad
idea. I tested by actually running it twice, and... no crash/op? So
seems safe? I'm hoping the CI run will be green, and this will be
enough. However I'm happy to take feedback on how I should test this,
and do the necessary changes.
~Edit: looks like a test does fail, so moving to a draft while I figure
this out.~ Attempt 2 fixed it.
`reset`, `wasMoved` and `move` doesn't support primitive types, which
generate `null` for these types. It is now produce `x = default(...)` in
the backend. Ideally it should be done by ast2ir in the future
fixes#23419
`void` is only supported as fields of objects/tuples. It shouldn't allow
void in the array.
I didn't merge it with taField because that flag is also used for
tyLent, which is allowed in the fields of other types.
fixes#23321
In the function `mapType`, ptrs (tyPtr, tyVar, tyLent, tyRef)
are mapped into ctPtrToArray, the dereference of which is skipped
in the `genref`. We need to skip these ptrs in the function
`genOpenArraySlice`.
…instantiations (C/C++ backend)
AFAIK, #22802 expanded `noinit`'s utility by allowing the pragma to be
attached to types (thanks @jmgomez !).
I suggest broadening the scope a bit further: try to avoid `nimZeroMem`s
on a type level beyond imported C/C++ types[^1], saving us from
annotating the type instantiations with `noinit`.
If this change is deemed acceptable, I will also adjust the docs, of
course.
Adding tests for this change seems a bit problematic, as the effect of
this type annotation will be to work with uninitialized memory, which
*might* match 0 patterns.
[^1]: "complex value types" as already defined here:
94c5996877/compiler/cgen.nim (L470-L471)
When forward declaration is used with pragmas `virtual` or `member`, the
declaration in struct is added twice. It happens because of missing
check for `sfWasForwarded` pragma.
Current compiler generates the following C++ code:
```cpp
struct tyObject_Foo__fFO9b6HU7kRnKB9aJA1RApKw {
N_LIB_PRIVATE N_NOCONV(void, abc)(NI x_p1);
N_LIB_PRIVATE N_NOCONV(virtual void, def)(NI y_p1);
N_LIB_PRIVATE N_NOCONV(void, abc)(NI x_p1);
N_LIB_PRIVATE N_NOCONV(virtual void, def)(NI y_p1);
};
```

Since `nkState` is only for the main loop state labels and `nkGotoState`
is used only for dispatching the `:state` (since
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/7770), it's feasible to rewrite the
loop body into a single case-based dispatcher, which enables support for
JS, VM backend. `nkState` Node is replaced by a label and Node pair and
`nkGotoState` is only used for intermediary processing. Backends only
need to implement `nkBreakState` and `closureIterSetupExc` to support
closure iterators.

<del> I also observed some performance boost for C backend in the
release mode (not in the danger mode though, I suppose the old
implementation is optimized into computed goto in the danger mode)

Because `isGitRepo()` call requires `/bin/sh` it will always fail when
building Nim in a Nix build sandbox, and the check doesn't even make
sense if Nix already provides Nimble source code.
Since for Nimble `allowBundled` is set to `true` this effectlvely does
not change behavior for normal builds, but does avoid ugly hacks when
building in Nix which lacks `/bin/sh` and fails to call `git`.

In the
8990626ca9
the effect of `skipAddr` changed to skip `nkAddr` and `nkHiddenAddr`.
Some old code was not adapted. In the
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/23477, the magic `addr` function
was handled in the semantic analysis phase, which causes it be skipped
incorrectly
Added a second example inside the `typedthreads` file.
Also, add a more detailed introduction. When Nim is one's first
programming language, a short explanation of what a thread is might not
hurt.
For reference, the thread documentation of other languages looks like
this:
- https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread
- https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/thread/
The documentation of a module is the first place one will look when
using a standard library feature, so I think it is important to have a
few usable examples for the main modules.
This is the example added
```nim
import locks
var l: Lock
proc threadFunc(obj: ptr seq[int]) {.thread.} =
withLock l:
for i in 0..<100:
obj[].add(obj[].len * obj[].len)
proc threadHandler() =
var thr: array[0..4, Thread[ptr seq[int]]]
var s = newSeq[int]()
for i in 0..high(thr):
createThread(thr[i], threadFunc, s.addr)
joinThreads(thr)
echo s
initLock(l)
threadHandler()
deinitLock(l)
```
Sharing memory between threads is very very common, so I think having an
example showcasing this is crucial.

fixes#23326
In a routine declaration node in a template, if the routine is marked as
`gensym`, the compiler adds it as a new symbol to a preliminary scope of
the template. If it's not marked as gensym, then it searches the
preliminary scope of the template for the name of the routine, then when
it matches a template parameter or a gensym identifier, the compiler
replaces the name node with a symbol node of the found symbol.
This makes sense for the template parameter since it has to be replaced
later, but not really for the gensym identifier, as it doesn't allow us
to inject a routine with the same name as an identifier previously
declared as gensym (the problem in #23326 is when this is in another
`when` branch).
However this is the only channel to reuse a gensym symbol in a
declaration, so maybe removing it has side effects. For example if we
have:
```nim
proc foo(x: int) {.gensym.} = discard
proc foo(x: float) {.gensym.} = discard
```
it will not behave the same as
```nim
proc foo(x: int) {.gensym.} = discard
proc foo(x: float) = discard
```
behaved previously, which maybe allowed overloading over the gensym'd
symbols.
A note to the "undeclared identifier" error message has also been added
for a potential error code that implicitly depended on the old behavior
might give, namely ``undeclared identifier: 'abc`gensym123'``, which
happens when in a template an identifier is first declared gensym in
code that doesn't compile, then as a routine which injects by default,
then the identifier is used.
