kqueue will remove pipes automatically if their read end is closed.
Unfortunately this means that trying to unregister it (which is
necessary to clean up resources & for consistency with other ioselectors
implementations) will set an ENOENT error, which currently raises an
exception.
(ETA: in other words, it is currently impossible to call unregister on a
pipe fd without potentially getting the selector into an invalid state
on platforms with kqueue.)
Avoid this issue by ignoring ENOENT errors returned from kqueue.
(Tested on FreeBSD. I added a test case to the tioselectors file; the
seemingly unrelated change is to fix a race condition that doesn't
appear on Linux, so that it would run my code too.)
refs #21682, refs #24038
The `rangeBase` typetrait added in #21682 which gives the base type of a
range type is now added publicly to `typetraits`. Previously it was only
privately used in `repr_v2` and in `enumutils` since #24052
(coincidentally I didn't see this until now). This is part of an effort
to make range types easier to work with in generics, as mentioned in
#24038. Its use combined with #24037 is also tested.
The condition for the "enum to enum conversion" warning is now also
restricted to conversions between different enum base types, i.e.
conversion between an enum type and a range type of itself doesn't give
a warning. I put this in this PR since the test gave the warning and so
works as a regression test.
in https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12463 which seems reasonable enough to
me.
stdlib has several dozens of places doing result.setLen now, but if
`experimental:strictDefs` move sot on by default and there is no easy
way to locally suppress the warning we can revisit this.
fixes#24054
`readData` is not implemented for the VM as mentioned in the issue, but
`readDataStr` is, so that is used for `readStr` instead on the VM. We
could also just use it in general since it falls back to `readData`
anyway but it's kept the same otherwise for now.
Also where and why streams in general don't work in VM is now documented
on the top level `streams` module documentation.
#23992 The test case provided does not cover the Windows situation, I
fixed it in this new PR.
Fixed an issue where errorCode was always 0 when startProcess didn't use
the poEvalCommand flag.
Tthe sleep command might not be available in all Windows installations,
so I skipped the relevant test.
Added a test case, tested on my fedora and windows systems.
fixes#15314, fixes#24002
The OpenSym behavior first added to generics in #23091 now also applies
to templates, since templates can also capture symbols that are meant to
be replaced by local symbols if the context imports symbols with the
same name, as in the issue #24002. The experimental switch
`templateOpenSym` is added to enable this behavior for templates only,
and the experimental switch `openSym` is added to enable it for both
templates and generics, and the documentation now mainly mentions this
switch.
Additionally the logic for `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes that were previously
wrapped in `nkOpenSym` now apply to all `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes, and so
these nodes aren't wrapped in `nkOpenSym` anymore. This means
`nkOpenSym` can only have children of kind `nkSym` again, so it is more
in line with the structure of symchoice nodes. As for why they aren't
merged with `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes yet, we need some way to signal that
the node shouldn't become ambiguous if other options exist at
instantiation time, we already captured a symbol at the beginning and
another symbol can only replace it if it's closer in scope and
unambiguous.
updated version of #22193
After #22029 and the followups #23983 and #24005 which fixed issues with
it, `tyFromExpr` no longer match any proc params in generic type bodies
but delay all non-matching calls until the type is instantiated.
Previously the mechanism `fauxMatch` was used to pretend that any
failing match against `tyFromExpr` actually matched, but prevented the
instantiation of the type until later.
Since this mechanism is not needed anymore for `tyFromExpr`, it is now
only used for `tyError` to prevent cascading errors and changed to a
bool field for simplicity. A change in `semtypes` was also needed to
prevent calling `fitNode` on default param values resolving to type
`tyFromExpr` in generic procs for params with non-generic types, as this
would try to coerce the expression into a concrete type when it can't be
instantiated yet.
The aliases `tyProxy` and `tyUnknown` for `tyError` and `tyFromExpr` are
also removed for uniformity.
fixes#23898, supersedes #23966 and #23990
Since #20631 ambiguous type symbols in templates are rejected outright,
now we generate a symchoice for type nodes if they're ambiguous, a
generalization of what was done in #22375. This is done for generics as
well. Symchoices also handle type symbols better now, ensuring their
type is a `typedesc` type; this probably isn't necessary for everything
to work but it makes the logic more robust.
Similar to #23989, we have to prepare for the fact that ambiguous type
symbols behave differently than normal type symbols and either error
normally or relegate to other routine symbols if the symbol is being
called. Generating a symchoice emulates this behavior, `semExpr` will
find the type symbol first, but since the symchoice has other symbols,
it will count as an ambiguous type symbol.
I know it seems spammy to carry around an ambiguity flag everywhere, but
in the future when we have something like #23104 we could just always
generate a symchoice, and the symchoice itself would carry the info of
whether the first symbol was ambiguous. But this could harm compiler
performance/memory use, it might be better to generate it only when we
have to, which in the case of type symbols is only when they're
ambiguous.
Previous example wouldn't run unless `std/posix` was imported and it
wasn't mentioned anywhere in the docs.
Other changes in the example:
- replaced magic number with constant `MaxWatches` .
- changed seq buffer to array, because length is already constant +
pointer is a bit nicer: `addr seq[0]` vs `addr arr`
- added example for getting a `cstring` name value from `InotifyEvent`
struct with explicit cast.
- added a bit more description to `inotify_init1` (copied from `man
inotify(7)`)

Provides a fix for #23817.
With target `arm-none-eabi`, GCC defines `int32_t` to `long int`. Nim
uses `__builtin_sadd_overflow` for 32-bit targets, but this emits
warnings on GCC releases 13 and under, while generating an error on GCC
14. More info regarding this
[here](https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html#c) and
[here](https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-cvs/2023-December/394351.html).
The proposed PR attempts to address this issue for these targets by
defining the `nimAddInt`, `nimSubInt`, and `nimMulInt` macros to use the
appropriate compiler intrinsics for this platform.
As for as we know, the LLVM toolchain for bare metal Arm does not define
`int32_t` as `long int` and has no need for this patch. Thus, we only
define the above macros for GCC targeting `arm-non-eabi`.

fixes#23386, fixes#23385, supersedes #23572
Turns the `nfOpenSym` node flag implemented in #23091 and extended in
#23102 and #23873, into a node kind `nkOpenSym` that forms a unary node
containing either `nkSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice`. Since this affects
macros working on generic proc AST, the node kind is now only generated
when the experimental switch `genericsOpenSym` is enabled, and a new
node flag `nfDisabledOpenSym` is set to the `nkSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice`
when the switch is not enabled so that we can give a warning.
Now that the experimental switch has more reasonable semantics, we
define `nimHasGenericsOpenSym2`.
Currently `cpuinfo.countProcessor` uses hard-coded `HW_AVAILCPU=25` for
both MacOS and BSD;
However,
[There is no HW_AVAILCPU on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD](
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132542)
Also, `HW_AVAILCPU` is undocmented in MacOS,
while `sysctlbyname("hw.logicalcpu",...)` is documented and used
by many other languages' implementations, like
[Haskell](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/master/rts/posix/OSThreads.c?ref_type=heads#L376)
---
This PR:
- use `importc` value instead of hard-coded values for `HW_*` macros.
- use "hw.logicialcpu" over undocumented HW_AVAILCPU.
- reduce 2 elements of `mib` array when calling `sysctl` as they're no
use.
Lets single threaded applications benefit from tracking foreign cells as
well.
After this, `SmallChunk` technically doesn't need to act as a linked
list anymore I think, gotta investigate that more though.
The likelihood of overflowing `chunk.free` also rises, so to work around
that it might make sense to check `foreignCells` instead of adjusting
free space or replace free with a counter for the local capacity.
For Nim compile I can observe a ~10mb reduction, and smaller ones for
other projects.
Corrects a slicing mistake in the `std/varints` implementation which
caused it to fail when writing large numbers into buffers smaller than
10..13-bytes, now 9-byte buffers are sufficient as the documentation
states.
Ref: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/23788
There was a small leak in the above issue even after fixing the
segfault. The sizes of `free` and `acc` were changed to 32bit because
adding the `foreignCells` field will drastically increase the memory
usage for programs that hold onto memory for a long time if they stay as
64bit.
Honestly, to me the entire design of a (highly!) restricted set of
`FormatLiterals` characters seems antithetical to the very idea of a
format string template. Fixing that is a much larger change, though.
So, this PR just adds `'.'` so that the standard (both input & output!)
notation for decimal numbers in Nim can be used for the seconds part of
a time format in `lib/pure/times.format(.., f)`. It should only make
legal what was illegal and should be harmless since `'.'` is not used in
any special way otherwise.
code such as:
```Nim
import std/httpclient # nim c --hint:performance:on
echo newHttpClient(proxy=nil,
headers=newHttpHeaders({"Accept": "*/*"})).getContent("x")
```
(Fix was suggested by @ringabout in a private channel.)
Seems useful since `httpclient` is so basic/probably pervasive with many
hundreds of `import`s across the NimbleVerse.
The most specific version of `gcd(int,int)` in `std/math` uses bitwise
comparisons from C compilers, which can't be borrowed on the js platform
in the web browser. Conditional compilation here should fix the issue
for this and downstream libraries such as `std/rationals` when compiling
to browser js as the backend.

makes new hash the default, with an opt-out (& js-no-big-int) define.
Also update changelog (& fix one typo).
Only really expect the chronos hash-order sensitive test to fail until
they merge that PR and tag a new release.
added small note regarding style insensitivity for parsing enums. the
casing of the first letter is still taken into account for this
function. was confused a little at first because when I read "style
insensitive manner" I thought it meant casing as well and ran into a
couple of `ValueError`'s because of it.
Using initOptParser with an empty cmdline (so that it gets the cmdline
from the command line) in nimscripts does not yield the expected
results.
Fixes#23774.
After this pr, for a string with just 20 length and 6 `'\t'`, the time reduces by about 1.5%[^t].
Also, the code is clearer than the previous at some places.
[^t]: Generally speaking, this rate increases with length. I may test
for longer string later.
