* cleanups
* ast.nim: cleanups
* IC: no more sym.tab field, stored externally in the module graph
* nimble compiles again
* rodfiles: store bitwidth of integers and the endianness in the cookie because we serialize 'int' directly
* rodfiles: added compilerproc and export sections
* rodfiles: added all the missing sections
* rodfiles: track the missing information
* IC: architecture for lazy loading of proc bodies
* make tests green again
* completed the lazy loading of proc bodies
* symbol lookup integration, part 1
* symbol lookup integration, part 2
* symbol lookup integration, part 3
* make tcompilerapi work again
* rodfiles: fixed config change handling
* reworked ID handling
* the packed AST now has its own ID mechanism
* basic serialization code works
* extract rodfiles to its own module
* rodfiles: store and compare configs
* rodfiles: store dependencies
* store config at the end
* precise dependency tracking
* dependency tracking for rodfiles
* completed loading of PSym, PType, etc
* removed dead code
* bugfix: do not realloc seqs when taking addr into an element
* make IC opt-in for now
* makes tcompilerapi green again
* final cleanups

* fixes nimdata
* makes nimpy green again
* makes more important packages work
* refactoring: idents don't need inheritance
* refactoring: adding an IdGenerator (part 1)
* refactoring: adding an IdGenerator (part 2)
* refactoring: adding an IdGenerator (part 3)
* refactoring: adding an IdGenerator (part 4)
* refactoring: adding an IdGenerator (part 5)
* refactoring: adding an IdGenerator (part 5)
* IdGenerator must be a ref type; hello world works again
* make bootstrapping work again
* progress: add back the 'exactReplica' ideas
* added back the missing exactReplica hacks
* make tcompilerapi work again
* make important packages green
* attempt to fix the build for 32 bit machines (probably need a better solution here)
* spec for view types
* spec additions
* refactoring; there are two different kinds of views
* refactorings and spec additions
* enforce that view types are initialized
* enforce borrowing from the first formal parameter
* enforce lifetimes for borrowing of locals
* typo in the manual
* clarify in the implementation what a borrow operation really is
* refactoring: move procs to typeallowed.nim
* frontend preparations for first class openArray support
* prepare the code generator for first class openArray
* code generation for first class openArray; WIP
* code generation for open arrays, progress
* added isViewType proc
* preparations for borrow checking
* added borrow checking to the front end
* Expand hoisted default params in sem
Introduce ast.newTree{I,IT}
Add test for default params in procs
* Cleanup
* Simplify hoist transformation and expand test
* I don't care about observable stores
* enforce explicit initializations
* cleaner code for the stdlib
* stdlib: use explicit initializations
* make tests green
* algorithm.nim: set result explicitly
* remove out parameters and bring the PR into a mergable state
* updated the changelog
* `nim doc --backend:js|cpp...`
`nim doc --doccmd:'-d:foo --threads:on'`
`nim r --backend:cpp...` (implies --run --usenimcache)
* --usenimcache works with all targets
* --docCmd:skip now skips compiling snippets; 50X speedup for doc/manual.rst
The new mechanism can deal with more complex scenarios such as
not nil field appearing in a non-default case object branch or
a field within a generic object that may depend on a when branch.
The commit also plugs another hole: the user is no longer able
to create illegal default values through seq.setLen(N).
* stacktraces can now show custom runtime msgs
* improve tests/stdlib/tstackframes.nim
* fix test for --gc:arc
* test --stacktraceMsgs:on and --stacktraceMsgs:off
* --stacktracemsgs:off by default
* first implementation of the =trace and =dispose hooks for the cycle collector
* a cycle collector for ARC: progress
* manual: the .acyclic pragma is a thing once again
* gcbench: adaptations for --gc:arc
* enable valgrind tests for the strutils tests
* testament: better valgrind support
* ARC refactoring: growable jumpstacks
* ARC cycle detector: non-recursive algorithm
* moved and renamed core/ files back to system/
* refactoring: --gc:arc vs --gc:orc since 'orc' is even more experimental and we want to ship --gc:arc soonish
