`byRefLoc` (`mapType`) requires the Loc `a` to have the right type.
Without `lfEnforceDeref`, it produces the wrong type for `deref (var
array)`, which may come from `mitems`.

```nim
type
PFile {.importc: "FILE*", header: "<stdio.h>".} = distinct pointer
# import C's FILE* type; Nim will treat it as a new pointer type
```
This is an excerpt from the Nim manual. In the old Nim versions, it
produces a void pointer type instead of the `FILE*` type that should
have been generated. Because these C types tend to be opaque and adapt
to changes on different platforms. It might affect the portability of
Nim on various OS, i.e. `csource_v2` cannot build on the apline platform
because of `Time` relies on Nim types instead of the `time_t` type.

Templates use `expectedType` for type inference. It's justified that
when templates don't have an actual return type, i.e., `untyped` etc.
When the return type of templates is specified, we should not infer the
type
```nim
template g(): string = ""
let c: cstring = g()
```
In this example, it is not reasonable to annotate the templates
expression with the `cstring` type before the `fitNode` check with its
specified return type.

`discard finishTest` was wrong if the test still had a `retries` option:
it would just ignore the result of the test. This is an unlikely mistake
but we safeguard against it by splitting `finishTest` into two, one that
completely ignores the retries option and `finishTestRetryable` which
has to be checked for a retry. This also makes the code look slightly
better.

Testament now retries a test by a specified amount if it fails in any
way other than an invalid spec. This is to deal with the flaky GC tests
on Windows CI that fail in many different ways, from the linker randomly
erroring, segfaults, etc.
Unfortunately I couldn't do this cleanly in testament's current code.
The proc `addResult`, which is the "final" proc called in a test run's
lifetime, is now wrapped in a proc `finishTest` that returns a bool
`true` if the test failed and has to be retried. This result is
propagated up from `cmpMsgs` and `compilerOutputTests` until it reaches
`testSpecHelper`, which handles these results by recursing if the test
has to be retried. Since calling `testSpecHelper` means "run this test
with one given configuration", this means every single matrix
option/target etc. receive an equal amount of retries each.
The result of `finishTest` is ignored in cases where it's known that it
won't be retried due to passing, being skipped, having an invalid spec
etc. It's also ignored in `testNimblePackages` because it's not
necessary for those specific tests yet and similar retry behavior is
already implemented for part of it.
This was a last resort for the flaky GC tests but they've been a problem
for years at this point, they give us more work to do and turn off
contributors. Ideally GC tests failing should mark as "needs review" in
the CI rather than "failed" but I don't know if Github supports
something like this.

fixes#24288, refs #23625
Since #23625 "cannot evaluate" errors during VM code generation are
"soft" errors with `nim check`, i.e. the code generation isn't halted
(except for the current proc which `return`s which can cause wrong
codegen) and the expression is still attempted to be evaluated. Now,
these errors signal to the VM that the current generated VM code cannot
be evaluated, and so instead of evaluating, an error node is returned.
This keeps the benefit of the "soft" errors without potentially crashing
the compiler on improperly generated VM code. Although maybe the
compiler might not be able to handle the generated error node in some
cases.
This fixes the chame example in #24288 but this is not tested in CI.
Presumably it or the compiler was doing something like `compiles()` on
code that can't run in the VM.
I would accept nicer ways of tracking non-evaluability than
`c.cannotEval = true` but I tried to keep it as harmless as possible.

fixes#24021
The field checking for case object branches at some point generates a
negated set `contains` check for the object discriminator. For enum
types, this tries to generate a complement set and convert to a
`contains` check in that instead. It obtains this type from the type of
the element node in the `contains` check.
`buildProperFieldCheck` creates the element node by changing a field
access expression like `foo.z` into `foo.kind`. In order to do this, it
copies the node `foo.z` and sets the field name in the node to the
symbol `kind`. But when copying the node, the type of the original
`foo.z` is retained. This means that the complement is performed on the
type of the accessed field rather than the type of the discriminator,
which causes problems when the accessed field is also an enum.
To fix this, we properly set the type of the copied node to the type of
the kind field. An alternative is just to make a new node instead.
A lot of text for a single line change, I know, but this part of the
codebase could use more explanation.

#14221
The Nim compiler calls `cl` for linking as well as compilation. This
means that options to the linker have to be passed after a `/link`
argument. But the Nim compiler doesn't include this option normally,
because users may still want to pass non-linker options to `cl` at link
time.
To deal with this, a workaround is used: every single library link
option adds `/link` before it. The linker simply ignores extraneous
`/link` arguments and gives a warning instead, since it's an
unrecognized option to the linker. This is really hacky but otherwise we
need to separate linker arguments into arguments passed either to the
compiler or to the linker at link time, and this behavior wouldn't be
meaningful outside of MSVC.
I can't really test this manually but I did test that the linker ignores
`/link`. I also can't really do more than this, I don't really use MSVC
so I wouldn't know how to navigate it, or how people use it. Ideally
someone who knows more about/uses MSVC can give their input or take
over.

fixes#24269, refs #20095
Instead of checking the package of the *used sym* to determine whether a
stylecheck should trigger, we check the package of the lineinfo instead.
Before #20095 this checked for the current compilation context module
instead which caused issues with generic procs, but the lineinfo should
more closely match the AST.
I figured this might cause issues with includes etc but the foreign
package test specifically tests for an include and passes, so maybe the
package determining logic accounts for this already. This still might
not be the correct logic, I'm not too familiar with the package handling
in the compiler.

As said in the warning after #21659, a set of ints defaults to
`set[range[0..65535]]` which is very large. So in osproc, a `case`
statement is used instead of an int set to check for an int being one of
2 values.
Also tested all of CI with the warning from #21659 as an error, this
seems to be the only remaining case in CI.

The code in the `if` branch replaces the current destination `d` with a
new one. But the location `d` can be an assignment location, in which
case the provided expression isn't generated. To fix this, don't trigger
this code for when the location already exists. An alternative would be
to call `putIntoDest` in this case as is done below.

This also enables `criterion`, and removes other packages that had been
in the `allowFailure` category — even without them we have plenty of
packages (145) that we test, there's no point in spending CI time on
them just to see them fail every time.
If/when the authors of those packages make them work with Nim devel, we
can re-introduce them then.

I have added a new overload of `^` for float exponents.
Is two overloads for `float32` and `float64` better than just one
overload with `SomeFloat` type ?
I guess this would not work with `SomeFloat`, as `pow` is not defined
for `float`.
Another remark. Maybe we should catch exponents with 0.5 and call `sqrt`
instead ?

fixes#24091, refs #24092
Any instantiations resolving to a generic body type now gives an error.
Due to #24092, this does not error in cases like matching against `type
M` in generics because generic body type symbols are just not
instantiated. But this prevents parameters with type `type M` from being
used, although there doesn't seem to be any code which does this. Just
in case such code exists, we still allow `typedesc` types resolving to
generic body types.

fixes#23587
As explained in the issue, `getOrDefault` has a parameter named
`default` that can be a proc after generic instantiation. But the
parameter having a proc type [overrides all other
overloads](f73e03b132/compiler/semexprs.nim (L1203))
including the magic `system.default` overload and causes a compile error
if the proc doesn't match the normal use of `default`. To fix this, the
`result = default(B)` initializer call is removed because it's not
needed, `result` is always set in `getOrDefaultImpl` when a default
value is provided.
This is still a suspicious behavior of the compiler but `tables` working
has a higher priority.

Same as in #24183 for templates, we now process pragma nodes in generics
so that macro symbols are captured and the pragma arguments are checked,
but ignoring language pragma keywords.
A difference is that we cannot process call nodes as is, we have to
process their children individually so that the early untyped
macro/template instantiation in generics does not kick in.

fixes#24233
Integer literals with type `int` can match `int64` with a generic match.
Normally this would generate an conversion via `isFromIntLit`, but when
it matches with a generic match (`isGeneric`) the node is left alone and
continues to have type `int` (related to #4858, but separate; since
`isFromIntLit > isGeneric` it doesn't propagate). This did not cause
problems on the C backend up to this point because either the compiler
generated a cast when generating the C code or it was implicitly casted
in the C code itself. On the JS backend however, we need to generate
`int64` and `int` values differently, so we copy the integer literal and
give it the matched type now instead.
This is somewhat risky even if CI passes but it's required to make the
times module work without [this
workaround](7dfadb8b4e/lib/pure/times.nim (L219-L238))
on `--jsbigint64:on` (the default).
CI exposed an issue: When matching an int literal to a generic parameter
in a generic instantiation, the literal is only treated like a value if
it has `int literal` type, but if it has the type `int`, it gets
transformed into literally the type `int` (#12664, #13906), which breaks
the tests t14193 and t12938. To deal with this, we don't give it the
type `int` if we are in a generic instantiation and preserve the `int
literal` type.

fixes#24186
When encountering pragma nodes in templates, if it's a language pragma,
we don't process the name, and only any values if they exist. If it's
not a language pragma, we process the full node. Previously only the
values of colon expressions were processed.
To make this simpler, `whichPragma` is patched to consider bracketed
hint/warning etc pragmas like `{.hint[HintName]: off.}` as being a
pragma of kind `wHint` rather than an invalid pragma which would have to
be checked separately. From looking at the uses of `whichPragma` this
doesn't seem like it would cause problems.
Generics have [the same
problem](a27542195c/compiler/semgnrc.nim (L619))
(causing #18649), but to make it work we need to make sure the
templates/macros don't get evaluated or get evaluated correctly (i.e.
passing the proc node as the final argument), either with #23094 or by
completely disabling template/macro evaluation when processing the
pragma node, which would also cover `{.pragma.}` templates.

fixes#24228, refs #22022
As described in
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/24228#issuecomment-2392462221,
instantiating generic routines inside `typeof` causes all code inside to
be treated as being in a typeof context, and thus preventing compile
time proc folding, causing issues when code is generated for the
instantiated routine. Now, instantiated generic procs are treated as
never being inside a `typeof` context.
This is probably an arbitrary special case and more issues with the
`typeof` behavior from #22022 are likely. Ideally this behavior would be
removed but it's necessary to accomodate the current [proc `declval` in
the package `stew`](https://github.com/status-im/nim-stew/pull/190), at
least without changes to `compileTime` that would either break other
code (making it not eagerly fold by default) or still require a change
in stew (adding an option to disable the eager folding).
Alternatively we could also make the eager folding opt-in only for
generic compileTime procs so that #22022 breaks nothing whatsoever, but
a universal solution would be better. Edit: Done in #24230 via
experimental switch

split from #24198
This is a required refactor for the only good solution I've been able to
think of for #4858 etc. Explanation:
---
`sigmatch` currently [disables
bindings](d6a71a1067/compiler/sigmatch.nim (L1956))
(except for binding to other generic parameters) when matching against
constraints of generic parameters. This is so when the constraint is a
general metatype like `seq`, the type matching will not treat all
following uses of `seq` as the type matched against that generic
parameter.
However to solve #4858 etc we need to bind `or` types with a conversion
match to the type they are supposed to be converted to (i.e. matching
`int literal(123)` against `int8 | int16` should bind `int8`[^1], not
`int`). The generic parameter constraint binding needs some way to keep
track of this so that matching `int literal(123)` against `T: int8 |
int16` also binds `T` to `int8`[^1].
The only good way to do this IMO is to generate a new "binding context"
when matching against constraints, then binding the generic param to
what the constraint was bound to in that context (in #24198 this is
restricted to just `or` types & concrete types with convertible matches,
it doesn't work in general).
---
`semtypinst` already does something similar for bindings of generic
invocations using `LayeredIdTable`, so `LayeredIdTable` is now split
into its own module and used in `sigmatch` for type bindings as well,
rather than a single-layer `TypeMapping`. Other modules which act on
`sigmatch`'s binding map are also updated to use this type instead.
The type is also made into an `object` type rather than a `ref object`
to reduce the pointer indirection when embedding it inside
`TCandidate`/`TReplTypeVars`, but only on arc/orc since there are some
weird aliasing bugs on refc/markAndSweep that cause a segfault when
setting a layer to its previous layer. If we want we can also just
remove the conditional compilation altogether and always use `ref
object` at the cost of some performance.
[^1]: `int8` binding here and not `int16` might seem weird, since they
match equally well. But we need to resolve the ambiguity here, in #24012
I tested disallowing ambiguities like this and it broke many packages
that tries to match int literals to things like `int16 | uint16` or
`int8 | int16`. Instead of making these packages stop working I think
it's better we resolve the ambiguity with a rule like "the earliest `or`
branch with the best match, matches". This is the rule used in #24198.

fixes#18396, fixes#20142
Set types with base types matching less than a generic match (so
subrange matches, conversion matches, int conversion matches) are now
considered mismatching, as their representation is different on the
backends (except VM and JS), causing codegen issues. An exception is
granted for set literal types, which now implicitly convert each element
to the matched base type, so things like `s == {'a', 'b'}` are still
possible where `s` is `set[range['a'..'z']]`. Also every conversion
match in this case is unified under the normal "conversion" match, so a
literal doesn't match one set type better than the other, unless it's
equal.
However `{'a', 'b'} == s` or `{'a', 'b'} - s` etc is now not possible.
when it used to work in the VM. So this is somewhat breaking, and needs
a changelog entry.

Previously, the compiler never differentiated between `untyped`/`typed`
argument default values and other types, it considered any parameter
with a type as typed and called `semExprWithType`, which both
typechecked it and disallowed `void` expressions. Now, we perform no
typechecking at all on `untyped` template param default values, and call
`semExpr` instead for `typed` params, which allows expressions with
`void` type.

When resemming bracket nodes, the compiler currently unconditionally
makes a new node with an array type based on the node. However the VM
can generate bracket nodes with `seq` types, which this erases. To fix
this, if a bracket node already has a type, we still resem the bracket
node, but don't construct a new type for it, instead using the type of
the original node.
A version of this was rejected that didn't resem the node at all if it
was typed, but I can't find it. The difference with this one is that the
individual elements are still resemmed.
This should fix the break caused by #24184 so we could redo it after
this PR but it might still have issues, not to mention the related
pre-existing issues like #22793, #12559 etc.
