- node ext searcher also looks for "iojs" if no node(js?) found.
- koch ensures the local work dir compiler is freshly compiled before executing the tests.
- the tester can only run in the repo dir - now the compiler and libs used are also explicitly the local dirs - so no confusion from system wide pathing ("sufficiently sandboxed").
- fixed expectations in tmitems.nim test to match changes in json mod.
- re-layouted the columns / row printing slightly, making test fails pop out more, and everything "normal" layed back.
Previously pragmas could be attached only to whole statements, this change
allows attaching pragmas to inline statements, eg.:
template rewriteAdd{a + b}(a: expr, b: expr): expr =
({.noRewrite.}: a + b) + 1
Code above will cause a + b to be rewritten once, because rewriteAdd attaches
{.noRewrite.} to resulting a + b expr.
Term rewriting macros/templates are currently greedy and they will rewrite as
long as there is a match. So there was no way to ensure some rewrite happens
only once, eg. when rewriting term to same term plus extra content.
With new macro we can actually prevent further rewriting on marked expr or
stmts, eg. with given example echo(...) will be rewritten just once:
template pwnEcho{echo(x)}(x: expr) =
{.noRewrite.}: echo("pwned!")
echo "ab"
There is no point to issue implicit HiddenStdConv encountering subtype of
typedesc[Base] parameter on overload resolution, since this will anyway never
reach codegen. This change effectively fixes compiler bug for:
iterator it(T: typedesc[Base]) = ...
for s in it(SubclassOfBase): ...
Where HiddenStdConv triggered implicit instantiation of variable of type
typedesc[Base] in for transform, that eventually fails at getUniqueType, that
refuses to work for typedesc.
