In the next commit, I'll introduce changes to the parser bringing
consistent handling of all type modifiers (ref, ptr, var, static
and type). The goal of this commit is to record precisely what is
going to be changed (i.e. by allowing you to look at the diff).
To preserve the diff, please don't squash upon merging.
* Add MemMapFileStream
* Added tests
* Fixed bug in memfiles (zero index for string)
* Added flush to changelog
* Attempt to fix Win's nuances
* Fix attempt to fix
* Continue...
* And again...
* Reworked tests (all for win on Win)
* Fixes in flush (Win)
* Replace fn vars to consts
* Added the attempts parameter to the flush
* Replace while to for
* Move to memfiles
* Use Natural instead of uint
* Better error messages for append mode. Handle specific cases.
* clarify `parseHexInt`, `parseOctInt` docstring and exception msgs
* add `parseBinInt` based on `parseutil.parseBin` implementation
Adds a `parseBinInt`, which parses a binary integer string and returns
it as an integer. This is based on the implementation of
`parseutil.parseBin`, removing the unnecessary parts.
* add tests for all `parse(Hex|Oct|Bin)Int` procs
* replace `parse*Int` proc impls by call to parseutil procs
Replaces the `parse(Hex|Oct|Bin)Int` procedure implementation by calls
to the `parseutil` procs, which receive a mutable argument.
Has the main advantage that the empty string as well as a "prefix
only" string, e.g. "0x" counts as an invalid integer.
Also moves the `parseOctInt` proc further up in the file so that all
`parse` procs are below one another.
* replace `var L` by `let L` in `parse` procs
There's no reason for the usage of `var` here.
* add `maxLen` optional arg for `parseutil.parse(Oct|Bin)`
Plus small change to test cases.
* update changelog about `parse*Int` procs
* fix `rejectParse` template in `tstrutils`
* make sure only `s.len` chars are parsed, if `maxLen+start` > s.len
Fixes a previous bug in `parseHex` (and now affected `parseOct` and
`parseBin`), which allowed to set `start + maxLen` to be larger than
the strings length. This resulted in an out of bounds access.
* move `parse*Int` proc change to breaking changes, add double `
* fix strformat precision handling for strings
* add some limited unicode awareness to the precision handling for strings
* improvement suggested by Varriount: use setLen and runeOffset instead of runeSubstr
