fixes#18125
Previously a tuple type like `(T, int)` would match an expected tuple
type `(U, int)` if `T` is a subtype of `U`. This is wrong since the
codegen does not handle type conversions of individual tuple elements in
a type conversion of an entire tuple. For this reason the compiler
already does not accept `(float, int)` for a matched type `(int, int)`,
however the code that checked for which relations are unacceptable
checked for `< isSubtype` rather than `<= isSubtype`, so subtypes were
not included in the unacceptable relations.
Update: Now only considered unacceptable when inheritance is used, as in
[`paramTypesMatch`](3379d26629/compiler/sigmatch.nim (L2252-L2254)).
Ideally subtype relations that don't need conversions, like `nil`,
`seq[empty]`, `range[0..5]` etc would be their own relation
`isConcreteSubtype` (which would also allow us to differentiate with
`openArray[T]`), but this is too big of a refactor for now.
To compensate for this making things like `let x: (Parent, int) =
(Child(), 0)` not compile (they would crash codegen before anyway but
should still work in principle), type inference for tuple constructors
is updated such that they call `fitNode` on the fields and their
expected types, so a type conversion is generated for the individual
subtype element.

Types that aren't `tyRange` and are bigger than 16 bits, so `int32`,
`uint64`, `int` etc, are disallowed as array index range types.
`tyRange` is excluded because the max array size is backend independent
(except for the specific size of `high(uint64)` which crashes the
compiler) and so there should still be an escape hatch for people who
want bigger arrays.
This PR modifies `specializeResetT` so that it generates the proper
reset code for range types. I've tested it in the examples for issues
#23214 and #22462 as well as our codebase, and it seems to fix the
issues I had been experiencing.
fixes#23200, fixes#18866#21065 made it so `auto` proc return types remained as `tyAnything` and
not turned to `tyUntyped`. This had the side effect that anything
previously bound to `tyAnything` in the proc type match was then bound
to the proc return type, which is wrong since we don't know the proc
return type even if we know the expected parameter types (`tyUntyped`
also [does not care about its previous bindings in
`typeRel`](ab4278d217/compiler/sigmatch.nim (L1059-L1061))
maybe for this reason).
Now we mark `tyAnything` return types for routines as `tfRetType` [as
done for other meta return
types](18b5fb256d/compiler/semtypes.nim (L1451)),
and ignore bindings to `tyAnything` + `tfRetType` types in `semtypinst`.
On top of this, we reset the type relation in `paramTypesMatch` only
after creating the instantiation (instead of trusting
`isInferred`/`isInferredConvertible` before creating the instantiation),
using the same mechanism that `isBothMetaConvertible` uses.
This fixes the issues as well as making the disabled t15386_2 test
introduced in #21065 work. As seen in the changes for the other tests,
the error messages give an obscure `proc (a: GenericParam): auto` now,
but it does give the correct error that the overload doesn't match
instead of matching the overload pre-emptively and expecting a specific
return type.
tsugar had to be changed due to #16906, which is the problem where
`void` is not inferred in the case where `result` was never touched.
fixes#23186
As explained in #23186, generics can transform `genericProc[int]` into a
call `` `[]`(genericProc, int) `` which causes a problem when
`genericProc` is resemmed, since it is not a resolved generic proc. `[]`
needs unresolved generic procs since `mArrGet` also handles explicit
generic instantiations, so delay the resolved generic proc check to
`semFinishOperands` which is intentionally not called for `mArrGet`.
The root issue for
[t6137](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/tests/generics/t6137.nim)
is also fixed (because this change breaks it otherwise), the compiler
doesn't consider the possibility that an assigned generic param can be
an unresolved static value (note the line `if t.kind == tyStatic: s.ast
= t.n` below the change in sigmatch), now it properly errors that it
couldn't instantiate it as it would for a type param. ~~The change in
semtypinst is just for symmetry with the code above it which also gives
a `cannot instantiate` error, it may or may not be necessary/correct.~~
Now removed, I don't think it was correct.
Still possible that this has unintended consequences.
fixes#23177
`changeType` doesn't perform range checks to see if the expression fits
the new type [if the old type is the same as the new
type](62d8ca4306/compiler/semexprs.nim (L633)).
For `nkIntLit`, we previously set the type to the concrete base of the
expected type first, then call `changeType`, which works for things like
range types but not bare types of smaller bit size like `int8`. Now we
don't set the type (so the type is nil), and `changeType` performs the
range check when the type is unset (nil).
fixes#22775
It's pre-existing that [`prepareOperand` doesn't typecheck expressions
which have
types](a4f3bf3742/compiler/sigmatch.nim (L2444)).
Templates can take typed subscript expressions, transform them into
calls to `[]`, and then have this `[]` not be resolved later if the
expression is nested inside of a call argument, which leaks an untyped
expression past semantic analysis. To prevent this, don't transform any
typed subscript expressions into calls to `[]` in templates. Ditto for
curly subscripts (with `{}`) and assignments to subscripts and curly
subscripts (with `[]=` and `{}=`).
This is in reference to a [feature
request](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/22142) that I posted.
I'm making this PR to demonstrate the suggested change and expect that
this should be scrutinized

why ?
- We already have an emit that does the same thing
- The name asm itself is a bit confusing, you might think it's an alias
for asm.js or something else.
- The asm keyword is used differently on different compiler targets (it
makes it inexpressive).
- Does anyone (other than some compiler libraries) use asm instead of
emit ? If yes, it's a bit strange to use asm somewhere and emit
somewhere. By making the asm keyword for js target deprecated, there
would be even less use of the asm keyword for js target, reducing the
amount of confusion.
- New users might accidentally use a non-universal approach via the asm
keyword instead of emit, and then when they learn about asm, try to
figure out what the differences are.

When an identifier is ambiguous in scope (i.e. multiple imports contain
symbols with the same name), attempt resolving it through type inference
(by creating a symchoice). To do this efficiently, `qualifiedLookUp` had
to be broken up so that `semExpr` can access the ambiguous candidates
directly (now obtained directly via `lookUpCandidates`).
This fixes the linked issues, but an example like:
```nim
let on = 123
{.warning[ProveInit]: on.}
```
will still fail, since `on` is unambiguously the local `let` symbol here
(this is also true for `proc on` but `proc` symbols generate symchoices
anyway).
Type symbols are not considered to not confuse the type inference. This
includes the change in sigmatch, up to this point symchoices with
nonoverloadable symbols could be created, they just wouldn't be
considered during disambiguation. Now every proper symbol except types
are considered in disambiguation, so the correct symbols must be picked
during the creation of the symchoice node. I remember there being a
violating case of this in the compiler, but this was very likely fixed
by excluding type symbols as CI seems to have found no issues.
The pure enum ambiguity test was disabled because ambiguous pure enums
now behave like overloadable enums with this behavior, so we get a
longer error message for `echo amb` like `type mismatch: got <MyEnum |
OtherEnum> but expected T`
Filling in some more logic in `typeRel` that I came across when poking
the compiler in another PR. Some of the cases where `typeRel` returns an
"incorrect" result are actually common, but `sumGeneric` ends up
breaking the tie correctly. There isn't anything wrong with that
necessarily, but I assume that it's preferred these functions behave
just as well in isolation as they do when integrated.
I will be following up this description with specific examples.
(Inspired by this pragma in nir asm PR)
`inlineAsmSyntax` pragma allowing specify target inline assembler syntax
in `asm` stmt.
It prevents compiling code with different of the target CC inline asm
syntax, i.e. it will not allow gcc inline asm code to be compiled with
vcc.
```nim
proc nothing() =
asm {.inlineAsmSyntax: "gcc".} """
nop
"""
```
The current C(C++) backend implementation cannot generate code for gcc
and for vcc at the same time. For example, `{.inlineAsmSyntax: "vcc".}`
with the ICC compiler will not generate code with intel asm syntax, even
though ICC can use both gcc-like asm and vcc-like. For implement support
for gcc and for vcc at the same time in ICC compiler, we need to
refactor extccomp

Rendering of `nkRecList` produces an indent and adds a new line at the
end. However for things like case object `of`/`else` branches or `when`
branches this is already done, so this produces 2 indents and an extra
new line. Instead, just add an indent in the place where the indent that
`nkRecList` produces is needed, for the rendering of the final node of
`nkObjectTy`. There doesn't seem to be a need to add the newline.

Continued from #23096 which was reverted due to breaking a package and
failing docgen tests. Docgen should now work, but ~~a PR is still

Unsure if `experimental` and `bind` are the perfect constructs to use
but they seem to get the job done here. Symbol nodes do not get marked
`nfOpenSym` if the `bind` statement is used for their symbol, and
`nfOpenSym` nodes do not get replaced by new local symbols if the
experimental switch is not enabled in the local context (meaning it also
works with `push experimental`). However this incurs a warning as the
fact that the node is marked `nfOpenSym` means we did not `bind` it, so
we might want to do that or turn on the experimental switch if we didn't
intend to bind it.
The experimental switch name is arbitrary and could be changed.

This code will crash `check`/`nimsuggest` since the `ra` register is

Testament changes were so I could properly write a test. It would pass
even with a segfault since it could find the error
fixes#22605, separated from #22744
This marks symbol captures in macro calls in generic contexts as
`nfOpenSym`, which means if there is a new symbol in the local
instantiatied body during instantiation time, this symbol replaces the
captured symbol. We have to be careful not to consider symbols outside
of the instantiation body during instantiation, because this will leak
symbols from the instantiation context scope rather than the original
declaration scope. This is done by checking if the local context owner
(maybe should be the symbol of the proc currently getting instantiated
instead? not sure how to get this) is the same as or a parent owner of
the owner of the replacement candidate symbol.
This solution is distinct from the symchoice mechanisms which we
originally assumed had to be related, if this assumption was wrong it
would explain why this solution took so long to arrive at.
Closes#14329
Marks `macros.error` as `.noreturn` so that it can be used in
expressions. This also fixes the issue that occurred in #19659 where a
stmt that could be an expression (Due to having `discardable` procs at
the end of other branches) would believe a `noreturn` proc is returning
the same type e.g.
```nim
proc bar(): int {.discardable.} = discard
if true: bar()
else: quit(0) # Says that quit is of type `int` and needs to be used/discarded except it actually has no return type
```
Just makes the case statements easier to look at when folded
```nim
case foo
of a:
of b:
of c:
else:
case bar:
of a:
of b:
of c:
of d:
else:
```
to
```nim
case foo
of a:
of b:
of c:
else:
case bar:
of a:
of b:
of c:
of d:
else:
```
