* remove a condition that table size must be passed as power of 2
* remove power-of-2 condition from sets and sharedtables
* remove power-of-2 condition from deques
* use 'correctSize' for both branches
* prettify changelog.md and fix typos
* add a changelog entry
* fix double-call of 'right-size'
* fix the same thing in sets.nim
* introduce a new internal proc `slotsNeeded`
Deprecate the public proc `rightSize`, which is not needed anymore.
Now it is an identity function, allowing the old code to work
correctly and without extra allocations.
The `smallest` and `largest` procs for `CountTable` returned a tuple
with named fields, but the same procs for `CountTableRef` returned an
anonymous tuple.
This commit makes those `CountTableRef` procs more consistent, and adds
a test.
Fixes: #14918
New issue: since `Table[A, B]` allocates its backing storage with
`newSeq[KeyValuePair[A, B]]`, it's no longer legal to create a table
with `not nil` types used as either keys or values.
* fix#13496 handle tombstones
* add test
* more tests
* fix#13504; add SharedTable tests
* fix #https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/13505 intsets.missingOrExcl silently gave wrong results sometimes
* add test for tintsets
* use existing sort for CountTable, and
add SortOrder options to CountTable, OrderedTable sort(s)
* add some tests, runnables, etc.
* fix runnable imports
* added `==` for OrderedTable, CountTable and the *Ref types
* added missing documentation to all `==` procs
* fixed clear() for OrderedTables, which did not work because `var`
does not work well with `|`
* added tests
The tests for tables.clear() in tests/collections/ttables.nim currently fail as a result of #4448, so I've wrapped them in a
'when false' to disable them until the bug is fixed.
- In sets, tables, strtabs, critbits, xmltree
- This uses the new var parameter overloading
- mget variants still exist, but are deprecated in favor of `[]`
- Includes tests and fixed tests and usages of mget
- The non-var `[]` now throws an exception instead of returning binary 0
or an empty string
Fixes an error with mpairs iterator which was introduced with 5fbcf93860. This is used by nimforum thats why I found it. I also added a testcase for the mpairs iterator.
