* allow defects to be caught even for --exceptions:goto (WIP)
* implemented the new --panics:on|off switch; refs https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/180
* new implementation for integer overflow checking
* produce a warning if a user-defined exception type inherits from Exception directly
* applied Timothee's suggestions; improved the documentation and replace the term 'checked runtime check' by 'panic'
* fixes#13627
* don't inherit from Exception directly
* ensure capitalize doesn't take an inferred sink parameter
* sink parameter inference: first version, for now disabled. Changed that sink parameters can be consumed multiple times in order to adhere to our spec.
* sink inference can now be disabled with .nosinks; sometimes for proc type interop this is required
* fixes yet another critical DFA bug
* better implementation that also understands if expressions etc
* document sink parameter inference and allow for global disabling
* fix#9634 debugging a program using execCmdEx now works
* only apply EINTR to c_gets for now
This reverts commit c0f5305b5a0b46983dfd27e3d77ecbf4f8744dcc.
On some OSes (such as FreeBSD or Solaris), pthread_attr_init allocate
memory. So it is necessary to deallocate that memory by using
pthread_attr_destroy.
* Cleanup, remove lib/system/allocators.nim. seqs_v2 and strs_v2 now use
allocShared0 by default.
* Fixed -d:useMalloc allocShared / reallocShared / deallocShared. These now use the alloc/dealloc/realloc implementation that also takes care of zeroing memory at realloc.
* Removed debug printfs
* Removed unpairedEnvAllocs() from tests/destructor/tnewruntime_misc
* More mmdisp cleanups. The shared allocators do not need to zero memory or throw since the regular ones already do that
* Introduced realloc0 and reallocShared0, these procs are now used by
strs_v2 and seqs_v2. This also allowed the -d:useMalloc allocator to
drop the extra header with allocation length.
* Moved strs_v2/seqs_v2 'allocated' flag into 'cap' field
* Added 'getAllocStats()' to get low level alloc/dealloc counters. Enable with -d:allocStats
* *allocShared implementations for boehm and go allocators now depend on the proper *allocImpl procs
* system/gc: don't export markStackAndRegisters
* compiler/cgen: unexport internal symbols
As these functions are Nim-specific walkaround against C's optimization
schemes, they don't serve any purpose being exported.
* compiler/cgen: don't export global var unless marked
* compiler/ccgthreadvars: don't export threadvar unless marked
* tests/dll/visibility: also check for exports
This ensure that these changes don't break manual exports.
* compiler/cgen: hide all variables created for constants
* compiler/ccgtypes: don't export RTTI variables
* compiler/ccgexprs: make all complex const static
* nimbase.h: fix export for windows
* compiler/cgen, ccgthreadvars: export variables correctly
For C/C++ variables, `extern` means that the variable is defined in an
another unit. Added a new N_LIB_EXPORT_VAR to correctly export
variables.
* fixes#13102
* closes#13149
* ARC: fixes a move optimizer bug (there are more left regarding array and tuple indexing)
* proper fix; fixes#12957
* fixes yet another case object '=' code generation problem
* os:any implementation
* os:asny: omit flock/funlock calls in echoBinSafe
* Disabled default "unhandled expection" reporting for `--os:any` to reduce
code size. Added unhandledExceptionHook instead which can be used to get
a notification from Nim and handle it from the application.
This implements "deterministic" exception handling for Nim based on goto instead of setjmp. This means raising an exception is much cheaper than in C++'s table based implementations. Supports hard realtime systems. Default for --gc:arc and the C target because it's generally a good idea and arc is all about deterministic behavior.
Note: This implies that fatal runtime traps are not catchable anymore! This needs to be documented.
