* --define:nimQuirky exception handling for Nim; in preparation of a blog post
* make it work with latest system.nim
* make code more readable
* fixes#10702
* Prevent crash on pragma templates w/ generics
* Remove incorrect call to pragma reconversion
`semOverloadedCall` may return a node with more elements than the
original nkCall node had (implicit and/or explicit generics).
* Make index out of bounds more useful by including the 'bounds'.
* fixes#9880 index out of bounds (remaining cases); revives #10228
* change err msg to: `index 3 not in 0 .. 1`
* Misc cleanup in macro code
Generate error messages using `error` instead of `assert`.
Fixes#10574
* Fix crash with hasCustomPragma on quoted fields
Use the `$` operator instead of reaching for the `strVal` field directly
* Rework exception handling in the VM
Make the safepoint handling more precise and less forgiving.
The new code is clearer and more commented.
Perform cleanup on `return`.
The no-exception-thrown case in a try block should be slightly faster
since we don't parse the whole set of exceptions every time.
More tests.
* Fix silly error that broke a few tests
* Testament doesn't like files having the same name
* Remove test case that failed compilation to js
* move IO subsystem into its own module; refs #10385
* make standalone test compile again
* make C++ examples compile again
* make more tests green
* make sysAssert and gcAssert work again
This allows spaces in imports, by using the following syntax:
* `import "directory with spaces" / subdir / file`, or
* `import "directory with spaces/subdir/file"`
* kochdocs.nim: code cleanup
* docgen: nicer indentation
* parser.nim: code cleanup
* fixes#10458
* make tests green again
* make =destroy mixins
* gc:destructors: produced C code is almost working
* --gc:destructors simple program compiles (but leaks memory)
* gc:destructors make examples compile in C++ mode
* destructors: string implementation bugfixes
* strs.nim: minor code cleanup
* destructors: builtin seqs are beginning to work
* remove debugging helpers
* fix#10339 by checking for nkObjConstr
* revert check for nkObjConstr, return type from nkEmpty node
The correct type needed in `semObjConstr` to fix#10339 is indeed
available, but attached to an `nkEmpty` node. These were previously
discarded in `semTypeNode`, which is used to extract the type for the
object.
* simplify return of PType from `nkEmpty`
* also fixes#9866, add test case
