* Error -> Defect for defects
The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective,
context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an
exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when
looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding
definition and digging through layers of inheritance.
With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible
to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set
a good example here.
* -d:checkabi obsolete (ABI check now enforced); add `addTypeHeader` helper
* cleanups
* import sizeof at CT for {.completeType.}
* address comments; revert default enabling of -d:checkAbi for now
* mimportc_size_check.nim => msizeof5.nim; merge mabi_check.nim into msizeof5.nim; refactor
* all pragmas in errmsgs should be written: '.importc' (un-ambiguous and less verbose than {.importc.})
* drnim: tiny progress
* refactoring complete
* drnim: prove .ensures annotations
* Moved code around to avoid code duplication
* drnim: first implementation of the 'old' property
* drnim: be precise about the assignment statement
* first implementation of --assumeUnique
* progress on forall/exists handling
The new mechanism can deal with more complex scenarios such as
not nil field appearing in a non-default case object branch or
a field within a generic object that may depend on a when branch.
The commit also plugs another hole: the user is no longer able
to create illegal default values through seq.setLen(N).
* code cleanups and feature additions
* added basic test and koch/CI integration
* make it build on Unix
* DrNim: now buildable on Unix, only takes 10 minutes, enjoy
* added basic documentation for DrNim which can also be seen as the RFC we're following
* drnim: change the build setup so that drnim.exe ends up in bin/
* makes simple floating point ranges work
* added basic float range check
* drnim: teach Z3 about Nim's range types plus code refactoring
* drnim: make unsigned numbers work
* added and fixed index checking under setLen
* first implementation of .ensures, .invariant and .assume (.requires still missing and so is proc type compatibility checking
* drnim: .requires checking implemented
* drnim: implemented .ensures properly
* more impressive test involving min()
* drnim: check for proc type compatibility and base method compatibility wrt .requires and .ensures
* testament: support for 'pattern <directory>
* koch: uses new <directory> feature of testament
* drnim: added tiny musings about 'old'
* Make testament work with old SSL versions
* koch: add support for 'koch drnim -d:release'
* drnim: preparations for the param.old notation
* new minor feature: macros for proc types, to be documented
* Finished the implementation and added tests
* [skip ci] Describe the new custom pragmas in the manual and the changelog

* 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#13150 `nim doc --project` works with duplicate names and with imports below main project file
* add to help; fixup after #13212 isRelativeTo got merged
* fix test tests/compilerapi/tcompilerapi.nim
* remove nimblePkg field; compute on the fly instead
* kochdocs: compiler docs now under compiler/
* --docRoot now has smart default: best among @pkg, @path
* VM: allow certain hardcoded special var variables at CT
* VM: allow all importc var, cast[int](ptr)
* fix tests tests/vm/tstaticprintseq.nim, tests/cpp/t8241.nim
* VM: == works for ptr/pointer nodes
* bugfix: ==, cast now also works for pointer, not just ptr
* VM supports cast PtrLikeKinds <=> PtrLikeKinds / int
* improve cname handling
* fixup + bug fix
* VM: support cast from ref to int
* address comment: opcLdGlobalDeref => opcLdGlobalDerefFFI
* defensive check against typ == nil
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.
* first implementation of the =trace and =dispose hooks for the cycle collector
* a cycle collector for ARC: progress
* manual: the .acyclic pragma is a thing once again
* gcbench: adaptations for --gc:arc
* enable valgrind tests for the strutils tests
* testament: better valgrind support
* ARC refactoring: growable jumpstacks
* ARC cycle detector: non-recursive algorithm
* moved and renamed core/ files back to system/
* refactoring: --gc:arc vs --gc:orc since 'orc' is even more experimental and we want to ship --gc:arc soonish
* cursors: first implementation
* added currently failing test
* .cursor works for doubly linked lists
* make -d:useMalloc work again
* added code to nil out refs in a destructor
* it's now called --gc:arc
* renderer.nim: render nkBreakState properly
* make simple closure iterators work without leaking
