* WIP: an optimizer for ARC
* do not optimize away destructors in 'finally' if unstructured control flow is involved
* optimized the optimizer
* minor code cleanup
* first steps to .cursor inference
* cursor inference: big steps to a working solution
* baby steps
* better .cursor inference
* new feature: expandArc for easy inspection of the AST after ARC transformations
* added topt_cursor test
* adapt tests
* cleanups, make tests green
* optimize common traversal patterns
* moved test case
* fixes .cursor inference so that npeg compiles once again
* cursor inference: more bugfixes

* Crude VM profiler
* Added --profileVM flag, refactoring
* fixed FileLine hash
* Use TLineInfo instead of own FileLine, updated formatting
* Refactoring, moved PStackFrame to vmdefs for cleaner data structure
* Moved vmprofiler to separate file
* Simplified TLineInfo hash, use toFileLineCol for output
* Hash
* Moved profile data into Config, dump only once at end of run
* Changed profile output header to show '#instr' instead of 'count'
* Do not accumulate instrcount for non-top frames

* I don't care about observable stores
* enforce explicit initializations
* cleaner code for the stdlib
* stdlib: use explicit initializations
* make tests green
* algorithm.nim: set result explicitly
* remove out parameters and bring the PR into a mergable state
* updated the changelog
* Clarify the use of the backwards index operator (^N) in tut1
For consistency:
- Do `[a .. ^b]` (notice spaces on both sides of `..`)
- Do `[c ..< d]` (notice spaces on both sides of `..<`)
Fixes https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/14671.
* tut1: Add a note that ^ template calls can be saved to consts
* update doc CI filter to include the files mostly likely to require doc rebuild
* remove code duplication in ./config/nimdoc.cfg; show link to compiler docs, various fixes
* walkDirRecFilter, factor nativeToUnixPath workaround
* glob for getRst2html
* docslocal: 40s to build all docs
* revert code dedup in github actions which did not work alas...
* fixups
Removed phrase "However, this is no real restriction because
Nim's syntax is flexible enough anyway." from the manual - I find it
very subjective, and I sometimes *do* find myself restricted by Nim's
syntax when writing DSLs
* Allow let to not have value when using importc
This allows a let statement with the `{.importc.}` pragma to not be
initialised with a value. This allows us to declare C constants as Nim
lets without putting the value in the Nim code (which can lead to
errors, and requires us to go looking for the value). Fixes#14253
* Proper fix and documentation + changelog entry
* Improve testcase with one from timotheecour
* Add test to verify it working with macros
`if expressions` are similar to ternary operators in other languages.
In order to make this easier to find in the manual, I've added a
sentence about it.
* do not track 'raise Defect' in the .raises: [] clause anymore
* --panics:on maps 'raise Defect' to an unrecoverable fatal error
* make tests green again
* update the documentation too
* `nim doc --backend:js|cpp...`
`nim doc --doccmd:'-d:foo --threads:on'`
`nim r --backend:cpp...` (implies --run --usenimcache)
* --usenimcache works with all targets
* --docCmd:skip now skips compiling snippets; 50X speedup for doc/manual.rst
