fixes#24269, refs #20095
Instead of checking the package of the *used sym* to determine whether a
stylecheck should trigger, we check the package of the lineinfo instead.
Before #20095 this checked for the current compilation context module
instead which caused issues with generic procs, but the lineinfo should
more closely match the AST.
I figured this might cause issues with includes etc but the foreign
package test specifically tests for an include and passes, so maybe the
package determining logic accounts for this already. This still might
not be the correct logic, I'm not too familiar with the package handling
in the compiler.

The code in the `if` branch replaces the current destination `d` with a
new one. But the location `d` can be an assignment location, in which
case the provided expression isn't generated. To fix this, don't trigger
this code for when the location already exists. An alternative would be
to call `putIntoDest` in this case as is done below.

I have added a new overload of `^` for float exponents.
Is two overloads for `float32` and `float64` better than just one
overload with `SomeFloat` type ?
I guess this would not work with `SomeFloat`, as `pow` is not defined
for `float`.
Another remark. Maybe we should catch exponents with 0.5 and call `sqrt`
instead ?

fixes#24091, refs #24092
Any instantiations resolving to a generic body type now gives an error.
Due to #24092, this does not error in cases like matching against `type
M` in generics because generic body type symbols are just not
instantiated. But this prevents parameters with type `type M` from being
used, although there doesn't seem to be any code which does this. Just
in case such code exists, we still allow `typedesc` types resolving to
generic body types.

As explained in the issue, `getOrDefault` has a parameter named
`default` that can be a proc after generic instantiation. But the
parameter having a proc type [overrides all other
overloads](f73e03b132/compiler/semexprs.nim (L1203))
including the magic `system.default` overload and causes a compile error
if the proc doesn't match the normal use of `default`. To fix this, the
`result = default(B)` initializer call is removed because it's not
needed, `result` is always set in `getOrDefaultImpl` when a default
value is provided.
This is still a suspicious behavior of the compiler but `tables` working
has a higher priority.

Same as in #24183 for templates, we now process pragma nodes in generics
so that macro symbols are captured and the pragma arguments are checked,
but ignoring language pragma keywords.
A difference is that we cannot process call nodes as is, we have to
process their children individually so that the early untyped
macro/template instantiation in generics does not kick in.

fixes#24233
Integer literals with type `int` can match `int64` with a generic match.
Normally this would generate an conversion via `isFromIntLit`, but when
it matches with a generic match (`isGeneric`) the node is left alone and
continues to have type `int` (related to #4858, but separate; since
`isFromIntLit > isGeneric` it doesn't propagate). This did not cause
problems on the C backend up to this point because either the compiler
generated a cast when generating the C code or it was implicitly casted
in the C code itself. On the JS backend however, we need to generate
`int64` and `int` values differently, so we copy the integer literal and
give it the matched type now instead.
This is somewhat risky even if CI passes but it's required to make the
times module work without [this
workaround](7dfadb8b4e/lib/pure/times.nim (L219-L238))
on `--jsbigint64:on` (the default).
CI exposed an issue: When matching an int literal to a generic parameter
in a generic instantiation, the literal is only treated like a value if
it has `int literal` type, but if it has the type `int`, it gets
transformed into literally the type `int` (#12664, #13906), which breaks
the tests t14193 and t12938. To deal with this, we don't give it the
type `int` if we are in a generic instantiation and preserve the `int
literal` type.

When encountering pragma nodes in templates, if it's a language pragma,
we don't process the name, and only any values if they exist. If it's
not a language pragma, we process the full node. Previously only the
values of colon expressions were processed.
To make this simpler, `whichPragma` is patched to consider bracketed
hint/warning etc pragmas like `{.hint[HintName]: off.}` as being a
pragma of kind `wHint` rather than an invalid pragma which would have to
be checked separately. From looking at the uses of `whichPragma` this
doesn't seem like it would cause problems.
Generics have [the same
problem](a27542195c/compiler/semgnrc.nim (L619))
(causing #18649), but to make it work we need to make sure the
templates/macros don't get evaluated or get evaluated correctly (i.e.
passing the proc node as the final argument), either with #23094 or by
completely disabling template/macro evaluation when processing the
pragma node, which would also cover `{.pragma.}` templates.

fixes#24228, refs #22022
As described in
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/24228#issuecomment-2392462221,
instantiating generic routines inside `typeof` causes all code inside to
be treated as being in a typeof context, and thus preventing compile
time proc folding, causing issues when code is generated for the
instantiated routine. Now, instantiated generic procs are treated as
never being inside a `typeof` context.
This is probably an arbitrary special case and more issues with the
`typeof` behavior from #22022 are likely. Ideally this behavior would be
removed but it's necessary to accomodate the current [proc `declval` in
the package `stew`](https://github.com/status-im/nim-stew/pull/190), at
least without changes to `compileTime` that would either break other
code (making it not eagerly fold by default) or still require a change
in stew (adding an option to disable the eager folding).
Alternatively we could also make the eager folding opt-in only for
generic compileTime procs so that #22022 breaks nothing whatsoever, but
a universal solution would be better. Edit: Done in #24230 via
experimental switch

fixes#18396, fixes#20142
Set types with base types matching less than a generic match (so
subrange matches, conversion matches, int conversion matches) are now
considered mismatching, as their representation is different on the
backends (except VM and JS), causing codegen issues. An exception is
granted for set literal types, which now implicitly convert each element
to the matched base type, so things like `s == {'a', 'b'}` are still
possible where `s` is `set[range['a'..'z']]`. Also every conversion
match in this case is unified under the normal "conversion" match, so a
literal doesn't match one set type better than the other, unless it's
equal.
However `{'a', 'b'} == s` or `{'a', 'b'} - s` etc is now not possible.
when it used to work in the VM. So this is somewhat breaking, and needs
a changelog entry.

Previously, the compiler never differentiated between `untyped`/`typed`
argument default values and other types, it considered any parameter
with a type as typed and called `semExprWithType`, which both
typechecked it and disallowed `void` expressions. Now, we perform no
typechecking at all on `untyped` template param default values, and call
`semExpr` instead for `typed` params, which allows expressions with
`void` type.

When resemming bracket nodes, the compiler currently unconditionally
makes a new node with an array type based on the node. However the VM
can generate bracket nodes with `seq` types, which this erases. To fix
this, if a bracket node already has a type, we still resem the bracket
node, but don't construct a new type for it, instead using the type of
the original node.
A version of this was rejected that didn't resem the node at all if it
was typed, but I can't find it. The difference with this one is that the
individual elements are still resemmed.
This should fix the break caused by #24184 so we could redo it after
this PR but it might still have issues, not to mention the related
pre-existing issues like #22793, #12559 etc.

The `-d:nimUseCAtomics` flag added in #24207 is now inverted and made

`semTypeNode` is called twice for RHS'es of type sections,
[here](b0e6d28782/compiler/semstmts.nim (L1612))
and
[here](b0e6d28782/compiler/semstmts.nim (L1646)).
Each time `prev` is `s.typ`, but the assertion expects `prev == nil`
which is false since `s.typ` is not nil the second time. To fix this,
the `prev == nil` part of the assertion is removed.
The reason this only happens for types like `seq[int]`, `(int, int)` etc
is because they don't have syms: `semTypeIdent` attempts to directly
[replace the typedesc param
itself](b0e6d28782/compiler/semtypes.nim (L1916))
with the sym of the base type of the resolved typedesc type if it
exists, which means `semTypeNode` doesn't receive the typedesc param sym
to perform the assert.
fixes#22523
There were 2 problems with the code in `sameType` for
`dcEqIgnoreDistinct`:
1. The code that skipped `{tyDistinct, tyGenericInst}` only ran if the
given types had different kinds. This is fixed by always performing this
skip.
2. The code block below that checks if `tyGenericInst`s have different
values still ran for `dcEqIgnoreDistinct` since it checks if the given
types are generic insts, not the skipped types (and also only the 1st
given type). This is fixed by only invoking this block for `dcEq`;
`dcEqOrDistinctOf` (which is unused) also skips the first given type.
Arguably there is another issue here that `skipGenericAlias` only ever
skips 1 type.
These combined fix the issue (`T` is `GenericInst(V, 1, distinct int)`
and `D[0]` is `GenericInst(D, 0, distinct int)`).
#24037 shouldn't be a dependency but the diff follows it.

`getType` for proc types generated an `nkProcTy` for iterator types
instead of `nkIteratorTy`, and didn't generate a calling convention
pragma unless it was in the proc AST. Iterator types now generate
`nkIteratorTy`, and a calling convention pragma is added if the calling
convention isn't `closure` or was explicitly provided.

The compiler generates conversion nodes *after* evaluating the branches
of case statements as constants, the reasoning is that case branches
accept constants of different types, like arrays or sets. But this means
that conversion nodes that need to be evaluated like converter calls
don't get evaluated as a constant for codegen. #8336 fixed this by
re-evaluating the node if an `nkHiddenCallConv` was created, and in
#20130 this logic also had to be added for `nkHiddenStdConv` for
cstrings. This logic was only for single case elements, it has now been
added to range elements as well to fix#11422. Additionally, all
conversion nodes are now evaluated for simplicity, but maybe this won't
pass CI.
fixes#19866 given #23997
When searching for a module-qualified symbol, `qualifiedLookUp` tries to
obtain the raw identifier from the RHS of the dot field. However it only
does this when the RHS is either an `nkIdent` or an `nkAccQuoted` node,
not when the node is a resolved symbol or a symchoice, such as in
templates and generics when the module symbol can't be resolved yet.
Since the LHS is a module symbol when the compiler checks for this, any
resolved symbol information doesn't matter, since it has to be a member
of the module. So we now obtain the identifier from these nodes as well
as the unresolved identifier nodes.
The test is a bit niche and possibly not officially supported, but this
is likely a more general problem and I just couldn't think of another
test that would be more "proper". It's better than the error message
`'a' has no type` at least.
fixes#24179
The original fix made it so calls to `skError`/`skUnknown` (in this case
`->`, for some reason `sugar` couldn't be imported) returned an error
node, however this breaks tsug_accquote for some reason I don't
understand (it even parses as `tsug_accquote.discard`) so I've just
added a guard based on the stacktrace.

When pragmas are pushed to a routine, if the routine symbol AST isn't
nil by the time the pushed pragmas are being processed, the pragmas are
implicitly added to the symbol AST. However this is done without
restriction on the pragma, if the pushed pragma isn't supposed to apply
to the routine, it's still added to the routine. This is why the symbol
AST for templates wasn't set before the pushed pragma processing in
#18124. Now, the pragmas added to the AST are restricted to ones that
apply to the given routine. This means we can set the template symbol
AST earlier so that the pragmas get added to the template AST.
fixes#24164, regression from #20091
The expression `nil` as the default value of template parameter `x:
untyped` is typechecked with expected type `untyped` since #20091. The
expected type is checked if it matches the `nil` literal with a match
better than a subtype match, and the type is set to it if it does.
However `untyped` matches with a generic match which is better, so the
`nil` literal has type `untyped`. This breaks type matching for the
literal. So if the expected type is `untyped` or `typed`, it is now
ignored and the `nil` literal just has the `nil` type.
When importing from subdirectories, the line info used in `UnusedImport`
warning would be the `/` node and not the actual module node. More
obvious with grouped imports where all unused imports would show the
same column
Fix is to just use the last child node for infixes when getting the line
info
Added in #24119, the test checks if every string produced is equal, but
the value of the strings depend on the `now()` timestamp of when they
were produced. 30 of them are produced in a for loop in sequence with
each other, but the first one is set after the data is marshalled into
and unmarshalled from a file. This means the timestamp strings can
differ depending on the execution time and causes this test to be flaky.
Instead we just make 2 strings from the same data and check if they
equal each other.

An exception is raised in the `semExprWithType` call, which means `dec
c.inTypeofContext` is never called, but `compiles` allows compilation to
continue. This means `c.inTypeofContext` is left perpetually nonzero,
which prevents `compileTime` evaluation for the rest of the program.
To fix this, `defer:` is used for the `dec c.inTypeofContext` call, as
is done for
[`instCounter`](d51d88700b/compiler/seminst.nim (L374))
in other parts of the compiler.
fixes#22276
When matching against `tyFromExpr`, the compiler tries to instantiate it
then operates on the potentially instantiated type. But the way it does
this is inverted, it checks if the instantiated type matches the
argument type, not if the argument type matches the instantiated type.
This has been the case since
ac271e76b1 (diff-251afcd01d239369019495096c187998dd6695b6457528953237a7e4a10f7138),
which doesn't comment on it, so I'm guessing this isn't intended. I
don't know if it would break anything though.

The generic mismatch errors added in #24010 made it possible for `nArg`
to be `nil` in the error reporting since it checked the call argument
list, not the generic parameter list for the mismatching argument node,
which causes a segfault. This is fixed by checking the generic parameter
list immediately on any generic mismatch error.
Also the `typedesc` type is skipped for the value of the generic params
since it's redundant and the generic parameter constraints don't have
it.
fixes#21441
When compiling for JS, nimscript config files have both `defined(js)`
and `defined(nimscript)` be true at the same time. This is required so
that the nimscript config file knows the current compilation is for the
JS backend. However the system module doesn't account for this in some
cases, defining JS-specific code or not defining nimscript-specific code
when compiling such nimscript files. To fix this, have the `nimscript`
define take priority over the `js` one.
fixes#22661
Range expressions in `of` branches in `case` statements start off as
calls to `..` then become `nkRange` when getting typed. For this reason
the compiler leaves `nkRange` alone when type checking the case
statements again, but it still does the exhaustiveness checking for the
entire case statement, and leaving the range alone means it doesn't
count the values of the range for exhaustiveness. So the counting is now
also done on `nkRange` nodes in the same way as when typechecking it the
first time.
alternative to #24101#23892 changed the opensym experimental switch so that it has to be
enabled in the context of the generic/template declarations capturing
the symbols, not the context of the instantiation of the
generics/templates. This was to be in line with where the compiler gives
the warnings and changes behavior in a potentially breaking way.
However `results` [depends on the old
behavior](71d404b314/results.nim (L1428)),
so that the callers of the macros provided by results always take
advantage of the opensym behavior. To accomodate this, we change the
behavior of the old experimental option that `results` uses,
`genericsOpenSym`, so that ignores the information of whether or not
symbols are intentionally opened and always gives the opensym behavior
as long as it's enabled at instantiation time. This should keep
`results` working as is. However this differs from the normal opensym
switch in that it doesn't generate `nnkOpenSym`.
Before it was just a generics-only version of `openSym` along with
`templateOpenSym` which was only for templates. So `templateOpenSym` is
removed along with this change, but no one appears to have used it.

`var`/pointer types are no longer implicitly convertible to each other
if their element types either:
* require an int conversion or another conversion operation as long as
it's not to `openarray`,
* are subtypes with pointer indirection,
Previously any conversion below a subrange match would match if the
element type wasn't a pointer type, then it would error later in
`analyseIfAddressTaken`.
Different from #24038 in that the preview define that made subrange
matches also fail to match is removed for a simpler diff so that it can
be backported.

Sym nodes in templates that could be open are [given `nil`
type](22d2cf2175/compiler/semtempl.nim (L274))
when `--experimentalOpenSym` is disabled so that they can be semchecked
to give a warning since #24007. The first nodes of object constructors
(in this case) and in type conversions don't replace their first node
(the symbol) with a typechecked one, they only call `semTypeNode` on it
and leave it as is.
Effect tracking checks if the type of a sym node has a destructor to
check if the node type should be replaced with the sym type. But this
causes a segfault when the type of the node is nil. To fix this, we
always set the node type to the sym type if the node type is nil.
Alternatively `semObjConstr` and `semConv` could be changed to set the
type of their first node to the found type but I'm not sure if this
would break anything. They could call `semExprWithType` on the first
node but `semTypeNode` would still have to be called (maybe call it
before?). This isn't a problem if the sym node has a type but is just
nested in `nkOpenSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice` which have nil type instead
(i.e. with openSym enabled), so maybe this still is the "most general"
solution, I don't know.
