Working off the minimized example, my understanding of the issue is: `n`
captures `r` as `:envP.r1` where `:envP` is the environment of `b`, then
`proc () = n()` does the lambda lifting of `n` again (which isn't done
if the `proc ()` is marked `{.closure.}`, hence the workaround) which
then captures the `:envP` as another field inside the `:envP`, so it
generates `:envP.:envP_2.r1` but the `.:envP_2` field is `nil`, so it
causes a segfault.
The problem is that the capture of `r` in `n` is done inside
`detectCapturedVars` for the surrounding closure iterator: inner procs
are not special cased and traversed as regular nodes, so it thinks it's
inside the iterator and generates a field access of `:envP` freely. The
lambda lifting version of `detectCapturedVars` ignores inner procs and
works off of symbol uses (anonymous iterator and lambda declarations
pretend their symbol is used).
As a naive solution, closure iterators now also ignore inner proc
declarations same as `lambdalifting.detectCapturedVars`, but unlike it
they also don't do anything for the inner proc symbols. Lambdalifting
seems to properly handle the lifted variables but in the worst case we
can also make sure `closureiters.detectCapturedVars` traverses inner
procs by marking every local of the closure iter used in them as needing
lifting (but not doing the lifting). This does not seem necessary for
now so it's not done (was done and reverted in [this
commit](9bb39a9259)),
but regressions are still possible

The code was already there that when `propertyWriteAccess` returns `nil`
(i.e. cannot find a setter), `semAsgn` turns the [LHS into a call and
semchecks
it](1ef9a656d2/compiler/semexprs.nim (L1941-L1948)),
meaning if a setter cannot be found a getter will be assigned to
instead. However `propertyWriteAccess` never returned nil, because
`semOverloadedCallAnalyseEffects` was not called with `efNoUndeclared`
and so produced an error directly. So `efNoUndeclared` is passed to this
call so this code works as intended.
This fixes the issue described in #4711 which was closed because
subscripts do not have the same behavior implemented. However we can
implement this for subscripts as well (I have an implementation ready),
it just changes the error message from the failed overloads of `[]=` to
the failed overloads of `[]` for the LHS, which might be misleading but
is consistent with the error messages for any other assignment. I can do
this in this PR or another one.

The `{.size.}` pragma no longer restricts the given size to 1, 2, 4 or 8

Instead of matching generic converters to their arguments using the full
call match bindings, a new match is created for them (from which the
bindings are used to instantiate the converter return type). Then when
instantiating generic converters, they are matched to their argument
again to get their bindings again instead of using the call bindings.
This prevents generic converters which match more than once from
interfering with each other's bindings.

(cherry picked from commit 4d075dc301)
fixes#24484, fixes#24672
When an array, set or tuple constructor has an element that resolves to
`tyFromExpr`, the type of the entire literal is now set to `tyFromExpr`
and the subsequent elements are not matched to any type.
The remaining expressions are still typed (a version of the PR before
this called `semGenericStmt` on them instead), however elements with int
literal types have their types set to `nil`, since generic instantiation
removes int literal types and the int literal type is required for
implicitly converting the int literal element to the set type. Tuples
should not really need this but it is done for them anyway in case it
messes up some type inference

Previously it would try to parse the semicolon as its own statement and
produce an `nkEmpty` node
Also more than 1 semicolon in an expression list i.e. `(a;; b)` gives an
"expression expected" error in `semiStmtList` when multiple semicolons
are allowed in normal statements, this could be fixed by changing the
`if tok.kind == tokSemicolon` check to a `while` but it does not match
the grammar so not done here.

`=copy` should be treated like `=` instead of `shallowCopy`, i.e.,
`nkFastAsgn` by default. `mAsgn` is treated similar in sempass2 too
(cherry picked from commit 51166ab382)
ref https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/24764
To keep destructors injected consistently, we need to transform `mAsgn`
properly into `nkSinkAsgn` and `nkAsgn`. This PR is the first step
towards overhauling hook injections.
In this PR, hooks (except mAsgn) are treated consistently whether it is
resolved in matching or instantiated by sempass2. It also fixes a
spelling `=wasMoved` to its normalized version, which caused no
replacing generic hook calls with lifted hook calls.

Object constructors call `fillObjectFields` when a field inside the
constructor does not have a location, however when the field is from a
base type this does not process it. Now `fillObjectFields` also calls
itself for the base type to fix this but not sure if this is a good
solution as `fillObjectFields` is used in other places too.

It inserts defect handing into a bare except branch
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
echo "nope"
```
=>
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
# New behaviov, now well-defined: **never** catches the assert, regardless of panic mode
raiseDefect()
echo "nope"
```
In this way, `except` still catches foreign exceptions, but panics on
`Defect`. Probably when Nim has `except {.foreign.}`, we can extend
`raiseDefect` to foreign exceptions as well. That's supposed to be a
small use case anyway.
`--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.

Blocks don't merge symbols that are used before destruction to the
parent scope, which causes `wasMoved; destroy` to elide incorrectly
(cherry picked from commit 73aeac81d1)
fixes#24801
Because distinct `seq` types match `proc `=destroy`*[T](x: var T)
{.inline, magic: "Destroy".}`. But the Nim compiler generates lifted seq
types for corresponding distinct types. So we skip the address for
distinct types.
Related to https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/22207 I had a hard time

```nim
proc foo =
var x = "1234"
var y = x
when nimvm:
discard
else:
var s = x
doAssert s == "1234"
doAssert y == "1234"
static: foo()
foo()
```
`dfa` chooses the `nimvm` branch, `x` is misread as a last read and
`wasMoved`.
`injectDestructor` is used for codegen and is not used for vmgen. It's
reasonable to choose the codegen path instead of the `nimvm` path so the
code works for codegen. Though the problem is often hidden by
`cursorinference` or `optimizer`.

(cherry picked from commit 3617d2e077)
This change adds `withValue` templates for the `Table` type that are
able to operate on immutable table values -- the existing implementation
requires a `var`.
This is needed for situations where performance is sensitive. There are
two goals with my implementation:
1. Don't create a copy of the value in the table. That's why I need the
`cursor` pragma. Otherwise, it would copy the value
2. Don't double calculate the hash. That's kind of intrinsic with this
implementation. But the only way to achieve this without this PR is to
first check `if key in table` then to read `table[key]`
I brought this up in the discord and a few folks tried to come up with
options that were as fast as this, but nothing quite matched the
performance here. Thread starts here:

- `system.substr` now uses `copymem` when available, introducing a small
template for nimvm detection (#12517#12518)
- Docs are updated to clarify behaviour on out-of-bounds input
- Runnable examples cover more edge cases and do not repeat between
overloads
- Docs now explain the difference between overloads
What bothers me is that the `substr*(a: openArray[char]): string =`
which was added by @beef331 is practically an implementation of #14810,
which is just a conversion from `openArray` to `string` but somehow it
ended up being a `substr` overload, even though its behaviour is totally
different, _the "substringing" is performed by a previous step_
(conversion to openArray) and the bounds are not checked. I'm not sure
it's that great for overloads to differ in subtle ways so much.
What are the cases that `substr` covers now, that prohibit renaming it
to `toString` (or something like that)?
(cherry picked from commit b82d7e8ba1)
Multiple replacements based on character sets in a single pass. Useful
for string sanitation. Follows existing `multiReplace` semantics.
Note: initially copied the substring version logic with a `while` and a
named block break, but Godbolt showed it had produced slightly larger
assembly using higher registers than the final version.

This proc `genStmt` is only called to run the VM in `vm.evalStmt`,
otherwise it's not used in vmgen. Now it acts the same as `proc
gen(PCtx, PNode)`, used by `discard` statements, which just calls
`freeTemp` on the dest if it was set rather than erroring.

Async SSL socket SIGSEGV's sometimes when calling socket.close() while
send/recv. The issue was found here
https://github.com/nitely/nim-hyperx/pull/59.
Possibly related: #24024
This can occur when closing the socket while sending or receiving,
because `socket.sslHandle` is freed. The sigsegv can also occur on calls
that require `socket.bioIn` or `socket.bioOut` because those use
`socket.sslHandle` internally. This PR checks sslHandle is set before
doing any operation that requires it.
