## `outParamsAt` macro for easy writing code that works with both 2.0 and 1.x.
import macros

## Use this macro to annotate `out` parameters in a portable way.
runnableExamples:
proc p(x: var int) {.outParamsAt: [1].} =
discard "x is really an 'out int' if the Nim compiler supports 'out' parameters"
result = n
when defined(nimHasOutParams):
var p = n.params
for po in positions:
p[po][^2].expectKind nnkVarTy
p[po][^2] = newTree(nnkOutTy, p[po][^2][0])
when isMainModule:
{.experimental: "strictDefs".}
proc main(x: var int) {.outParamsAt: [1].} =
x = 3
proc us =
var x: int
main x
echo x
us()
