fixes#23853
Since #22610 generics turns the `Name` in the `GT.Name` expression in
the test code into a sym choice. The problem is when the compiler tries
to instantiate `GT.Name` it also instantiates the sym choice symbols.
`Name` has type `template (E: type ExtensionField)` which contains the
unresolved generic type `ExtensionField`, which the compiler mistakes as
an uninstantiated node, when it's just part of the type of the template.
The compilation of the node itself and hence overloading will handle the
instantiation of the proc, so we avoid instantiating it in `semtypinst`,
similar to how the first nodes of call nodes aren't instantiated.
Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note:Testament is only aware of tests under a directory (eg tests/foo/) and will ignore
top-level tests like tests/tbar.nim.
Specs
Each test can contain a spec in a discard """ ... """ block.
Check out the parseSpec procedure in the specs module for a full and reliable reference
action
Specifies what action this test should take.
Default: run
Options:
compile - compiles the module and fails the test if compilations fails.
run - compiles and runs the module, fails the test if compilation or
execution of test code fails.
reject - compiles the module and fails the test if compilation succeeds.
There are certain spec keys that imply run, including output and
outputsub.
Categories
Each folder under this directory represents a test category, which can be
tested by running koch tests pcat <category> (or cat to avoid parallel
testing, which is slower).
The folder dll contains simple DLL tests.
The folder realtimeGC contains a test for validating that the realtime GC
can run properly without linking against the nimrtl.dll/so.
