Rybnikov Alex 393d27b57d fix(stdlib): use first-element flag in $ for collections (#18583) (#25832)
Fixes #18583.

## Problem

Several stdlib collection types compute the separator for `$` using
`result.len > 1`, where `result` starts as the opening bracket (`"["` or
`"{"`). This breaks when a collection element type has a `$` that
returns an empty string: `result.len` stays at 1 after the first item
contributes nothing, so the separator is never inserted for subsequent
items.

```nim
import std/deques

type Test = object
proc `$`(x: Test): string = ""

echo [Test(), Test()].toDeque  # prints [] — expected [, ]
```

## Fix

Replace the length check with an explicit `first` flag in all affected
modules: `deques`, `heapqueue`, `lists`, `critbits`, and `strtabs`.

## Tests

Regression tests added to `tdeques`, `theapqueue`, and `tlists` using a
local type whose `$` returns `""`. All three test files pass with `nim c
-r`.

## Notes

I work with Claude as a co-processor. I'm 56, came to programming late,
and this is genuinely how I learn and contribute. I understand what I'm
submitting, but I didn't write it alone. If your project prefers
human-only contributions, just say so and I'll close without friction.

This directory contains the test cases.

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.
