fixes issue described in https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12579 In #24065 explicit generic parameter matching was made to fail matches on arguments with unresolved types in generic contexts (the sigmatch diff, following #24010), similar to what is done for regular calls since #22029. However unlike regular calls, a failed match in a generic context for a standalone explicit generic instantiation did not convert the expression into one with `tyFromExpr` type, which means it would error immediately given any unresolved parameter. This is now done to fix the issue. For explicit generic instantiations on single non-overloaded symbols, a successful match is still instantiated. For multiple overloads (i.e. symchoice), if any of the overloads fail the match, the entire expression is considered untyped and any instantiations are not used, so as to not void overloads that would match later. This means even symchoices without unresolved arguments aren't instantiated, which may be too restrictive, but it could also be too lenient and we might need to make symchoice instantiations always untyped. The behavior for symchoice is not sound anyway given it causes #9997 so this is something to consider for a redesign. Diff follows #24276.
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.
