metagn 76c5f16ac5 stricter skip for conversions in array indices in transf (#24424)
fixes #17958

In `transf`, conversions in subscript expressions are skipped (with
`skipConv`'s rules). This is because array indexing can produce
conversions to the range type that is the array's index type, which
causes a `RangeDefect` rather than an `IndexDefect` (and also
`--rangeChecks` and `--indexChecks` are both considered). However this
causes problems when explicit conversions are used, between types of
different bitsizes, because those also get skipped.

To fix this, we only skip the conversion if:

* it's a hidden (implicit) conversion
* it's a range check conversion (produces `nkChckRange`)
* the subscript is on an array type and the result type of the
conversion has the same bounds as the array index type

And `skipConv` rules also still apply (int/float classification).

Another idea would be to prevent the implicit conversion to the array
index type from being generated. But there is no good way to do this:
matching to the base type instead prevents types like `uint32` from
implicitly converting (i.e. it can convert to `range[0..3]` but not
`int`), and analyzing whether this is an array bound check is easier in
`transf`, since `sigmatch` just produces a type conversion.

The rules for skipping the conversion could also receive some other
tweaks: We could add a rule that changing bitsizes also doesn't skip the
conversion, but this breaks the `uint32` case. We could simplify it to
only removing implicit skips to specifically fix #17958, but this is
wrong in general.

We could also add something like `nkChckIndex` that generates index
errors instead but this is weird when it doesn't have access to the
collection type and it might be overkill.

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.
