ringabout 7a82c5920c fixes #25677; fixes #25678; typeAllowedAux to improve flag handling (#25684)
fixes #25677;
fixes #25678

This pull request introduces both a bug fix to the type checking logic
in the compiler and new test cases for lent types involving procedures
and tables. The most significant change is a refinement in how type
flags are handled for procedure and function types in the compiler,
which improves correctness in type allowance checks. Additionally, the
test suite is expanded to cover more complex scenarios with lent types
and table lookups.

**Compiler improvements:**

* Refined the handling of type flags in `typeAllowedAux` for procedure
and function types by introducing `innerFlags`, which removes certain
flags (`taObjField`, `taTupField`, `taIsOpenArray`) before recursing
into parameter and return types. This ensures more accurate type
checking and prevents inappropriate flag propagation.

**Testing enhancements:**

* Added new test blocks in `tests/lent/tlents.nim` to cover lent
procedure types stored in objects and used as table values, including a
function that retrieves such procedures from a table by key.
* Introduced a test case for an object containing a lent procedure
field, ensuring correct behavior when accessing and using these fields.

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.
