`testament --ic` on `tests/destructor` went from 10 failures to 3; the three
left are all `--newruntime`, whose owned-ref RTTI destructor is still missing
(the object type's `=destroy` never reaches the `cg` that emits the type info).
* **global destructors are never run.** `graph.globalDestructors` is filled
while a module's top level goes through `injectDestructorCalls`, and
whole-program cgen empties the list into the main module's init proc — which
IS the program body, so the calls land at exit. Under `nim ic` every module's
`cg` is a separate process and main's only ever saw its own entries: a
module-level `var` with a `=destroy` in an imported module was simply never
destroyed. Each module now wraps its own list in a nullary exported proc and
announces the name in its `.c.nif` meta head (`CnifVersion` 4 -> 5); main's
`cg` reads the heads it already reads for init/datInit and calls them in
reverse dependency order. New test `tests/ic/tglobal_dtors.nim` pins the
order against the oracle.
* **`spawn` died with "system module needs: nimArgsPassingDone".** A module
loaded from a NIF is named by its mangled suffix, so `loadCompilerProc`'s
`module.name.s == "threadpool"` could never match. The backend loads the whole
program before codegen, so consult every loaded module's index instead; misses
are final and remembered (`getCompilerProc` doubles as a presence probe).
* **`new(x, finalizer)` died with "environment misses: x".** `semmagic`'s
finalizer-to-destructor wrapper copies the original's AST but only rewrites
the parameter, leaving `ast[namePos]` naming the ORIGINAL proc. ast2nif
re-derives a routine's serialized AST from `ast[namePos].sym.ast`, so the
wrapper serialized the original's body — whose parameter belongs to the
original — and lambda lifting saw it as a captured variable of another proc.
The copy now names itself, the invariant every other routine AST keeps.
* **a top-level `let (a, b) = f()` copied instead of moved.** A module's own
symbol is the owner of every top-level symbol and is written as a real `(sd)`,
so the loader minted a SECOND `skModule` PSym for it — and `sym.owner == owner`
is an identity test in `aliasanalysis.isAnalysableFieldAccess`, which made
every module-level location un-analysable. Hard error for a type with a
disabled `=copy`. Bind the NIF name to the one registered module symbol.
Backend only: doing it under `nim m` costs `times.toDateTimeByWeek` its
inferred `raises`.
* **a doubly linked list leaked its whole contents.** A field USE serializes as
a bare `SymUse` with nowhere to put symbol flags, so `trees.isCursor` said
"not a cursor" for every loaded field and `DoublyLinkedNode.prev` became a
COUNTED reference: every node held its predecessor alive and no refcount ever
hit zero. `{.cursor.}` now rides in the NIF name marker (`` `fc `` next to
`` `f ``), which def and use derive from the same `PSym`.
* **`--expandArc` came out shuffled.** `moduleSymbolStubs` iterated a `Table`,
i.e. hash order, so the `lower` stage transformed a module's routines in an
arbitrary order — not even stable between two compilers. Order by index
offset, which is source order.
Also: `testament`'s `generatedFile` did not include the matrix entry in the
nimcache key its caller uses, so every `ccodeCheck` test with a `matrix:`
reported `reCodeNotFound`.
`koch bootic` still reaches its fixed point; `tests/ic` and the classic
`tests/destructor` are unaffected.
