ringabout 85ce118386 fixes #26123; Update PathKinds1 to include nkCast (#26126)
fixes #26123

`cast[T](x)` is a transparent path expression for compiler analysis.
Previously, move/alias analysis could fail to see a later use through a
cast and incorrectly mark the source as moved, causing the issue’s
segmentation fault.

for views,
https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual_experimental.html#view-types-path-expressions:
A cast expression cast[T](e) is a path expression.

It also affects skipConvDfa, isAnalysableFieldAccess, and aliases. And I
might narrow it down for the two cases above mentioned if it causes
problems

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.
