Emre Şafak 9c1e3bf8fb Improve error message for keywords as parameters (#25052)
A function with an illegal parameter name like
```nim
proc myproc(type: int) =
  echo type
```
would uninformatively fail like so:
```nim
tkeywordparam.nim(1, 13) Error: expected closing ')'
```

This commit makes it return the following error:
```nim
tkeywordparam.nim(1, 13) Error: 'type' is a keyword and cannot be used as a parameter name
```

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.
