fixes#18396, fixes#20142
Set types with base types matching less than a generic match (so
subrange matches, conversion matches, int conversion matches) are now
considered mismatching, as their representation is different on the
backends (except VM and JS), causing codegen issues. An exception is
granted for set literal types, which now implicitly convert each element
to the matched base type, so things like `s == {'a', 'b'}` are still
possible where `s` is `set[range['a'..'z']]`. Also every conversion
match in this case is unified under the normal "conversion" match, so a
literal doesn't match one set type better than the other, unless it's
equal.
However `{'a', 'b'} == s` or `{'a', 'b'} - s` etc is now not possible.
when it used to work in the VM. So this is somewhat breaking, and needs
a changelog entry.
(cherry picked from commit 7dfadb8b4e)
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.
