ringabout cf5b89f573 fixes #25046; Infinite loop with anonymous iterator (#25221)
fixes #25046

```nim
proc makeiter(v: string): iterator(): string =
  return iterator(): string =
    yield v

# loops
for c in makeiter("test")():
  echo "loops ", c
```
becomes

```nim
var temp = makeiter("test")
for c in temp():
  echo "loops ", c
```
for closures that might have side effects

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.
