fixes #25784 This pull request addresses the handling of forward object types during type determination in the Nim compiler and adds new test cases to ensure correct default value initialization for objects with forward references. The main focus is to allow forward object types to remain unresolved during the initial type analysis, deferring their resolution to a later compilation phase. This helps support object constructors with default values involving forward types. **Compiler improvements:** * Updated `semObjConstr` in `compiler/semobjconstr.nim` to allow forward object types (`tyForward`) to remain unresolved during determine-type analysis. This avoids premature errors and ensures that such types are resolved later, supporting delayed field-default resolution. **Testing enhancements:** * Added new test cases in `tests/objects/mobject_default_value.nim` to verify that objects with default fields referencing forward types are correctly initialized, and that their default values are properly set. --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>
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.
