Andreas Rumpf e927887b7e fix SIGSEGV on refc: genGenericAsgn must deep-copy from static data (#26160)
Supersedes #26120 (https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/26120), which
fixed the reported case but left the `tfShallow` half of the same
condition open.

Since #25860 array literals are materialized into temporaries so that
`lent` results keep valid backing storage. In an async proc such a
temporary is lifted into the closure environment, and the environment is
filled with an `nkFastAsgn`, i.e. without `needToCopy`. `genGenericAsgn`
then emitted `genericShallowAssign` from the static const array, and for
the `string` elements that ends in `unsureAsgnRef` ->
`incRef(usrToCell(literal))` on memory that has no GC header:

  proc f() {.async.} =
    for ip in ["::1", "2001:db8::", "::"]:
      await sleepAsync(1)

`OnStatic` sources must therefore always take the `genericAssign` path.
Note that the guard has to dominate the `tfShallow` test as well, not
just the `needToCopy` one: a `{.shallow.}` destination assigned from a
`const` crashes in exactly the same way. This is the precedence
`genOptAsgnTuple` and `genOptAsgnObject` already use, so
`genGenericAsgn` now agrees with its two siblings instead of
contradicting them.

refc only; the other GCs do not reference count in `unsureAsgnRef`.

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.
