* handle explicit generic routine instantiations in sigmatch (#24010)metagn2024-09-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #16376 The way the compiler handled generic proc instantiations in calls (like `foo[int](...)`) up to this point was to instantiate `foo[int]`, create a symbol for the instantiated proc (or a symchoice for multiple procs excluding ones with mismatching generic param counts), then perform overload resolution on this symbol/symchoice. The exception to this was when the called symbol was already a symchoice node, in which case it wasn't instantiated and overloading was called directly ([these lines](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/b7b1313d21deb687adab2b4a162e716ba561a26b/compiler/semexprs.nim#L3366-L3371)). This has several problems: * Templates and macros can't create instantiated symbols, so they couldn't participate in overloaded explicit generic instantiations, causing the issue #16376. * Every single proc that can be instantiated with the given generic params is fully instantiated including the body. #9997 is about this but isn't fixed here since the instantiation isn't in a call. The way overload resolution handles explicit instantiations by itself is also buggy: * It doesn't check constraints. * It allows only partially providing the generic parameters, which makes sense for implicit generics, but can cause ambiguity in overloading. Here is how this PR deals with these problems: * Overload resolution now always handles explicit generic instantiations in calls, in `initCandidate`, as long as the symbol resolves to a routine symbol. * Overload resolution now checks the generic params for constraints and correct parameter count (ignoring implicit params). If these don't match, the entire overload is considered as not matching and not instantiated. * Special error messages are added for mismatching/missing/extra generic params. This is almost all of the diff in `semcall`. * Procs with matching generic parameters now instantiate only the type of the signature in overload resolution, not the proc itself, which also works for templates and macros. Unfortunately we can't entirely remove instantiations because overload resolution can't handle some cases with uninstantiated types even though it's resolved in the binding (see the last 2 blocks in `texplicitgenerics`). There are also some instantiation issues with default params that #24005 didn't fix but I didn't want this to become the 3rd huge generics PR in a row so I didn't dive too deep into trying to fix them. There is still a minor instantiation fix in `semtypinst` though for subscripts in calls. Additional changes: * Overloading of `[]` wasn't documented properly, it somewhat is now because we need to mention the limitation that it can't be done for generic procs/types. * Tests can now enable the new type mismatch errors with just `-d:testsConciseTypeMismatch` in the command. Package PRs: - using fork for now: [combparser](https://github.com/PMunch/combparser/pull/7) (partial generic instantiation) - merged: [cligen](https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/pull/233) (partial generic instantiation but non-overloaded + template) - merged: [neo](https://github.com/andreaferretti/neo/pull/56) (trying to instantiate template with no generic param)
* opensym for templates + move behavior of opensymchoice to itself (#24007)metagn2024-08-281-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #15314, fixes #24002 The OpenSym behavior first added to generics in #23091 now also applies to templates, since templates can also capture symbols that are meant to be replaced by local symbols if the context imports symbols with the same name, as in the issue #24002. The experimental switch `templateOpenSym` is added to enable this behavior for templates only, and the experimental switch `openSym` is added to enable it for both templates and generics, and the documentation now mainly mentions this switch. Additionally the logic for `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes that were previously wrapped in `nkOpenSym` now apply to all `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes, and so these nodes aren't wrapped in `nkOpenSym` anymore. This means `nkOpenSym` can only have children of kind `nkSym` again, so it is more in line with the structure of symchoice nodes. As for why they aren't merged with `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes yet, we need some way to signal that the node shouldn't become ambiguous if other options exist at instantiation time, we already captured a symbol at the beginning and another symbol can only replace it if it's closer in scope and unambiguous.
* remove fauxMatch for tyFromExpr, remove tyProxy and tyUnknown aliases (#24018)metagn2024-08-281-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | updated version of #22193 After #22029 and the followups #23983 and #24005 which fixed issues with it, `tyFromExpr` no longer match any proc params in generic type bodies but delay all non-matching calls until the type is instantiated. Previously the mechanism `fauxMatch` was used to pretend that any failing match against `tyFromExpr` actually matched, but prevented the instantiation of the type until later. Since this mechanism is not needed anymore for `tyFromExpr`, it is now only used for `tyError` to prevent cascading errors and changed to a bool field for simplicity. A change in `semtypes` was also needed to prevent calling `fitNode` on default param values resolving to type `tyFromExpr` in generic procs for params with non-generic types, as this would try to coerce the expression into a concrete type when it can't be instantiated yet. The aliases `tyProxy` and `tyUnknown` for `tyError` and `tyFromExpr` are also removed for uniformity.
* sem all call nodes in generic type bodies + many required fixes (#23983)metagn2024-08-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #23406, closes #23854, closes #23855 (test code of both compiles but separate issue exists), refs #23432, follows #23411 In generic bodies, previously all regular `nkCall` nodes like `foo(a, b)` were directly treated as generic statements and delayed immediately, but other call kinds like `a.foo(b)`, `foo a, b` etc underwent typechecking before making sure they have to be delayed, as implemented in #22029. Since the behavior for `nkCall` was slightly buggy (as in #23406), the behavior for all call kinds is now to call `semTypeExpr`. However the vast majority of calls in generic bodies out there are `nkCall`, and while there isn't a difference in the expected behavior, this exposes many issues with the implementation started in #22029 given how much more code uses it now. The portion of these issues that CI has caught are fixed in this PR but it's possible there are more. 1. Deref expressions, dot expressions and calls to dot expressions now handle and propagate `tyFromExpr`. This is most of the changes in `semexprs`. 2. For deref expressions to work in `typeof`, a new type flag `tfNonConstExpr` is added for `tyFromExpr` that calls `semExprWithType` with `efInTypeof` on the expression instead of `semConstExpr`. This type flag is set for every `tyFromExpr` type of a node that `prepareNode` encounters, so that the node itself isn't evaluated at compile time when just trying to get the type of the node. 3. Unresolved `static` types matching `static` parameters is now treated the same as unresolved generic types matching `typedesc` parameters in generic type bodies, it causes a failed match which delays the call instantiation. 4. `typedesc` parameters now reject all types containing unresolved generic types like `seq[T]`, not just generic param types by themselves. (using `containsGenericType`) 5. `semgnrc` now doesn't leave generic param symbols it encounters in generic type contexts as just identifiers, and instead turns them into symbol nodes. Normally in generic procs, this isn't a problem since the generic param symbols will be provided again at instantiation time (and in fact creating symbol nodes causes issues since `seminst` doesn't actually instantiate proc body node types). But generic types can try to be instantiated early in `sigmatch` which will give an undeclared identifier error when the param is not provided. Nodes in generic types (specifically in `tyFromExpr` which should be the only use for `semGenericStmt`) undergo full generic type instantiation with `prepareNode`, so there is no issue of these symbols remaining as uninstantiated generic types. 6. `prepareNode` now has more logic for which nodes to avoid instantiating. Subscripts and subscripts turned into calls to `[]` by `semgnrc` need to avoid instantiating the first operand, since it may be a generic body type like `Generic` in an expression like `Generic[int]`. Dot expressions cannot instantiate their RHS as it may be a generic proc symbol or even an undeclared identifier for generic param fields, but have to instantiate their LHS, so calls and subscripts need to still instantiate their first node if it's a dot expression. This logic still isn't perfect and needs the same level of detail as in `semexprs` for which nodes can be left as "untyped" for overloading/dot exprs/subscripts to handle, but should handle the majority of cases. Also the `efDetermineType` requirement for which calls become `tyFromExpr` is removed and as a result `efDetermineType` is entirely unused again.
* opensym as node kind + fixed experimental switch (#23892)metagn2024-08-121-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | refs https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/23873#discussion_r1687995060, fixes #23386, fixes #23385, supersedes #23572 Turns the `nfOpenSym` node flag implemented in #23091 and extended in #23102 and #23873, into a node kind `nkOpenSym` that forms a unary node containing either `nkSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice`. Since this affects macros working on generic proc AST, the node kind is now only generated when the experimental switch `genericsOpenSym` is enabled, and a new node flag `nfDisabledOpenSym` is set to the `nkSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice` when the switch is not enabled so that we can give a warning. Now that the experimental switch has more reasonable semantics, we define `nimHasGenericsOpenSym2`.
* implement genericsOpenSym for symchoices (#23873)metagn2024-07-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | fixes #23865 The node flag `nfOpenSym` implemented in #23091 for sym nodes is now also implemented for open symchoices. This means the intended behavior is still achieved when multiple overloads are in scope to be captured, so the issue is fixed. The code for the flag is documented and moved into a helper proc and the experimental switch is now enabled for the compiler test suite.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This pr redefines the relation between lambda lifting and closureiter transformation. Key takeaways: - Lambdalifting now has less distinction between closureiters and regular closures. Namely instead of lifting _all_ closureiter variables, it lifts only those variables it would also lift for simple closure, i.e. those not owned by the closure. - It is now closureiter transformation's responsibility to lift all the locals that need lifting and are not lifted by lambdalifting. So now we lift only those locals that appear in more than one state. The rest remains on stack, yay! - Closureiter transformation always relies on the closure env param created by lambdalifting. Special care taken to make lambdalifting create it even in cases when it's "too early" to lift. - Environments created by lambdalifting will contain `:state` only for closureiters, whereas previously any closure env contained it. IMO this is a more reasonable approach as it simplifies not only lambdalifting, but transf too (e.g. freshVarsForClosureIters is now gone for good). I tried to organize the changes logically by commits, so it might be easier to review this on per commit basis. Some ugliness: - Adding lifting to closureiters transformation I had to repeat this matching of `return result = value` node. I tried to understand why it is needed, but that was just another rabbit hole, so I left it for another time. @Araq your input is welcome. - In the last commit I've reused currently undocumented `liftLocals` pragma for symbols so that closureiter transformation will forcefully lift those even if they don't require lifting otherwise. This is needed for [yasync](https://github.com/yglukhov/yasync) or else it will be very sad. Overall I'm quite happy with the results, I'm seeing some noticeable code size reductions in my projects. Heavy closureiter/async users, please give it a go.

* allow replacing captured syms in macro calls in generics (#23091)metagn2023-12-181-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #22605, separated from #22744 This marks symbol captures in macro calls in generic contexts as `nfOpenSym`, which means if there is a new symbol in the local instantiatied body during instantiation time, this symbol replaces the captured symbol. We have to be careful not to consider symbols outside of the instantiation body during instantiation, because this will leak symbols from the instantiation context scope rather than the original declaration scope. This is done by checking if the local context owner (maybe should be the symbol of the proc currently getting instantiated instead? not sure how to get this) is the same as or a parent owner of the owner of the replacement candidate symbol. This solution is distinct from the symchoice mechanisms which we originally assumed had to be related, if this assumption was wrong it would explain why this solution took so long to arrive at.

* Inlay hints support (#22896)Nikolay Nikolov2023-11-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds inlay hints support to nimsuggest. It adds a new command to nimsuggest, called 'inlayHints'. Currently, it provides type information to 'var' and 'let' variables. In the future, inlay hints can also be added for 'const' and for function parameters. The protocol also reserves space for a tooltip field, which is not used, yet, but support for it can be added in the future, without further changing the protocol. The change includes refactoring to allow the 'inlayHints' command to return a completely different structure, compared to the other nimsuggest commands. This will allow other future commands to have custom return types as well. All the previous commands return the same structure as before, so perfect backwards compatibility is maintained. To use this feature, an update to the nim language server, as well as the VS code extension is needed.
