* Make `{.requiresInit.}` to work for distinct types (#15869)Ivan Bobev2020-11-061-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make `requiresInit` pragma to work for distinct types in addition to objects. Tagging of distinct types with `requiresInit` pragma was already supported, but its impact wasn't applied. Now its behavior when applied on distinct types is as follows. Given the following distinct type definitions: ```nim type DistinctObject {.requiresInit, borrow: `.`.} = distinct MyObject DistinctString {.requiresInit.} = distinct string ``` The following code blocks will fail to compile: ```nim var foo: DistinctFoo foo.x = "test" doAssert foo.x == "test" ``` ```nim var s: DistinctString s = "test" doAssert s == "test" ``` But these ones will compile successfully: ```nim let foo = DistinctFoo(Foo(x: "test")) doAssert foo.x == "test" ``` ```nim let s = "test" doAssert s == "test" ```

* Allow let to not have value when using importc (#14258)PMunch2020-05-121-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Allow let to not have value when using importc This allows a let statement with the `{.importc.}` pragma to not be initialised with a value. This allows us to declare C constants as Nim lets without putting the value in the Nim code (which can lead to errors, and requires us to go looking for the value). Fixes #14253 * Proper fix and documentation + changelog entry * Improve testcase with one from timotheecour * Add test to verify it working with macros
