* ambiguous identifier resolution (#23123)metagn2024-01-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #23002, fixes #22841, refs comments in #23097 When an identifier is ambiguous in scope (i.e. multiple imports contain symbols with the same name), attempt resolving it through type inference (by creating a symchoice). To do this efficiently, `qualifiedLookUp` had to be broken up so that `semExpr` can access the ambiguous candidates directly (now obtained directly via `lookUpCandidates`). This fixes the linked issues, but an example like: ```nim let on = 123 {.warning[ProveInit]: on.} ``` will still fail, since `on` is unambiguously the local `let` symbol here (this is also true for `proc on` but `proc` symbols generate symchoices anyway). Type symbols are not considered to not confuse the type inference. This includes the change in sigmatch, up to this point symchoices with nonoverloadable symbols could be created, they just wouldn't be considered during disambiguation. Now every proper symbol except types are considered in disambiguation, so the correct symbols must be picked during the creation of the symchoice node. I remember there being a violating case of this in the compiler, but this was very likely fixed by excluding type symbols as CI seems to have found no issues. The pure enum ambiguity test was disabled because ambiguous pure enums now behave like overloadable enums with this behavior, so we get a longer error message for `echo amb` like `type mismatch: got <MyEnum | OtherEnum> but expected T`
* make expressions opt in to symchoices (#22716)metagn2023-09-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | refs #22605 Sym choice nodes are now only allowed to pass through semchecking if contexts ask for them to (with `efAllowSymChoice`). Otherwise they are resolved or treated as ambiguous. The contexts that can receive symchoices in this PR are: * Call operands and addresses and emulations of such, which will subject them to overload resolution which will resolve them or fail. * Type conversion operands only for routine symchoices for type disambiguation syntax (like `(proc (x: int): int)(foo)`), which will resolve them or fail. * Proc parameter default values both at the declaration and during generic instantiation, which undergo type narrowing and so will resolve them or fail. This means unless these contexts mess up sym choice nodes should never leave the semchecking stage. This serves as a blueprint for future improvements to intermediate symbol resolution. Some tangential changes are also in this PR: 1. The `AmbiguousEnum` hint is removed, it was always disabled by default and since #22606 it only started getting emitted after the symchoice was soundly resolved. 2. Proc setter syntax (`a.b = c` becoming `` `b=`(a, c) ``) used to fully type check the RHS before passing the transformed call node to proc overloading. Now it just passes the original node directly so proc overloading can deal with its typechecking.
* resolve unambiguous enum symchoices from local scope, error on rest (#22606)metagn2023-09-031-0/+26
fixes #22598, properly fixes #21887 and fixes test case issue number When an enum field sym choice has to choose a type, check if its name is ambiguous in the local scope, then check if the first symbol found in the local scope is the first symbol in the sym choice. If so, choose that symbol. Otherwise, give an ambiguous identifier error. The dependence on the local scope implies this will always give ambiguity errors for unpicked enum symchoices from generics and templates and macros from other scopes. We can change `not isAmbiguous(...) and foundSym == first` to `not (isAmbiguous(...) and foundSym == first)` to make it so they never give ambiguity errors, and always pick the first symbol in the symchoice. I can do this if this is preferred, but no code from CI seems affected.
