* move `Future[T]` into its own module along with some basic accessors
* mark all fields internal, exposing only read-only versions under the
old names
* introduce `init`/`completed`/etc as a way of creating a future (vs
newFuture)
* introduce `LocationKind` for `SrcLoc` access
* don't expose `FutureList` unless future tracking is enabled
* introduce `chronosStrictFutureAccess` which controls a number of
additional `Defect` being raised when accessing Future fields in the
wrong state - this will become true in a future version
In this version, `Future[T]` backwards compatibility code remains in
`asyncfutures2` meaning that if only `chronos/futures` is imported, only
"new" API is available.
This branch is a refinement / less invasive / minimal version of
https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos/pull/373.
* Initial commit.
* Some Linux fixes.
* Address review comments on Windows.
* Fix issues on Linux.
* Fix 1.2 issue and Windows warnings.
* Fix posix compilation issues.
This PR moves all compile-time configuration to a single module,
simplifying documentation and access to these features.
Upcomfing features may be enabled either individually, or through a new
`chronosPreviewV4` catch-all designed to allow code to be prepared for
increased strictness in future chronos releases.
`-d:chronosDebug` may be used to enable the existing debugging helpers
together.
