This definition is more robust. The previously existing version was
producing compilation errors in certain generic contexts. static
"regular" params are recommended in general as they are more flexible
than the explicit generic parameters.
* Optimized and exception-less encoding/decoding procedures for decimal integers.
* Add tests.
* Fix import path.
* Fix review comments.
* Code simplification.
* Make toBytes() allocation free.
* Do not perform conversion to signed type to avoid compiler's overflow checks.
Leb128 is a variable-length encoding for unsigned integers that is used
in a number of contexts - in particular, wasm, dwarf and protobuf.
This is an optimized low-level implementation that unrolls the loop
reading/writing the buffer - it is suitable to use as base for a more
specific API - no memory allocations, no exceptions.
This PR also fixes bitops2 to not raise on certaing uint->int
conversions, adapting bitops to nim 1.0 conversion rules by using a cast
instead of raising on uint->int conversion
* random helpers
* arrayops as a home for small array/openArray utilities
* assign2 - a replacement for genericAssign and assignment operators in
general which in nim are very slow
* use assign2 in a few places to speed things up
* fixes
* fixes

* Move ACL procedures to windows/acl.
Move ACL tests to test_winacl.nim.
* Add test_winacl.nim
* Fix *nix compilation problem.
* More proper fix for *nix targets.
* Initial commit of io2 module
* Rename to io2.
Add createPath with permissions.

More tests.
* Fix x86 compilation problems.
* Rename toSet -> toPermissions.
* Avoid race condition on writeFile permissions.
This code is extracted from the error-handling proposal where it's
used to implement `Try` blocks (Faux closures are created there in
order to assign raises lists to them). The desktop team faced a
similar problem where the `spawn` API doesn't support closures,
but the restriction can be easily worked-around with faux closures.
Without lifetime tracking, ranges pose a number of issues with regards
to memory safety - use openArray instead which is limited but safe.
In its present form, ranges take a copy of whatever is passed to them
which obscures the copies that they take, leading to misleading and slow
code.
If openArray is not applicable, simply do a seq copy - it's fine and
really doesn't matter in 95% of all cases, then profile and use other
techniques where needed.
It turned out that Nim's Option type is broken for `not nil` and
`requiresInit` types. It will report an udesired warning due to
the way `none` is defined. The `Result` type doesn't suffer from
this problem, so I've transitioned some APIs in NBC to use the
new `results.Opt[T]` type (alias of `Result[T, void]`).
Perhaps we should renamed `Result` to `Res` to make the naming
more consistent and to allow the code to more easily fit in the
80 character per-line budget.
* fix ResultError type
* add/fix documentation
* clean up raises (in preparation for better Defect handling)
* fix toException mixin
* work around compiler bug with more explicit types
* fix capture exception type
* fix result type on `?`
