Progress

Checks the potential errors with closure calls

fixes #19857; Exception raised in closure may be "skipped" in ORC.

Adds a prepass for codeReordering

To keep backwards compatibility. It adds a prepass for codeReordering. Before processing all the source code, it iterates all the nodes and looks for {.experimental: "codeReordering"}. If the flag is found, it will enter the processing in the codeReordering mode.

Forbids changing branch of an object variant in ORC

fix #18977; disallow change branch of an object variant in ORC.

type
  E = enum
    a, b, c, d
  X = object
    v: int
  O = object
    case kind: E
    of a:
      a: int
    of {b, c}:
      b: float
    else:
      d: X

proc `=destroy`(x: var X) =
  echo "x destroyed"

var o = O(kind: d, d: X(v: 12345))
doAssert o.d.v == 12345

doAssertRaises(FieldDefect):
  o.kind = a

You cannot change the branch of o anymore unless you assign to it the same kind or use {.cast(uncheckedAssign).} to permit the operation.

o.kind = d
{.cast(uncheckedAssign).}:
  o.kind = a
