The following code is compiling without error on Linux 64 bits but generates an unknown symbol 'initE' on Linux 32 bits.
module a.nim
proc algo*[T] =
proc a: T =
result = initE[T]()
result += 3
echo "algo", a()
module b.nim
import a
proc initE[T: int](): T =
result = 3
algo[int]()
So it seems that 64 bits Nim compiler implicitely declares initE as mixin, while the 32 bit compiler does not. Does it mean that mixin declaration will be optional in the future?
According to the documentation, the correct way of writing a.nim is:
proc algo*[T] =
proc a: T =
mixin initE
result = initE[T]()
result += 3
echo "algo", a()
