Hi,
I'm trying to create a minimal reproducible examples for an error that appears when I try to convert a medium (a few thousands line of code) to --gc:orc|arc but I can't seem to get a minimal reproducible example.
The error I get is :
/home/rcaillaud/.cache/nim/mainDapo_r/@mstorage@[email protected]: In function ‘tySequence__48JTohSgTy339bRxHzUD8KA newSeq_storageZstorageZacq_4782(NI)’:

This occurs with Nim v1.4.8 and Nim devel but only when I compile with -gc:arc (or orc) :

I can't manage to find a reproducible examples but it seems related to the usage of type Foo = ref object of Model (I use Norm) and seq[Foo];
So how do you proceed on codegen error when you can't find the exact pattern that causes the error ?
@ynfle I can't compile with C because I have C++ exclusive dependencies.
@Araq Ah I would have liked that very much but I have to get my COVID vaccine this Friday 5 pm :(.
