Setting up a Nim foundation

Thank you for starting this discussion. A Nim foundation has been a long time coming and I hope we can get one established. What I'm curious about is what advantages does an _association_ enable? I assume at the very least such organisations are exempt from taxation? Do they also benefit from

Strange compilation error with Nim 1.4.6 on Mac

Yes, I guess I have translated that wrong. But none the less I think a Nim association would qualify for being charitable. According to § 52 AO ([DE](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/ao_1977/__52.html)/[EN](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_ao/englisch_ao.html#p0441)), there a multip

Setting up a Nim foundation

Note that _Gemeinnützigkeit_ is not the same as non-profit. A Verein has to be non-profit to be registered but for being _gemeinnützig_ it has to have some charitable purpose. I doubt that supporting the development of a programming language is a charitable purpose under German tax law.

Setting up a Nim foundation

A Stiftung (foundation) is basically some amount of money dedicated to some purpose whereas a Verein (association) is a group of people pursuing some purpose. A Verein is usually democratic but it doesn't have to - the by-laws can restrict the participation of members to a great extent but not

Nim 1.6.0 GTK cast cstring ?

I recently had this warning in code that looked something like this: proc foo(bar: cstring) {.importc, header: "foo.h".} proc fooWrapper(baz: string) = foo("~~$1~~" % baz) Run I changed it to this to get rid of the warning: proc foo(bar: cstring)

To put into context, the [motivating example](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/18550#issue-949466247) for the warning is that the memory a cstring points to may become invalid. the link shows it pretty clearly for the standard gc, here's a simple/contrived example that 'works' with --gc:a

Sorry for my English , I was looking for the most rational and correct solution I didn't think I closed. It does not matter I have the answer.

While Nim has no support for const pointers directly, you could easily create a wrapper type that enforces no mutation to happen. But it's not required here and something like type Thingy = object x*: int OwnsThingy = object t: ptr Th

Nim 1.6.0 GTK cast cstring ?

The implicit string->cstring conversions are against Nim's safety rules and they are a legacy. The workaround is to write `cstring(x)` and that will continue to work. If they occur too often so that they become annoying, this part of your wrapper seems rather poorly designed, sorry. But if you

I actually installed the latest stable version (1.6.0) via choosenim. The issue is in config.nims, when I use --hint[Conf]:off I get the message config.nims(1, 2) Error: invalid command line option: '\--hint[Conf]' F.E. constructs like --verbosity:3 or --genScript:on are working ...

Nim 1.6.0 GTK cast cstring ?

No, there is an implicit conversion when passing a `string` to a `cstring`. But it seems that nim 1.6.0 has introduced a check to make sure that the argument cannot be modified. This triggers the warning: proc p(s: cstring) = discard var s = "abc" p(s)

The `--hint:Conf:off` syntax is rather new and requires Nim 1.6, iirc. Seems like your Nim is outdated. However, the `--hint[Conf]:off` syntax keeps working so you might as well just use that instead.
