Imported static[T] proc breaks nimscript #13960

Open GULPF opened 4 years ago

GULPF commented 4 years ago

A proc with static[T] can break a nimscript when imported.

Example

File module.nim

proc f1*(f: string) =
  discard

proc f1*(f: static[string]) =
  discard

proc f2*() =
  let x = "abc"
  f1(x)

File script.nims

import module

var foo: bool

Current Output

$ nim e script.nims
Error: cannot evaluate at compile time: foo

Additional Information

Tested with latest devel.
