Sorry for bringing confusion and for being so unclear with describing the issue.
To understand what I mean let's stick to " **nodecl** " pragma. (we don't need
to discuss "backticks" or "emit array" because they are serving a different
purpose.)
Manual says, "It tells Nim that it should not generate a declaration". but in
fact _it does_ , at least while used inside local scope (in a proc, for
example).
this works correctly:
{.emit:"int i; i = 14;"}
var i {.nodecl importc}: cint
echo i
Run
put code inside a proc and **nodecl** has no effect:
proc getint() =
{.emit:"int i; i = 14;"}
var i {.nodecl importc}: cint
echo i
getint()
Run
So, in my opinion the Manual has to be updated like this:
1. **nodecl** pragma shoud be used only alongside with **importc/importcpp**
pragma (to make sure name mangling is correct)
2. **nodecl** pragma works _only_ in global scope.
This can shine light on how things actually work. am I right?
