Recent Nim makes Weave crash about weave

[HJarausch]

It seems the other way round. Weave uncovers a bug in the recent Nim compiler.
I've tried a bit to isolate the problem.
I've found that state_machine/decline_thief.nim
triggers the error and only in the very last to lines

synthesize(declineReqFSA):
  proc decline*(req: sink StealRequest) {.gcsafe, raises: [].}

I hope this helps a bit. Unfortunately, I haven't understood synthesis yet, so it's hard for me to
isolate the code which provokes the compiler error further.

I can reproduce this error iff I try to compile weave/parallel_for.nim itself.
But, when I compile a nim source file which uses parallelFor there are no problems at all ( checked with several source files)
Unfortunately, I don't understand the logic of Weave but I think it must compile weave/parallel_for.nim on the fly when
I use import weave which in turn imports

  weave/[
    parallel_tasks, parallel_for, parallel_for_staged,
    runtime],
  weave/state_machines/[sync_root, sync, sync_scope],
  weave/datatypes/flowvars,
  weave/cross_thread_com/flow_events,
  weave/contexts,
  weave/[executor, parallel_jobs]

The bug has been fixed in the current developing version of Nim.

I think this issue should be fixed by nim-lang/Nim#17657

It would be great if someone can think of a reproducible issue without weave. Anyway weave should be added to important packages.
nim-lang/Nim#17665

Thanks!

This bug is a bit of a shame since I just built a general high level interface for embarassingly parallel problems based on Weave and it effectively kept all of my components that will make use of it on nim <= 1.4.4.

As a side note, on 1.4.4 the interface (and therefore Weave) works like a charm and the performance beats the pants off things like Numba. Color me impressed! :)
