Compilation error with ref type

[Tormund]

import json_serialization

type
    DummyRef* = ref object of RootObj
        a: float
var dr = new(DummyRef)
dr.a = 100225.00
echo "resref:\n\t", dr.toJson

I've tried to investigate this and so far I'm hitting into insurmountable Nim issues in the behaviour of functions such as getType and getImpl. The issues seems to be affecting only types using the ref object short-cut. Everything is fine if you use the following approach instead:

import
  ../json_serialization

type
  DummyObj* = object of RootObj
    a: float

  DummyRef = ref DummyObj

var dr = new(DummyRef)
dr.a = 100225.00
echo "resref:\n\t", dr.toJson

nice, it works. I agree this is Nim compiler internal inconsistency.

This should now work fine in Nim >= 1.2
