Crash when trying to use `type.name[0]`

[alehander92]

I tried to use [0] for a type name and it leads to crash

Example

import typetraits, strutils

type
  AbComponent* = object

template local*(expression: untyped): untyped {.dirty.} =
  # this fails
  # $(expression.type.name[0]) 
  expression.type.name[0 .. 0]
  

var self = AbComponent()
echo local(2)

Current Output

If you comment out, it crashes with

fatal.nim(39) sysFatal
Error: unhandled exception: index out of bounds, the container is empty [IndexError] 

Expected Output

Running correctly and returning the first char

Possible Solution

• Don't know yet

Additional Information

• It works if i use [0 .. 0] so this is a workaround

A bit more minimal example:

import typetraits
proc local(expression: int): char = expression.type.name[0]
echo local(1)
