{.push hint[Name]: off.} does not work

[retsyo]

What happened?

I am talking about examples from https://github.com/khchen/winim/tree/master/examples/clr

when I compile winim-master\examples\clr\simple_gui.nim with nim 1.7.1, the message says

C:\Users\USER\.nimble\pkgs\winim-3.9.0\winim\clr.nim(737, 7) Hint: 'RuntimeHelp' should be: 'runtimeHelp' [Name]

however
there is {.push hint[Name]: off.} in C:\Users\USER.nimble\pkgs\winim-3.9.0\winim\clr.nim as you can read on line https://github.com/khchen/winim/blob/master/winim/clr.nim#L18

btw, when I compile winim-master\examples\clr\simple_gui.nim, there is more Hint: xxx [Name] in simple_gui.nim:

C:\tmp\winim-master\examples\clr\simple_gui.nim(43, 5) Hint: 'Size' should be: 'size' [Name]
C:\tmp\winim-master\examples\clr\simple_gui.nim(44, 5) Hint: 'Point' should be: 'point' [Name]

Now I know I can add {.push hint[Name]: off.} at the very begining of simple_gui.nim to eliminate these hints, but it is an annoying solution.

So there are 2 extra questions:

1. Why doe this kind of hints come to birth? I did not met it if I use nim 1.6.6. Why new nim need it?

2. What is the nice way to avoid this kind of naughty Hints information?
   No, I think it is a very bad way to use variant name according to the hint's lower/upper case. I mean it is good to say

var Size = drawing.GetType("System.Drawing.Size")

but the hint suggests to use

var size = drawing.GetType("System.Drawing.Size") 

thank you in advance

To get rid of the hint globally you can use --hint[Name]:off in the command line, or --hint:"[Name]:off" in a nimscript configuration file (not sure if these are documented, they are files with the same name as the module name except .nims instead of .nim)

The Name hint seems to be part of --stylecheck, which you can turn off with --stylecheck:off. For FFI-type libraries like winim, it is probably a good idea to use --stylecheck:off/{.push styleChecks: off.}.

You only need the push version if you only want it for specific parts of code. You can also just do {.styleChecks: off.} where you don't need to use {.pop.}.

Well --styleCheck:off does not erase Hint, however --hint[Name]:off erase annoying Hint
