#However, code_compiler.nim, simple_gui.nim, usage_demo2.nim can't be compiled
for example, for winim/examples/clr/simple_gui.nim, I get

Should be fixed.

[retsyo]

not be fixed as expected

and "Remvoe annoying hints for symbol name in Nim Compiler 1.7.1 devel" in version 1.9.0 is not complete. For the rest can-be-compiled nim files, i.e., code_compiler.nim, misc_examples.nim, simple_gui.nim, splitter.nim, usage_demo1.nim and wpf.nim, we can find lots of Hints for every nim source with Nim 1.7.1 devel. For example

$ nim c -r code_compiler.nim
Hint: used config file 'E:\msys64\home\Lenovo\_nim\nim\config\nim.cfg' [Conf]

C:\tmp\winim-master\examples\clr\code_compiler.nim(95, 7) Hint: 'TestClass' should be: 'testClass' [Name]

However, if I use nim 1.6.6 stable, not Hints is displayed when I compile the source

[retsyo]

And there is an interesting thing, simple_gui.exe is killed soon everytime if I try to run it since McAfee says Real Protect-PENGSD5!949F4EBC7FAE is found - yes I know it is a false report.

However, splitter.exe and wpf.exe can run without any false virus report.

[khchen]

OK, I became stupid after being a dad.
I add a small fix wihtout bump up the version.
Would you please try it again?

By the way, If some hints come from a file that I already added {.push hint[Name]: off.}, I can do nothing anymore.

[retsyo]

A new born baby! Congratulations!

Btw. now all examples under clr directory can be compiled without problem. As for Hints, I posted it as https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9382
