nim c --gc:none --os:standalone --stacktrace:off ~/test.nim
Error: system module needs 'newSeq'

[yglukhov]

But it works with --deadCodeElim:on. Should --os:standalone or --gc:none imply --deadCodeElim:on?

yeah, there are plans to make --deadCodeElim:on the default and remove the switch altogether.

Why remove the switch? The ability to disable it might come in handy someday.

Closing since deadCodeElim is now always on.
