Fails to compile on Windows with `--gc:orc`

[maleyva1]

As the title says, the following program fails to compile on Windows with --gc:orc:

import serial

for i in listSerialPorts():
   echo i

Expected behavior:

• Sample program compiles

Actual behavior:

• The program fails to compile with --gc:orc and we get the following message:

$HOME\.nimble\pkgs\serial-1.1.5\serial\private\utils\windows_registry.nim(89, 81) Error: expression cannot be cast to pointer

---

Nim Version:
1.6.12

OS:
Windows 11 Pro 22H2 Build 22621.1702

Interesting. I haven’t actually tested with orc, but will do so next weekend when I next have access and time to test.
