Steps to reproduce:

1) save attached file as `wtf.el';
2) execute from command line:

    $ emacs --batch --eval "(byte-compile-file \"wtf.el\")"
    $ emacs --batch -L . --eval "(require 'wtf)" --eval "(print (funcall
(wtf 1)))"

Results, of the first command (byte-compilation):

    In wtf:
    wtf.el:9:17:Warning: reference to free variable ‘it’

of the second:

    Symbol’s value as variable is void: it

Expected results: byte compilation succeeds without warnings, second
command prints "1".

Note that if you change line "(let ((fn #'(lambda () it)))" to e.g. "(let
((fn #'(lambda () nil)))", everything works as expected.  However, 'fn' _is
not even used_ when function `wtf' is called with non-nil argument, which
further conforms that the observed behavior is a bug.  Another indication:
when the function is not byte-compiled (e.g. delete file `wtf.elc' after
the first command), it produces expected results.

Function, of course, doesn't make any sense.  It is a result of removing
contents of real failure until it is as small as possible.

Hello Paul,

thanks for the report, I can reproduce the issue, there is something
going wrong when compiling.  I guess this is something for Mattias or
Stefan maybe? (CC'd)

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

(defun wtf (x)
  (let ((it 0))
    #'(lambda ()
        (let ((fn #'(lambda () it)))
          (if x
              (let ((it x))
                it)
            (funcall fn))))))
#+end_src

Byte compile:

>     wtf.el:9:17:Warning: reference to free variable ‘it’

(funcall (wtf 1))

>     Symbol’s value as variable is void: it

while expected result is 1.  Uncompiled code works as expected.

TIA,

Michael.

Yes, looks like a bug in cconv. Fun! I'll have a look.

Ok - that's what I guessed.  Thanks for checking.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1463 bytes --]

Just to note: I consider this bug pretty important. The example function
looks artificial, but I got the real failure by combining macros from
different packages (`dash.el' for all the `it' bindings, plus `pcase' and
`iter2' for lambdas, but I'm pretty sure you could get a failure with
nested complicated `pcase' alone, if you want to go "only built-in" route).
So, while it is apparently unlikely, you still can stumble into an
incomprehensible breakdown in any sofisticated function by nesting enough
macros that work otherwise and actually produce code that should work also
in this case. But doesn't, when byte-compiled.

You are not alone! However, it's been there for quite a long time so you cannot count on an eventual fix to be back-ported to Emacs 28, much less older releases. If you value compatibility with old versions, be prepared for work-arounds.

For that matter I know exactly what's wrong and am currently weighing various solutions.

Uh, it's not even released yet. Are the stabilization rules so strict that
even a *fix* cannot go in? Unless it is going to be a rewrite of half the
file...

Sorry, I'd love to have it in 28 but I don't make the rules.

Meanwhile, here's a lightly tested attempt at a fix. I'm not very satisfied by it because it forces an up-front access of a captured variable; I'd rather sink it to each application of the λ-lifted function.

Thanks for the fix. I'm sure in 2025 it will be released.

Yes - only fixes of regressions introduced by the same release are
allowed at the moment.

I totally understand your anger, but such rules are useful.  If
arbitrary fixes would be allowed at any point of the development cycle
the result would be worse than what we have now.  It's also a quite
common policy.  Yes, it sucks, but it is necessary nonetheless.

Yes, but it does cause some inconvenience in a project with Emacs's geological release pace. It is difficult to defend an inability to rapidly release an updated version when a serious bug has been found.

Now, regarding the actual bug. Consider the function

1 (defun f (x)
2   (lambda ()
3     (let ((g (lambda () x)))
4       (let ((x 'a))
5         (list x (funcall g))))))

First of all, the variable x is free in the function starting in line 2, so that function is converted to a closure capturing that variable explicitly.

Next, the function bound to g will be lambda-lifted; ie, converted to (lambda (x) x) which means that the call to g in line 5 must be amended to include the value of x. However, we can't just change (funcall g) to (funcall g x) because x is shadowed by the binding in 4, so a new variable is introduced for this purpose.

The result after cconv is essentially (without the fix):

1 (defun f (x)
2   (internal-make-closure nil (x) nil
3     (let ((g (lambda (x) x)))
4       (let ((x 'a)
5             (closed-x x))
6         (list x (funcall g closed-x))))))

But x is not the right expression for closed-x, because it is a captured variable. The patch fixes this:

1 (defun f (x)
2   (internal-make-closure nil (x) nil
3     (let ((g (lambda (x) x)))
4       (let ((x 'a)
5             (closed-x (internal-get-closed-var 0)))
6         (list x (funcall g closed-x))))))

As I mentioned previously, it would be probably be better to elide closed-x entirely and produce

1 (defun f (x)
2   (internal-make-closure nil (x) nil
3     (let ((g (lambda (x) x)))
4       (let ((x 'a))
5         (list x (funcall g (internal-get-closed-var 0)))))))

In other words, the bug occurs when a variable is captured, lambda-lifted, and shadowed.
I need to take another good look at the code to make sure the change is correct (more eyes on it would be appreciated).

Would it help if I rebuild Emacs including the patch to look if
everything is fine?

[BTW, how can I tell git-am to not barf about an overlong commit message
and just use the patch?]

Thanks,

Michael.

Thank you, but you might just as well save that effort for later because I just found a case where it doesn't work. A repaired patch will arrive soon (we hope). Sorry!

The current technological level of mankind is not yet advanced enough for such hyper-problems. Our best brains have struggled with it for decades to no avail.

> I just found a case where it doesn't work. A repaired patch will arrive soon (we hope).

Not one but two patches for your enjoyment, representing two alternative solutions. Patch A is an extension of the original proposal and is simpler but perhaps less performant; patch B is messier but may result in better code.

To connect to the previous example, cconv transforms the function

(defun f (x)
  (lambda ()
    (let ((f (lambda () x)))
      (let ((x 'a))
        (list x (funcall f))))))

with patch A into

(defun f (x)
  (internal-make-closure
   nil (x) nil
   (let ((f (lambda (x) x)))
     (let ((x 'a)
           (closed-x (internal-get-closed-var 0)))
       (list x (funcall f closed-x))))))

and with patch B into

(defun f (x)
  (internal-make-closure
   nil (x) nil
   (let ((f (lambda (x) x)))
     (let ((x 'a))
       (list x (funcall f (internal-get-closed-var 0)))))))

This looks like a wash but the optimiser isn't able to elide that superfluous closed-x variable yet, and in Paul's original example the captured variable is only used in one conditional branch which makes it a loss to bind it up-front whereas it's very cheap to materialise at the call site (a single constant-pushing byte op).

On the other hand, patch B does abuse the cconv data structures a little (but it works!). We'll see if Stefan can stomach it.

(This reminds me: we should probably declare internal-get-closed-var as pure and error-free, even though it's not even an actual function.)

Subject: [PATCH] Fix closure-conversion of shadowed captured lambda-lifted
 vars

* lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv.el (cconv-convert):
Lambda lifted variables (ones passed explicitly to lambda-lifted
functions) that are also captured in an outer closure and shadowed
were renamed incorrectly.  Fix that by providing the correct
definiens for the closed-over variable (bug#51982).

* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el (bytecomp-tests--test-cases):
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv-tests.el (cconv-tests--intern-all)
(cconv-closure-convert-remap-var): Add tests.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix closure-conversion of shadowed captured lambda-lifted
 vars

* lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv.el (cconv-convert):
Lambda lifted variables (ones passed explicitly to lambda-lifted
functions) that are also captured in an outer closure and shadowed
were renamed incorrectly.  Fix that by dropping the renaming
since it's not needed for captured variables (bug#51982).

* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el (bytecomp-tests--test-cases):
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv-tests.el (cconv-tests--intern-all)
(cconv-closure-convert-remap-var): Add tests.

Can we avoid this duplication by moving that code to a separate function?

> +      (funcall (funcall f 'b)))

These two tests are identical aren't they?  Also, can we change the
(setq x x) into something like (setq x (list x x)) and avoid using the
same `b` value for both `x` vars, so as to catch more potential errors?

Looks good (better than patch A).

You say "On the other hand, patch B does abuse the cconv data structures
a little (but it works!)" so the code should say something about
this abuse.  A least I failed to see where the abuse lies.

Same comment as before about the code duplication.

I extracted a big part of the code into a common function but left the free variable access and mutation outside. (Really want to get rid of `let*`!)

No, they exercise different code paths (let and let*).

Yes, thank you, it was an editing mistake. Fixed.

And here I was prepared to apply patch A since it's slightly more conservative and it seems to be a rare problem anyway.
I've now split the patches in a more sensible (and easily reviewed) way: the first corresponds to patch A, and the second is the diff to B. Take a second look before making up your mind.

There are comments and doc strings such as

  EXTEND is a list of variables which might need to be accessed even from places
  where they are shadowed, because some part of ENV causes them to be used at
  places where they originally did not directly appear.

but with the B patch we put things into `extend` that are not strictly variables but (international-get-closed-var N).
Similarly, `env` has entries like (VAR . (apply-partially F ARG1 ARG2 ..)) where the ARGi are always treated as variables but now they can be access forms as well.

I suppose it doesn't matter much. There is an assertion at the very top of `cconv-convert` which compares the elements by `eq` but it seems to work all right...

Thanks for the review – new patches attached.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix closure-conversion of shadowed captured lambda-lifted
 vars

* lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv.el (cconv--lifted-arg): New.
(cconv-convert):
Lambda lifted variables (ones passed explicitly to lambda-lifted
functions) that are also captured in an outer closure and shadowed
were renamed incorrectly.  Fix that by providing the correct
definiens for the closed-over variable (bug#51982).

* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el (bytecomp-tests--test-cases):
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv-tests.el (cconv-tests--intern-all)
(cconv-closure-convert-remap-var): Add tests.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Improved closure-conversion of shadowed captured
 lambda-lifted vars

* lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv.el (cconv-convert):
Eliminate the intermediate variable `closed-VAR` when the shadowed
variable is captured in an outer closure, since the accessor can be
used directly (bug#51982).

* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv-tests.el (cconv-tests--intern-all)
(cconv-closure-convert-remap-var): Adapt tests.

> (Really want to get rid of `let*`!)

FWIW, we could get rid of it in `cconv-convert`.
That would have less impact than doing it in macroexpansion.

[ We could also force dynamically-scoped code to go through (a neutered
  version of) cconv.el , so that bytecomp.el and byte-opt.el can presume
  that `let*` doesn't exist any more.  ]

Tho maybe we'd want to eliminate `let` instead.  ;-)

BTW, have you checked the impact on byte-code quality?

See below, I think we don't need to put them there.

I don't think the current code assumes that ARGs are vars here.
You're probably right that it used to be the case and it's not any more,
but that shouldn't cause problems.  The risk I can see is if one of
those ARGs is an expression which refers to a var which gets shadowed,
in which case `cconv--remap-llv` won't rewrite it the way it should.
But I think with your code ARG will either be a simple var or something
of the form (internal-get-closed-var N) so we should be safe.

The docstring or comment at the beginning should mention this function
is specifically for shadowed vars.

Also, If mapping is of the form (car-safe SYMBOL) is `var` really the
correct answer?  Shouldn't it still be (cadr mapping)?

Looks good.
Side note: I don't understand why we `(cons closedsym`, since that
`closedsym` can never appear in another binding (since it's fresh).

Just like I think the `(cons closedsym` is useless in the current (and
in patch A), I think this `(cons lifted-arg` is not needed.

I don't much like this `symbolp` test (which fundamentally seems to
be trying to recover the information about which branch of the `pcase`
we're coming from in `cconv--lifted-arg`).  It at least deserves
a comment explaining why it's doing the right thing.
If we can remove this `symbolp` test recovering info about provenance of
the result of `cconv--lifted-arg` then I think option B is better, but
I prefer otherwise option A.

Yes, a dynbind frontend would be handy for other reasons (some syntactic normalisation in case we can't do in macroexpand-all). 

> BTW, have you checked the impact on byte-code quality?

With respect to these patches? Yes: the B patch gives slightly better code because materialising the accessor (internal-get-closed-var N) is as cheap or cheaper than even a stack variable access. But the difference is small and since the case is rare it's probably insignificant.

In fact, there is probably a way of making them produce identical code by constant-propagating such forms in the optimiser. Who knows, might give unexpected improvements to existing code as well. Time for an experiment!

Can there ever be a difference? I don't think so, but prove me wrong!
(If you manage to do that, you will have found a second bug in the original code.)

For context, this is the case when we have a variable mutated by a lambda lifted inner function (that doesn't escape). The variable will be wrapped in a cons but retain its name. Example:

(lambda (x)
  (let ((f (lambda () (setq x (1+ x)))))
    (let ((x 3))
      (list x (funcall f)))))
->
(lambda (x)
  (let ((x (list x))) 
    (let ((f (lambda (x) (setcar x (1+ (car-safe x))))))
      (let ((x 3)
            (closed-x x))
        (list x (funcall f closed-x))))))

Maybe it's to satisfy the invariant checked by the assertion at the top?

That's precisely what it is trying to do and no, I don't like it much either.

I suppose cconv--lifted-arg could be made a location function; we could then access and mutate local variables. Something poetically self-referential about that, but I'm not overly fond of the closure creation overhead (better than what it once was but still too high).

I don't see any alternative that is obviously better so I'm applying patch A. We can still go with B later on if we want; the changes are minor.

Good comments, thank you very much!

No I meant w.r.t removing `let*` (or `let` as the case may be).

I'm not worried at all about the performance of this corner-case.

There's a big philosophical difference, yes.

I don't think so because this one just checks that the
`cconv--remap-llv` was called where needed and did its job.

... [ goes and removes that `(cons closedsym` ] ...
... [ `make` ] ...

Oh, you're right!

I think another way to do the patch B would be to replace `var` with
`lifted` right when we construct the (apply-partially ...) thingy
(i.e. in the :lambda-candidate part of the function), so those vars that
get remapped to `internal-get-closed-var` wouldn't even make their way
to `extend`.

Good.

Yes, and I can confirm that both transformations (let* -> let and the inverse) seem to generate almost or exactly identical bytecode for lexbind code. If you can find an example where it's worse, I'd like to know.

We could declare it an invariant and add an assertion.

Yes, that would probably be even cleaner. Then we wouldn't need to worry about shadowing for those.
I'm not going to do more experimenting with it now but do try it if it makes the code better.

By the way, I did try constant-propagating `(internal-get-closed-var N)` but got less yield than I hoped for. I'll look closer, maybe I made a silly mistake.

That wasn't for your consumption but to inform the unwashed masses who can't tell the difference!

And by "yes" I mean "no", since the identical bytecode is only true in the absence of mutation which, as always, throws a spanner in the works. For example, while

(let ((x (sin y)) (y (cos x)))
  (+ x y))))
->
(let* ((x0 (sin y)) (y (cos x)) (x x0))
  (+ x y))))

is a transformation with identical bytecode, mutating one of the variables:

(let ((x (sin y)) (y (cos x)))
  (setq x (1+ x))
  (+ x y))))
->
(let* ((x0 (sin y)) (y (cos x)) (x x0))
  (setq x (1+ x))
  (+ x y))))

will prevent the intermediate from being eliminated. Not a disaster by any means but not good enough as a general method of translation.
