Hello, I was playing around with the ECMAScript implementation in 2.0.5, and found a bug when calling anonymous functions: ecmascript@(guile-user)> var foo = (function(x) { return x+1; })(1); $5 = 2 ecmascript@(guile-user)> foo; ;;; : warning: possibly unbound variable `foo' ERROR: In procedure #: ERROR: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: foo If you take a look at the compiled code: 0 (assert-nargs-ee/locals 0) ;; 0 args, 0 locals 2 (new-frame) 3 (toplevel-ref 7) 5 (mv-call 0 :L1233) ;; MV -> 15 10 (drop) 11 (br :L1234) ;; -> 18 15 (truncate-values 0 0) 18 (make-int8 2) ;; 2 20 (return) 21 (object-ref 8) 23 (define) 24 (void) 25 (return) I think it is the first (return) that causes the variable `foo' to not be defined. I did a bit of hacking and found out the problem occurs during the tree-il optimization step: Here's the tree-il code before optimization: (lambda () (lambda-case ((() #f #f #f () ()) (seq (call (@ (language ecmascript impl) js-init)) (seq (define foo (call (lambda () (lambda-case ((() (x) #f #f ((@ (language ecmascript impl) *undefined*)) (#{x 875}#)) (let () () () (primcall return (primcall #{1+}# (lexical x #{x 875}#))))))) (const 1))) (void)))))) And the tree-il after: (lambda () (lambda-case ((() #f #f #f () ()) (seq (call (@ (language ecmascript impl) js-init)) (seq (define foo (primcall return (const 2))) (void)))))) Regards, Steve
