RuntimeException: <inst pixie.stdlib.Keyword> Var assoc is undefined #535
Description
I just tried compiling pixie on a Macbook Pro, macOS 10.13.2, but couldn't run the resulting pixie-vm executable. It crashed with the following error message:
$ ./pixie-vm
in internal function run_load_stdlib
in internal function load-ns
in internal function load-file
in internal function load-reader
RuntimeException: <inst pixie.stdlib.Keyword> Var assoc is undefined
Following the instructions to build the executable all I basically did was:
$ brew install libuv libffi boost
$ git clone https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie.git
$ make build_with_jit
Here's some additional info about the installed versions:
$ brew info libuv libffi boost

==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because some formulae require a newer version of libffi.
For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib
For pkg-config to find this software you may need to set:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH: /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig

Any idea what caused this?

@heyarne took me a while but I finally got to the bottom of it. The latest version on master is broken. To get it working use the previous merge:
(SHA 5eb0ccb).
Like so:
After that everything should be peachy fab

@heyLu @egregius313 I have no idea why or how but the
letfnmacro has brokenpixie.The Travis CI build also failed.
pixiestill returns 0 so the I suspect Travis didn't pick up on the failure.Compiling stdlib.pxi fails and that brings everything crashing down.
Perhaps we roll back till we can fix?

@alekcz I'm not sure what the problem is. I'd suggest rolling it back until we can find the issue
alekcz commentedon Jan 14, 2018
@egregius313 It's this bit of code:
It doesn't seem to be able to ignore
letfn*until the macro is "ready" so to speakegregius313 commentedon Jan 14, 2018
I think the issue is that my definition is based on Clojure's definition of
letfnand forgot to add a definition for theletfn*operation. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure it's likelet*where it's built-in in Clojure. So I need to rewrite Pixie'sletfnto expand into aletblock. Just roll it back for nowalekcz commentedon Jan 22, 2018
@thomasmulvaney any chance you could help with a roll back?
theronic commentedon Sep 27, 2018
To which revision should we rollback to, this one?
And how long should compilation take? First compile took 16 minutes on my 15" Macbook Pro.
linneman commentedon Sep 27, 2018
Hi Theronic,
yes, I used exactly the version you have mentioned in your last post:
git checkout -b work 5eb0ccb
Compilation takes a while. I do not remember the exact time but 16 minutes sounds reasonable.
Have fund and Regards, Otto
