bug#11258: 24.1.50; lexical binding inconsistencies

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hi,

I have an elisp file with this content:

; Test  -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

(defun test1 (arg)
  (interactive "i")
  (funcall (lambda () arg)))

(defun test2 (arg)
  (interactive "i")
  ((lambda () arg)))

;; (test1 nil)
;; (test2 nil)

I visit the file and do M-x eval-buffer.  Then I do the following:

1(a) Put point after (test1 nil) and hit C-x C-e: nil
1(b) M-x test1: nil
2(a) Put point after (test2 nil) and hit C-x C-e
     If I had loaded my .emacs before, I get nil
     With emacs -Q, I get: Lisp error: (void-variable arg)
2(b) M-x test2: Lisp error: (void-variable arg)

Now, byte compile the file, and load the compiled code.  Now, repeat
the above four tests.  You always get nil, and no error.

That's strange - shouldn't the result always be nil?  If not, this
(surprising) behavior should be documented in the manual.

I've experimented a lot, and found that the results for 2(a) are not
always the same.

OTOH, the compiled code always works as expected (result nil).


Regards,

Michael.
