Consider the following program where we allocate a mutable variable x in a region r1, and return a closure that contains it.
interface Ref[T] {
def get(): T
}
def main() = {
var myref =
region r1 {
var x in r1 = "hoho";
new Ref[String] {
def get() = x
}
}
println(myref.get())
}
This program is accepted but it should not. When changing var myref to val myref it is rejected, which is good.
One bit of additional information: the inferred type of the returned ref is Ref[String] at {r1}, which is correct. So my conjecture is that simply the wellformedness check is buggy:
