Map function with a variable under walkDirRec caused a compile error

[hokamoto]

Using a map function with a variable under walkDirRec iterator caused a compile error.

Example

The below snippet itself does not make sense because I made up it for reproducing the problem with minimum code. I came across the problem during coding a real application.

import os, sequtils, sequtils, sugar

for file in walkDirRec("./"):
  let multiplier = 5
  echo(toSeq(1..4).map(x => x * multiplier))

Current Output

Error: execution of an external compiler program 'clang -c  -w  -I/Users/hokamoto/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-1.0.0/lib -I/Users/hokamoto/NimProjects/video_thumbnail -o /Users/hokamoto/.cache/nim/a_d/a.nim.c.o /Users/hokamoto/.cache/nim/a_d/a.nim.c' failed with exit code: 1

Expected Output

@[5, 10, 15, 20]

Possible Solution

I found the error did not occur when not using variable or not under walkDirRec.

Work (Not using a variable)

import os, sequtils, sequtils, sugar

for file in walkDirRec("./"):
  echo(toSeq(1..4).map(x => x * 5))

Work (Not under walkDirRec)

import os, sequtils, sequtils, sugar

let multiplier = 5
echo(toSeq(1..4).map(x => x * multiplier))

A similar example, but using mapIt, works:

import os, sequtils, sequtils, sugar

for file in walkDirRec("./"):
  let multiplier = 5
  echo(toSeq(1..4).mapIt(it * multiplier))

Thanks. mapIt works for me! But do you know why map caused the compile error?

This issue has not been fixed on v1.6.6.
