Record lifting isn't functioning properly #39

Open asujeeth opened 11 years ago

Constructing a new Record { ... } from application code fails mysteriously in many cases. Possibly related to missing implicits or ambiguous implicits in scope.

This appears to be mostly a Scala-Virtualized issue (though it isn't clear why it seems to work better in non-generated Delite DSLs). The situation is somewhat improved in 2.10.2-RC1: the compiler isn't crashing anymore (at least in some cases), but is instead reporting errors related to being unable to apply infix methods inside the new Record scope.
