What did you do? v -g -o vdbg cmd/v && vdbg main.v

import lexer

fn main() {
    println('Hello sailor!!!')
}

What did you expect to see?

Hello sailor!!!

What did you see instead?

I was just playing with V to discover the language that I found really interesting so my code is probably wrong but it seems that there is a bug in the compiler so I reported the issue as asked in the output log :). The code is available here : https://github.com/gthvn1/vervet/tree/bug_report It is more a playground but it seems that I messed with module..

Hope this will help,

I cloned your project and tried it based on the information you provided, but I couldn't reproduce the problem, everything works for me. I'm on Ubuntu 23.10 and I used tcc / gcc and clang for the test.

Maybe because I'm on Ubuntu?

Have other people managed to reproduce the problem?

[gthvn1]

@GGRei thanks for trying to reproduce :+1: . you tried with the branch bug_report I guess? The other point that maybe is not clear is that if I run v run . at the toplevel of the repository it is working. But if I run it in the src/ directory then I see the issue reported. Note that to fix that (as I continue to test) I just moved the v.mod to src/ and it works. So I think that the error is because I don't use tool as expected but as it generates an error when compiling to C code maybe it is interesting.

[GGRei]

@gthvn1 Okay! I didn't realize you were using the v run . command.

Ok, I do see the problem now. Thank you for the additional information!

Running with clang it shows:
