Squirrel

This code causes an access violation in squirrel when run in sq.exe or prints "((null) : 0x008E3884)" when run in real project:

--------------------------------
function test(str)
{
local f = function() : (str) {
print(str+"\n")
return 1;
}

return f()
}

::test("abcd");
--------------------------------

These versions work correct:

1)
--------------------------------
function test(str)
{
local f = function() : (str) {
local s = str
print(s+"\n")
return 1;
}

return f()
}

::test("abcd");

--------------------------------

2)
function test(str)
{
local f = function() : (str) {
print(str+"\n")
return 1;
}

local res = f()
return res
}

::test("abcd");

Indeed I can reproduce it also on 2.2, I'll take a look at it as soon as I get home.

 thx for the report

I found and fixed the bug, FYI the problem is caused by the fact the when 'f' is ivoked as a tailcall, the closure is delete when the caller stack is collapsed. Now I keep a strong reference of the closure in the call stack. No biggie, quite an obscure bug though.

I'll release a 2.2.1 tonite or tomorrow as soon as I'm done with the tests.
