Strange or interesting zcompile behavior, for in-loop func defs

Strange or interesting zcompile behavior, for in-loop func defs

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

Hello,
I've added debugging message in execfuncdef():

        if (state->prog->dump || !names) {
            if (!names) {
                ...
            } else {
                fprintf( stderr, "Have dump for: %s, file: %s\n", s, state->prog->dump->filename);
                fflush( stderr );
                prog->flags = EF_MAP;
                incrdumpcount(state->prog->dump);

It outputs:

Have dump for: _zsh_highlight_widget_zle-isearch-update, file: /Users/sgniazdowski/.zplugin/lexicon.zwc

The point is: this function is declared in a loop:

         if [[ $cur_widget == zle-* ]] && [[ -z $widgets[$cur_widget] ]]; then
           _zsh_highlight_widget_${cur_widget}() { :; _zsh_highlight }

I do zcompile lexicon.zwc ~/.zplugin/lexicon/*, the directory contains function with the loop. Zcompile apparently picks up above function definition. But from where it gets ${cur_widget}? This is a dynamic data, established at runtime.

The loop:

I'm fairly sure the dump structure is being found from the Eprog for
the _zsh_highlight_bind_widgets function, which contains the loop in
question, and is not actually the dump of the
_zsh_highlight_widget_zle-isearch-update function.
