Exception when trying to `run` a class expression

minimized code

Macro:

package playground

import scala.quoted._, scala.quoted.matching._
import delegate scala.quoted._
import scala.tasty._

delegate for Toolbox = Toolbox.make(getClass.getClassLoader)

object macros {
  inline def mcr(x: => Any): Any = ${mcrImpl('x)}

  class Foo { val x = 10 }

  def mcrImpl(body: Expr[Any]) given (ctx: QuoteContext): Expr[Any] = {
    import ctx.tasty._
    body match {
      case '{$x: Foo} => run(x).x.toExpr
    }
  }
}

Main:

package playground

import playground.macros._

val foo = new Foo
@main def main = println(mcr { foo })

expectation

I'd expect to be able to run any expression, given that there are mechanisms in place to ensure their self-consistency (phase consistency principle). If for some reason it is not possible to run expressions of classes, I'd expect a more user-friendly error.

[nicolasstucki]

Here we have a scope extrusion of x, which should be rejected or have a better exception message. This is related to #4730.

[anatoliykmetyuk]

Do you think it is not possible to do run on some expressions? What's the cause?

[nicolasstucki]

Because you are trying to precompile code and run that depends on code that has not be compiled yet. It is even worse if you depend on a locally defined value.
