Lookup bindings in the latest world #657
Conversation
Post-partitioning the executing world age matters for bindings lookup. JuliaInterpreter currently does not model world age correctly. That's a bigger issue. However, for now, just look up bindings in the latest world age, which mostly restores the unpartitioned behavior.

If invokelatest isn’t specified, in which world do these functions perform binding lookups?
Not just in JuliaInterpreter, but for packages using getglobal, I assumed the default lookup world for getglobal would be set to the latest as I believed it would then be non-breaking.
The current TLS age of the executing task.
No, those cannot be the semantics as all global accesses would then have to be inferred to |
