Evaluating functional IR throws `unsupported or misplaced expression lambda`

[rtjoa]

Functional IRs sometimes throw unsupported or misplaced expression lambda or ERROR: MethodError: objects of type IRTools.Inner.Self are not callable when evaluated (similar to #54)

Environment: IRTools v0.4.7, Julia Version 1.81, macOS Monterey, Apple M1 Pro

using IRTools: IR, @dynamo, functional, evalir, @code_ir

@dynamo function functional_dyna(a...)
    ir = IR(a...)
    ir === nothing && return
    functional(ir)
end

foo() = false
bar() = if true false else false end

# Works: foo run normally
functional_dyna(foo)  # false

# Works: foo run in two steps
ir = @code_ir functional_dyna foo()
evalir(ir, foo)  # false

# Works: bar run normally
functional_dyna(bar)  # false

# Errors: bar run in two steps
ir = @code_ir functional_dyna bar()
evalir(ir, bar)  # ERROR: unsupported or misplaced expression lambda
