HIPE bug in indirect function calls

[Brian Buchanan]

HIPE doesn't seem to handle indirect function calls.  The following works
fine when compiled without +native, and fails when compiled with.  It
doesn't matter if the function being called is part of the same module or
is in a different module.

This bug was observed with R10B-2 on FreeBSD 5.3/i386.

-module(native_test).
-export([test/0, func/0]).

test() ->
    F = {?MODULE, func},
    (F)().

func() ->
    ok.

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.4.3 [source] [hipe] [threads:0]

Eshell V5.4.3  (abort with ^G)
1> c(native_test).
{ok,native_test}
2> native_test:test().
ok
3> c(native_test, native).
{ok,native_test}
4> native_test:test().
