Expression toDelegate(Expression e, Type t, Scope* sc);

Convert expression into a delegate.

Used to convert the argument to a lazy parameter.

Parameters:

Expression e	argument to convert to a delegate
Type t	the type to be returned by the delegate
Scope* sc	context

Returns:

A delegate literal

bool lambdaCheckForNestedRef(Expression e, Scope* sc);

Look for references to variables in a scope enclosing the new function literal.

Essentially just calls checkNestedReference() for each variable reference in e`.

Parameters:

Scope* sc	context
Expression e	expression to check

Returns:

true if error occurs.

bool ensureStaticLinkTo(Dsymbol s, Dsymbol p);

See if context s is nested within context p, meaning it p is reachable at runtime by walking the static links. If any of the intervening contexts are function literals, make sure they are delegates.

Parameters:

Dsymbol s	inner context
Dsymbol p	outer context

Returns:

true means it is accessible by walking the context pointers at runtime
