Description

I got this wired error message in DrRacket when running this small rhombus programs will

#lang rhombus

import:
  ffi open

foreign.struct ab(a :: float_t,
                  b :: float_t)  

It turns out I turned on some "Debugging" option. Disable it will fix the error.


I don't know what problem exactly this is because I don't know what is that debugging option.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported Rhombus foreign.struct example in DrRacket with the Debugging option enabled, then compare it with the working configuration where that option is disabled. Identify which debugging setting causes the error and determine whether the program should run or the failure should be reported more clearly; done means the behavior is fixed or documented with a focused regression check.
