PR #44231 (part of Julia 1.9) introduced the ability to modify globals with Mod.sym = val syntax. However, the intention of this syntax was always to modify existing globals in other modules. Unfortunately, as implemented, it also implicitly creates new bindings in the other module, even if the binding was not previously declared. This was not intended, but it's a bit of a syntax corner case, so nobody caught it at the time.

After some extensive discussions and taking into account the near future direction we want to go with bindings (#54654 for both), the consensus was reached that we should try to undo the implicit creation of bindings (but not the ability to assign the value of globals in other modules). Note that this was always an error until Julia 1.9, so hopefully it hasn't crept into too many packages yet. We'll see what pkgeval says. If use is extensive, we may want to consider a softer removal strategy.

Across base and stdlib, there's two cases affected by this change:

  1. A left over debug statement in precompile that wanted to assign a new variable in Base for debugging. Removed in this PR.
  2. Distributed wanting to create new bindings. This is a legimitate use case for wanting to create bindings in other modules. This is fixed in Don't rely on implicit binding creation by setglobal Distributed.jl#102.

As noted in that PR, the recommended replacement where implicit binding creation is desired is:

Core.eval(mod, Expr(:global, sym))
invokelatest(setglobal!, mod, sym, val)

The invokelatest is not presently required, but may be needed by #54654, so it's included in the recommendation now.

Fixes #54607

The package evaluation job you requested has completed - possible new issues were detected.
The full report is available.

Keno added a commit to Keno/Toolips.jl that referenced this pull request Jun 6, 2024
The `mod.sym = val` syntax is not supposed to be able to create new bindings
if `mod.sym` does not yet exist. The error check for this was accidentally
dropped in Julia 1.9, but will likely be put back in 1.11 [1]. This uses
Core.eval/invokelatest to achieve the same effect using the recommeded
replacement. As a general note, the way this package uses bindings is
clever, but not particularly idiomatic in Julia. Not saying you can't
do it, but I would recommend revisiting if at least the injected bindings
could perhaps be replaced by something like an IdDict.

See JuliaLang/julia#54678, `Mod.sym = val` is only supposed to work
for globals that were previously declared, but the error message for this
was accidentally dropped in Julia 1.9 and will likely be put back in Julia 1.11.

As a general note though, you may want to use `const` bindings here rather than
`global`s, as the compiler optimizes `const` better.
Keno added a commit to Keno/ACSets.jl that referenced this pull request Jun 6, 2024
The `@intertypes` macro assigns `mod.Meta` without declaring it.
This was accidentally allowed in Julia 1.9/1.10 due to a dropped
error check, but will likely be disallowed again in Julia 1.11.
See JuliaLang/julia#54678.

This just declares it `global` (which is what happened implicitly
on Julia 1.10/1.11). That said, you may want a `Const` instead,
in which case you would need a different fix.

I've submitted PRs to Toolips, RTableTools and ACSets which should cover all the PkgEval failures, except the one in AlgebraicRelations, which appears to be a lowering bug that I have yet to investigate.
