An edge case where the analyzer crashes #628

Description

@zampino
(ns scratch.repro
  {:nextjournal.clerk/no-cache true})

(do
  (declare b)
  (def a 1))

(inc a)

Throws

Execution error (ExceptionInfo) at nextjournal.clerk.analyzer/hash-codeblock (analyzer.clj:565).
`->hash` must be `ifn?`

from

(defn hash-codeblock [->hash {:as codeblock :keys [hash form id deps vars]}]
(when (and (seq deps) (not (ifn? ->hash)))
(throw (ex-info "`->hash` must be `ifn?`" {:->hash ->hash :codeblock codeblock})))
(let [hashed-deps (into #{} (map ->hash) deps)]
(sha1-base58 (binding [*print-length* nil]
(pr-str (set/union (conj hashed-deps (if form (remove-type-meta form) hash))
vars))))))

I find this error pretty confusing, as we should rather check that all dependencies have been hashed at this point, and not that ->hash is just a map. This could allow that certain deps are not hashed and that the nil value lands in the hashed-deps set above.

The error above reproduces only if the node a is at the beginning of the list (hence precedes declare) in the topological sorting of the analyzer graph nodes, this is the not all the time the case, apparently.

This issue is due to the fact that we store the form

(do
  (declare b)
  (def a 1))

under the key a in the analysis info map, while it probably should be stored under the block id only.
