[async] Cannot read property 'members' of undefined

[nippur72]

when compiling this code for ES5 (not ES6)

async function f() {
   return { };  
}

instead of giving the "only available in ES6" warning, it throws this exception:

               throw e;
                     ^

using tsc 1.5.3

[rbuckton]

@nippur72: TypeScript 1.5.3 does not contain support for Async Functions, and I cannot seem to repro this in master. It's possible a recent unrelated change may have fixed this. Is it possible you were using a different version of the compiler than the one you mentioned above? Can you verify the version of the compiler you are using, or possibly verify this against a recent nightly build?

@nippur72 can you try using latest `typescript@next?

[nippur72]

@mhegazy @rbuckton I've checked with typescript@next and the bug is gone, so I'm closing this.

(P.S. I was sure it was 1.5.3, but as you've said it couldn't be, so more likely I had something greater than 1.5.3).

[mhegazy]

thanks @nippur72 for confirming.

I think the issue is not yet gone.

I'm using typescript 1.6.0-dev.20150819 with experimentalAsyncFunctions enabled, targetting es6

The following code seems to trigger the error:

async function abcd() {
    console.log('abcd');
}
abcd().then(() => {
    console.log('then');
});

or

async function abcd() {
    console.log('abcd');
}
async function runAbcd() {
    await abcd();
}
runAbcd();

The following compiles (unfortunately there's no awaiting mechanism):

async function abcd() {
    console.log('abcd');
}
abcd();

Yes the issue is back, I re-discovered it yesterday in 1.6 nightly, so I'm reopening it.
