reify_nested_inner_refers_to_local.scala:9: error: the splice cannot be resolved statically, which means there is a cross-stage evaluation involved. cross-stage evaluations need to be invoked explicitly, so we're showing you this error. if you're sure this is not an oversight, add scala-compiler.jar to the classpath, import `scala.tools.reflect.Eval` and call `.eval` instead. reify{x}.splice ^ one error found
