LPython version: 0.19.0

./src/bin/lpython --backend wasm examples/expr2.py

The --show-wat flag gives the same error as above.

Yes, the WASM backend is currently more limited than LLVM/C. Can you also post a minimal example?

Thanks for the report!

I think we can reproduce the error using the following:

$ cat examples/expr2.py 
if __name__ == "__main__":
   print(5)

$ lpython examples/expr2.py --backend wasm
