为什么.vimrc中的函数会被自动调用？

Question

As I know, we could define function in .vimrc as below:

function Fun()
    do something here
endfunction

Then we could call it like :call Fun() .

For one of my system, there's only the function definition in my .vimrc, however the function is always exectued once I get into vim. Why?

Below is version of my vim:

Linking: gcc   -L/usr/local/lib -o vim       -lm  -lselinux -lncurses -lacl 

And my .vimrc:

# cat ~/.vimrc
function Fun1()
        :!ls
endfunction

Function name doesn't matter, I've changed the name as a test.

Update on July 8, 2015:

According to the answer from Ben, and since I'd like my .vimrc be compatible over multiple environments, I wrap the function definition with if has('eval')...endif as my finial solution:

if has('eval')
    function! Fun1()
        do something
    endfunction
endif

Your vim is compiled without "eval" support. That means your Vim does not support defining functions. The opening function Fun1() command is therefore invalid, and ignored. Then the function definition is executed because those are valid commands.

You will need to install a more fully-featured Vim, or compile your own Vim, or find an alternate Vim installation on your system that has more features. "eval" comes with a NORMAL or larger feature set.
