Until loop that crashes POL

[Naglfar]

Hello,
I can't post do a Bugs section, can I?

There's code that crashes my POL098.1-2009-06-24:

Code: Select all

repeat
  var a;
until(a);

I think ECompile shouldn't allow to compile this.

I suspect that a debugger would be the type of program to find something like you posted. eCompile looks for syntax and grammatical errors during a compile but cannot account for bad logic or poor programming style. But you do make a good point that it would be nice to have some kind of analytical tool that would help in discovering those types of situations.

That is kinda weird though... eCompile I think SHOULD catch this one only because this in my opinion seems to be an "out of scope" error... somewhat similar to...

Code: Select all

if (true)
   var a := 1;
endif
if (a)

That's my point.
