Select + Goto

[Everything]

Select + Goto inside always = Stack corruption.

Very basic example:

Code: Select all

Procedure test(val)
  Select val
    Case 1
      ;Do something
    Case 2
      ;Do something
    Default 
      Goto finalize
  EndSelect
  
  ;Do something else
  ProcedureReturn #True 
  
  finalize:
  ;cleanup
  ProcedureReturn #False 
EndProcedure

test(0)

I think this can be fixed.

It's not a bug if the manual says not to do it:

never use it inside a Select/EndSelect block

[Everything]

True

never use it inside a Select/EndSelect block (Unless you have the ability to manage the stack yourself, correctly.)

Not a big deal to fix stack manually, or use alternatives. My bad, don't read the docs first, now I know, thx!
