Topic says all.
I was very astonished as I looked in the BUG-Reports section that this seems not to be allowed.
Break and ProcedureReturn should cleanup the stack in every situation it breaks out a look or a Select/ EndSelect block or the compiler should even give a warning on this.

ProcedureReturn inside a Select/EndSelect-block works just fine or am I missing something?

x86 winXP sp3
Code: Select all
For i=0 To 10
Select zero
Case 0
Debug "break - exit of loop"
Break
EndSelect
Next
Debug "ok"
Procedure test()
Select zero
Case 0
Debug "ProcedureReturn - exit of procedure"
ProcedureReturn
EndSelect
EndProcedure
test()
Debug "ok"

the question to be answered is, if it is a QUAD problem.
if yes, it should be at least stated in the Help that Select is not suitable for Quads.
to my knowledge, the stack processing was fixed thus FakeEndSelect was removed.
History sais it was with 3.62
it was fixed for LONG-Selects, and if it wasn't extended meanwhile,
it's obvious that there will be a mistake now when the Select handles a Quad and the compiler cleans the Stack for a LONG-Select.

This should be allowed, it must be a bug.
