Syntax Error in DataSection

[Paul]

this gives syntax error in 5.20, worked fine in all previous versions ...

Code: Select all

DataSection
  _MyIcon:IncludeBinary "exit.ico"
EndDataSection

code must be changed to this to work...

Code: Select all

DataSection
  _MyIcon:
  IncludeBinary "exit.ico"
EndDataSection

[c4s]

Try this:

Code: Select all

DataSection
  _MyIcon: : IncludeBinary "exit.ico"
EndDataSection

[Little John]

code must be changed to this to work...

Code: Select all

DataSection
  _MyIcon:
  IncludeBinary "exit.ico"
EndDataSection

... or to this:

Code: Select all

DataSection
  _MyIcon: : IncludeBinary "exit.ico"
EndDataSection

This has been changed deliberately. No bug.

//edit: Oops! c4s was about half a minute faster.

Fred's point is well taken. It wasn't so obvious but in earlier versions where that worked, we were getting a newline "for free" as the single colon is part of the label.

And that also caused the problem of letting mistyped keywords/procedures go unnoticed since they were silently interpreted as labels.

Ah, this explanation make sense
