compiler crash when using call builtin about prog8 HOT 6 CLOSED

yeah, let desertfish see it, so he can add a proper error message

from prog8.

I think I know, what could cause it?

void = call(workFunc)

technically, the correct syntax for ignoring a return value from a single return value function is this:

void call(workFunc)

void = syntax wasn't a thing until multi-return syntax was added recently, and I guess the handling of void = for regular functions wasn't added, so stuff happen.

But that's just my thesis.

Yup, that fixes it. That's a fine workaround for me! (I'm used to that syntax.)

from prog8.

I'll let you ( @irmen ) decide whether to keep this open to handle that or just close it.

from prog8.

With -target virtual, it also crashes, but with a different error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: node prog8.code.ast.PtFunctionCall@ccd1bc3 name is not scoped: call

Minimal reproduction:

main {
  sub start() {
    void = call($2000)
  }
}

related compiler crash:

main {
  sub start() {
    void = 123
  }
}
