[Amforth-devel] [bug] missing "then" not caught by compiler

[Erich W. <ew....@na...>]

Hello,

amforth, rev.736 (3.4)


amforth 3.4 ATmega32 ok
 > : test1 0= if -1  ( no then ) ;
  ok
 > : test2 0= if -1 else 0 ( no then ) ;
  ok
 > 1 test1 .
--- hangs here until reset ---
amforth 3.4 ATmega32
 > 1 test2 .
  ?? -13 8

if statements missing the trailing "then" will compile
without the compiler barking. I consider this a bug.

calling such a word will produce a "hang" in one case.
This can be viewed as another bug, but that is not
important. In the other case it is producing an
error message at least.

Cheers,
Erich
