#663 IF conditions weird behaviour

[Nikos Papageorgiou]

Using 3.1:

---

if person less or equal 0 display "true" end-if. > OK
if person not less or equal 0 display "true" end-if. > OK
BUT:
if person less or equals 0 display "true" end-if. > OK
if person not less or equals 0 display "true" end-if. > error: invalid expression

One would expect not less or equals 0 to be OK, same as not less or equal 0 is.

---

if person not (less or equals) 0 display "true" end-if. *> attempt to reference unallocated memory (signal SIGSEGV)

Thank for the report, Nikos! I can reproduce both issues.

You are welcome Edward, I am glad I can help.

I really like this project and have used the last 2 months trying to make an IDE plugin, so I try to type all sorts of weird things to see if they are allowed and therefore whether the plugin should display errors/warnings etch.

So I have found a few of these things already, also https://sourceforge.net/p/open-cobol/bugs/661/

Fixed in [r3713] and merged to gnucobol-3.x in [r3714].
