Forums Bug Reports bug goto and if ()

Maybe this bug is already posted on this forum but error goto (...)


and i have in my status window


In fact, the goto command search the :1 label, but this label is in /if in the top. Goto can't find the label, in this script, it will freez.

An other code:

And i get "> 1" in the status window.
Here, goto have found the label in /if command, in down of his.
(sorry for my english)

I think that it is a nonsense...

alias test {
if (0) {
:1
echo > 1
}
goto 1
}

Try with this

alias test {
:1
if (0) {
echo > 1
}
goto 1
}
because goto, check before the if, ok?

Strictly speaking, from other languages, /goto is supposed to jump to any spot in the script with no restriction. But then again, this *is* only mIRC Script.

It seems to be that mIRC won't find the label since it doesn't parse the commands inside the /if if it doesn't have to, however it will find a label even if it hasn't reached that point in the alias and so hasn't parsed that label yet. It all seems too inconsistent to be intentional.
