Compiler goes into loop when encountering special characters

[bsynchron]

When starting a line with # or @ the compiler should throw an error,
instead it only loops

[bsynchron]

• not only the start of a line its everywhere except in strings

[bsynchron]

• Also when there is only a string without anything else

Issue is probably related to the parse_statement function:

while loop_control:

  self.__parse_identifier_statement()
  self.__parse_return_statement()
  self.__parse_loop_control_statements(Tag.BREAK)
  self.__parse_loop_control_statements(Tag.CONTINUE)
  self.__parse_while_statement()
  self.__parse_if_statement()

  if self.__lookahead(Tag.FUNC):
    self.__parse_block()

   elif self.__lookahead('}'):
     loop_control = False

We don't throw an Syntax error or exit the loop, when something else than expected is in the token_stream

• Also when there is only a string without anything else

What do you mean with strings without anything?

[bsynchron]

func test(){ "Some string"; }

Thats what I mean by "without anything"

FYI: This compiles

func test(){
   j: int = (1/0);
   Some text that really should cause the compiler to break;
   return j;
}
