Switch statement and using default case.

[dwayne_jarvis]

Trying to work out if this is a bug or not.

Background info first regarding how I scope variables (rightly or wrongly).

I scope my variables in every file by declaring them inside an if endif statement at the start and end of the file. Variables that are required to be accessible outside of this are in tables that are declared as Global.

I have a local variable called show the variable appears to change within a switch and I don't know if this is a bug or not.

here is the switch statement inside the

Code: Select all

local function _logic

Code: Select all

DebugPrint ("\t<SWITCH>", show)
Switch (show)
Case #SHOW_STAGE:
	ProcessStageSelect ()
	Break
	
Case #SHOW_OPTIONS:
	Options.Process ()
	Break
			
Case #SHOW_STATS:
	Stats.Process ()
	Break
			
Case #SHOW_MEDALS:
	MedalsDisplay.Process ()
	Break
		
Default:
	Widgets.Process ("title")
	Break
			
EndSwitch
DebugPrint ("\t</SWITCH>", show)

I have debugged some output below.
from the output --> is the entry point to a function and <-- is the exit point to a function. Next is the FILE the function belongs to and the parameters passed to it.
e.g.
--> TITLE:Local Function _logic () 2

Refers to entry point to the locally declared function _login within the file TITLE. The number afterwards is the value of show. I normally only show the variables of the passed in parameters, but for this debug session I am showing the value of show so I could see what changes were made to the variable.

TITLE refers to functions executed from the file title.hws and OPTIONS refers to the functions executed from the file options.hws.

Now the output from the session and you will see the value of show change from 2 to 5 then within the <SWITCH> </SWITCH> block it changes from 5 to 2. Show is evaluated within the switch block and exectues the function Widgets.Process which is in another file WIDGETS that does not have scope to the local variable show and should does not reference or change it.

Code: Select all

--> TITLE:Local Function _logic () 2
	<SWITCH> 2
--> OPTIONS:Local Function _back ()
--> TITLE:Local Function _backFromOptions () 2
<-- TITLE:EndFunction _backFromOptions () 5
<-- OPTIONS:EndFunction _back ()
	</SWITCH> 5
<-- TITLE:EndFunction _logic () 5
--> TITLE:Local Function _logic () 5
	<SWITCH> 5
	</SWITCH> 2
<-- TITLE:EndFunction _logic () 2

Is there a chance that using Default in a switch statement is causing this issue? Anyone else experienced this issue?

Found the issue in my code.

Please ignore.
