Closed vabka closed 2 years ago

vabka commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug I am trying to compile a .nolol file but compiling process doesnt finish.

To Reproduce

  1. Create file test.nolol in current directory with content 
    
define :x=:X
define :y=:Y
define :z=:Z

x=:x; y=:y; z=:z


2. Run command `yodk compile ./test.nolol`
3. Wait till heat death of the universe?

**Expected behavior**
Code successfully compiled

**Platform:**
 - OS: Windows 11 and WSLv2
 - yodk: v0.1.6

**Additional context**
Looks like infinite loop somewhere

Without having tested it, I suspect this is caused by define :x=:x. The compiler replaces all occurrences of :x with, :x, which results in new :x to replace leading to an infinite loop . Try changing your definitions to not produce an endless loop. However, I agree that the compiler should detect such a situation and should throw a helpfull error.
