Bad error message on misuse of 'option' #67

Closed strager closed 8 years ago

strager commented 11 years ago 
option 10 some:  // Error is actually here
  noop
else:            // Error is reported here
  noop

// :3:1: compile error:
// unexpected else
// expecting end of input

Does this still apply with the macro change? (I don't have the Kitten compiler available right now.)

Yes. If the corrected version is:

\option 10 some:
  drop noop
else:
  noop

Then this gives the same error as your test case:

option 10 some:
  drop noop
else:
  noop

At the very least it should offer a friendly suggestion.

No longer an issue in the new compiler.
