No, it's a Hilfe bug.

float x=1.0; int n=1; while (x != x+1.0) { x *= 10.0; n++; }

Compiler Error: 1:Undefined identifier "x".

dump wrapper

Last compiled wrapper: 001: #pragma unpragma_strict_types 002: mapping(string:mixed) ___hilfe = ___Hilfe->variables; 003: # 1 004: mixed ___HilfeWrapper() { while ((([mapping(string:float)]___hilfe)->x) != (([mapping(string:float)]___hilfe)->x)+1.0) { x *= 10.0; (([mapping(string:int)]___hilfe)->n)++; } ; } 005:

As you can see the variable rewriter code for some reason interprets the x in the while loop as being in the inner scope.

Hi,

So here it is:

Pike v7.4 release 20 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)

...

float x; int n; x = 1.0;

(1) Result: 1.000000

...

n = 1; while (x != x + 1.0) { x *= 10.0; n++; }; n;

(2) Result: 1 Compiler Error: 1:Undefined identifier x. (3) Result: 1

...

Variable "x" is declared and accessible (1). I do something wrong?

Regards, /Al
