Switch Bug!

[Rohwedder]

Hallo,
this script kills Autohotkey 1.1.31.00 Unicode 64bit W7-Enterprise
not only here!
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=68504

Code: Select all

q::
a = b
b = 5
Switch %a%
{
	Case 5: MsgBox,% A_LineNumber
}

Edit:
The same with this script!
It's not correct, but I expect an error message instead of a death sentence.

Code: Select all

q::
a = 1
Switch a
{
	Case 2,,: MsgBox,% A_LineNumber
}

a contains the character b

[Rohwedder]

That's what's wanted!
See 1. chapter of https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm#operators
and try:

Code: Select all

q::
a = b
b = 5
MsgBox,% %a%

I”m on the road and only have my phone, hence I can”t test.
But I see that you are double referencing in your last example.
I do not have experience with switch yet, thus I do not know if it double references.

It's a bug. Also affects throw %a% and case %a%.
