AHK V2: Goto gives Error: Cannot jump from inside a function to outside

[SAbboushi]

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance
#Warn

goto S2
return

S2:
	SetTimer y:=displayMsg3(3333), -1

	displayMsg3(message)
	{
		local y
		y:= Func("displayMsg1") ; closure
		return y

		displayMsg1()
		{
			(message)
		}
	}
return

gives error:

Error: Cannot jump from inside a function to outside.

Line#
---> 004: Goto "S2"
005: Return
008: SetTimer(y:=displayMsg3(3333), -1)
011: {
013: y := Func("displayMsg1")
014: Return y
017: {
018: (message)

The program will exit.

No error if I comment out goto S2 (and Return) or use gosub

btw love the new dark theme on the forum

Easy fix. Stop using Goto and Gosub. They are highly discouraged.

Thanks - anyone else?

Looks like a parsing error, I'm sure it will be fixed.
