Bug? B4A 5.20 beta - Autocompletion does not work "recursive"

[DonManfred]

This is the code i finally wanted to create

    Dim c As Cursor
    c = cp.Calendars
    If c.RowCount > 0 Then
        For i = 0 To c.RowCount-1
            c.Position = i
            Dim colcount As Int = c.ColumnCount
            Log("columns="&colcount)
            For o = 0 To colcount -1
                Log(c.GetColumnName(o)&"="&c.GetString(c.GetColumnName(o)))              
            Next              
        Next
    End If

    Dim c As Cursor
    c = cp.Calendars
    If c.RowCount > 0 Then
        For i = 0 To c.RowCount-1
            c.Position = i
            Dim colcount As Int = c.ColumnCount
            Log("columns="&colcount)
            For o = 0 To colcount -1
        Next
    End If

I expected to get an NEXT autocompleted after i pressed enter after the -1 in the inner FOR loop but i dont got one.

Bug?

It is a limitation more than a bug.

The compiler connects the new For to the nearest Next and then thinks that the outer For is the one that is missing the closing token. From the parser perspective this is the correct structure.

This issue is fixed for the next update.
It is more complicated than it may seem as the parser needs to "understand" that the existing 'Next' keyword belongs to the outer block (naturally the parser always tries to close the most inner block).

@Erel - I'm assuming this will also apply to other statements like "Do", "If", etc?

 

[Erel]

Yes. It fixes the issue where the block autocomplete feature didn't always work in nested blocks.
