I was surprised this worked, putting a conditional IF/THEN inside a SELECT CASE, without making it a case!

Code: QB64: [Select]

DO
    DO
        _LIMIT 30
        b$ = INKEY$
    LOOP UNTIL LEN(b$)
 
    SELECT CASE b$
        IF UCASE$(b$) = "A" THEN
            PRINT "A, look at this!"
            b$ = "" ' Note this WON'T avoid CASE ELSE.
        END IF
 
        CASE "1"
            PRINT "one..."
        CASE "2"
            PRINT "two..."
        CASE ELSE
            PRINT "else..."
    END SELECT
LOOP UNTIL b$ = CHR$(27)

Lol, that shouldn’t have worked, I suppose 😂

Fascinating. Now I'm wondering if this can be something that can be relied upon...

I wouldn't go there. Nothing to see here folks, don't pay attention to that man behind the curtain.

Yeah. Don't do it.

It is known that on the C++ translated side all SELECT CASE blocks are a bunch of IFs, but this has gone too far.

Bill, since when did you pick up a sense of humor, and did you purchase or lease?

Pete :D

Fix to the issue pushed into the repository. Please help test it, @Pete and everyone else: https://www.qb64.org/portal/development-build/

Turns out issue went deeper than IF being allowed - all control block structures were being allowed, like DO/LOOP, WHILE/WEND, FOR/NEXT. All of that has been fixed now.
