Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I'm writing this post to avoid creating an
unnecessary github issue.
In the following proc the result variable is being assigned to, but then there
is a last statement that would act as the return value. This causes an error as
expected:
proc foo(name: string): string =
result = "Hello " & name
"this is an error"
echo foo("test")
Run
Output:
> Error: expression '"this is an error"' is of type 'string' and has to be
> discarded
But when you change the assignment to .add, the last statement gets returned
instead of causing an error:
proc foo(name: string): string =
result.add("Hello " & name)
"this should be an error"
echo foo("test")
Run
Output:
> this should be an error
