Problem with Optimize javascript output

[Paul]

I have some code that compiles and runs fine but if I select "Optimize javascript output" under Compiler Options I receive an error and it will not compile...

Code: Select all

spiderbasic.js:522: WARNING - unreachable code
return 0;
^

spiderbasic.js:540: WARNING - unreachable code
return "";
^
...

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M

What would cause this and what should I be looking for to fix it?
(sorry I cannot post the source code)

@Paul:

This is the output of a JavaScript linter.

For explanation:

The SB-Procedure:

Code: Select all

Procedure TestProc()
EndProcedure

is converted to

Code: Select all

function f_testproc() {
return 0;
}

(note the return 0)


The SB-Procedure:

Code: Select all

Procedure TestProc()
  ProcedureReturn 42
EndProcedure

is converted to

Code: Select all

function f_testproc() {
if (1) return 42;
return 0;
}

Here, return 0 is unreachable because of return 42

However, this is only a warning and should not interrupt the compile process.

what should I be looking for to fix it?

do not use the Optimizer until further notice.

Any update? It's been another half a year and I'm doing some product release work now, and running into this problem myself all of a sudden. (It JUST started happening since I added some File Requester stuff that uses callbacks. Mostly right from the samples in the help file, and now after a year of working fine, stuff won't optimize. Same kind of error.) There's GOT to be a work-around... It's actually kind of important that I successfully optimize the JS for one particular project.

Please help!
