Return statements inside basic blocks #8

Description

@Sh3b0

Code to reproduce

routine power(number : integer, to_power : integer) : integer is
	var tmp is 1;
	if to_power < 1 then
		return 1;
	end
	for i in 0 .. to_power - 1 loop
		tmp := tmp * number;
	end
	return tmp;
end

routine main(input : integer) is 
	println power(2, 3);
	return;
end

Expected behavior

Prints 8

Actual behavior

[LLVM]: [WARNINGS]:
Terminator found in the middle of a basic block!
label %then

ir.ll:38:3: error: instruction expected to be numbered '%1'
  %0 = load i64, i64* %tmp
  ^
1 error generated.
Error generating IR

Comments

  • Return statements inside basic basic blocks (if/else label, for loop) always produce that warning, sometimes the program still work, but it's better to invistigate that issue as it might be the root cause.
