Syntax error, got an unexpected keyword when use -transpile

[k1gs]

When i try to use "-transpile" to my .HC file i got that message:

➜ ~hcc -transpile main.HC

I'm not able to recreate this, what version are you using (run hcc --version)?

HolyC Compiler 2024. beta-v0.0.7 UNSTABLE

[Jamesbarford]

May you please try with the latest version? I suspect it possibly has been fixed, and due to the compiler being unstable, rightly or wrongly, I am not supporting any previous versions

[k1gs]

the problem remained even after I built the new version.

Interesting. I think the error handling when transpiling is broken, I've observed something similar with the below example (which I'm putting here as a note to self so I can re-create it) that reports something completely incorrect.

Does your code compile with hcc ./main.HC ? I ask as that error reporting does look to be working correctly when compiling and I'm not sure when I can dive into this problem.

Example

Re-creatable problem:

code

U0 Main()
{
  "hello world\n" // < missed off ';'
}

error:

Wrong file reported:

info: Function call `printf` not terminated correctly
 --> /usr/local/include/tos.HH:4
     |
   4 |    * JSON might be easier to maintain than this ever growing header file */
     |
error: Invalid character `}` while parsing function call, perhaps you meant to terminate the arguments with `)` or keep going with `,`?

Thanks a lot for support. Now -transpile and compiling are works!
I couldn't figure out what the problem was, so I decided to rebuild the hcc again and everything worked. Thanks again for the support!
