Title: Tip: Control structure too long near
Post by: Zefk on October 10, 2016, 06:56:30 AM
This can happen with too many if statements  are nested into one if statement.

Control structure too long near

Too many elseif statements in one if control structure can cause the same error.

Code ( lua) Select
if X then
   -- stuff
elseif Y then
   -- stuff
elseif Z then
   -- stuff
end

It can happen with a loop too.

Code ( lua) Select
local b="x=1;"
while true do
        local s="while true do "..b.." end"
        local f,err=loadstring(s)
        print(#b)
        if f==nil then
                print(#b,err)
                break
        end
        b=b..b
end

If you reach this kind of limit, there is something really wrong with your code.
