Divergence from grammar defined by POSIX

[oguz-ismail]

Observe:

$ bc -s <<x
define a(){
}define b(){
}
x

Parse error: bad token
    <stdin>:2

$ bc -s <<x
define a(){
};define b(){
}
x
$

As per POSIX, the first one should work fine, and the second should fail as a newline is required after a semicolon_list production. No other bc implementation exhibits this behavior except busybox bc, which is a fork of this one if I recall correctly.

This has (hopefully) been fixed in commits 5b2fe30, 81f838f, and 9ffdd5e.

Could you please pull down those commits and test? If they work, I'll release an update soon.

[gavinhoward]

Oh, I meant to say that I looked at the standard, and I agree with you on the interpretation of it.

[oguz-ismail]

@gavinhoward Yeah, it works fine now. Thanks for the fix

[gavinhoward]

Thank you!

I'll run my release process and put out 5.2.1 as soon as it passes.

[gavinhoward]

5.2.1 is out. I believe that solves this issue, so I am going to close. Feel free to reopen if you need to.

Thank you for your report!
