Compiler bug

Greetings,

Yes I made a mistake but I got bitten hard by this in production yesterday.



Create an empty project

In the form load:

dim someObject as object

set someObject = createobject("any.valid.object")

Create an empty function someFunction in form that accepts no arguments

In the form load

someFunction someObject

compile & run

Boom

Access violation.

Why does it even compile?

EDIT

If you make someFunction have a return value like "as boolean" then it no longer compiles

EDIT EDIT

if define someFuncion as a sub instead of a function it also does not compile.
