Embedded Loops in Argument List

If you used the result of a leave-with inside an argument list like the following, you will need to re-work the code to be a simple argument list as seen below.

The following code will produce the error:

**** Error: Java exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Method compilation would result malformed stack.
     java_error(exception_type=:|java.lang.RuntimeException|, message="Method compilation would result malformed stack.")

_method system.malformed_stack_example()
    _local els << {1,2,3,4,5}
    _local pl << property_list.new_with(
                     :test,12345,
                     :four,_for a _over els.fast_elements()
                     _loop
                         _if a = 4
                         _then
                             _leave _with a
                         _endif
                     _finally
                         _leave _with :a4
                     _endloop)
    print(pl)

_endmethod
$

Example of code that can be compiled in Smallworld 5

_method system.malformed_stack_example()
    _local els << {1,2,3,4,5}
    _local val << _for a _over els.fast_elements()
                     _loop
                         _if a = 4
                         _then
                             _leave _with a
                         _endif
                     _finally
                         _leave _with :a4
                     _endloop
    _local pl << property_list.new_with(
                     :test,12345,
                     :four,val)
    print(pl)
