<p6eval> rakudo 95ce39​: OUTPUT«OH HAI [...]
<masak> moritz_​: why does it do that?
<moritz_> I thinks that the statement is ended after the }
<moritz_> then tries to parse the while as a loop
<moritz_> fails
<moritz_> then parses it as a sub call
<masak> moritz_​: that's just wrong.
<moritz_> it is.

From @pmichaud

STD.pm also has a few parsing issues in this respect (and Rakudo has
been trying to follow STD.pm here).

We'll wait for STD.pm to settle out a bit and then try updating Rakudo
to match again.

STD seems to be treating this case correctly nowadays​:

<jnthn> std​: loop { say "OH HAI"; last } while 1
<p6eval> std 28206​: OUTPUT«�[31m===�[0mSORRY!�[31m===�[0m␤Missing semicolon or
comma after block [...]
* masak adds to the ticket that STD appears to do the right thing nowadays.

Rakudo also reports missing block now; I think this is enough, once we
have a test, to close the ticket. Assigning to moritz++.

From @zhuomingliang

hello, I don't think rakudo follows std, and rakudo gives a wrong error
message.

From @kyleha

I put a test in S04-statements/loop.t, but I'm not sure it's valid now that I think about it.

# RT #​63760
eval_dies_ok 'loop { say "# RT63760"; last } while 1',
  '"loop {} while" is a syntax error (RT 63760)';

From @moritz

test passes, closing ticket.

@moritz - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
