Hello
I just discovered something, which Looks to me like a bug: When I try to use
#while in a macro, I get an error-message:

Parse Error: No matching } in 'object', object found instead

I append the code which triggers the error:


//---------------------------------------------------------------------
#declare myBox = box {<0,0,0> <1,1,1> texture{pigment{color <1,1,1>}}}

#macro myMacro (myStart, myEnd, myBox)
   #local myVar = myStart;

   #while (myVar <10)
       object {myBox translate <myVar,0,0>}    //Here occurs the error
      #local myVar = myVar + 2;
   #end
#end

object { myMacro (0, 20, myBox)}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe there's a solution from someone...

Greetings
Juerg
