ContinueLoop multiple level unpredictable behavior

[Ascend4nt]

Hi, I've recently had a WEIRD issue pop up in my code - I kept getting a "Variable used without being declared" error. It turns out the issue has to do with ContinueLoop on multiple levels (ContinueLoop #).

Since I removed the inner loop and forgot to remove the '2' from ContinueLoop, it was jumping to another loop. However, here's the funky thing - the OTHER loop was in another function! (in this case, the calling function).

I've successfully reproduced the issue here:

Func TestContinueLoopIssue($iValue)
	While 1
		If $iValue Then
			ContinueLoop 2
		EndIf
	Wend
EndFunc

Func OuterFunc()
	Local $iVal=5
	While 1
		$iVal+=1
		ConsoleWrite("OuterFunc $iVal="&$iVal&@CRLF)
		If $iVal>1000 Then ExitLoop
		TestContinueLoopIssue($iVal)
	WEnd
EndFunc

OuterFunc()

Output:
OuterFunc $iVal=6
C:\testscript.au3 (12) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:
$iVal+=1
^{ERROR
->05:51:17 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1}

As you can see, it seems to 'continue' the loop in the calling function - but since the variable is local to that function, it will not recognize them, thus the crash.

Really weird, it should throw an error on the ContinueLoop 2, because there only one loop.

And btw, there is another, and not less weird behaviour - if we add Local $iVal to the begining of TestContinueLoopIssue function, we got Recursion level error:

Recursion level has been exceeded - AutoIt will quit to prevent stack overflow.

so it seems that when «ContinueLoop 2» is executed, it's calling the parent function (the continuation of it's loop) but still runing the current loop.

And if we add Global $iVal before we calling the OuterFunc() the script is crashed without any messages (Exit code: -1073741819).
