A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
If a semi-colon is placed right after a close-paren of an if-statement, the compiler lets it through without complaint:

if (statement); // semi-colon here is not caught
{
     some code;
}

JUSTIFICATION :
I spent several hours trying to debug a code, thinking I had some kind of data-type error, when it was only the semi-colon.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compiler complains or at least warns of the syntax problem.
ACTUAL -
Compiles without a warning or error.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
This is very simple. See code above.
