Bug description:
When Milu generates mutants, in some special cases, Milu will insert an additional ";" symbol between paired if and else statements, causing the mutants failed being compiled.

How to recreate the bug:

  1. Write the following code to a file, say "bug.c":

include<stdlib.h>

static void func( int new_state )
{
int* arr = 0;
if ( new_state==0 )
arr = (int *) malloc( 8 );
else
arr = (int *) malloc( 16 );
}

void main(int argc, char** argv){
func(0);
}
2. Run Milu to generate mutants on "bug.c", with the default set of operators, but add option "--debug=src":
$ path\to\milu --debug=src bug.c
3. The output will be the original code being parsed and printed without any modification:

include<stdlib.h>

static void func ( int new_state )
{
int * arr = 0 ;
if ( new_state == 0 )
arr = ( int * ) malloc ( 8 ) ;
;
else arr = ( int * ) malloc ( 16 ) ;
;

}

;
void main ( int argc , char * * argv )
{
func ( 0 ) ;
}
4. There is a redundant ";" symbol between the if and the else statement. If you compile this output, the compiler will complain about 'else' without a previous 'if'.

* Temporary Solution for users:*
Put brackets around the if-statement block like this:
if ( new_state==0 )
{ arr = (int *) malloc( 8 ); }
else
arr = (int *) malloc( 16 );
