Inconsistent error handling with Execute function in AutoIt

[genius257]

Just noticed this inconsistency with error handling, when using Execute.
Maybe this is common knowledge?
It seems AutoIt does not handle errors when using Execute, but only for the most recent usage? some internal flag being toggled on call and reset on first return?

 

Code without using Execute:

Func a()
    Local $a = [123]
    Return $a[0][1]
EndFunc
a()

Result:

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
Return $a[0][1]
Return ^ ERROR

 

---

 

Code using execute:

Func a()
    Local $a = [123]
    Return $a[0][1]
EndFunc
Execute("a()")

Result: No error

 

---

 

Code using a second Execute within another Execute run:

Func a()
    Execute("")
    Local $a = [123]
    Return $a[0][1]
EndFunc
Execute("a()")

Result:

Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
Return $a[0][1]
Return ^ ERROR

Ain't that a nice feature. This is common.
If the func() has an error, fix it. If execute("@oppsItDontExist") will not be a crash.

All I see is logical in my experience. No flaw.

I would agree, if using a Execute call within a Execute call did not turn errors on again
