Incorrect error in line 0 when CFML parsing encounters cfscript-like not-equals

When scanning the following piece of code:

<cfif "foo" <> "bar">Foo</cfif>

The <> triggers a parsing error (which might be an issue in itself – I’m not sure if today’s standards allow script-like use of comparators in CFML; Update: the code does work correctly on Railo 4.2.), which erroneously appears twice in the report output, once correctly with reported line 1, once incorrectly with line 0:

That helps. I agree that the 2nd parsing error should not occur. it is fixed.

I’m fine if this triggers a PARSE_ERROR, but can we have just 1 such error reported and on a valid line? In other words: can we remove the one reported for “line 0”? 😃 We’re feeding these results into SonarQube and this fails now because SonarQube (rightly) reports an invalid line number.
