Objects Bug :-(

Fri, 25 Jul 1997 02:14:12 +0800

A new bug has crept its way into the latest beta of GPC (970714 for DJGPP
2.01). It does not appear in the earlier versions!

Unfortunately I could not make a small test program which demonstrats this
bug. Im working on it...

The bug occurs when loading a unit that contains an object with virtual
methods. The following error message occurs:

bug.pas:2: storage class specified for parameter 'Tobject_Tobject_Methodname'
bug.pas:2: storage class specified for parameter `Tobject_Methodname'

Im hoping that these example error messages reveal what the problem is. I
suspect it has something to do with the duplicate 'Tobject' in the first line.

NOTE: Line 2 of BUG.PAS is 'USES TheUnit;'

Good Luck
