Bug report

Fri, 24 Oct 1997 13:06:11 +0100

Hi all,

I have found a bug in the new beta. If you export a function in
one unit, and then in another unit that uses that first unit, you
have the same function (but only in the implementation section),
you get a compiler error. This result;

[----]
two.pas:9: warning: static declaration for `Positive' follows
non-static
two.pas: In function `Positive':
two.pas:10: undeclared identifier `I' (first use this function)
two.pas:10: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
two.pas:10: for each function it appears in.)
[----]

is produced by these two units;

unit one;
interface
  function positive(var i:integer):boolean;
implementation
  function positive(var i:integer):boolean;
  begin
    positive := i > 0;
  end;
end.

{//}
unit two;
interface
uses one;
  function negative(var i:integer):boolean;
  function neutral(var i:integer):boolean;
implementation
  function positive(var i:integer):boolean;
  begin
    positive := i > 0;
  end;

  function neutral(var i:integer):boolean;
  begin
    neutral := i = 0;
  end;

  function negative(var i:integer):boolean;
  begin
    negative := i < 0;
  end;
end.
{////}

Best regards, The Chief
