Hi,
While converting some SUN Pascal Code to GNU Pascal, I encounter a problem of symbol name clash:
I have a module named 'Screen' that contains (and exports) a procedure named 'Screen'. When I compile the module, there is no problem, but when I want to Import SCREEN in an other module, the compiler produces an error on the Import line saying: bad import, and an other saying 'redeclaration of 'Screen'.
So it looks like one cannot have a module and a procedure with the same name. However the two are very different entities - from my point of view -. Are there other possible entities conflicts? (variable or type names) Is there a way to circumvent this problem?
Thanks
