Bug in UNIT definitions - Gpc

1 Mar 2000


      Hello again,
Now, I have updated to gpc version 19990118, based
on egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release).
I have found out another bug with this version,
when I define two local variables, with the same
name, in two different units but in the same file,
e.g.
UNIT TEST1;
INTERFACE
IMPLEMENTATION
var Repeated:integer;
END.
UNIT TEST2;
INTERFACE
IMPLEMENTATION
var Repeated:integer;
END.
the following error is displayed
/tmp/cca09330.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cca09330.s:31: Error: Ignoring attempt to re-define symbol
/tmp/cca09330.s:31: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character
is `,'.
If I am defining the variable Repeated in the implementation zone,
why does the assembler think that it's a re-definition?
Is it a compiler bug?
Thank you
