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?

Yes. Multiple units/modules/programs in one source file are not supported perfectly. It will be fixed sometime, but don't hold your breath...

For now, it's best to split your sources into separate files.
