Duplicate identifier in two modules
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Duplicate identifier in two modules
| ||
| Currently it is possible to have two modules containing the same identifier, but it's not possible to create an application importing both modules. Normally this doesn't matter since it's not often that two (or more) modules contain functions/variables/types with the same name, however I now got problems with it - I got the same identifier TTCPStream in pub.bnetex and btbn.easytcp. Currently I don't understand why I can't compile any app importing these two modules, since I can exactly describe in the code which of these types I want to use by writing either pub.bnetex.TTCPStream or btbn.easytcp.TTCPStream. It would be nice if this will be possible in the next compiler version. |

| Is it just user defined types? Because I don't have this problem with either variables or functions, but I may not have come across it with UDT's. I agree that - since BMax lets you specify a namespace - it would be nice to be able to do this. Although I'm not sure what would happen if you didn't specify a namespace, but I guess it's already trying to decide that with functions and variables, so I guess the same precedence could apply. |

| Which is the compiler error you're getting? "Compile Error: Duplicate identifier 'TTCPStream' in modules 'pub.bnetex' and 'btbn.easytcp'"sorry; just tested; it seems to be different with modules and applications; in applications the compiler works exactly as I expected to, however when compiling modules it doesn't work. |

| I just tried to reproduce the error, it's a bit wired: you need three modules and one application using them. So if you want to see this error you would need to create the following source files: mod/test.mod/test0.mod/test0.bmx: Strict Module test.test0 Import test.test1 Type M Field F:T EndTypemod/test.mod/test1.mod/test1.bmx: Strict Module test.test1 Type T EndTypemod/test.mod/test2.mod/test2.bmx: Strict Module test.test2 Type T EndTypeuntitled1.bmx: Strict Framework brl.blitz Import test.test0 Import test.test2Just rebuild the modules and try to build and run the application will produce that error message and the ide opens the following file and marks the third line in it: mod/test.mod/test0.mod/test0.debug.win32.x86.i: import brl.blitz
import test.test1
M^Object{
.F:T&
-New%()="_test_test0_M_New"
-Delete%()="_test_test0_M_Delete"
}="test_test0_M"I've currently tested only on win32, but maybe it's the same on other platforms. |
